Our verdict

Insufficient evidence from player

Amount: €156,000

Hype.Bet Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Germany faced issues withdrawing €156,000 from hype.bet, formerly known as Torocasino, experiencing multiple delays and a refusal of his withdrawal request. After attempting to block his account and losing all his funds, he sought the return of his winnings and accountability from the new casino. The Complaints Team, after reviewing the situation, concluded that without evidence of self-exclusion requests or documentation of communication with the casino, the complaint could not be upheld. Consequently, the complaint was rejected due to the lack of necessary evidence to support the player's claims.

I almost have to be grateful to zetcasino for their slow payouts. Without the complaint about their casino, I would not have thought about this painful time again. This is about the hype.bet casino, which was still called Torocasino until I threatened criminal consequences. The website www.torocasino.com immediately redirects you to hype. In October 2024, I had an incredible €190,000 in my account and then finally wanted to withdraw €156,000 immediately. The withdrawal was refused on the grounds that the wallet could not handle such large sums, which seemed and was a complete lie. After two or three days and only after I asked, I was asked to do the KYC, which I did immediately with such a huge sum. During the check, I repeatedly asked what the status was and continued playing for a while, but then wanted to be blocked. Of course, the self-exclusion didn't work either and I asked support to block me, but they ignored my request again! When I then asked support every day how things would proceed and that I would like to be blocked, as alleged technical problems were preventing the whole thing, I admittedly became increasingly nervous. I begged support to block me and that's what happened... when I had lost everything!!!

I was then banned immediately, but funnily enough, only after all the money had gone. I was able to contact support, but they refused to give me any information. I then contacted kinguin.net, as this portal had sold the vouchers. I sent them the chat excerpts that I still had, and they couldn't help me, even after a dozen emails.

I looked at the kinguin website yesterday and lo and behold, the vouchers are no longer being sold and it turned out that the casino was only available via a redirect to hype.bet. If that isn't interesting and extremely noticeable, I don't know what is.

Smaller withdrawals up to, I think, around €9000 were no problem for the casino and these were processed within 1-2 days.

If torocasino no longer exists, I demand this amount from hype.bet!

Dear Deltrax,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to open this account, or if yes, only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with a gambling problem).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? My email address is [email protected].

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Veronika

Hello Veronika,


I didn't really care how it was handled. You could have yourself banned from playing for a week and that didn't work at all and never at any time.

Also, don't leave €156,000 in an account at a casino you don't trust and close the account!

This would be as if you were mentally and effectively saying goodbye to this money, since this account would never have been reopened.


I never received my chat logs, but you are very welcome to ask the criminals at hype.bet or BlackSands and request them with my authorization. I have not received any feedback or answer and this has been the case for months.


As long as these criminals do not have an unassailable reputation, I request that you request these records with my authority.

The servers should still be the same!


Thank you

Kind regards

Dominik K.

Thank you for your reply. I understand how upsetting this situation must be for you, and I truly want to help you resolve this. However, our complaint resolution process must follow certain steps to ensure fairness and accuracy.

For us to proceed with a claim for a refund of your lost deposits, we require evidence from you that you made the self-exclusion requests to the casino. This is a critical part of the process, as it helps verify that the casino was aware of your request to block or close your account. The casino may state that they no longer have the records. Therefore, it is the player’s responsibility to provide any documentation or evidence, such as chat logs or emails, showing these requests.

Without this evidence, we won't be able to continue with the investigation.

I have to be honest here and I don't have high hopes of seeing a single cent of the €156,000 again. (It's not about my deposits, but about the profit I made 😉)

I, the Smart Smurf, had not saved the emails separately after the actions, or had not expected to be banned immediately, so that I would still have had access to my chat logs.

It is a failure to assist players with technical problems that prevent them from self-excluding, and not to guarantee the option of self-exclusion through the awfully poor support. And all this with €156,000 in the account!!!!

The whole thing was a targeted blockage of the payout and simply fraud.

Of course, these criminals will deny everything, but doesn't it seem a bit strange to you that the casino that I threatened with prosecution is being closed, Kinguin, the seller of these dubious vouchers, is removing them from its range and BlackSands is opening a new casino that can even be reached via the link to the old, damned casino?!

Anyone who still believes in coincidence has completely stopped thinking clearly!

I also received no response from Kinguin Support on this matter, and of course, because they would be held responsible for the crap they did!


Apart from that, and since you are talking about fairness:

What's stopping you from simply writing to the casino and asking???

This has nothing to do with violating any rights, but would simply be legitimate because I don't receive a response from hype, as my emails obviously end up in their spam folder.

If you don't want to make accusations after all these random coincidences, fine!

But just ask!

Thank you for your response. I truly understand the difficult situation you’re in. It’s clear this has been an incredibly stressful experience, and I deeply regret that you’ve had to go through it.

Please note that verification can take a few days, and it is important to resist the urge to play while you are waiting for your account to be manually verified by the relevant department. Since you lost your balance in regular gameplay and do not have any evidence of requesting self-exclusion due to gambling addiction, we must unfortunately reject your complaint.

Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Best regards

Veronika
