The player from Kazakhstan topped up his game account with 1000 USDT on December 18, 2024, but his account was blocked immediately afterward without any gameplay or withdrawal. Despite providing the required documents for unblocking, the casino declared his account "irrevocably blocked" without explanation, and he had been unable to access his funds for about 6 months. The Complaints Team attempted to engage the casino for a resolution but received no cooperation, leading to the complaint being marked as "unresolved." The player was advised to consider contacting the gaming regulator for further assistance.

On December 18, 2024, I topped up my game account with 1000 USDT. The money was successfully credited to my balance, but literally immediately, within the same minute, my account was blocked. I didn’t even have time to make a single game transaction or withdraw funds.
Immediately after the blocking, I contacted the support service. At that time, the casino still had a Telegram support channel. The support staff told me that to unblock it, I needed to provide documents confirming my identity and the origin of the funds.
I provided a full set of documents in the shortest possible time: passport, registration and proof of origin of money. After that, there was a long period of ignoring from the casino administration. After a long wait, I received a response that my account was "irrevocably blocked", although I was never told any specific reason for the blocking.
I tried to reapply for clarification and account restoration several times. A few months later I sent another application, but again I was ignored and got the same answer: the account was blocked without the possibility of restoration and without explanation.
Today, about 6-7 months have passed since the account was replenished and blocked. During this entire time, my money - 1000 USDT - remains with the casino, but I cannot use it and it is also impossible to get it back.

Dear joiin,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Whale.io Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.
- Could you please advise how long you were a player at the casino before your account was blocked?
- Was there any deposit or play activity on your player's account before the deposit of 1000 USDT?
- What kinds of documents confirming your identity and the origins of funds have you provided?
- When was the last time you were in contact with the casino regarding the status of your account?
- Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the reasons for account closure and withholding of your funds as evidence? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Tomas

Translation1) I registered and in about 3-5 minutes I topped up my balance. Before the account was blocked, I did not play or do anything else.
2) There were no other deposits or gaming activity prior to the 1000 USDT deposit.
3) I sent a photo of my face, a government document proving my ownership of real estate, a transaction hash, and a screenshot of the funds being sent.
4) The last time I contacted the casino was several months ago, when most of the communication was done via Telegram.
5) Most of the correspondence disappeared after the casino's Telegram account was blocked, but I still have some fragments of the correspondence that I sent to friends. I can provide them, as well as show the error that appears when trying to open an old chat.

Hello, thank you for your reply.
Of course I would like to write to technical support, but there is simply no such opportunity in the casino.
To write to support, you need to be an authorized user, and to be logged into your account, you need to remove the ban, which can only be removed through support.
They have no other means of communication..

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.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. However, the GCB states on its website that they do not handle individual disputes between players and gaming operators. It seems the regulator will only pay attention to complaints regarding potential violations of law. It is possible to contact the GCB via this contact form. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Stefan, Casino.Guru
