Case summary

The player from Portugal had their account at NineCasino closed without warning, resulting in the confiscation of their funds. Despite providing personal banking details for withdrawal, the casino never provided proof for this action and cited their "terms and conditions" as justification for the permanent closure, leaving no right to appeal. The Complaints Team found that the casino substantiated claims of the player accessing the platform via VPN to bypass regional restrictions, which constituted a breach of the Terms and Conditions. As a result, the complaint was deemed unjustified and closed.

Account closed and funds confiscated without proof — NineCasino refused refund after sending IBAN


Hello, I am submitting this complaint because my account at NineCasino was closed without warning and all my funds were confiscated. I provided personal banking details (IBAN and full account number) for withdrawal, and instead of receiving my money, I was notified that my account was permanently closed and my balance was seized.

No technical proof was ever provided — no screenshots, VPN logs, fake IP evidence or location mismatches. They only cited "terms and conditions" and said the decision is "final" with no right to appeal.

This is extremely disrespectful and may constitute a misuse of personal banking data. I request a full refund of my balance and expect this to be investigated urgently.

All email exchanges and screenshots are available. I hope Casino.Guru will help resolve this case, as NineCasino is refusing to cooperate.

Hello, Veronika. Thank you for your reply. I've answered all the questions below to help you analyze my complaint:


- I did not use a VPN, proxy or any kind of IP masking when accessing or registering on the NineCasino platform. I created and logged into my account normally, directly from Portugal, without any attempt to hide my location.

- I submitted all correct and complete personal information during registration, including my real name, country of residence (Portugal), proof of identity, proof of address and even my Portuguese IBAN.

- I didn't receive any warning or alert from the casino that Portugal would be a restricted country, neither at the time of registration, nor while browsing or using the platform. Had I known this, I would never have made a deposit.

- I successfully completed the entire KYC verification process requested by the casino. I sent photos of my documents and all the data was accepted by the platform without any objection.

- My account was closed just as I tried to make my first withdrawal, after I had already made several deposits and played a lot on the platform. As soon as I had my first significant win and requested a withdrawal, the account was closed immediately and the balance was confiscated. In other words, the casino waited for me to invest, make a loss and, at the first profit, blocked everything without warning.


I reiterate that at no time was I informed of any irregularities in the account. I was in good faith throughout the whole process, I used my real details and I only expected to receive back what is rightfully mine. Thank you for your help and I await instructions on the next steps.


Sincerely,

[name hidden by Casino Guru]

Dear NineCasino,

Thank you for your thorough review and for providing all the requested data.


Dear davidahorapereira77,

In our view, the use of a VPN or proxy does not automatically constitute a violation warranting balance confiscation, unless it provides the player with a direct unfair advantage. However, in this case, the casino has substantiated that you did indeed access the platform via VPN, and furthermore, that you used it to bypass the casino’s restrictions to access a game unavailable in your region. This constitutes a direct breach of the casino’s Terms & Conditions, and we cannot support such conduct.


For this reason, I must consider your complaint unjustified and close it accordingly.


For future reference, I strongly advise against using a VPN to change your apparent location, or at the very least, confirm that the specific game is permitted in the region of the VPN server before playing.


Thank you for your understanding. I’m sorry I couldn’t deliver a more favorable outcome in this case. Should you experience any other issues with this or another casino in the future, please feel free to contact our Complaint Resolution Center - we are always here to assist you.


Best Regards,

Kubo
