Case summary

The player from Austria experienced issues with Spinhub2 Casino after his account was suspended and his €1500 balance was withheld during the verification process. The casino rejected the player’s proof of address document, claiming it had been modified or was not authentic. The player disputed the claim and provided additional supporting materials during the complaint process. The case had already been reviewed by the ADR body, which issued a final decision in favor of the casino. After reviewing all available evidence and the ADR outcome, the Complaints Team was unable to overturn the decision, and the complaint was rejected.

I would like to file a complaint regarding Spinhub2 Casino withholding my account balance of €1500.


My account was suspended during the verification process. The casino requested proof of address, which I provided in the form of an internet bill from my provider (Magenta).


The document was downloaded directly from the official Magenta customer portal and submitted exactly as received.


After submitting the document, the casino rejected it and claimed that the document was "doctored or unauthentic".

However, they did not provide any explanation or evidence indicating what exactly was allegedly altered.


I strongly deny altering or manipulating the document in any way. The file was downloaded directly from my provider’s official portal and submitted without any modification.


It is also important to mention that the PDF document includes a verification certificate/digital signature, which can be checked to confirm the authenticity of the document.


Despite this, the casino has refused the document and permanently suspended my account while withholding my balance of €1500.


I escalated the matter to the ADR service associated with the casino’s license, but they simply repeated the casino’s claim without providing any technical explanation or evidence supporting the allegation.


I have offered to fully cooperate by:

  • providing the document again directly from the official provider portal
  • submitting additional proof of address if necessary
  • allowing the document to be verified with the issuing provider


However, the casino has refused to reconsider the decision.

I believe withholding my balance without presenting clear evidence of document manipulation is unjustified.


I would greatly appreciate Casino Guru’s assistance in reviewing this case and helping resolve the situation fairly.

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi Veronika.

Thanks at first for taking a look into this.


I’ve forwarded you the conversation.


They asked me serval times to forward it again, downloaded from my operator what I did.

Then my account got locked without any warning or information.


In their terms is stated that they accept utility bills like that and their reaction was directly related to the document. (Screenshotted the terms)


I’ve sent them a payment verification from my bank and my passport.


I have several other documents and also bank statements.


Thanks and best,

Matthias

Dear CasinoGuru,


Following the complaint you submitted and the subsequent referral of your case to the independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body, EGIS-ADR, for a full and impartial review, we would like to inform you that we (as well as the client) have received the final decision via email.


After a careful examination of all evidence and documents submitted by both parties, the ADR has concluded that the proof of address you provided (internet bill) was either altered or its authenticity could not be verified.


Regarding the Terms and Conditions

In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, specifically those pertaining to account verification (KYC) and fraud prevention:

The company is obligated to ensure the validity of all submitted documents.

In cases where there are reasonable doubts regarding the authenticity of documents, we reserve the right to suspend or close the account and withhold any relevant funds.


Final Decision Based on the aforementioned findings, the ADR ruled in favor of the company, confirming that the actions taken were fully aligned with the applicable Terms and Conditions. Please note that, according to the ADR process, this decision is final.


We remain at your disposal should you wish for us to forward the official email containing the full response from the ADR body. 


(The same response has also been posted on the AskGamblers site, where the customer has also submitted a complaint)

I must clearly state that I strongly disagree with the conclusion that my proof of address was altered or not authentic.


The document I submitted (internet bill) is genuine, issued by my provider, and has not been manipulated in any way.


I was also in direct contact with the ADR body (EGIS-ADR). However, I did not receive any independent or substantiated assessment. Instead, their response merely repeated the casino’s allegations without providing any concrete evidence, technical analysis, or specific reasoning. This lack of transparency seriously undermines the independence and credibility of the ADR process in this case. (Forwarded the whole conversation to Veronika)


Furthermore, I have shared the submitted verification document directly with Veronika. The document includes an official signature from Magenta/T-Mobile, which can be independently verified. This is a clear indicator of authenticity and directly contradicts the claim that the document was altered.


Despite the seriousness of the accusation (document manipulation), I have still not been provided with:

  • Any precise explanation of what was allegedly "altered"
  • Any concrete inconsistencies in the document
  • Any form of technical or forensic evidence


Making such a severe allegation without presenting verifiable evidence is highly concerning.


It effectively denies me any fair possibility to defend myself and raises serious concerns about due process and fairness.


I have fully cooperated at all times and was ready to provide any additional documentation or verification directly from my provider. However, I was never given this opportunity.


Given these circumstances, I find the overall handling of this case, both by the casino and the ADR, to be highly questionable and lacking the transparency that should be expected in such disputes.


I kindly ask CasinoGuru to take a closer look at this matter, particularly regarding the fairness and independence of the ADR decision, and whether the player was given a reasonable and fair opportunity to address the concerns before such a final and serious conclusion was reached.


Thanks and best,

Matthias

Hello Matex0,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Hi Karla,

I have sent you a full summary of the situation and attached the document used for address verification.

As mentioned, the document is officially issued and digitally signed by Magenta/T-Mobile, and its authenticity can be independently verified.


Despite this, the document was rejected multiple times by both SpinHub and the ADR, without any clear explanation of what exactly was insufficient or incorrect.


Instead, I was accused of having altered the document, which I find very concerning and unprofessional, especially given that the document is verifiable and issued by a legitimate provider.


I would appreciate it if you could review this and advise on how to proceed.


Kind regards,

Matthias

Dear player,

My name is Barbora, and I will be assisting you in solving this case. Now I would like to invite SpinHub Casino representative to join this conversation.


Dear SpinHub Casino,

Could you please provide clarification regarding this case?


Thank you in advance.

Dear Barbora,


As previously stated in our earlier communication, the customer submitted a complaint to the relevant ADR body.

Following the submission and thorough review of all necessary supporting evidence by our company, the ADR ruled in favor of the company, confirming that the actions taken were fully in compliance with the applicable Terms and Conditions.


Please note that, in accordance with the ADR procedure, this decision is final and binding.

The customer has received the official response from the ADR in their email.


The same response has also been posted on the AskGamblers platform, where the customer had also submitted a complaint. As a result, this matter is now considered fully closed.


Best regards

Dear Barbora,

Thank you for your assistance.


However, I must strongly disagree with the position presented by SpinHub.

Simply referring to an ADR decision as "final and binding" does not address the core issue of this case.

At no point was I provided with a clear or specific explanation of why my submitted documents were considered insufficient or allegedly altered.


A decision without transparent reasoning is neither fair nor verifiable.

In any proper review process, conclusions must be supported by clear justification, especially when all provided evidence points in the opposite direction.


The utility bill I submitted is an official document issued by Magenta/T-Mobile, digitally signed, and independently verifiable.


Despite this, it was repeatedly rejected without any explanation.

Instead, I was accused of document manipulation, which is a serious allegation that was never substantiated.


Additionally, the bank document I later provided to the ADR, clearly confirming my name and address, was dismissed without meaningful consideration, and no further communication was provided afterward.


It is also concerning that AskGamblers rejected the complaint solely on the basis of the ADR decision, without independently reviewing the evidence provided.


Furthermore, at the time of that complaint, SpinHub was not listed on Casino.Guru, meaning there was no independent review from your platform at that stage.


At this point, I am not questioning the existence of a decision; I am questioning the lack of reasoning behind it. A process that rejects verifiable documents without explanation and relies purely on authority rather than evidence cannot be considered fair or transparent.


I kindly request a thorough review of the submitted documents and a clear explanation of which specific requirement has not been met.


Kind regards,

Matthias

Dear SpinHub Casino,


Thank you for providing the ADR decision and related communication.


Following our internal review, we have carefully assessed the documentation and additional materials provided by the player, including a recording demonstrating the process of accessing the official provider portal and downloading the invoice directly from the source.


At this stage, we would kindly ask you to provide more detailed clarification regarding your findings.


Specifically, we request confirmation of:


• Which exact elements of the submitted utility bill were identified as altered or inconsistent

• Whether any metadata or technical analysis was performed on the file

• Whether verification of the document authenticity with the issuing provider was attempted

• Whether the player was given the opportunity to provide an alternative proof of address prior to permanent account closure


Given the seriousness of the allegation of document manipulation, providing clear and specific reasoning is essential for a transparent and fair resolution of this case.


Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dear Matex0,


Thank you once again for your patience, cooperation, and for providing all requested materials throughout the complaint process.


I would also like to thank you for the additional clarification and supporting evidence you submitted during our investigation, including the screen recording and related documentation, all of which were carefully reviewed from our side.


After internal discussion and further review of the case, we must take into consideration that the matter has already been reviewed by the ADR body, which issued a final decision in favor of the casino. As mediators, we are unfortunately not in a position to override or disregard the outcome of the official ADR process, particularly in cases where the complaint has already undergone external review.


Although we requested additional clarification regarding the findings during our investigation, no further information beyond the already confirmed ADR conclusions was provided to us. Under these circumstances, we are unfortunately unable to pursue the complaint further from our side and the case will be rejected accordingly.


I understand this is likely not the outcome you were hoping for, and I sincerely appreciate your cooperation and patience throughout the entire process.


Kind regards,

Barbora
