MelSpin Casino
Safety Index 0.2 Very low

Case summary

The player from Australia reported that Melspins had forfeited his balance of $1198 without valid evidence of a violation of terms. He highlighted "bad faith" in handling his withdrawal, citing six conflicting reasons provided by support for denying his payout, including claims of "suspicious activity" and "quick spins," which he argued was a standard feature of the games. He possessed screenshots and video evidence demonstrating the inconsistencies in the casino's responses. The complaint was resolved as unresolved due to the casino's lack of cooperation and absence of a valid gaming license or regulatory authority for escalation. It was noted that the casino's poor conduct might negatively impact its rating, but no further assistance could be provided by the Complaints Team.

I am lodging this complaint because Melspins has forfeited my balance of $1198 without providing any legitimate evidence of a terms-of-service violation.

​The core of my dispute is "Bad Faith" handling of my withdrawal:

• ​Contradictory Excuses: Over the course of my dispute, the support team has provided six different, conflicting reasons for denying my payout. I have video evidence of these changing excuses, which proves the casino is "moving the goalposts" to avoid payment.

• ​Latest Claim: They are now claiming "suspicious activity" and "quick spins." "Quick spins" is a standard feature provided by their own game software; using it is not a violation of fair play.

• ​Lack of Proof: The casino has failed to provide any technical logs or specific proof of "suspicious activity," using it instead as a generic "catch-all" to seize my winnings.

​Evidence I can provide:

• ​Screenshots of my PayID deposit receipts.

• ​A video recording showing the support chat/emails where the reasons for denial changed six times.

• ​Screenshots of my gameplay history showing no violations.

Hello James1394,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I regret to inform you that our ability to assist you will be very limited since your case is very similar to multiple others that have been raised with us. We have received multiple complaints in the past from Australian players regarding several questionable casinos operating without an official, reputable gaming license and with a very low safety index rating. While for a certain time the casinos might operate relatively fairly and occasionally even pay out winnings, these casinos often employ strategies to avoid paying out winnings in most cases, a higher amount of winnings—such as issuing fake payment confirmations, accusing players of rule violations without providing solid evidence, the winnings not being recognised by the game provider, or employing other tactics that operate at the very margins of fair and ethical conduct. On top of this, their customer support has proven unhelpful. Unfortunately, based on all the above and our experience, the likelihood of reaching a positive resolution regarding your case with this casino appears to be very low. I strongly advise against any further deposits to this or other similar casinos, and make sure to check the reviews of each casino before depositing your money.

I also recommend that you check our article Scam Casinos and the Practices They Use | Casino Guru

Please be assured that this is not intended to cause further concern. I understand this situation may already be frustrating enough for you. I feel it’s important to keep you clearly informed about the current situation, while also keeping realistic expectations of what can be accomplished from our end.

Nevertheless, I will make an effort to contact the casino and see if there is any way I can assist you.

We would like to invite MelSpin Casino to join the conversation.




Dear MelSpin Casino,

Could you please provide further clarification along with supporting evidence outlining how the player allegedly violated your rules? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could share the evidence regarding the alleged "suspicious betting activity" attributed to the player so that it can be independently investigated, especially as there are concerns regarding the authenticity of these allegations.

If there are any factors relevant to the situation that cannot be shared publicly, please send them directly to me at michal.k@casino.guru.

Dear James1394,

I have attempted to contact the casino; however, as anticipated, this did not lead to any meaningful assistance.

Regrettably, the casino team has not demonstrated a willingness to engage constructively in this matter, which leaves me with no option but to conclude your case as Unresolved.

I understand that this is not a satisfactory outcome. However, the impact on the casino’s rating resulting from unresolved complaints may encourage a reconsideration of their approach. Should the casino choose to respond in the future, the case can be reopened, and you will be notified accordingly.

As the casino operates without a valid and recognizable licence and does not reference any alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service, there is unfortunately no regulatory authority available to escalate this matter further. The only potential course of action is to consider legal action in your jurisdiction against the casino, but this falls outside of our competence

Additionally, I strongly recommend exercising caution and avoiding the casinos listed under Millionaires Group Partnership - Premium Casino Network, as they appear to be operated by the same entity, and there is a high risk of encountering similar issues.

For the future, I would encourage you to choose casinos based on independent reviews and ratings and opt only for those with a good rating to help minimize the likelihood of such situations.

I regret that we were unable to provide more assistance on this occasion.




Best regards,

Michal
