Dear Kent Casino representative,
Thank you for taking the time to investigate the player's complaint and for clarifying that the website "Kent Royale" is not affiliated with the legitimate Kent Casino in any way. We appreciate your cooperation and the additional information provided.
Dear tonloc88,
I'm truly sorry about what happened to you. It is completely understandable that you feel you were misled and that you should not be the one left bearing the consequences.
Unfortunately, after reviewing the information provided by both sides, we have confirmed that the website you used was a fraudulent clone impersonating the legitimate Kent Casino. This means that the issue is not one that the legitimate casino can resolve. Although we understand your argument that the fraudulent website copied the casino's branding and appearance so convincingly that you reasonably believed it was legitimate, Casino Guru is not in a position to hold the genuine casino responsible for transactions made with an unrelated fraudulent website.
We have therefore reassigned the complaint so that the fraudulent website does not affect the rating or reputation of the legitimate Kent Casino.
We are also unable to mediate complaints against fraudulent websites such as this one. These operations commonly imitate legitimate casinos, use their branding and trademarks, and may use fabricated promotions or withdrawal requirements to persuade victims to send additional money. Unfortunately, once money has been sent to such an operation, there is usually no legitimate casino or regulatory authority behind it that we can contact or require to return the funds.
For this reason, we cannot assist you in recovering the money you deposited with this website. We strongly recommend that you do not send any further payments to the casino, even if the operators claim that another deposit is required to release your balance or winnings.
If you still have the relevant payment records and communications, we recommend reporting the incident to your local law-enforcement authorities or the appropriate financial cybercrime/fraud-reporting authority. While we cannot guarantee that this will result in the recovery of your funds, your report may help authorities identify the people operating the fraudulent website and potentially prevent further victims.
We have also documented the website as a fraudulent resource and will take appropriate steps to warn other players about it. You can find more information about recognizing and avoiding similar scams in our guides:

I will mark this complaint as unresolved in our records. Although we cannot recover your funds in this particular case, keeping the complaint unresolved allows us to document what happened and serves as a warning to other players who may encounter the same fraudulent website.
I'm genuinely sorry that we cannot give you the outcome you were hoping for. I understand that being told that a website you believed was legitimate was actually a fraudulent copy does not undo the financial loss or the frustration you've experienced. Unfortunately, there is no action we can take through the mediation process that would allow us to recover the funds from the people behind the fraudulent website.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for providing the additional information. It will help us warn other players about this particular scam.
Best regards,
Veronika
