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.
