I am filing this complaint against Snatch Casino, operated by Goodwin N.V. (Curaçao, License OGL/2024/758/0228), regarding the refused withdrawal of my account balance of USD 1,809,776.20 and serious violations of responsible gambling obligations.
THE PROBLEM IN SHORT
1. The casino repeatedly ignored my written self-exclusion requests (November 2024, January 2025), sending bonus offers instead of closing my account.
2. When my balance reached USD 1,809,776.20 in October 2025, the casino restricted withdrawals to USD 1,000/day, did not respond to any of my emails or manager requests for over a week, and allowed me to lose the entire balance without any intervention.
3. My licensed Curaçao attorney (LMS Advocaten / R. Bijkerk) sent a formal demand letter on 16 January 2026. The casino has not responded in over 5 months.
4. On 12 June 2026, my attorney formally asked the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) to consider withdrawing Goodwin N.V.’s license for failure to honor a valid player claim under the LOK.
FULL TIMELINE
16.10.2024 – Account opened at Snatch Casino.
09.11.2024 – I tried to withdraw but could not because my account was not verified. The KYC upload function did not work. I emailed the casino but received no response. I lost the funds I wanted to withdraw.
10.11.2024 – I emailed requesting self-exclusion for 1 year and account deletion, explicitly stating I could not control my gambling. The casino responded with an offer of 100 free spins.
14.01.2025 – I again requested closure: "Ich habe die Kontrolle über mein Spiel verloren und bitte um die Schließung meines Kontos." The VIP Manager offered a €1,000 bonus instead of closing my account.
14.01.2025 – I declined: "Danke für den Vorschlag. Aber nein, ich möchte das Konto schließen, da ich nicht verantwortlich spielen kann." Account was still not closed.
18–19.01.2025 – I submitted KYC documents twice. No response from the casino.
24.01.2025 – "Mein Konto ist immer noch nicht gesperrt wie mehrfach geschrieben." Casino only deactivated but did not permanently close the account.
12.04.2025 – I requested reopening. Casino reopened without any responsible gambling checks despite my documented addiction history.
14.10.2025 – I requested reopening again. Casino reopened within minutes with no checks.
14–21.10.2025 – After significant winnings, I repeatedly requested to withdraw my full balance and speak with a manager. Withdrawals were limited to USD 1,000/day. The casino did not respond to any message.
19.10.2025 – My balance reached USD 1,809,776.20 (screenshot available). I formally requested urgent management contact and stated I would accept cryptocurrency payment. No response.
21.10.2025 – I set a formal 10-day payment deadline. No response received.
Late October 2025 – With no ability to withdraw and no casino response, I lost all self-control and gambled away the entire balance. The casino made no intervention despite obvious signs of compulsive behavior.
16.01.2026 – My attorney Mr. R.E.F.A. Bijkerk (LMS Advocaten, Willemstad, Curaçao) sent a formal demand letter to Goodwin N.V. for USD 1,809,776.20. Copy sent to the GCB.
January–June 2026 – Multiple reminders sent. Casino has not responded at all.
12.06.2026 – My attorney formally requested the GCB to consider withdrawing Goodwin N.V.’s license under the LOK.
KEY ARGUMENTS
1. SELF-EXCLUSION IGNORED: Multiple documented self-exclusion requests were not enforced. Instead, the casino sent VIP bonuses.
2. EXPLOITATION: The casino had full written knowledge of my gambling addiction and deliberately failed to protect me.
3. WITHDRAWAL BLOCKED: The casino restricted payouts to USD 1,000/day and refused to respond while my balance was USD 1,809,776.20.
4. NO RESPONSE TO LEGAL DEMAND: The casino has ignored a formal demand letter for over 5 months.
5. LEGAL PRECEDENT: Curaçao Court of First Instance ruled on 20.03.2023 (Case CUR202103244) that a casino is fully liable for losses caused by failure to enforce self-exclusion. The same attorney won that case.

WHAT I AM REQUESTING
Please contact Snatch Casino / Goodwin N.V. on my behalf and request formal response and payment of USD 1,809,776.20 or a fair settlement. If the casino refuses to engage, please document this publicly.
Note: This is NOT a bonus dispute. All deposits were real money. A formal legal process is underway in Curaçao (LMS Advocaten) and a GCB license review has been requested.
