Case summary

The player from Sweden wished to file a complaint against RichardCasino after their account was closed immediately following a €1,145 win, with no prior warning or explanation. Despite multiple inquiries, the casino had not provided a clear reason for the closure or allowed the player to access the account to respond to any potential allegations. We later requested clarification and supporting evidence from the casino, and the case remained open while the verification and payout process was completed. In the end, the player confirmed that the issue had been resolved, so the complaint was marked as resolved.

I would like to file a complaint against RicharCasino regarding the closure of my account and the withholding of my winnings.

I deposited €50 into my account and started playing. Shortly after, I won €1,145. Immediately after my win, my account was closed by the casino without any prior warning or explanation.

I contacted customer support multiple times to ask why my account had been closed. However, the casino has refused to provide any specific reason for their decision. They only state that they are a licensed and trustworthy casino, but their actions do not reflect transparency or fair treatment of players.

My concerns are as follows:

My account was closed immediately after I won a significant amount relative to my deposit.

The casino has failed to provide a clear explanation for the account closure.

I have not been given access to my account or a proper opportunity to respond to any allegations, if any exist.

The lack of transparency raises serious concerns about fair gaming practices.

I respectfully request that Casino Guru investigate this matter and ask RicharCasino to provide a clear reason for the account closure and to process my legitimate winnings if no proven violation of the casino’s terms and conditions has occurred.

I am willing to provide screenshots, transaction records, email correspondence, and any other evidence required to support my complaint.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Could you please advise which games you focused on - slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • Did you pass the verification before you lost access to the account?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?

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.

Best regards,

Attila

Hello and thank you for taking your time.


It all started when I opened an account. My intention was to play using the welcome bonus, but I never received it. I contacted live chat to ask why, and I was informed that players from Sweden are not eligible for the welcome bonus.

I accepted that explanation and started playing Amatic Wild Shark instead. I played for about 30 minutes, and when my balance had dropped to my last €2.90, I hit a win of €1,145.

Only after I won €1,145 was my account suddenly closed. It was not closed before my win.



For a casino with such high trust scores on Casino Guru, this is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. A reputable casino should always be transparent with its customers, especially when closing an account immediately after a significant win. Refusing to provide any explanation creates the impression that legitimate winning players are being treated unfairly.

I expect a clear explanation as to why my account was closed immediately after my win. Simply repeating that the decision is final is not an acceptable way to treat customers.

I have not been verified and I have not played with any bonus. I have not attempted to profit in any unfair or improper way. I simply registered an account, verified my email, deposited money, and communicated with support. I was informed that I would not receive any bonuses, which I accepted without issue.

I was then allowed to play slots normally until I won. However, only after I won did they close my account.

Hello everyone,

thank you for the update.

Dear Richard Casino,

thank you for your email and for providing additional information regarding this case. I have reviewed the materials you submitted.

At this stage, I have requested further clarification and supporting evidence from the casino via email so that I can independently assess the circumstances surrounding the account closure and confiscation of funds.

Dear Gez85,

I wanted to inform you that the casino has now provided its position on the case, and I have requested additional details before I can reach a final conclusion. Once I receive and review the requested information, I will return with another update.

Thank you both for your cooperation and patience.

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for your response.

I am genuinely looking forward to hearing the reason why Richard Casino accepted me as a customer, allowed me to deposit funds, let me play until I won, and then suddenly closed my account, refused to pay out my winnings, and stopped all communication with me.

What makes this even more surprising is that they reached this decision without even giving me the opportunity to verify my identity.

From my perspective, this is extremely unfair and raises serious concerns about how they treat their customers. If there was a legitimate issue, it should have been identified before accepting my deposits and allowing me to play—not only after I had won.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this matter. I appreciate your efforts and hope you can help resolve this situation fairly.

I would also like to clarify that the amount in dispute is €1,145, not 1,145 SEK. This is a significant difference, and I would appreciate it if the correct amount could be reflected in the case.

Hello everyone,

Dear Gez85,

thank you for the clarification regarding the disputed amount. I have updated the complaint details accordingly and will continue with the correct amount of €1,145.

I understand your concerns regarding the situation and the timing of the account closure. I am currently waiting for the additional clarification and evidence requested from Richard Casino so I can properly assess their position.

I will provide another update once I have received and reviewed the requested information.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Hello,

Thank you for your continued handling of this case.

I hope that if Richard Casino provides any reasons or evidence regarding the closure of my account, I will be given the opportunity to review and respond to their claims.

I would like to clarify that I have never used any bonuses when playing at Richard Casino. I played with my own deposited funds and I have always acted as a normal customer following the casino’s rules.

If Richard Casino believes that I have violated any terms, I kindly ask for a clear explanation of which specific rule they believe was violated and the evidence supporting their decision.

I believe that transparency and fairness are very important in cases like this. Closing an account after winnings without a clear explanation can damage the trust between players and casinos.

Thank you for ensuring that both sides have a fair opportunity to present their information.

Hello everyone,

Just as Richard Casino mentioned, I have now received an email with instructions on how to verify my account. Of course, I will gladly complete the verification process, and at this moment it truly looks like this story may have a happy ending.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Casino Guru for this fantastic service and for giving players a platform where issues can be reviewed fairly. I would also like to thank Richard Casino for giving this case another chance and for taking the time to properly look into everything.

I have to admit that the way this was handled in the beginning was stressful and, at times, felt quite humiliating. However, the casino has now really shown why it has received such high ratings here on Casino Guru. This proves that these ratings have real value and are not just numbers.

I would like to keep this complaint open until everything is fully completed and the "boat has safely reached the harbour".

I wish everyone involved, and everyone who has followed this case, a wonderful and enjoyable summer.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this possible.

Just an update. RichardCasino still has not paid out the money. I receive one question per day that I need to answer.

For example, they ask me to provide my bank details, such as SWIFT code and account number. I provide the information, and the next day they ask for my IBAN number instead of asking for all the required information at once.

The same thing happened with the document verification process. However, I still have hope that this will be resolved, but the process is moving extremely slowly.

I'm pleased to see that the communication between you and the casino is ongoing and that the verification process appears to be moving forward. For the time being, I believe it is best to let you and the casino complete this process directly.

Should you encounter any further difficulties, unnecessary delays, or if the verification or withdrawal process comes to a standstill, please let me know here and I will be happy to step in again.
