Case summary

The player from Alberta reported that Optimbet had unjustly confiscated their winnings, claiming a breach of terms due to having a duplicate account, incorrect registration information, or shared IP usage. The player asserted they only had one account, provided accurate information, and submitted all necessary documents to verify their identity. The complaint was marked as unresolved due to lack of cooperation from the casino, which failed to respond to requests for evidence or clarification. The player was advised to escalate the matter to the Curaçao Alternative Dispute Resolution Entity (CADRE) as per the casino’s terms and conditions. The case remained open for reopening if the casino decided to engage in the future.

Optimbet unfairly confiscated my winnings stating that I broke their terms. The term I "broke" according to them is that I have a duplicate account, or I used incorrect information when registering or sb us using the same IP on the site as me. Neither of this is true, I only have one account I made, I live alone so nobody at my household can have another account on site, all information I provided when registering was correct and I provided all documents including a selfie to prove it was me. They refuse to pay out my win, please help me figure out what to do here. I did nothing wrong

Hello annnhhttrr65,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter and to see if I can help somehow.

We would like to invite OptimBet Casino to join the conversation.



Dear OptimBet Casino,

Kindly provide me with any evidence supporting the alleged violations of your terms and conditions, of which the player is being accused. You can send the information and evidence directly to me at michal.k@casino.guru for an independent assessment.

Thank you in advance.

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 annnhhttrr65,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but have had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. 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 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.

In the meantime, as outlined in section Complaints and Dispute Resolution, of the casino's Terms and Conditions, I recommend that you submit your complaint to CADRE (Curaçao Alternative Dispute Resolution Entity) https://cadre.online/ as this seems to be a designated ADR body for OptimBet Casino.

You may also find our article, How to submit a complaint to a regulator | Casino Guru, helpful when preparing your submission.

As CADRE cooperates with the relevant gaming authority, it may have additional options and powers to assist you in resolving this matter.

Should you decide to pursue this route, I would appreciate it if you could let me know the outcome of your complaint and whether CADRE was able to assist you. You can reach me at michal.k@casino.guru.

I am sorry that we were unable to provide a more favourable resolution in this case.


Best regards,

Michal
