PirateSpins Casino - Player’s winnings are being confiscated.

Closed
Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: £3,105

PirateSpins Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom had won £3105, but the casino claimed she had made a £10 bet using bonus funds, which she denied. Despite her request for evidence, the casino refused to provide it and planned to credit her account with only her last deposit of £30 instead of processing her winnings. The Complaints Team was unable to proceed with the investigation due to a lack of response from the player to their inquiries and reminders, resulting in the closure of the complaint. The player retained the option to reopen the complaint in the future if she chose to resume communication.

Dear player, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience at PirateSpins Casino.

I have checked the terms and conditions of the casino and have found the following rule:

13. Players are allowed to place single bets lower than 20% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 8 EUR, 8 USD, 8 AUD, 8 CAD, 8 NZD, 32 PLN, 80 SEK, 80 NOK (as applicable). Therefore, placing a bet of 8 EUR while there's an Active Bonus of 100 EUR in effect is considered acceptable practice. VIP players are allowed to place single bets lower than 30% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 15 EUR, 15 USD, 15 AUD, 15 CAD, 15 NZD, 60 PLN, 150 SEK, 150 NOK (as applicable). Please note that your VIP level is defined by the casino's own discretion.

Our position is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex: The max bet rule is, in fact, an industry standard, just as the fact that a casino has the right to seize the player's winnings from bonus play after breaking this rule. We prefer not to go against industry standards by penalizing casinos that use the maximum bet rule against players from time to time. 

Can you please specify if you have any VIP level at the casino? What was your deposit amount and the value of the bonus? If you feel like you have been accused mistakenly, feel free to forward me your game history together with a link to the specific bonus that you redeemed and played. My email address is natalia.b@casino.guru

If there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please send it as well. 

Thank you in advance for your reply. 

Best regards, 

Natalia

Good morning Natalia,


apologies your reply notification went to spam.


I have requested full gameplay history in pdf format as screenshots only show 5 transactions and there is lot to go through. And I need to total up spend where they claim wrong doing. However the casino has not responded to my request.


I know that there are rules and I try adhere closely to them. The bonus amount was 50% of deposit. £30 deposit so £15 bonus.


I remember checking my balance status and bonus cash said 0 and all monies were showing in cash balance. I have taken some screenshots and when I get chance later I will email them adding an explanation for each.

I have forwarded the email exchange from today they were refusing to send stating they only have 7 days which I know is untrue as last week I could see right back to June. I have made a DSAR request with them although I don’t hold much hope.

Casino continue to refuse to provide information requested. Say they can’t access it which contradicts their own t&c’s and privacy policy!!


I have managed to take screenshots and a recording. I will try and make it make sense and get it over to you
