Case summary

The player from Japan faced withdrawal refusal and confiscation of his remaining balance after using a first deposit bonus at K8 Casino, with no clear explanation given for the violation of terms. He sought to appeal the decision but was told that appeals were not accepted, claiming his situation lacked evidence of bonus abuse. We attempted to resolve the issue by communicating with the casino to obtain clarification, but the casino failed to respond. Consequently, the complaint was marked as unresolved due to the lack of cooperation from the casino. The player was advised to contact the Curacao Gaming Control Board for further assistance.

I registered with k8 Casino and won using the first deposit bonus. After clearing the wagering requirements, I requested a withdrawal, but had to wait a while.

When I contacted support, they told me that my withdrawal had been refused and my remaining balance had been confiscated because they had confirmed a violation of the terms of use, but I had no idea what had happened and they didn't give me any further explanation.

I told them I was not satisfied and would like to file an appeal, but they said they do not accept appeals.


As circumstantial evidence, we can submit that the casino's inspection department checked to see if there were any duplicate IP addresses when receiving the bonus, but this was not the case and the bonus was received directly from support.

Since the bonus was distributed at this stage, if there is suspicion of multiple accounts due to overlapping IP addresses, it is clearly a fabrication.

Next, there are no group activities.

If so, I'd like you to provide evidence of that.

There is no possibility of bonus abuse. We are playing within the rules.

This is a malicious confiscation to refuse large withdrawals.

Please take strict action.

I've attached a screenshot of my interaction with support.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise how long you were a player at the casino and when exactly your account was blocked?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports)

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

Best regards,

Tomas

I played at the casino for two or three days.

After completing the wagering requirements for the bonus, I played a bit and then requested a withdrawal.

My account is not blocked, but the balance was confiscated on 12/23.

Withdrawal requests are due on 12/20.


I only played slots.

Of course, it's not a banned game.

Hello tokidoki369,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Tomas will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Dear tokidoki369,

I have tried to contact the K8 Casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Control Board and submit a complaint to them. The regulator states that it will not handle individual disputes between players and operators, but if you would like to try and contact them anyway, you can do so here: (complaints@cga.cw) Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
