I am writing to report that Playbet.io has been withholding my withdrawal of approximately 0.4 BTC for over six weeks, citing an alleged "glitch" in my gameplay — without providing any evidence, formal decision, or legal basis.

Timeline of events:

I won approximately 0.4 BTC playing on Playbet.io. When I attempted to withdraw my funds, the casino informed me that my gameplay is under review by the "game provider" due to a supposed technical malfunction ("glitch"). Since then, I have received no meaningful update despite repeated contact with their support team.

What I have and have not received:

I have NOT received:

Any formal written decision regarding my withdrawal

Any identification of the specific game rounds allegedly affected

Any evidence of the supposed malfunction

Any citation of the specific Terms & Conditions clause justifying the withholding

Any estimated timeframe for resolution

The only response I have received, after sending a detailed formal letter, was: "The necessary checks are currently underway. We will contact you once they are completed."

My position:

All gameplay was conducted in good faith through the Playbet.io platform, using games made available and accepted by their system at the time of play. If there is a technical issue involving a third-party game provider, that is a contractual matter between Playbet.io and their provider — it does not justify indefinitely withholding a customer's funds without due process or transparency.

I have been given no timeline, no evidence, and no formal decision for over six weeks. This constitutes an unreasonable and potentially unjustifiable delay.

What I am requesting:

Full release of my withdrawal of ~0.4 BTC; OR

A formal written decision with specific contractual and factual grounds for any refusal, including identification of the affected game sessions and evidence of the alleged malfunction.

I have already contacted the casino's compliance team formally in writing. I am now submitting this complaint to Casino.guru as the next step in seeking resolution.

Account details:

Username: M. M.

Approximate date of winning: 17/04/2026

Withdrawal amount: ~0.4 BTC

Date withdrawal was requested: 18/04/2026

Casino response received: "The necessary checks are currently underway."

Hello MustafaMohammed,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Please forward me all the communication between you and the casino customer support regarding the glitch at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Also, kindly specify the Amatic games you played at this casino between April 17 and 18, because on 17–18 April 2026, several Amatic slots experienced a technical malfunction, which resulted in unusually high winnings for a number of players. This issue was confirmed by the game provider itself, and we have also received this confirmation directly. In addition, there are multiple publicly available reports online regarding this incident. Therefore, unfortunately, the winnings credited to your account were not valid. I hope this helps clarify the situation.

Subject: Re: Playbet.io complaint – response to your message


Dear Veronika,


Thank you for your message. I appreciate the update, but I must respectfully raise several concerns before accepting the casino's position.


1. I am unable to verify which games I played on 17–18 April


Playbet.io's platform only displays the last 100 spins, with no option to filter by date or export full game history. I therefore have no way to independently verify which specific games or rounds are being attributed to the alleged malfunction. I would ask that the casino provide a full export of my game history for 17–18 April, including game names, providers, stakes, and outcomes — this is my data and I am entitled to it.


2. I played games from multiple providers — not only Amatic


As I previously stated, I played games from Amatic, BGaming, Play'n'Go, and Pragmatic Play. If the alleged technical malfunction affected only certain Amatic games, I would like to know:

- Which specific game rounds are being disputed?

- What portion of my total balance is attributed to those rounds?

- Why has my entire withdrawal been frozen, rather than only the amount directly linked to the allegedly affected rounds?


Withholding my full balance without isolating the disputed amount is disproportionate and, in my view, unjustifiable.


3. My own deposited funds must be returned regardless


Part of the balance I am seeking to withdraw consists of my own deposits. Even if a technical malfunction occurred, the casino has no legal or contractual basis to retain funds I deposited myself. I request that my deposits be returned immediately and unconditionally.


4. I require evidence, not assertions


With respect, a statement that a malfunction occurred — even from Casino.guru — is not sufficient evidence for me to waive my right to withdraw funds. I formally request:

- The official incident report or notification from Amatic confirming the malfunction on 17–18 April 2026

- The specific game rounds from my account that are identified as affected

- The clause in Playbet.io's Terms & Conditions that permits withholding winnings in the event of a third-party provider malfunction

- Any publicly available reports you mentioned — I have not been able to find these independently


I remain willing to cooperate fully and provide any documentation within my power. However, I am not in a position to accept the cancellation of my withdrawal based on unsubstantiated claims.


Thank you for your continued assistance in this matter.


Best regards,

Mohammed M.
