Case closed

Safety Index 4.8 Low

Case summary

The player from Finland complained about his account being unfairly closed by Ninlay Casino, along with the confiscation of his deposits and winnings without justification. He highlighted a lack of specific evidence regarding any rule violations, claimed that he was also banned from sister casinos without review, and demanded the reopening of his account or a full refund of his deposits. We asked the casino for evidence, but it was not provided and the case was eventually settled when the casino agreed to return the remaining €750 after two earlier withdrawals of €500 each had already been sent. The player confirmed receipt of the funds, and the complaint was marked as resolved.

Hello CasinoGuru team,

I am opening this complaint against Ninlay Casino (and its sister casinos) for unfairly closing my account and confiscating both my deposits and winnings without any valid explanation or justification.

I registered an account, deposited money, and did not engage in any unfair gameplay or violate any terms. Suddenly, my account was blocked. When I reached out to their support, I received a generic template email (refer to image.png and image_2.png) listing a broad selection of prohibited activities under paragraph 9.1, such as fraud, cheating, and unfair betting patterns. However, the casino completely failed to specify which of these rules I supposedly breached. They provided absolutely no evidence.

Furthermore, I discovered that I was simultaneously banned from several of their sister casinos operating under the same management, meaning they are using a shared blacklist to block me across their network without any individual review.

Even more alarmingly, while the casino's own Term 9.4 states that they reserve the right to "refund the last deposit made into the account" in case of suspicious activity, they concluded their email by stating that "there is no refund available for your account." This means they have not only confiscated my winnings but are also wrongfully withholding my original deposits.

I have done nothing wrong, I have not cheated, and I demand either the full reopening of my account with my funds intact, or at the very least, a complete refund of all the money I deposited into their casino network.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Best regards,

Maxim P.

hi,


The interesting thing is that I never received any response from them regarding my account. I tried one day log in back to check my withdrawal, but Ijust kept getting error while logging in

Thank you for the screenshots. Since you mentioned playing at Ninlay Casino's sister sites, could you please clarify whether you activated a welcome bonus at each of them? If so, did you play the same games with the welcome bonus at all of these casinos?

I initially played on a few similar-looking sites without realizing they were connected, and it was only when I couldn't withdraw my funds and noticed multiple accounts getting locked that I investigated and discovered they were run by the exact same operator. To answer your question about the games, I mostly played various slots, and it is definitely possible that I ended up playing the same game across those different casinos simply because I had won on it previously and wanted to try my luck again.

Hello Ninlay Casino representative,

I strongly dispute your claim of breaking the rules. I have played at your casino in a completely normal, entertainment-oriented manner and have not used any of the unfair betting patterns or strategies mentioned in section 9.1 of your terms and conditions. The fact that I have played and managed to win does not make my playing illegal.

At the end of your post, you make a specific accusation against me: you claim that I "abused progressive slots/delayed spins." This claim is completely unfounded, and seems like a made-up excuse to deny me my honestly earned winnings.

You yourself are citing section 9.4 of your terms and conditions, which requires "good cause" for account closure and forfeiture of winnings. Simply making a broad accusation and copying the rules into a message is not good cause. Since you are making such a serious allegation of fraudulent activity, the burden of proof is on you.

In order for this matter to be resolved fairly with Casino Guru acting as an intermediary, I require you to provide clear evidence to support your claims:

Detailed game logs: What progressive games have I allegedly "abused"?

Timestamps: On what dates and times has this alleged "delaying of rounds" occurred?

Concrete evidence: How does this alleged rule violation appear in my gaming history?

I expect a detailed and factual explanation from you. As long as you cannot provide indisputable evidence that I manipulated the games, it is just an attempt by you to avoid paying out my legitimate winnings. I demand that my winnings be returned and my withdrawal be processed immediately.

Kind regards,

Maxim

Hello,

I do not accept this decision or the refund of just the deposit (€175.00).

​I have acted in full accordance with the casino's terms and conditions and have fully completed the bonus wagering requirements. Simply citing "security reasons" without concrete evidence or justification for a rule violation is not an acceptable reason to confiscate legitimately earned winnings.

​Since I have not broken any rules, I demand the full payment of my winnings and account balance. If the casino claims that I have broken the rules, I ask that you present the evidence directly to the CasinoGuru complaint handler for an impartial assessment of the matter.

Kind regards,


Maxim

Dear Ninlay Casino,

Your latest response is quite surprising.

While I acknowledge that casino operators may generally reserve the right to close player accounts at their discretion, this does not, in itself, justify withholding or confiscating the player's winnings.

At this stage, your actions appear unfair, as the specific grounds for withholding the winnings have not been adequately substantiated. Confiscating the winnings while returning only the player's deposits is a significant measure and, in our view, requires clear and verifiable evidence of a breach of the applicable Terms and Conditions.

Unless you can provide sufficient evidence demonstrating the alleged rule violation or another legitimate basis for withholding the winnings, we have no reasonable grounds to support the confiscation. On the contrary, we have to support the player in receiving the winnings in full.

I therefore respectfully ask you to provide clear and verifiable evidence supporting the confiscation or, in the absence of such evidence, to proceed with the full payment of the player's winnings.

Dear Ninlay Casino,

Thank you for your latest response, although it does not address the core issue at hand.

We have been awaiting the evidence supporting your decision to confiscate the player's winnings for several days now. Your previous explanation – citing "security reasons" – does not constitute sufficient justification for withholding funds, especially given that the player appears to have fulfilled all wagering requirements.

I would like to remind you that we are not asking for evidence to be made public; I'm requesting it to be shared with me privately at michal.k@casino.guru for the purpose of an independent and objective review. This is standard practice and ensures a fair assessment for both parties.

At this stage, further delays and generic responses are becoming difficult to interpret as good faith cooperation. Unless you provide clear and verifiable evidence supporting the confiscation within the next few days, I will have no reasonable grounds to support your position and will proceed with closing the case as Unresolved.

I trust you will prioritize this matter and look forward to your substantive response.

Hello,


Thanks for your help, the money has arrived in the account.


I have similar cases to this one with Nilay. Apparently they are all sister stories. Should I file a separate complaint for each one?

Dear Masathewose,

That is great news. I am glad to hear that you have received the funds.

If you are experiencing a similar issue with another casino, as you mentioned, I recommend submitting a separate complaint against that particular casino, and we will try to help.

Even when several casinos belong to the same larger group, they may be managed by different teams and operate on separate systems. Consequently, the team responsible for one casino may not have access to the account information or data held by another.

As the funds relating to this complaint have now been received, could you please confirm whether I may proceed with closing this case as Resolved?
