Case summary

The player from Finland had his withdrawal rejected by the casino after he had fulfilled the wagering requirements for a welcome offer deposit. The casino claimed that he had previously created an account or that his IP address was associated with prior play, which he disputed. He sought assistance in retrieving his winnings. The Complaints Team contacted the casino, which stated that the player's winnings had been confiscated due to a breach of promotional terms linking him to another user who had claimed the welcome bonus. The player was advised to escalate the matter to the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission for further assistance. The complaint was closed due to the player's lack of response to follow-up inquiries. Upon reopening the case, it was found that the GSC had ruled in favor of the casino, confirming the confiscation of winnings, and the case was subsequently closed.

I made a 100e deposit on the welcome offer on 17.09.2025. I got the wagering through normally within the rules, I withdrew my winnings but the casino manually rejected my withdrawal claiming that I had previously created a user for this casino or that my IP address had previously been played from, which is absolutely not possible. I won a really big amount of money with fair play and it would be really nice to get help from you with this matter as soon as possible.

there is no way that someone in my household would have created an account for this casino i live with my old father and he doesn't even know what online casinos are and our wifi has not been used by anyone other than me. I have not even been asked about the KYC process. The bonus i used was a 100% welcome deposit bonus. I am sending screenshots of the emails here. Ursacasino is no longer responding to my emails.

Dear player, have you by any chance connected to public Wi-Fi networks or used a shared connection, such as in a café or public place, where someone else might have used the same IP address?

Did you use a VPN at any point while accessing the casino, which could cause your IP address to appear different from your actual location?

Did you use a payment method in your name when making the deposit, or could it be possible that a different payment method was used?

Hi!

I used my own home wifi network, so it's not possible that I connected to a public network and didn't use a VPN.


I also made a deposit from my own bank account.

Dear veetikassu,

I have received the following response from the casino team:

Hi Michal,

 

Thank you for your correspondence regarding the recent inquiry submitted by v********[email protected]

 

Please be advised that the customer's winnings were confiscated in accordance with Clause 4 of our Promotional Terms and Conditions which states: "Only one promotion is awarded per account per player meaning one per family, household address, IP address, email address, telephone number, credit or debit card and/or e-payment account, or shared computer (e.g. school, public library or workplace). If you are found to be in breach of this clause, all winnings will be confiscated."

 

We identified a link between the customer and another user who had claimed the welcome bonus prior to this customer.

 

As a result, the account was found to be in breach of the promotional terms, and the winnings were removed in line with the conditions agreed to upon registration and participation in the promotion.

 

Please note that, due to data protection obligations, we are unable to disclose any personal or account-related information regarding the linked user.

 

We have advised the customer to escalate the matter to the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission if they wish to formally challenge the outcome. Should they choose to proceed, we will submit all relevant evidence to the GSC and will fully comply with the final decision.

 

Regards,

Complaints Team

Ursa Casino

Although we would prefer to address your case through our complaint forum, we recognize that the casino's privacy policy and associated regulations prevent them from sharing essential information and evidence with us. I also suggest that you file a complaint with the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC), as they are the suitable authority to assist in this matter. There is an online complaint form on the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) webpage, which must be completed and submitted in English.

You might find our article about Licensing Authority – Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission | Casino Guru and How to submit a complaint to a regulator | Casino Guru useful.

Kindly inform me when you do so, and I will temporarily close this case while awaiting the decision rendered by the GSC.

However, please note that the player retains the option to reopen this complaint at any time in the future should they choose to resume communication. We remain open and ready to assist in resolving the matter should the player decide to reach out again.

We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of veetikassu. We’ve also received confirmation that the player has submitted a complaint to the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC).

For now, we’ll temporarily mark this case as unresolved while we wait for the GSC’s decision. Once the regulator provides an outcome, we’ll review the situation again and update this complaint accordingly.

Veetikassu, please keep us updated on any progress or feedback you receive from the GSC by emailing us at [email protected]

We are reopening this case because we have been informed about the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) decision.

The GSC has stated:

We are satisfied, based on the evidence provided, that you were in breach of this term and as such Spinny Moon Limited is within its rights to confiscate your winnings. You agree to these terms and conditions when you claim any bonus on the website. 

 

We also acknowledge that the licence holder has provided your deposit back to you in full.

 

Due to the above, we will be investigating your complaint no further.


Since the GSC, as the regulatory authority overseeing the casino, has ruled on your official complaint in the casino’s favour, we unfortunately have no ability to alter or influence that decision.

You certainly have the right to disagree with the GSC’s conclusion and may choose to pursue the matter through legal channels; however, we are unable to provide any further assistance in this regard.

I will now proceed to close the case accordingly.

I apologise for not being able to assist you further. If you experience any additional issues with this or any other casino in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Complaint Resolution Centre. We will try our best to help.



Best Regards,

Michal
