Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €250

VulkanSpiele Casino
Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Greece reported that his account was blocked after winning €250 from a €20 stake, despite having withdrawn funds without issues for approximately two years. He requested that his winnings be paid out before the account closure. During the investigation, it was confirmed that the player had used his wife’s credit cards to make deposits into his casino account. This constitutes a third-party deposit, which is explicitly prohibited under the casino’s Terms and Conditions. As this represents a serious breach of the rules, the casino was entitled to forfeit the winnings and block the account. For this reason, the complaint was rejected and the winnings were not paid out.

Hi C1t0x3,

Thank you very much for your reply. I

I kindly ask you to answer the following:

  • How many different payment methods have you used in total during the entire time you’ve been playing at this casino (for example: 1 card, multiple cards, bank transfer, e-wallet, etc.)?
  • Are you ready to prove the ownership of every payment method you used?
  • Is there any possibility that you may have used a joint bank account (shared with someone else) or a business account to make a deposit, even once?

These details are important to understand whether the casino has grounds for their claim or if the accusation might be incorrect.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi C1t0x3,

Thank you for your reply and for clarifying the payment methods you used.

To make sure I understand the situation correctly, please confirm the following point:

  • You stated that you used your wife’s credit cards to deposit funds into your own casino account. Is this correct?

If so, I need to draw your attention to a very clear and explicit rule in the casino’s Terms and Conditions, which directly addresses this situation. According to Section 8.3 of the casino’s T&Cs:


"The Company does not accept 3rd party deposits, i.e. a friend, relative, partner, husband or wife. You must deposit from an account/system or credit card that is registered in your own name and ensure that your payment requisites are used for the deposits exclusively to your own account. (…) If we discover during our security checks that this has occurred, all winnings at the Website and the real money balance will be forfeited and the account will be blocked."


This means that using your wife’s credit card, even once, constitutes a third-party deposit, which is explicitly prohibited under the rules you agreed to when registering.

While I understand your frustration—especially since you mention playing for a long time without issues—the fact that a rule may not have been enforced earlier does not override or invalidate it once the violation is identified.

Please confirm whether the above understanding is correct. Once we have your confirmation, we will be able to clearly assess whether the casino’s decision was in line with its published Terms and Conditions and advise you accordingly on the realistic next steps.

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Dear C1t0x3,

Thank you for your last message. I’m sorry to hear how upsetting this situation has been for you.

After carefully reviewing all the information you provided, I need to be transparent and clear about our conclusion.

You have confirmed that you used your wife’s credit cards to deposit funds into your own casino account. This is considered a third-party deposit, which is explicitly prohibited under the casino’s Terms and Conditions and also conflicts with standard AML (anti-money-laundering) requirements that apply across the industry.

If the deposits had been made from a joint bank account held in both your and your wife’s name, this would be a different situation and something we could further assess. However, using payment methods registered exclusively in another person’s name is regarded as a serious breach of the rules. In such cases, casinos are generally entitled to forfeit winnings and block the account once the violation is identified.

I understand your argument that these payment methods were used for a long time without issue. However, the fact that the casino did not detect or act on the violation earlier does not invalidate the rule itself, nor does it create an obligation for the casino to pay out winnings once a breach is confirmed. Each player is responsible for ensuring that their account details are accurate and that all deposits are made using their own funds and payment methods.

For these reasons, we are unable to challenge the casino’s decision or request the payment of the disputed winnings. As a result, this complaint must be rejected.

I know this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but I want to be honest with you about the limits of what we can reasonably pursue in this case.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Petronela
