SawSpin Casino - Player's withdrawal has been confiscated.

Unresolved
Our verdict

Insufficient evidence from casino

Black points: 36,541

Amount: A$51,120

SawSpin Casino
Safety Index 0.0 Very low

Case summary

The player from Australia had won a royal jackpot, but when he attempted to withdraw his winnings of 51,120.06, the casino refused the request, citing suspicious betting, and later changed its reasons multiple times, including claims of fraudulent betting and an unreceived deposit. He had spent two months contesting the issue. He had already completed verification by submitting his ID, a selfie with his ID, and a bank statement, and he had made a previous successful withdrawal. We contacted the casino, but it did not cooperate or provide evidence to support the confiscation of his balance. As a result, we closed the complaint as unresolved because the casino failed to give a clear, consistent explanation or the records needed to assess the case.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

  • Have you made any successful withdrawals from this casino before?
  • Have you completed the full KYC verification, or at least submitted any identity documents to the casino for verification?
  • How many deposits have you made to the casino so far? Have any of your deposits failed to be credited to your casino account or not been deducted from your bank account?
  • Have you noticed any irregularities, bugs, or glitches during gameplay when you won the jackpot?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Hi thanks for your quick response. i have made a successful withdrawal from them before and they do not have a kyc option but to cover all bases I sent in a selfie while holding my government issued ID card and sent in a seperate photo the ID card I was holding in the selfie. Along with a recent bank account statement that had my name address and bank account details. I've made so far in deposits I've made 257 dollars with only withdrawing once which was a bonus I won when first signing up. And no none of my deposits have failed or been returned you can see this on my history page. Also no glitches in the game play, it was just like every other online casino and when I won It I didn't even know nor was I doing a high Bett i first won 1200 then up my bett to 5 dollars a spin and that's when I got the bonus feature and filled the screen with the balls you have to collect. Please help me resolve this with my withdrawal being paid as I have been playing online pokies for over 15 years and this is my first major win and very first jackpot win so it will destroy what faith I have in online gambling if I can't get this I've spent almost a million dollars over that time of 15 years so I definitely deserve this

Hello Ogeeonetommy,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I will try to contact a casino representative outside of this thread.


Sadly, I also need to disclose, that this particular casino operates under multiple fake licenses and I believe a successful resolution is very unlikely. Nevertheless, I will now try to get in contact with the casino. If there happen to be any developments, please keep me informed.


Best regards

Martin

Dear Ogeeonetommy,


I am truly sorry to confirm that, although the casino acknowledged our request, it has not shown any willingness to cooperate with the complaint resolution process or provide the evidence necessary to justify the confiscation of your balance.


The casino reportedly gave you several different explanations for its decision, including suspicious betting, fraudulent activity, and an allegedly unreceived deposit. However, without supporting records or a clear and consistent explanation from the casino, we are unable to independently assess whether any of these allegations are legitimate.


Unfortunately, meaningful mediation requires cooperation from the player, the casino, and the mediator. As the casino has declined to participate, we have no reasonable way to investigate the matter further and must close this complaint as unresolved.


I am sorry that we could not help you recover your winnings. The unresolved outcome will negatively affect the casino’s rating, and your experience will remain publicly available as a warning to other players.


The casino may request that the complaint be reopened at any time if it decides to provide the relevant evidence and properly address the case.

Best regards,

Martin
