Thank you for providing me with the additional information and evidence, Spinarium Support Team.
Dear michalvym,
After reviewing all the additional information and evidence I was provided, this shed a completely different light on the situation.
While in general the creation of multiple/duplicate accounts, as long as they didn't provide the player with any unfair advantage, is, in our point of view, not considered a fully valid reason for confiscation of the player winnings if this is the sole reason for it, however, as it turned out, your situation is much more complex, and you violated the casino rule on multiple occasions, and on top of that, you indeed provided misleading information regarding the existence of these additional accounts.
It is an industry-standard rule that every player can maintain only one account at each casino unless they explicitly have permission from the casino team to create another account.
While I understand that when you hit a losing streak, it can make you angry, and at that moment, you want to close your account immediately, but the self-exclusion option/tool is not designed to be used when you experience losses. It is designed to help people if they start to feel they are not able to manage their gaming habit.
If a player has requested self-exclusion, it is very common in basically most casinos that the player is strictly not allowed to open another account. If they do that, despite this, unfortunately, there could be certain consequences once this is discovered.
Additionally, as was mentioned, instead of contacting the casino support to provide you with the steps to reopen your original account, you decided, on your own, against the rules, to create multiple other accounts. You intentionally used other email addresses and changed certain personal data to trick the casino system into immediately identifying you as already having an account.
While I can agree with you that the casino system could be set to detect more data when registering an account, looking at all the accounts you created, you would most likely still adjust the data so that you could create another account. It does not really matter if the accounts were KYC verified; you simply violated the rules by creating and using the accounts and thus intentionally avoided the self-exclusion restriction you set for yourself on your original account.
Furthermore, unawareness or "ignorance" of the casino rules is sadly not a valid justification. Our complaint resolution centre operates on principles of fairness and good faith, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any attempts to exploit it.
Taking all this into consideration in this particular instance, I concur with the casino's decision to leave all your accounts closed and not process any remaining funds to you. You have already received quite a considerable amount, even though you were not really eligible for it because of the rule breaches.
Based on all the abovementioned, I am now forced to close this reopened case as Rejected - Unjustified.
I can only recommend that you invest time in reading, understanding and following the casino rules. Any potential rule violation will sooner or later be discovered, and it quite often is in a situation when you will want to withdraw winnings.
You are certainly entitled to not agree with this conclusion and may contact the casino's licensing authority if you believe you are justified in your position; however, we are not able to provide you with any further assistance.
Should you face any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will try our best to assist you if possible.
