Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom faced withdrawal issues at Tucan casino, where his winnings of 1400 euros were confiscated due to alleged breaches of terms regarding active bonuses and maximum betting limits. He disputed this decision following a week of KYC messaging. We investigated the case and requested detailed gameplay history and communication from the player and casino, but the casino failed to provide sufficient evidence or cooperate. Despite multiple attempts to contact the operator for clarification, Tucan casino did not respond. Consequently, the complaint was marked as unresolved due to lack of cooperation from the casino.

I played a lot on Tucan casino and deposited a lot I won 1400 euro then I tried to withdraw which I had to message them everyday for a week to pass kyc they then sent me


The reasoning behind the confiscation of your winnings is that you’ve breached our terms of service regarding point "7.6. Gaming with active bonuses is restricted in the next slots". You've played the game "9 Pots of Gold, Madame Destiny Megaways, The Dog House, Cash Connection Sizzling Hot, Live Casino" with a bonus balance.

 

Additionally, you’ve breached our terms of service regarding point 7.16. "The maximum allowed bet for wagering the bonus is 2 EUR. Placing a bet higher than 2 EUR while having an active bonus will be considered a violation of bonus terms and will result in the forfeiture of any winnings associated with such bets." with a bonus balance. You have surpassed this one or more times whilst wagering your bonus.


and put 20 euro in my account on there site

Dear AdW2026,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your experience at Tucan Casino. We believe that restricted games for bonus play should be blocked and that this rule should be implemented at the software level—meaning the casino's software or website should prevent players from placing bets on games that are not permitted during bonus wagering. That would be the ideal solution. Alternatively, at the very least, players should be notified when they access a restricted game that it cannot be played while their bonus is active.

  • Could you please advise if you have been warned by the software when accessing any of the restricted games and if it was your first redeemed bonus in this casino?
  • Do you have access to your gameplay history in your account? If yes, could you please share it with us?
  • Are you aware of betting more than the allowed maximum for the bonus?
  • If there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to attila.g@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Attila

We’re sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our services and the decision made.

 

That said, as with any other operator or company, we must enforce our Terms and Conditions. Not to inconvenience our players, but to ensure fair play and consistency across our platform.

 

Although there was a clear breach of Terms and Conditions, we have, as a gesture of goodwill, re-credited your €20 deposit so you can have another chance to enjoy the platform as you wish.

 

Please note that bonuses come with specific terms, and it is each player's responsibility to review them before playing.

 

When signing up for an account, you agree to their terms, so please be aware of them. It is your obligation to be aware of our terms & conditions.

 

Please note that such decisions are not made lightly, and the relevant department came to that conclusion following a thorough investigation, and no adjustments are to be made as it was sorted correctly according to our terms and conditions. 

 

We hope you understand our position. Unfortunately, when terms and conditions are breached, consequences must follow. Just as they would anywhere else.

 

Kind regards,

Tim.

Dear AdW2026, thank you for your response.

In order for me to properly asses the issue, could you please share your game history? I suggest requesting the complete game history directly from the casino in Excel format. The game history should cover the whole of the relevant period: from the moment of the activation of the bonus, until the confiscation of the winnings.

Additionally, could you please attach a receipt of your deposit as well?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Please note that your initial deposit amount has been re-added to your casino account.

 

Thanks for your patience and for understanding.

Dear AdW2026,

Thanks so much for sharing all the details and taking the time to explain everything so clearly. I really appreciate it.

Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver, Samuel (samuel.s@casino.guru), who will contact the casino directly and manage all communication from here. We want to be fully transparent with you. In the past, some of our messages to this casino have gone unanswered, so there’s a chance they may not respond again. However, we’ll do everything we can to encourage their cooperation and give your case the best possible chance of progress.

No action is needed from you at this point. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if anything else is required.

Kind regards,

Attila

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear AdW2026,

thank you for your update.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly, but unfortunately there has been no response within the given timeframe. At this stage, there is not much more that can be achieved without cooperation from the casino’s side.

For this reason, I will be marking this complaint as "unresolved" in our system.

I understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for. However, unresolved complaints can still have an impact on the casino’s rating and may sometimes encourage the operator to re-engage and reconsider the case later. If the casino decides to respond in the future, we will reopen this complaint and you will be notified by email.

As a next step, I recommend escalating the case directly to the casino’s licensing authority. Based on the available information, the casino is likely licensed under the Anjouan Gaming Authority.

You can find the regulator’s official complaint channels here:

The regulator has broader authority to review disputes and may be able to assist further if the casino does not cooperate.

If you need help preparing the complaint or if you receive a response from the authority and are unsure how to proceed, feel free to contact me at samuel.s@casino.guru.

I’m sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Samuel
