Case summary

The player from Spain had her account become inaccessible after receiving email confirmation of document approval for withdrawal. Despite changing her password, she was unable to log in and withdraw her €2414 winnings. The Complaints Team reviewed the situation and confirmed that the deposits had been made using a third-party payment method without prior authorization, which was against the casino's terms and conditions. Consequently, the casino restricted her account and voided her winnings. The complaint was ultimately closed as rejected, with the decision explained based on the established rules.

Since they sent me an email finally approving all my documents to be able to make a withdrawal, I have been unable to access my account, I have changed the password and still no success. It seems that after verifying everything they do not want me to withdraw my €2414 earned fairly.

Hello, I registered at the casino on February 25th and only played slot games. My winnings were without bonuses, in total since I registered I barely deposited €100 and I was lucky enough to win €2414. But I spent a week or so sending documents to verify so I could withdraw all the money. But it so happens that when they verify the documents I suddenly can't access my account because it says that the access credentials are incorrect. I have used the same email and password all the time and it hasn't given me any problems. But suddenly this happens. I changed the conversation and when I put in the new password I get the same message: the access credentials are incorrect or NON-EXISTENT!! Since then I have been sending emails to customer support asking what has happened and how it can be solved. And so far they haven't answered me.

I have received your response (image) and your terms and conditions do not mention any penalties. They say they will review and verify the data to verify the authenticity of the cardholder (image).

I also added the URL of the terms and conditions so that it can be seen if there is any abuse being committed against me to prevent me from withdrawing the €2,414.

Hi There,


I have investigated your account and see that when you made your deposit, a third-party payment method was used and this is a violation of our terms and conditions, our terms and conditions state:


7.6 - We may void all winnings if your name does not match the name on the credit card you are using. In such circumstances, we may also request the necessary documentation from the player to allow us to perform the required identity verification checks on our end before taking any action. The burden of proof that the player had the necessary authorization to proceed with the transaction must always rest with the player.


8.12 - Before any withdrawal is processed, your play will be reviewed for any violations of the Terms and Conditions/bonus policy and Responsible Gaming checks. If we believe a violation of the Terms and Conditions has occurred, or if you have another account restricted due to our responsible gaming tools/procedures, we reserve the right to withhold any withdrawal and/or confiscate all winnings and bonuses. Any contact from us congratulating you on any winnings does not mean that the winnings are legitimate and that the Accounts Department has reviewed the bonus policies or violations.


https://www.spingenie.es/terms/


I see you have been in contact with our support team regarding this matter and you have been advised that due to this breach, the account is restricted and the winnings have been removed from the account.


Thank you for your understanding.

Hi yrdujvggdhg,

Thank you for your updates.

Could you please confirm whether the casino's statement about a third-party deposit is correct? Did you use a payment method that was not in your name when making the deposit?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi there.

My grandson, with his consent, allowed me to make such deposits with his credit card since I don't have one. I only have a bank book.

As far as I understood, if it's a relative of more than the first degree, it's acceptable to carry out this process. I also sent the authorization downloaded from Spingenie, filled out by hand and signed by me and my grandson.

Hello yrdujvggdhg,

Thank you for your clarification and for explaining the situation regarding the use of your grandson's credit card.

However, I must kindly point out that using a third-party payment method — even with the consent of a family member and even if you provided an authorization form — is generally not allowed by most online casinos. The terms and conditions clearly state that the account holder's name must match the name on the payment method used. This is a standard security measure required by both the casino and financial regulations.

  • May I please ask if you discussed this option with the casino in advance and received their explicit approval to use your grandson's credit card for deposits? If not, I’m afraid we will not be able to assist you further, as the casino is entitled to enforce their terms and conditions in such cases.

I will be happy to wait for your confirmation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, yes. I spoke to them, and they told me that filling out the application wouldn't be a problem. It would involve a second-degree relative or higher, and it would be consent. They sent me the consent form to send. So, telling me I'm violating the terms and conditions, when they're the ones sending me the consent form to make the deposit, which they accepted, seems like an abuse of the terms and conditions to prevent me from withdrawing my balance. Compared to the almost €100 deposited, the €2,414 won is a huge loss for the casino from their perspective. That's why I think they're abusing their power toward a player who's just been lucky and wants to withdraw her winnings.

Hi There,


Please note that no contact was made with our support team before deposits were placed on the account.


It was only after this, when you were ready to request a withdrawal, that your grandson contacted us to inform us that you had made deposits with his card and asked how this card could be verified. At that point, you were advised of which documents were needed, including the authorisation form for the card that had already been used on the account. We can provide the chat transcripts if needed.


Please note that as per our terms, which you agreed to upon registration, the account has been restricted and the winnings have been removed from the account.


Thank you for your understanding.

My grandson didn't contact you. All he did was lend me his card to make the deposit. The only person you've spoken to, whenever you felt like it and only responding to the messages you thought were most appropriate, omitting several of the messages in which he asked you for information about documents, is me.

And since you were informed of the card's origin, you provided me with the card authorization form for verification. After that, that payment method would be validated, and I could then make my withdrawal.

And I continue to say, given the way you're saying my winnings have been wiped out, that all this is because, compared to what I've won and invested, I've obtained a very favorable result. But of course, as they say, the casino never loses...

Well, as I believe that an abuse of power is being committed against me.

If this isn't resolved favorably, I'll have to file a complaint with the Spanish government's "General Directorate for Gambling Regulation" and have them investigate the case.

Wow, I did write to you... But as you said, you couldn't give him any information because it wasn't me. And I'm pretty sure I contacted you myself and spoke to you.

If you have all the screenshots, including the one we discussed on the subject, let's see if it's true that you gave me the consent form to verify my grandson's card, knowing it belonged to my grandson. Why else would you send me the document to fill out so they could verify it?

Hi yrdujvggdhg,

Thank you for your response and for sharing your perspective on the situation.

However, it’s important to clarify a crucial point:

If a player wishes to use a payment method that does not belong to them (such as a relative’s card), they must request and receive approval from the casino before making any deposit. This is standard practice to prevent fraud, ensure compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, and protect all parties involved.

Asking to verify the card only after the deposits have been made is not sufficient, and unfortunately, cannot retroactively authorize the use of a third-party payment method.

The fact that the casino later sent you an authorization form does not change the fact that the deposits were already made in violation of the terms and conditions — specifically the rule prohibiting the use of unauthorized third-party payment methods.

In such cases, the casino is within its rights to restrict the account and void winnings, as outlined in their terms of service.

We understand this may feel unfair, especially after a winning session, but the responsibility to ensure compliance with payment rules lies with the account holder before any funds are deposited.

Please let me know if there's any information I've missed, but unfortunately, I will have to reject your complaint as unjustified. I truly wish I could offer more assistance. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your reply.

Dear yrdujvggdhg,

After careful consideration, we must confirm that the deposits in question were made without the required prior authorization for a third-party payment method. As per the casino’s terms and conditions, any use of someone else’s card or payment account must be approved before funds are deposited. Requesting verification only after the fact does not satisfy this requirement, and the casino acted within its rights to restrict your account and void the related winnings.

Although we understand this decision is disappointing, we have reviewed all documentation and correspondence thoroughly. Since there are no additional facts or evidence to alter this conclusion, we are now closing your complaint as rejected.

We regret that we could not achieve a different result for you.

Best regards,

Petronela
