The player was advised to follow the casino's terms and conditions to prevent similar issues in the future.

I am writing to formally complain about the unjust seizure of my deposited funds in my casino account

I made deposits of 4000€ into my account and engaged in gameplay, during which I incurred a significant net loss. At no point did I generate any winnings. Despite this, lucky hunter have seized my entire 3500€ balance, claiming a violation of their terms and conditions.

I strongly dispute the fairness and legality of this action. The funds in question represent my own deposits, not any winnings generated through gameplay. Withholding or confiscating my original deposits — especially when i was in a net loss position — is unreasonable and unfair. I understand that if winnings had been generated, the casino might be entitled to seize those winnings in case of a terms violation but thats not the case. Even if you believe a terms violation occurred, this does not entitle the Lucky hunter to retain funds that never belonged to the casino in the first place.

I therefore demand the immediate refund of my remaining balance to my original payment method(s).

Should you fail to return my deposits, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter further. This includes filing complaints with relevant gambling regulatory authorities and consumer protection organizations in my jurisdiction.

Thank you for your immediate attention.


regards,

I was buying bonuses from le bandit with 1€ bet, nothing suspicious or noticeable changes during game play. Lucky hunter have had issues with other players before so its not first time some of these curacao licensed casinos are trying to seize funds without any reason. I dont have any other communications with the casino other than they informed that my account is closed via administration and regarding that i have broken anti fraud terms even tho i have not done any suspicious activities, i deposited 4000€ raw money and did not take any bonuses, bought le bandit bonus buys with 1€ bet and tried to withdraw my 3500€ remaining balance (500€ loss). I tried to ask two times via email if they will refund the remaining balance but no answers heard so i had to make an complaint.

Dear Lucky Hunter Casino,

Thank you for the information and evidence provided for our independent review.



Dear xte123,

Following a comprehensive review of all available information and the evidence gathered during our investigation, I regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed further with this case.

Compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) requirements is a fundamental obligation across the gambling industry and forms an essential part of every player’s responsibilities.

Unfortunately, in this instance, you do not meet these requirements, and your conduct was found to be in breach of the rules communicated to you by the casino team. You agreed with the casino T&Cs upon registering your account.

As a result, based on the information and evidence available to us, we have no alternative but to reject this complaint as Unjustified since the violation of the casino rules has been confirmed and the Lucky Hunter Casino management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions.

You certainly have the right to disagree with this conclusion and can reach out to the casino licensing authority or the relevant body in your country if you still feel justified in your position, but we are unable to offer any additional assistance regarding this issue. Feel free to let me know of the licensing authority decision should you opt for this route at michal.k@casino.guru.

I strongly recommend that you take some time to read, understand, and most importantly, follow the casino’s terms and conditions to avoid similar situations in the future.

Should you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.




Best regards,

Michal
