Hello, please help me. The casino has blocked my account and confiscated my winnings. I deposited €120 and lost almost all of it. I was about to deposit another €20 but then I won more than I needed and I requested a withdrawal of €350 on April 9th. I wanted to play with the rest and then I got the email. Please ask for proof. How could I have postponed game rounds when I've lost almost everything? Of course you change your stakes when your balance gets smaller and smaller, then you play with smaller stakes and when you win more than you need to bet higher again. This is unfair on the part of the casino. I want my legal winnings or my stake back. Please check and help me.

Thanks

Dear Michi10,

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

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

  • Did you play the same game with and without the bonus balance?
  • Have you completed wagering of the bonus?
  • Could you please share the communication with the casino specifying the allegations against you?
  • 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? 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


I've played various games with bonus money and real money, but since I'm playing querbet games, I don't know exactly. You don't remember things like that.


I lost the bonus money, so it could not be used (high wagering requirements)


I think once 9 Bells and the last 9 coins, I had already lost almost everything (almost 20€, wanted to deposit again) and then came a big win


I had lost the bonus money

Thank you very much, Michi10, for providing the necessary information.

Please note that we consider the postponement of rounds as an activity that grants players an unfair advantage. If it turns out you gained an advantage, we won't be able to help recover your winnings.

I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Kubo (jakub.m@casino.guru), who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

As I said, since I play crossbet, I'm of the opinion that I'm not postponing rounds. If it takes too long, I change the stake, and if I continue playing at some point, it's not unfair. I don't know when I'll win. I can't predict the future, just like you. Thanks for your support.


P.S. And as mentioned at the beginning, the stake must be paid back. I think it's unfair if the casino can always find any reason to withhold winnings, including stakes. Then I'd only be allowed to play one game at a time and never again. However, since you develop favorite games over time, which you can favor, that's unfair to the player.

Dear Kubo and Michi10,


First of all, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. It’s a pleasure to meet you both, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation and assist in resolving it.


According to our records, the player’s account was blocked due to the delaying of game rounds while playing with an active bonus, which is strictly prohibited under our Bonus Terms. After a thorough review of the player’s activity, our Risk Department identified behavior that clearly violates Clause 12 of our Bonus Terms:


12. Delaying any game round in any game, including free spins features and bonus features, to a later time when you have no more wagering requirements and/or performing new deposit(s) while having free spins features or bonus features still available in a game is prohibited. In case of violation of this rule, the administration reserves the right to cancel all winnings.


The player was also informed about Clause 13:


13. The casino has the right to cancel all bonuses and winnings, as well as to confiscate all money from the account if they were received in an unfair way or in violation of the rules.


As a result, the winnings were voided and the account was permanently closed, without the option for reactivation. The player was officially informed of the decision via email on April 14th.



Dear Kubo,


We are happy to provide evidence supporting our conclusion regarding the violation. Could you please provide your email address so we may send the files directly? If you require any further information, clarification, or assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We’re committed to full transparency and a prompt resolution.


Thank you for your cooperation.



Dear Michi10,


We are genuinely sorry that this situation occurred. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we always strive to find the best possible outcome for every player. However, in this case, your gameplay involved actions that directly violated our terms and conditions. As such, we were obligated to act in order to maintain a fair gaming environment for all.


Please understand that this decision is final and cannot be reconsidered. We sincerely thank you for the time you’ve spent with us and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors — both in gaming and beyond.


If you have any additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach out — we’ll be happy to assist you.




Best regards,

Richville Casino Team

Dear Michi10,

Following a comprehensive review of the materials and evidence submitted by the casino, we regret to inform you that we are unable to support your complaint on this occasion.

Our investigation confirms that the casino's claims regarding delays in game rounds are substantiated by multiple recorded instances. While no active bonuses were present at the time of your withdrawal requests, it has been clearly demonstrated that bonus features were accumulated during bonus play and later triggered during real-money gameplay.

This pattern of play indicates a deliberate strategy aimed at exploiting the transition between bonus and real-money modes - an approach widely recognized in the industry as a breach of standard bonus terms and conditions. Most casinos prohibit this practice due to its potential to create an unfair advantage over the game mechanics.


In light of these findings, we must consider the complaint rejected and proceed with closing it as unjustified.


We strongly advise that in future gameplay, you carefully review and adhere to all promotional terms and conditions to avoid similar misunderstandings or violations.

While we understand this is not the outcome you had hoped for, please know that you are welcome to reach out to our Complaint Resolution Center should you face any further issues with this or any other casino.


Thank you for your understanding.


Best Regards,

Kubo
