Our verdict

No reaction

Black points: 182

Amount: €550

ShakeBet Casino
Safety Index 2.5 Very low

Case summary

The player from the Netherlands was facing a withdrawal issue after wagering a deposit bonus, with winnings amounting to €550. The casino confiscated the winnings, claiming that the player's bonus ratio was too high, which the player considered unfair since they had followed all applicable bonus terms. The casino stated that its decision was final. We asked the casino to explain the confiscation and extended the deadline, but ShakeBet Casino did not respond. As a result, we closed the complaint as unresolved because we could not verify the casino's claim without its cooperation.

I took a deposit bonus and managed to wager all and wanted withdraw 550euro. Did not breach any bonus terms. They took my winnings with the reason my bonus ratio is too high and therefore its promotional abuse. Why offer me a bonus in the first place then? So if i lost they would offer me another bonus next week until i win, then its promotional abuse. Thats just unfair and scam. But they say decision is final. Can you help me casinoguru.

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.

  • Has the casino specified that your winnings were confiscated because your bonus-to-deposit ratio was too high? If you have any confirmation of this statement, please forward it to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.
  • Could you please send me a link to or a screenshot of the deposit bonus you activated and played with to accumulate your €550 winnings?
  • Could you also send me a screenshot of the bonus history from your casino account?
  • Is there any possibility that someone in your household, or someone using the same IP address, also created an account at this casino?

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

Hello Ace1202,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Ace1202,

Unfortunately, ShakeBet Casino has not responded to our invitation to participate in the complaint or provided any explanation regarding the confiscation of your winnings, despite the additional 7-day period we provided.

Without the casino's cooperation, I am unable to obtain the necessary information or evidence to properly assess what happened or take the case any further from our side. I will therefore now close this complaint as Unresolved.

Since ShakeBet Casino operates under an Anjouan Gaming licence, you can consider submitting a complaint directly to the relevant licensing authority. You can find more information about the licence and the relevant authority here:

https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/comoros-license

You can also find our guide explaining how to submit a complaint to a gambling regulator here:

https://casino.guru/guide/submitting-complaints-to-regulators

I recommend including all relevant information and evidence when submitting your complaint, including your account details, the disputed winnings, correspondence with the casino, and any screenshots or documents related to the confiscation.

Unfortunately, there is nothing further I can do from our side without the casino's cooperation. I am sorry that we were unable to resolve this matter for you, and I hope that the licensing authority will be able to assist you further.

Please also note that the Unresolved outcome may negatively affect the casino's Safety Index rating, which may encourage the casino to reconsider its approach and address the complaint at a later stage. If ShakeBet Casino decides to cooperate in the future, the complaint may potentially be reopened.

Best regards,

Samuel
