Dear Morospin Casino Team,
Thank you for your email and for providing the requested additional information and supporting evidence.
Dear Glenn130991,
After reviewing all the information and evidence gathered in relation to this matter, I have reached the following conclusion.
To a certain extent, I understand your view that morospin.be may appear to be a casino website and could give some visitors the impression that players from Belgium are permitted to register and play. However, as explained above, morospin.be is just a landing page providing information about the casino rather than the casino’s official operating website.
Furthermore, when the Register button is clicked, it redirects the visitor to a completely different casino other than Morospin.
The information and evidence provided to me also confirm that you registered through morospin.com, not morospin.be, as your submissions appeared to suggest. It is not possible to register directly at morospin.be, as this page does not operate as the casino’s registration platform.
I have also considered your argument that the casino should not have permitted you to register, deposit, and play. However, requirements for operators to verify a player’s location or eligibility before allowing gameplay are generally imposed by the local laws and regulations of specific jurisdictions, primarily on operators licensed in or expressly targeting those regulated markets. Such requirements do not automatically apply to foreign or offshore companies operating under a different regulatory framework unless those laws have applicable extraterritorial effect.
Player verification may be requested at any stage. However, it is most commonly initiated when a withdrawal exceeds a specified threshold, when concerns relating to responsible gambling are identified, or when other circumstances require additional checks. This is standard practice across the majority of online casinos.
Dissatisfaction with funds lost through ordinary gameplay does not generally constitute a valid basis for requesting a refund, as participation in casino games inherently involves the risk of financial loss.
As previously explained, players are responsible for reviewing the applicable Terms and Conditions before registering. By opening an account and using the website, the player confirms that online gambling is lawful and permitted in the jurisdiction from which the services are accessed and that the website will not be used from any jurisdiction in which such use is prohibited.
Although this approach may not be particularly user-friendly, it is a common contractual practice among gambling operators.
As my colleague Attila already informed you, Casino Guru does not have the legal authority to determine the jurisdictions in which a particular casino may lawfully provide its services or to enforce licensing and gambling regulations.
As the central issue of your complaint concerns whether the casino was legally permitted to offer its services in Belgium, this is not a matter that we can determine or enforce through our complaint-resolution forum. Such concerns must be referred to the appropriate regulatory or other competent authority in your jurisdiction.
However, based on the information and evidence available, the funds you deposited were used during ordinary gameplay and were subsequently lost through that gameplay. There is no indication that the casino confiscated legitimate funds or withheld a remaining balance that would otherwise have been payable to you.
Consequently, we have no basis on which we could require the casino to refund funds that were deposited and subsequently lost through normal gameplay.
Having reviewed the matter in full, I have not identified any conduct by the casino that would be contrary to its T&Cs or the industry standard regulations. I must therefore close this complaint as rejected.
You remain entitled to pursue the matter with the appropriate regulatory or other competent authority in your jurisdiction if you continue to believe that the casino acted unlawfully. Should you receive a formal decision from such an authority, you are welcome to forward it to me at michal.k@casino.guru, and I will review the matter accordingly.
For any future play, I strongly recommend reviewing the casino’s Terms and Conditions, licensing information, and jurisdictional restrictions before registering or making a deposit.
You are welcome to contact us if you encounter an issue with another casino. We will be glad to assess the circumstances and will try to assist where the matter falls within the scope of our complaint-resolution process.
Best regards,
