Case summary

The player from Portugal filed a formal complaint against Reels.io for the unjust confiscation of his €7,000 winnings, citing the deactivation of a temporary email he had used for account registration. Despite providing his National ID and completing biometric verification, the casino closed his account, claiming that the inability to verify the email forfeited his winnings. He sought mediation to update his contact information and retrieve his funds. The complaint was declined by the Complaints Team after the casino revealed multiple rule violations by the player, including the use of multiple accounts, and found that the player had lacked cooperation with the casino.

I am filing this formal complaint against Reels.io regarding the unjust confiscation of my 7,000€ winnings.


I registered my account using a temporary email address for privacy reasons, a choice influenced by the casino’s own marketing of a 'No-KYC' environment. When I reached a high balance and attempted to withdraw, I realized the temporary email had been deactivated.


I immediately contacted support to resolve this and offered full cooperation to prove my identity. It is crucial to note that I have already provided Reels.io with my official National ID card and completed a facial/biometric verification through their platform. My legal identity matches the account owner's profile perfectly.

However, the casino (agents 'Yana' and 'Gregory') has closed my account and declared their decision 'final', stating that because I cannot verify the deactivated registration email, my 7,000€ balance is forfeited.


This is a predatory and abusive practice. A technicality regarding an email provider should never be grounds for confiscating legitimate funds, especially when the casino already holds my official identification documents and biometric data. I am a verified, legitimate player, and I am being denied my funds in bad faith. I request the mediation of CasinoGuru to allow me to update my contact information and withdraw my balance.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Reels.io

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Have you filled out your player's profile with accurate personal information?
  • Were you able to submit any documents to prove your identity and payment information to the casino's KYC department?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports)
  • Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus?
  • Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Make sure the information about the sender and recipient is included. Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Hello Tomas!


Thank you for taking my case. Here are the answers to your questions:


1. Personal Information: Yes, my player profile was filled with my correct personal details (Full Name and Date of Birth), matching my official ID.


2. KYC Documents: Before the account was frozen, I had already completed the facial/biometric verification and uploaded my National ID card through the casino's platform. After the email issue arose, I explicitly offered to resubmit all documents via email for manual verification, but the casino's administration refused to review them, stating their decision was 'final'.


3. Games played: I accumulated my balance mainly playing Sweet Bonanza 1000.


4. Bonus: No, I reached my current balance using my own deposited funds (Real Money). No active bonus was involved in these winnings.


5. Communication: I will immediately forward the email transcripts from the support agents (Gregory and Yana) to your email (tomas@casino.guru).


I am acting in total good faith and I am ready to provide any additional proof of identity you or the casino might require to resolve this and recover my 7,000€ balance.


Best regards,

Samuel

Thank you, Reels Casino, for providing the information.

Dear User,

After carefully reviewing the details provided by the casino, we regret to inform you that we must decline your complaint. It has come to our attention that there has been a lack of cooperation on your part with the casino, along with the revelation that multiple rule violations have occurred, particularly regarding the prohibition of multiple accounts.

Please understand that when such violations are identified, it is difficult for us to support our users, as these actions are typically not permitted in most online casinos.

Thank you for your understanding.

Respectfully,

Romi
