Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €1,800

Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Romania filed a formal complaint against Welle Casino for the confiscation of €1,800 in approved withdrawals due to alleged "duplicate account" issues linked to a previously closed account. He argued that his new account had passed KYC verification, and he had previously been allowed to deposit, play, and withdraw without issues. We reviewed the evidence provided by both the player and the casino, which showed that the player had created a second account using slightly altered personal details to avoid detection. The casino had acted in accordance with its Terms and Conditions by blocking the duplicate account and withholding winnings. Consequently, the complaint was rejected due to the clear intent to circumvent the casino's rules on multiple accounts.

I am filing a formal complaint regarding Welle Casino and the confiscation of €1,800 (€1,000 + €800) in processed withdrawals.


On 22 November 2025, I made two withdrawals totaling €1,800.

Both were approved, marked as processed, and confirmed in my account transaction history.


Shortly after, the casino sent an e-mail stating that the funds were confiscated due to "duplicate account" concerns linked to an older account that had been previously closed.


Why This Is Improper


1. My new account passed full KYC verification, where the casino had access to all identifying data (ID card, payment method, IP, device, PayerID).



2. Welle allowed me to deposit, play, lose, win, and even withdraw two previous amounts (€1,000 and €400).



3. The casino only discovered the alleged "duplication" after approving another withdrawal.



4. This is textbook selective enforcement of T&Cs, which violates every credible regulator’s fairness requirements.



5. If an account should be blocked due to past exclusion, the operator has the legal obligation to stop the player immediately—not after profiting from deposits and gameplay.



6. Responsible Gambling protocols were not applied when they should have been.



Requested Remedy


I am requesting:


• Payment of the €1,800 in approved withdrawals, OR

• At minimum, a full refund of all deposits made into the new account.


I will provide all evidence, including:

– KYC approval

– screenshots of processed withdrawals

– previous successful withdrawals

– the confiscation e-mail


I request your assistance in resolving this case.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please explain under what circumstances your previous account was closed?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,


Thank you for your follow-up.


1. Yes, I confirm that all information I provided during the registration of both accounts was accurate and complete.

I did not use false or misleading personal details on either account.

My identity was fully verified via KYC on the new account using the same official documents accepted by the casino.



2. Regarding the total deposits on the new account:

I deposited relatively small amounts overall.

My deposits were modest, and the two earlier withdrawals (€1,000 and €400) were processed and paid without any issue by the casino.




The dispute concerns only the two withdrawals from 22 November (€1,000 and €800) which were marked as "Processed" by the casino but never delivered.


If you need exact transaction screenshots, I can send them via email.


I am available to provide any further information that may help clarify the case.


Thank you.

Hello ZbooR, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej and I will be taking care of your complaint going forward. I've just reviewed this case and fully appreciate your concerns regarding the voided balance. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.


I’d like to invite a representative of Welle Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you please provide more details as of why this player’s account has been flagged only after winning and specify the issue? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail [email protected].

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Thank you for inviting us to participate in the review of this complaint, and thank you for your patience.


Following a detailed review, we confirm that the player had previously held an account with Welle Casino.


The newly registered account was created with personal details corresponding to a previously registered account; however, several identifiers were presented in a different format, including:


  • a different order of a double surname,
  • modified name formatting,
  • the residential address was provided in a different format,
  • a different phone number created by adding an extra digit,
  • a different email address.


As the personal details were presented in a different format, the system was technically unable to prevent a repeated registration, and no duplicate indicators were detected during standard automated checks.


In accordance with the verification procedures, an enhanced security review was initiated once the player submitted a withdrawal request that would cause cumulative withdrawals to exceed the applicable threshold.


During this enhanced review, the account was confirmed to be a duplicate account. The account was immediately blocked in full compliance with the Terms and Conditions.


According to the Terms and Conditions:

2.8 As a Customer of Welle you are held responsible to provide correct personal details

2.1 You may open only one account. If you open another account Welle may void all bets made from this duplicate account.

5.5 An additional security check will be initiated after a single withdrawal that exceeds €1 000 or cumulative withdrawals with a sum over €2 000

Dear Welle Casino, thank you for the detailed explanation of the situation at hand. Could you please send me the details of both accounts, showing the credentials being used for registration/profile at [email protected]? No sensitive data will be shared or forwarded. Thank you.

Also thank you, ZbooR, for additional explanation. For your information, slightly changing name and address does point towards intentional circumvention of the self-exclusion, and such cases are usually rejected by Casino Guru. Changing a format or adding/omitting a middle name shows intent to avoid automatic system detection. However, if you have used the same payment method and passed the KYC on the secondary account, that sounds like an issue within the casino system. I will have to investigate further, establish a timeline and see the evidence before making a decision.

Thank you, Welle Casino, for provided evidence. Much appreciated.

Dear ZbooR, after reviewing the profile details filled for both accounts, the intent to avoid detection can be clearly seen by the way you changed the parts that could be filled manually. We always ask the players to fill the credentials the official way - as they are written in official IDs like passports and national ID cards - to ensure proper protection and ability to pass the KYC procedures smoothly. Due to changes of details, the system was unable to recognise your identity and only the KYC procedure triggered by your first withdrawal request on a new account, prompted the casino for manual review and discovering the issue.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, I believe the casino acted in accordance with their T&Cs regarding multiple account creation and I will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

However, if you are truly looking for help to fight the gambling addiction, I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.
