Amount: €290

Manekispin Casino
Safety Index 6.2 Below average

Case summary

The player from Greece had won €290 after depositing €20 at Manekispin but had his account blocked when he requested a withdrawal due to identification issues. Despite providing a valid ID, driver's license, and an official phone bill, the casino closed his account and refunded only the initial deposit, withholding his winnings, citing failure to complete KYC verification. The player disputed the casino's claim that his documents were false or misleading and requested evidence, but the casino did not provide specific proof. The complaint was ultimately closed by the Complaints Team due to the player's lack of further response, with the option to reopen it remaining open.

I deposited €20 at Manekispin, won €290 and as soon as I requested a withdrawal, they blocked my account with the excuse of identification. Although I have sent a valid ID and an official phone bill PDF, they refuse to identify me and offer me back only the €20 of the deposit, illegally withholding my winnings. I ask for your mediation to get the €290".

1. How long I was a player and when it was blocked: I registered a few days ago, made a €20 deposit, and played. My account was disabled right after I requested a withdrawal for my €290 winnings.

2. How I learned about the block: When I tried to log back into my account, a message appeared on my screen stating that my account has been disabled.

3. What games I played: I only played slots (κουλοχέρηδες) to accumulate my winnings.

4. Did I use a bonus: No, I played with my own real money (€20 deposit), without any bonus.

5. Communication and updates: I am attaching screenshots of my communi



Right after I filed this complaint to CasinoGuru, the casino (Manekispin) contacted me via email and asked for my driver's license for additional verification. I sent them perfect, high-quality photos of my license immediately.

Instead of completing my verification and paying my legitimate winnings, they just sent me an email stating they processed a 'refund' on my original €20 deposit, and they confiscated my €290 winnings. My account is still disabled.

I absolutely do not accept this unfair resolution. I played fairly, provided all my real documents, and I am asking for your intervention to get my full €290 winnings.

I have attached all the relevant emails and the photos of my ID/driver's license below."

"Update: I just received a reply from the casino (Manekispin). They sent me a generic, automated template stating that their decision is final and 'in compliance with the terms of service', without providing absolutely any explanation or naming any specific term that I supposedly violated. It is clear they have no valid reason to confiscate my winnings. I am attaching their email below for Tomas to see."

Thanks for your patience.

  • Could you please explain which documents were requested from you, other than the driver's license you provided?
  • Were any of the documents accepted, to your knowledge?
  • Have you made any previous successful payouts from the casino?
  • Could you please specify whether you used a payment method in your name to deposit and withdraw?

Looking forward to your reply.

1. Other documents requested: Originally, they asked for an ID/Passport and a utility bill, which I sent (I provided my Cosmote phone bill). After I opened this complaint, they additionally requested my driver's license, which I also sent immediately.

2. Were any documents accepted: They never officially informed me if any documents were accepted or rejected. They just ignored the verification process, closed my account, and refunded my deposit.

3. Previous successful payments: No, this was my very first deposit and my very first withdrawal attempt at this casino.

4. Payment method in my name: Yes, absolutely. The deposit of €20 was made using a payment method strictly in my own name (Menelaos), and the withdrawal was requested to the exact same account/card under my name.

Dear MENELAOS,


We would like to inform you that your account has been closed and your winnings confiscated due to your failure to complete the standard KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process, as required under our Terms and Conditions.


As stated in our Terms of Use, failure to comply with KYC requirements may result in account suspension or closure, as well as the confiscation of winnings:


2.5. It is the player's responsibility to ensure that all documents submitted as part of the KYC process are genuine. The provision of false or misleading documents may result in the confiscation of both deposits and any potential winnings.


In accordance with these terms, and due to the incomplete verification process, your deposited amount has been refunded.


Dear Igor,


We have sent you a separate email containing further details. Please review it at your earliest convenience.


Best regards,

Manekispin Casino

Hi, I completely reject the casino's claims. The claim that I provided false or misleading documents is completely untrue and a cheap excuse for them to avoid paying out my legitimate winnings. Every document I submitted—including my official Cosmote phone bill and my state driver's license—is 100% genuine, valid, and legally in my own name (Menelaus). Since the casino claims under term 2.5 that my documents are not genuine, I formally challenge them here in front of you: 1. Which specific document are they claiming is false or misleading? 2. What exactly is in that document? They can't just cite a random term to confiscate €290 without presenting any real proof. I have been fully cooperative from day one and I ask the casino to provide clear evidence to you, , regarding these false accusations.

Dear MENELAOS,

In addition to the previously mentioned driver's license and phone bill, you also provided what appears to be an ID document.

Could you please send me detailed photos of this document from both sides?
