Spinanga Casino - Player's withdrawal is delayed.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €90

Spinanga Casino
Safety Index 8.2 High

Case summary

The player from Italy requested a withdrawal made one month ago, yet she did not receive the funds despite completing KYC verification. Communication with the casino did not resolve the issue. The casino permanently closed her account, alleging submission of altered documents and breach of their terms, which resulted in confiscation of her balance. The player denied the accusations and requested evidence, but the casino provided documentation showing signs of digital alteration. We rejected the complaint as the casino supplied sufficient proof of violation of their terms and conditions.

Even though I have completed the verification of the person, they continue to stall with every possible excuse just to avoid paying.

Honestly, I find it embarrassing that you're asking me for proof of identity again, when I'd already sent it several days ago and you said everything was fine. I also feel like you're mocking me. However, out of caution and for your information, I'll publish what I emailed you here. Let's see if you can come up with yet another excuse.

Dear Spinanga Casino Team,

Dear Cleopax,


We are writing to provide an update regarding the status of your account and the outcome of the investigation conducted by our security department.


Please be informed that your account has been permanently closed due to a material breach of our General Terms and Conditions. Specifically, during the mandatory verification process, the account failed to provide valid, authentic, and legible documentation. Submitting non-authentic or altered documentation constitutes a direct violation under Clause 9.1 (Fraud, illegal and improper use):


"The following activities are strictly prohibited and will be considered a material breach of these General Terms and Conditions: [...] engaging in any fraudulent activities [...]"


Furthermore, as a result of this material breach, and in accordance with Clause 9.4 of our Terms and Conditions, we have exercised our right to take the following actions:


"Should we arrive at a reasonable suspicion that you have engaged in a fraud, any illegal or improper activity, or have otherwise breached the Terms, we reserve the right to take any number of the following action, at our sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice: [...] permanently close your account with the Website [...]; void any winnings obtained, cancel any pending withdrawals and confiscate the real money balance of your account;"  


Consequently, your account will remain permanently closed, and any remaining balance and winnings have been voided and confiscated as per the aforementioned regulations.


Best Regards,

Spinanga Casino Team

So to clarify everything from the point where you first accuse me of having provided false documentation:


  • tell me which documentation you think is false, bank statement document, photo with document and background to understand but above all the reason since I sent you an IBAN of a current account associated with a name and surname so automatically the person is already verified


Let's talk about regulations from the moment you see all this wisdom



1. Access to Data (GDPR): Pursuant to Art. 15 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), I formally request access to my full personal data, including a copy of my transaction history and final account balance statement at the time of closing. I remind you that, as you operate in the European market, you are subject to penalties for failure to comply within 30 days.


2. EU Case Law and Account Freezing: I am aware of the recent Case C-198/24 (May 2026) of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which allows national judges to issue European freezing orders on the bank accounts of operators (even those based abroad) to ensure the recovery of illegally withheld player funds.


3. Reporting to the Authorities (ADM): Since your platform operates without an ADM license in Italy, I reserve the right to file a formal report through the Customs and Monopolies Agency's Whistleblowing portal. This procedure is aimed not only at debt collection but also at blocking your domains in Italy due to illegal gaming activity.


4. Refund and Misappropriation Terms: In the event of account closure, the operator is required to return the funds within a maximum of 5-7 business days. Withholding funds beyond this limit, or the arbitrary delay communicated in your messages, constitutes the crime of misappropriation. The verification procedure (KYC) cannot be invoked as a pretext for withholding funds from an account already closed by you.

CONCLUSION AND WARNING


5 Please explain to anyone who reads this complaint why you rely on external companies to pay withdrawal requests and your casino name does not appear

I'LL ANSWER YOU BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU WOULD BE OVERSHADOWED BY MONOPOLIES


6 let's talk about collusion

you accuse me of having colluded let's take it for granted even if it is not

so you think I robbed your casino

There is no other explanation. I wonder, since I didn't take advantage of bonuses and played slots and sports betting with my own money, how could I have carried out the scam of the century? And explain to those who read the forum what strategy I could have used to justify keeping the 90 euros that I own.


LET'S BE CLEAR, YOU ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NOT BEING AN AAMS CASINO, YOU USE EVERY EXCUSE TO NOT PAY WITH A LICENSE IN CURACAO, YOU THINK YOURSELF UNTOUCHABLE


HOWEVER HAVING SAID THAT, the 90 euros won't change my life. I hope the forum helps other people.

From the moment I thought that every casino had AAMS licenses, I discovered that there are also non-AAMS ones.

In addition to the fact that they are not legal on the web in Italy, I also discovered the following:


Nullity due to conflict with mandatory provisions


"Since online gambling in Italy is reserved exclusively for entities holding a state license (ADM, formerly AAMS), the operation of an unauthorized site is considered illegal under Law 401/1989 . Consequently, any gaming contract concluded on these platforms may be declared null and void."


So, I wonder if AAMS casinos, when you register, ask you for your ID data and that's it. They don't ask you anything else. If there are any collusion issues, they block your account or limit it. You withdraw money and that's it.


Having discovered that Spinanga is one of those casinos without an AAMS license, I couldn't understand why the casino didn't require you to verify your identity when you registered.

With the experience I'm having now I understand why they don't do the verification of the person because they exploit it to avoid paying or to pay late what is due to the bettor


my question is directed to casino, guru


How is it possible that a casino of this type has a good safety index by implementing rules of this type and behaviors where transparency is a utopia?


I've been sending documents after documents for a month and a half, always the same ones. After a month and a half of not paying, it turns out that I have the use and that my documents are not valid. In truth, a casino of this type must have minimum security measures.


If they really have to bring up the terms and conditions as an excuse for not paying, it would also be fair for Casino Guru to provide more than good or at least above-average parameters by requiring casinos, not AAMS, to complete the personal verification at the time of registration so that it cannot be used, as in my case and certainly in other cases, exclusively as an excuse for not paying what is due and for not misappropriating the gamblers' money.


It is very clear that it becomes difficult to take advantage of the law when you discover that the license of a casino is in Curacao but above all it remains difficult to evaluate a casino like this Spinanga which appreciates it has a positive judgment on safety while in reality it is not so.


Transparency is fundamental, but if you are not transparent first, it is the one who offers a service (the mess) that is not a good thing


I repeat, to complete the excellent work that Casino Guru does and achieve perfection, casinos must require, I repeat, no AAMS, account verification at the time of registration in order to remove any possible excuse for the casino itself not to pay, which they regularly use.

I am convinced that if casino guru as a rating on security, will start from 3 for casinos that do not require verification at the time of registration, many many many complaints would not exist because it would remove from the cases themselves the alibi to justify late payments or payments

I hope this comment is appreciated and not seen as a criticism of Casino Guru. As for the casino in question, it's best I leave my words and my opinion unspoken. I can only say that it's a disgrace for institutions to allow this mode of operation in 2026.

Since I feel personally affected by the slander that the casino itself is making against me, especially regarding the quantity of documents presented, I do not know what problems there may be or what matters they are contesting, but having informed myself legally, I report below what I believe to be correct at the moment:


Regarding Spinanga's citation of Clause 9.1, I wish to point out to the mediator that the exercise of this right 'at sole and absolute discretion' is clearly abusive in the absence of objective evidence.

Lack of Evidence: The casino confiscates real money based on a 'suspicion' of inauthentic documentation, without ever specifying which document was altered or granting me the right to reply or send certified copies.

Real Money vs. Winnings: Even if the casino has doubts about the validity of a document, confiscating the initial deposit (real money) is an unlawful practice. The casino cannot unduly enrich itself by withholding funds that have been duly deposited.

Total Availability: I reiterate my full availability to undergo immediate video verification or to send original bank statements in digital PDF format (not scanned), which are technically impossible to alter.

I ask the CasinoGuru mediator to demand specific evidence of the tampering from the casino. If the casino cannot unequivocally prove fraud, Clause 9.1 cannot be used to seize my funds. I do not accept that a "unilateral suspicion" can serve as a pretext for the theft of my balance.

Regarding Spinanga's challenge to Clauses 9.1 and 9.4, I would like to provide the mediator with further technical elements that demonstrate the groundlessness and bad faith of the accusation:

Gambling History: I would like to point out that the most recent and major transactions on my account, which generated the current balance, occurred exclusively on slot machines. While I may have placed sports bets in the past, the recent activity that led to the withdrawal request is purely slot-related.

Impossibility of Collusion/Fraud: As is well known in the industry, it is technically impossible to commit fraud or collude with other players on slot machines, as the outcome depends solely on certified software (RNG). There is no advantage or illicit profit a user can gain by "falsifying" documents to play slots, especially without the use of bonuses.

Claim 9.1 (Document Fraud): The accusation of submitting fake documents is false. If the casino had genuine concerns, it would accept my offer for immediate video verification. The refusal to provide such proof of good faith confirms that Clause 9.1 is being used as a pretext for non-payment.

Illegitimacy of 9.4 (Confiscation): Withholding my real money (deposits) based on a unilateral and unproven suspicion, in a game (slots) where cheating is not possible, constitutes an embezzlement of my capital.

I'm asking the CasinoGuru mediator to assess the complete absence of a fraudulent motive: why would a user risk submitting altered documents to play a game where they can't influence the outcome? I'm waiting for my balance to be unblocked and my deposits to be refunded immediately.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE REQUESTED COLLECTION DATE

March 30, 2026

TODAY IT'S BEEN 65 DAYS


Casino Guru, forgive me, but I want to point out that a casino that uses this method of criteria cannot have a high rating of 8 for security. I am very disappointed by this way of interacting and being treated in any way. You have no way to defend yourself and you have no way to do anything, but at the very least, it would be appreciated not to be publicly defamed without a real reason, offering only excuses as well written above regarding Article 9.1 and Article 9.4.

He continues to reiterate that this type of casino uses the personal verification technique exclusively at its discretion and when it is convenient and promptly uses it when it has to pay.

This possibility must be removed as soon as possible and only with an aggressive form by a moderator like casino guru can a solution be achieved.

And now it's time to prevent casinos from using this form of pretext to not fulfill their obligations but above all it's time that A CASINO THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE VERIFICATION AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION TO THE CASINO ITSELF MUST START WITH A SAFETY RATING OF 3 because I repeat it is not a safe casino and it is not a transparent casino, but above all it is taken away any alibi for not paying


I'm sure I did, which was appreciated. As always, I thank the moderator Casino Guru for the service he provides and for the professionalism he puts into trying to help people without asking him for anything.

In 65 days I SENT THEM THE USUAL DOCUMENTS 4/5 times and after 65 days I repeat 65 they tell me that they are fake embarrassing

I SENT HIM:

  • Identity card
  • Postepay Digital account statement
  • Revolut account statement
  • Revolut IBAN associated with my surname, that is Calamati Franca
  • Photo with TV behind with their casino website on the screen

Now at this point, the reason why I should have sent one of these falsified documents, if they explain it to me, could be that perhaps one of these documents, not going well, to understand it, it only took, I repeat, 65 days anyway, we wait for their response and maybe they will explain some documents, they will explain to us even if they have a clear conscience, how I defrauded the casino by playing bets and slots, causing damage to the casino with my own money and maybe with whom I colluded on the slots or which sports team I colluded with, maybe I could have made an agreement with Milan, Juventus, Manchester City, Real Madrid

The casino's seriousness is also demonstrated by this: on May 6th, about 30 days after the withdrawal request, they told me this, so there were no problems of any kind. After another 35 days, therefore with a total of 65 days, they brought out the utmost hypocrisy.

I would call this behavior a scam against the gambler, but everyone can judge this behavior as they wish. I reiterate the concept: after 30 days everything is fine, within 3-5 days they pay, after 65 I defrauded the casino by colluding and falsifying documents!!

It would be appreciated if the evidence, since it concerns me, were also sent to me for information, so that it works in a democracy unless we are in a dictatorship and do as you please (SO IT SEEMS)

I have no way to defend my position since you have not disclosed the evidence of my guilt and I do not understand the motivation.

Greetings, all.

Thank you, Spinanga Casino, for providing all the information and evidence related to this case.


Dear Cleopax,

Unfortunately, we are forced to reject your complaint, as the casino has provided sufficient evidence that you violated the casino's terms and conditions.

In particular, the casino supplied evidence indicating that you submitted altered documentation during the verification process. Their KYC department detected clear signs of digital alteration and editing on the submitted file.

Please understand that we cannot support this kind of behavior under any circumstances.


Respectfully, Lucia
