Case summary

The player from the Netherlands faced unlawful withholding of €1000 in winnings and the removal of €200 without evidence from Instant Casino. He had completed all wagering requirements, and his funds were clearly marked as withdrawable, yet the casino ignored his formal complaint and provided no proof for the actions taken. We asked him for bonus, KYC, game, and email details to investigate the case, but he did not reply to our follow-up messages or reminder. As a result, the complaint was closed due to lack of response and no further investigation could be carried out.

📄 Short CasinoGuru Complaint – Instant Casino


Casino: Instant Casino

Player: Yaser (Netherlands)

Issue: Unlawful withholding of €1000 + removal of €200 without evidence

1. Summary of the Issue


Instant Casino voided €1000 in withdrawable winnings and removed €200 from my balance without providing round IDs, logs, or any proof.

All wagering requirements were fully completed, my bonus balance was €0, and my funds were clearly marked as withdrawable.


The casino has ignored my formal complaint.


---


2. What Happened


• I completed €846.80 wagering

• Bonus = €0

• Locked balance = €0

• No active bonus

• €1000 was shown as withdrawable

• Later voided without evidence

• €200 removed without logs

• Casino gave a €30 non‑withdrawable bonus instead of returning real money



This is retroactive bonus enforcement and unlawful withholding of real funds.

3. Evidence Provided


• Screenshot: bonus = €0

• Screenshot: locked balance = €0

• Screenshot: wagering completed

• Screenshot: €1000 withdrawable

• Screenshot: €500 → €300 balance drop

4. Requested Resolution


1. Pay the €1000 withdrawable winnings

2. Refund the €200 removed without evidence

3. Provide full logs and round IDs

4. Remove the €30 bonus

5. Close my account properly

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

  • Could you please send me a link to or a screenshot of the bonus you activated and played with? Was it a deposit bonus or a free, no-deposit bonus?
  • Did you receive any emails from the casino's customer support explaining why your winnings were confiscated? If so, kindly forward these emails to me at veronika.f@casino.guru. Please also include the screenshots you mentioned, as I could not find any attached to your complaint.
  • Have you passed the full KYC verification, or at least submitted any identity documents to the casino as part of the KYC process?
  • What types of games did you play before your winnings were voided?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika
