Case summary

The player from Japan had won and applied for a withdrawal, but received an email stating that his winnings had been confiscated during the review process. He sought assistance to recover his winnings. The casino explained that the account closure and confiscation had been actions taken by the previous operator before the current operator acquired the brand, and thus declined responsibility. The player insisted that the current operator should assume responsibility for past issues as they continued to operate under the same brand. We maintained that the current operator was responsible to investigate and pursue the previous management to resolve the complaint. Due to the casino's lack of cooperation and failure to provide contact details for the previous operator, the complaint was marked as unresolved.

I registered on 11/22 and played for the first time. I won without using the bonus and when I applied for a withdrawal, my account was verified and I submitted it, but during the review process I received an email saying my winnings had been confiscated.

I was not able to hear the reason and it was confiscated unilaterally, so I can't do anything about it, so please cooperate.

My account was closed after I withdrew the funds.



We played on the slot machines Limbo, Sweet Bonanza, and Sugar Rush.



My emails are also blocked so I can't contact Mystino.



It was confiscated without KYC passing.

Dear gp5tmW45 and Casino Guru team,


Please note that prior to 2nd December, Mytsino Casino was operated by another company Curisle N.V. The account closure and related confiscation you are referring to were made by this previous operator. 


For this reason, we are unfortunately unable to process or remit any winnings connected to actions taken before the acquisition and migration. We kindly ask you to contact Curisle N.V. for any dispute or clarification regarding the decision taken at that time.


Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.


Kindest regards,

Mystino Complaints Team

it's out of the question.

If they are continuing to operate under the Mystino name, the responsibility should be borne by the management after they take over.

Furthermore, the confiscation took place a week before I took over, so talk of acquiring it must have already been happening.

In other words, such confiscations could give rise to suspicion that the person in question was attempting to avoid responsibility.

Please take over the responsibilities of the previous management.

Thank you for the update Mystino Casino representative. As the player mentioned, the responsibility to investigate this matter lies with the current operator. When you take over a business, you don’t just inherit the assets—you also assume responsibility for any ongoing issues, including unresolved complaints. That means it’s up to the new management to review past decisions, follow up with previous operators if necessary, and ensure that outstanding concerns are handled properly. Customers shouldn’t be expected to chase down former management; the continuity of service falls under the current operator’s duty of care. As such, I would appreciate it if you could look into the matter with the previous operator. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Although they seem to ignore support, it appears to be run by the same company as Vera John Casino and Yuugado.

If Mystino doesn't respond, I can't even accept that the ratings of Vera John Casino and Yuugado will also drop.

I can't tolerate unresolved complaints.

It's the same company that operates Vera John Casino and Yuugado.

If ignored, they will be punished.

If this were allowed to continue, people could create a huge number of websites and commit any kind of crime they wanted.

I would like to explain the operations of Vera John Casino and Yuugado.

Dear Casino Guru and gp5tmW45,


Please note that the current operator only acquired the brand and not the business, as you claim. We cannot assume responsibility for any previous decisions, agreements, or actions taken by the former operator. The matter you have raised relates to a period when the previous operator was solely responsible for managing the business and its customer relationships.


As such, we do not have the authority or ability to review or alter decisions made when the brand was operated by another business. Any queries or disputes concerning that time should be directed to the former operator, as they remain the appropriate party to address your claim.



We appreciate your understanding.


Kind regards,

Complaints Team

Is it correct to say that the operator of Vera John Casino Yuugado believes that this will be accepted?

If they were to abandon responsibility for this incident, it could be said that they were helping the previous operator run away with the money.

Brand acquisition involves the transfer of all rights and obligations.

Also, users have no way of knowing about the acquisition notification other than when it switches on.

This is a case of fraud. Please take full responsibility and make amends.

I can't even communicate directly with my predecessor.

Will the current management even abandon the idea of holding their predecessors accountable?

It's not acceptable to buy a brand and then turn a blind eye.

Mr. Casino Guru, if you continue to make this claim, it will be shocking to the casino industry.

They should make a big announcement and take action to shut down the operating company.

This is an unprecedented case of fraud.

Thank you for the update Mystino Casino representative. Would it be possible to provide me with any way to contact the previous operator? If needed, you can forward any information to my email. (peter.c@casino.guru) Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Casino Guru


Is this kind of shirking of responsibility acceptable in the casino industry?

Won't the casino industry be punished for not taking accountability for buying and seizing a brand?

If this passes, we can do whatever we want.

Please give us your opinion.

Thank you for the response Mystino Casino representative.

Dear gp5tmW45, The casino has been unable to provide any relevant contact details and has not assisted in the resolution of this complaint in any capacity. We therefore maintain our position that the responsibility to investigate this matter lies with the current operator.

Whether the current operator acquired only the brand rather than the full business is not relevant from the player’s perspective, as both are effectively perceived as the same entity. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the current operator to pursue the previous management if it wishes to prevent potential reputational damage to the brand.

Regrettably, without the casino’s cooperation, there is little more that can be achieved at this stage. We will therefore mark this complaint as unresolved in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

Kind regards,

Peter
