Newlucky Casino - Player’s withdrawal has been delayed due to account access issues.

I applied for a withdrawal of 9000€ from this casino, but when I looked at it after a while, it was blocking access from Japan.

I contacted support but no response.

I have not applied for withdrawal of the full amount due to the amount limit.

Please have a casino representative call me to explain the withdrawal schedule.

I cannot provide any further documentation or other information as I do not have access to the site.

In accordance with our standard procedure, I’d like to invite a representative from Newlucky Casino to join this conversation. Their participation will help ensure a smoother and more efficient resolution of your case.

Dear Newlucky Casino,

Could you please provide a comprehensive explanation of this case, including the specific reasons why the player is currently unable to access the website from Japan despite previously being able to do so?

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear andandjonnyx,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. I will mark the complaint as unresolved in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.

Unfortunately, since the casino is regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) - also referred to as the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) - there is currently no formal process for handling individual player complaints. The CGA has publicly stated that it does not have the authority to mediate disputes or arbitrate between players and operators, and therefore cannot order compensation or provide binding resolutions.

However, the CGA has also acknowledged that player complaints are valuable in identifying potential breaches of licensing obligations. They are actively working on implementing measures to address such matters more effectively in the future. For this reason, it is still worth submitting your complaint through their official contact form or by sending an email to their address at [email protected].

Please make sure to include the name of the casino’s operator in your submission, as omitting this information may result in the complaint being disregarded.

You can find further guidance on submitting complaints to regulators on this link.

I'm truly sorry I couldn't offer a more favorable resolution in this case.

The casino has contacted me.

After cashing out hundreds of euros in bonuses at this casino, I played through them and increased my balance to €9,000.

However, the casino is now claiming to reduce my winnings.

The terms and conditions regarding winnings from bonuses should only cover restrictions when converting bonuses into real money.

maximum withdrawal amount = "The maximum cash amount available after meeting the bonus wagering requirements"

Imposing restrictions on winnings earned with real money is not fair.

Dear andandjonnyx,

Thank you for sharing this information.

Dear Newlucky Casino,

Could you please provide the player’s complete game log, preferably in CSV, XLSX, or any other convenient format, covering the activity from the time of deposit up to the withdrawal request when the final amount was capped?

You may send this evidence directly to my email at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

As previous complaints have shown, this casino automatically cuts bonuses to their limits once you reach the wagering requirements. 

It's clearly unfair to then cut any subsequent increases you make with real money play.

Dear Andandjonnyx and Casino Guru Team,

We hope this message finds you well.

We have sent the requested document to your email address as instructed. We will be waiting for your feedback regarding this case.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Best regards,

NewLucky Casino Team

Dear Newlucky Casino,

Thank you for providing the requested game logs.

According to the records, the wagering requirements for the player’s bonus were fulfilled with the final bet (ID: 2821586712) placed on July 19 at 16:33:40. At this exact timestamp, the logs also indicate an operation involving the bonus funds, which appears to be their transfer into the player’s real balance. From that point forward, the player was playing with real funds. While these funds originated from the bonus, the bonus conditions should no longer have been applicable.

From our perspective, if the player was neither warned that bonus conditions would continue to apply after the wagering requirements had been met nor prevented from continuing gameplay before requesting a withdrawal, enforcing a bonus cap on real balance winnings is unfair.

For these reasons, we believe the player should receive the full amount of winnings obtained from real balance play.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Andandjonnyx and Casino Guru Team,

After reviewing your case, we would like to clarify that the partial write-off of your winnings was carried out strictly in accordance with our Bonus Terms and Conditions, which are publicly available on our website and can be viewed by anyone.

It is correct that the player successfully completed the bonus wagering and continued playing with real funds. However, these funds originated from a bonus, and according to our terms and conditions — which every player agrees to when participating in bonus offers — the maximum withdrawal amount after completing the wagering requirements cannot exceed 10 times the initial bonus amount.

This rule is clearly stated in our Bonus Policy (Bonus Deposit Section, point 20):

"If you wish to place a withdrawal after the wagering requirements have been met, you must note that the maximum withdrawal amount after its wagering is 10x from the initial bonus amount. NewLucky reserves the right to write off the remaining balance from the winnings after wagering individually."

For transparency, you can find the relevant section and rule here:

- Link: https://newlucky.com/policy/bonus/

- Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/0q0t1juuFVO6

We have already informed the player directly about this adjustment and explained the specific rule that applied. Please rest assured that all actions taken were fully in line with our published and agreed-upon terms.

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

NewLucky Casino Team

The "Withdrawable Amount" here generally refers to the amount displayed in your account as "Withdrawable Amount" after the bonus wagering requirements have been completed.

This casino's system automatically reduces the amount even after the bonus wagering requirements are met, effectively applying the bonus terms twice.

Please review the complaint I submitted previously.

This casino forcibly set my balance to €400 after I met the bonus wagering requirements.

Ultimately, this was an error caused by the casino failing to clearly state the cashout limit. However, the terms were already applied immediately after I met the bonus wagering requirements, and subsequent application was not permitted.

In any case, the casino has yet to return a single euro of the funds.

Order the full refund of the funds by this weekend.

Dear andandjonnyx,

I have reviewed your previous complaint involving Newlucky Casino, as you suggested, and found the following record:

Could you please check your transaction history and confirm whether you have any similar records after wagering this bonus?

Thank you for your cooperation.

I want you to review the complaint from the very beginning.

I already cannot access this casino in the first place.

The crucial point is that this casino operates a system where "if the bonus wagering requirements are met while exceeding the limit, the bonus is forcibly confiscated."

I understood this from my previous complaint, which is why I believed "the limit would not be reapplied after meeting the wagering requirements."

Because doing so would mean this casino is applying the bonus terms and conditions twice.

This reasoning seems natural, doesn't it?

If submit casino history, you'll likely find that when met the wagering requirements for this bonus, several hundred dollars in bonus funds disappeared, followed by several hundred dollars in real money being credited.

If I had $10,000 in real money at that point, it would have been reduced to around $6,000.

At this moment, it's generally considered that the casino's bonus terms and conditions have been applied.

Dear Newlucky Casino,

We find the reasoning and enforcement of the bonus rules in this case to be highly unfair toward the player. Your system clearly recognizes when a player is engaging in bonus play and when the bonus wagering has been completed, transferring the remaining funds to the real balance.

You have also confirmed that the player continued playing with real funds. Therefore, it is evident that the funds were indeed real at that point. The statement suggesting that these funds, while real, still "originated from the bonus" lacks logical distinction. Once the wagering requirements are fully met and the balance is converted into real funds, there should be no difference in treatment - the funds are, by definition, real.

Moreover, the bonus itself originated from real money, which further blurs the line in this reasoning. If the player had withdrawn the balance immediately after completing the wagering and then redeposited the same amount, the funds would have been treated differently, even though the situation would be identical. This indicates that the rule’s enforcement forces unnecessary transactions solely to trigger a specific balance condition - a process that could easily be handled automatically by your system.

Additionally, the previous issue involving the player andandjonnyx at your casino, where winnings were capped, demonstrates that such system-based restrictions have been applied before.

From our perspective, this bonus winning cap has been unjustly applied to real funds. Therefore, we believe the player is entitled to receive the full amount in question.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Andandjonnyx and Casino Guru Team,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please note that your case is currently under review by our relevant department. Our team is carefully analyzing all the details related to your bonus winnings to ensure a fair and transparent resolution.

We will definitely find a proper solution and provide you with a detailed response regarding this case shortly.

Best regards,

NewLucky Casino Team

The main issue with this complaint isn't the bonus, but the significant delay in withdrawals.

First, please withdraw the 6,000 euros immediately.

It's been several months already, and nothing has been paid out.

After that, decide whether to pay the 3,000 euros that Casino Guru and I claim should be paid. If you refuse to pay, accept that this casino will face significant penalties and its rating will plummet.

Is that acceptable?

Dear Newlucky Casino,

Could you please provide an estimated timeframe for the completion of your analysis? I have already shared Casino Guru’s position regarding your actions, and we are unable to keep this complaint open indefinitely.

Thank you for your attention and timely response.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hello to the player and the community,

Hello to the Casino Guru team,

As the Head of VIP at NewLucky Casino, this case was brought to my attention during our regular monitoring of player feedback and continuous efforts to improve the quality of our service. I reviewed the complete complaint history, correspondence, and the actions taken by our team. This required more time than the standard response window, but in certain cases, accuracy and a thorough approach are more important than speed. My intention is always to provide the highest possible level of service.

Below are the final conclusions I have reached. These decisions are final.

1. Regarding the GEO restrictions

We did indeed close access from the GEO where the player previously logged in. This was a global business decision and was not aimed at any specific individual. We understand this may have caused difficulties when attempting to log in.

The player’s account remains open and accessible. In 2025, changing an IP address does not present any technical difficulty.

2. On the reasons for the GEO restrictions

While I am not required to publicly disclose the internal logic behind such decisions, I can note that they are primarily based on two factors:

- prioritizing the markets where we plan long-term development,

- and the increasing number of players attempting to systematically abuse bonus policies.

These measures are in place to maintain a fair and sustainable gaming environment.

3. Regarding the partial confiscation of winnings

After a full review of the case, I have overturned the previous decision to confiscate part of the player’s winnings.

Believe me, casinos in this industry have many legitimate grounds to apply such measures, and decisions of this kind are taken only when absolutely necessary. In this particular case, I do not see grounds to maintain the confiscation.

The funds will be returned to the player’s account shortly.

4. Regarding the withdrawal

The player was repeatedly asked to provide bank details needed to process a fiat withdrawal. We have never received a reply, even though our emails were successfully delivered.

The complaint was initiated on the basis that the player wishes to withdraw the winnings in cryptocurrency, however such an option is not available.

This is the only reason for the delay. Without bank details we cannot proceed, and this step is entirely on the player’s side.

5. AML requirements

The player’s request to deposit in EUR and withdraw in cryptocurrency falls under AML restrictions.

The industry gold standard is straightforward:

withdrawals must be processed to the same payment method used for deposits.

This is a mandatory requirement, not an internal preference.

Conclusion

As the facts clearly show, the issue is not that the casino is refusing to pay the player.

The only cause of delay is that the player has not provided the bank details required for a fiat withdrawal.

On our side, I have:

- reversed the confiscation,

- arranged for the funds to be returned to the player’s account,

- clarified how the player can access the account again,

- and confirmed that the withdrawal will be processed as soon as we receive the necessary banking information.

I do not see any grounds to continue discussing this case within the complaint thread.

Kind regards,

Head of VIP

NewLucky Casino

I have never used the bank at this casino from the start.

I use cryptocurrency and Mifinity.

Even when using fiat currency, deposits and withdrawals are processed using cryptocurrency.

as a Japanese citizen, withdrawals are technically impossible because Japanese banks operate on a fundamentally different system than European banks.

The concepts of IBAN and SWIFT/BIC do not exist.

Therefore, I explained earlier that withdrawals can only be made in cryptocurrency. Is this difficult to understand?

I have sent numerous emails and can provide proof of this.

Since the casino has restricted user access to their accounts, it must comply with the withdrawal method specified by the user.

Dear Head of VIP & Newlucky Casino,

Thank you for your detailed explanation and for your commitment to providing high-quality services and fair resolutions.

We fully understand the requirement to process withdrawals using the same method that was used for the deposit, in accordance with AML policies. However, requesting the player’s bank details - despite the fact that deposits were made via cryptocurrency and the e-wallet MiFinity - appears to contradict this requirement.

Based on AML principles, withdrawals should be processed to the same payment method(s) used for deposits. Moreover, the player is unable to provide an IBAN, as IBANs do not exist in Japan, which he has correctly stated.

Could you please clarify why bank details are being requested in this case, given that the player deposited exclusively through cryptocurrency and an e-wallet?

Thank you for your cooperation.

The casino requires me to use a VPN to access their site and submit withdrawal requests myself.

Why should users have to pay out of pocket to set up a VPN environment when the casino is imposing GEO blocks for their own convenience?

Hello to the player and the community,

Hello to the Casino Guru team,

I would like to clarify our position once again.

The player can initiate a withdrawal via MiFinity, which is a fiat payment method, just like a bank transfer. All deposits made since February 2025 were processed through MiFinity, and therefore the player can withdraw through the same method, fully in line with payment and AML requirements.

The player’s account is open and fully accessible. He can log in and initiate a MiFinity withdrawal at any moment, and we are not placing any limitations on this process. For reasons unknown to us, the player has not done so, despite being informed multiple times that this method is available.

It also seems that the main point of disagreement is the player’s expectation to receive the withdrawal in cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, this option is not available for this account, while MiFinity remains the correct and supported withdrawal method based on the player’s payment history.

We once again invite the player to initiate a MiFinity withdrawal request so that we can process it immediately.

Head of VIP

NewLucky Casino

This casino seems to have forgotten that Japan is geo-blocked.

My internet provider completely blocks VPNs, so I cannot use a VPN.

I stopped using Mifinity while the casino refused to process my withdrawals for months.

Therefore, I wish to withdraw using cryptocurrency.

However, I provide both a Mifinity account and a cryptocurrency account.

Dear Newlucky Casino,

Thank you for your clarification. Unfortunately, since you have implemented geo-blocking for Japan - a decision we fully acknowledge is within your rights - requesting that the player circumvent this restriction in order to request a withdrawal is not a practice we can consider appropriate.

Furthermore, as using a VPN is not a viable option for the player, I would kindly ask whether a manual withdrawal initiated by your side to a MiFinity account (in compliance with AML requirements) would be possible. At this moment, this appears to be the only realistic solution, especially considering that cryptocurrency withdrawals are, as you have noted, unavailable.

Thank you for your cooperation.

While this casino has been refusing withdrawals for several months, I have stopped using Mifinity.

Therefore, I am requesting withdrawal via cryptocurrency.

It is only natural that circumstances change during months of withdrawal refusals, and since the casino is responsible, it should comply accordingly.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hello to the player and the community,

Hello to the Casino Guru team,

Thank you for the additional comments. We would like to clearly and transparently restate the current situation.

The player’s funds are fully available on his gaming account.

The account itself is open and accessible, and the player can log in at any time and initiate a withdrawal via MiFinity, which is a fiat payment method that fully complies with AML requirements.

We confirm once again that all deposits since February 2025 were made via MiFinity, and therefore a withdrawal via MiFinity is both valid and supported. Should the player initiate such a request, it will be processed in the shortest possible timeframe.

At the end of 2025, it is difficult to identify any objective technical obstacles that would prevent the player from initiating a withdrawal through this method. The casino is not blocking or delaying the withdrawal process in any way.

We would also like to note, respectfully, that the fact the player chooses not to use the available and supported withdrawal option cannot be considered grounds for prolonging this complaint. The casino cannot be expected to provide a payment method that is not supported for the account, solely because the player prefers it.

With all due respect to Casino Guru, we sincerely hope that the platform does not become a mechanism through which players attempt to pressure casinos into granting exceptions that are not provided for under the applicable rules and payment policies.

From our perspective, this complaint should be considered resolved:

 • the funds are on the player’s account,

 • the account is open,

 • a valid withdrawal method is available,

 • and the player can initiate the withdrawal at any moment.

The player’s decision not to proceed with the withdrawal cannot reasonably serve as a basis for continuing the complaint.

Kind regards,

Head of VIP

NewLucky Casino

Please stop stalling any longer.

The casino has been refusing withdrawals for over several months, and since Mifinity usage has been suspended, withdrawals must be made using cryptocurrency.

Furthermore, the casino has blocked access, making VPNs unusable, so the casino itself must process the withdrawal directly.

Why can't you understand this simple matter?

Dear Newlucky Casino,

It appears that the fundamental issue in this case has not been fully understood, so I would like to restate it as clearly as possible.

The player is currently unable to access his account because your website is restricted in Japan, as you have confirmed in your previous responses. If the player cannot access the website, it is not possible for him to submit a withdrawal request on his own.

Despite this, access to the platform has been restricted by your decision, requests for a manual withdrawal have been repeatedly ignored, and you continue to state that the funds are accessible and that the matter is resolved. From our perspective, this is not the case. The player’s funds remain locked on a platform that is inaccessible from a location that was permitted at the time the winnings were generated.

To clarify further, we are not acting as a mechanism to pressure casinos into granting exceptions that are not supported by applicable rules or payment policies. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the decision to discontinue services for Japan was made by your casino. While this decision is entirely within your rights, it has directly affected this player, and it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that such changes do not result in negative consequences for existing or former clients.

For this reason, I am asking you once again to clearly confirm whether you are willing to manually process the player’s withdrawal to his MiFinity account.

Please note that, according to industry standards, if a player is unable to submit a withdrawal request due to circumstances such as self-exclusion, account closure, or restricted access, casinos typically proceed with a manual withdrawal or refund. Additionally, forcing or suggesting the use of a VPN is not an acceptable solution.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to your clear response on this matter.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear andandjonnyx,

Unfortunately, the casino has not responded or offered any suitable solution within the given timeframe.

As a result, we have no other option but to close the complaint as unresolved.

Please be assured that if the casino decides to engage and provide an appropriate resolution at any point in the future, we will be ready to reopen the complaint and continue assisting you.

Unfortunately, since the casino is regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) - also referred to as the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) - there is currently no formal process for handling individual player complaints. The CGA has publicly stated that it does not have the authority to mediate disputes or arbitrate between players and operators, and therefore cannot order compensation or provide binding resolutions.

However, the CGA has also acknowledged that player complaints are valuable in identifying potential breaches of licensing obligations.
