Case summary

The player from Spain faced account closure at Winbay Casino without having accepted any bonuses. Despite submitting verification documentation over a month prior, he received no updates and believed the casino had no intention of returning his €450. The issue was resolved after the casino confirmed the player's account was verified and committed to processing the withdrawal. The player later confirmed the resolution and marked the complaint as resolved using the resolved button

On October 23, 2025, I opened an account at Winbay Casino. I used the casino normally, mainly for sports betting and live roulette, until mid-December when the casino blocked my access.


I want to clarify that I never accepted any type of bonus.


Since then, I have communicated with the casino via email. On December 22nd, they informed me that my account had been closed and requested documentation to verify the account, which was sent on December 26th of the same year.


Since that day, they tell me that the verification is being processed, a clear indication that the casino has no intention of returning the €450 I had in the account at the time of closure.



I request your help in order to recover the money that Winbay casino has appropriated in a completely illegitimate and fraudulent manner.


Greetings

Dear lumega,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Did you pass the verification before you lost access to the account?
  • Has the casino indicated that there might be a problem with approving specific documents?
  • Have you received any communication indicating the status of your latest document submission?

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,

Attila

Good morning, I did not complete the verification process before the account was closed. Once it was closed, the casino contacted me requesting information to verify the account. This information was sent on January 26th, and I have not received any further communication from the casino.


During these two months I have written several times asking about the status of the documentation and I have only received the response that they are working on it or that they will pass the communication on to the corresponding department.

Good morning, I have already attached the complete list of conversations with the casino to your email.


These documents show how, since December 26th, when I sent the documents for verification, the casino has been delaying the process with the clear intention of not paying the money that it has illegally appropriated.




Greetings

Hello lumega,

We would like to update you that due to Attila, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Attila has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Attila will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Good morning Barbora, I am writing to inform you that the casino has refunded the outstanding money I had in my casino account at the time of its closure.


As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed.


Many thanks to the Casinoguru team and especially to you Barbora, because without your help it would have been impossible to recover the money.


Thank you so much for everything.
