Player stopped responding

Leon Casino
Safety Index:Very low

Case summary

The player from Portugal had created an account at Leon Casino when she was underage but continued using it after reaching the legal age without any verification until she attempted to withdraw her winnings of 1330 €. The casino later blocked her account, citing violations of terms related to underage gambling, but she argued that her winnings were obtained after reaching legal age and that the casino had failed to conduct timely verifications. The complaint was closed due to the player's lack of response to the inquiries and reminders from the Complaints Team. Consequently, no further investigation or resolution could be provided at that time.

I created an account at Leon Casino approximately 10 months ago. At the time of registration, I was under the legal age. However, the casino never requested any age or identity verification, allowing deposits, bets, and losses to be made normally for several months.


Afterwards, I reached the legal age and continued using the same account for more than 4 months while already of legal age, still without any verification request. During this period, all bets were accepted as usual.


The 1330 € in dispute were fully won while I was already of legal age.


Only when I attempted to withdraw the balance did the casino perform a late verification, block the account, and remove all winnings, citing section 2.4 of their Terms and Conditions regarding underage players.


However:


The cited clause applies to players who are underage at the time the winnings are obtained;

There is no clause in the Terms and Conditions that allows the removal of winnings obtained after the player reaches legal age;

The casino accepted deposits and bets for months, including after I became of legal age;

Any irregularity should have been identified and communicated during the normal use of the account, not only when there was money to withdraw.



When questioned, Leon Casino repeatedly stated that I had "consciously violated the T&C" but refused to indicate the specific clause that would justify removing winnings earned while of legal age.

The live chat was closed by the operator without addressing this point.


I believe the casino is applying its Terms and Conditions selectively and incorrectly, attempting to withhold legitimate winnings due to a failure of timely verification, which is the casino’s responsibility.
