Case summary

The player from Germany reported that the casino had collected funds from her account despite the deposits being from third parties and not verified, which she considered illegal. The Complaints Team clarified that the casino's policies required players to use payment methods that belonged to them, and since she had breached these terms, they were unable to assist further. It was noted that the casino had a valid license that had since expired, and the investigation into its current licensing status was ongoing. Consequently, the complaint was closed as no further action could be taken.

Dear Ramona1987, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I have checked the terms and conditions, and this is what I found:

You may only use your own personal credit/debit card or another payment method to fund your account. The name appearing on the credit cards, or registered on the payment accounts used for deposits or payouts must correspond to the name registered on your account.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-players

"For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations." 

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during the account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only. 

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you. 

Thank you very much in advance for your reply and understanding. 

Best regards, 

Veronika

The casino can certainly check the deposits. I had another problem in December and the commission decided in that case that the casino was obliged to refund the money.

It is important to understand that, as per the casino's policies, it is your responsibility to ensure that all deposits are made using payment methods that belong to you. The casino does not verify the ownership of the payment method until a withdrawal request is made, at which point the player is required to complete the full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process.

Given that you have used payment methods that do not belong to you for your deposits, unfortunately, we are unable to assist you with this matter further.

Please let me know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

The casino is not allowed to keep money that does not legally belong to it. You cannot even contact an inspection authority for this casino because they do not have a license. I cannot understand why you still support such black sheep!

Dear Ramona1987,

Thank you for your response.

I understand your frustration, and I want to clarify that we, at Casino Guru, are committed to advocating for fair practices and responsible gaming. However, we also have to follow the established policies of the casinos we work with. In this case, it is clear that using payment methods not belonging to you violates the casino’s terms, which is why we are unable to assist you in this matter further.

As for the casino's licensing status, the casino had a valid Curacao CIL license that expired on January 31. Currently, we are investigating if they have a new license issued by another licensing authority.

I apologize, but for the reasons I outlined in my previous responses, this complaint will now be closed. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Best regards

Veronika
