Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve encountered. To better understand your situation, I’d like to clarify a few details with your help:

  • Could you please describe in more detail how you closed your first account? Did you request self-exclusion via live chat or email, or did you close the account directly from your profile?
  • Could you let me know which of your accounts was fully verified? Did you receive any confirmation that your identity documents were reviewed and accepted by the casino’s verification department?
  • When exactly did you close your first account, and when did you open the second one?
  • Did you use the same personal information (such as your name, date of birth, address, and phone number) for both accounts?

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

To: Spindog.com Support


I am writing regarding my pending withdrawal of £7,000 which has been unfairly withheld. You returned only my deposit while refusing to release the winnings I lawfully earned.


Your justification — citing "multiple account policy" — is both unfounded and unacceptable:

1. Your Terms & Conditions were not clearly explained at the point of registration.

2. I registered with the same legal name, and you fully accepted my deposits and gameplay. Selectively invoking hidden policies only after I win amounts to bad faith and fraud.

3. By withholding my winnings, Spindog.com is in direct violation of fair gaming and consumer protection standards.


This is a final notice: unless the full $7,000 is released within 3 working days, I will:

• File a formal legal claim against Spindog.com for fraud and breach of contract,

• Report your operations to the Curaçao eGaming Licensing Authority and other relevant gambling regulators,

• Submit complaints to financial fraud authorities and publish full details of your misconduct across Trustpilot, AskGamblers, CasinoGuru, and other public platforms to warn other players.


This matter can still be resolved amicably by releasing my rightful winnings immediately. I strongly urge you to process my payout at once, as failure to do so will escalate the issue beyond your control.


I expect confirmation of payment processing within 3 working days.


Sincerely,

Z

I see. To ensure no confusion going forward, please be aware I will not be able to request your winnings to be paid. This is simply because you were not supposed to be able to re-register and play ever, after your original self-exclusion. Being unable to play also means being unable to win. Me requesting your winnings to be paid would be promoting free betting - where you either get your winnings paid or your deposits returned, whichever is higher. And that is unfair, and would set a bad example for other players to request self-exclusion in the casino, then quickly deposit and get paid without a chance of losing, stating your case as precedense.


Since your second account has been closed and deposits returned, there is nothing else I can do. Can you please give me some details about the original closure? You have mentioned they confiscated your deposits. Can you provide some more information about that, please? Especially when did you request the self-exclusion, how long did it take for the casino to close the account and how much have you deposited since the request? Thank you.

If they self excluded my account my first account they didn’t mention anything about reopening an account and also when I requested self exclusion they offered me a free cash bonus to continue playing and I opened the other account few hours after but I did not receive no confirmation that the first account was closed

I am bit confused, so let's try to get the answers one by one:

  1. Did your first account get closed or not? Can you still log in?
  2. Did they confiscate any balance when closing your first account?
  3. Was your first account closed at the time you re-registered with your second account?
  4. Have you used the same credentials for your second account?
