Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Alberta, who lived close to Saskatchewan's border, had her winnings confiscated by the casino due to suspicion of using a VPN to bypass restrictions. The player denied these claims and believed the confusion had been caused by frequently switching between Alberta and Saskatchewan cell towers. The casino had accused the player of accessing a NetEnt game, which was restricted in her region. After a discussion, the casino agreed to restore the player's winnings on the condition that she would not play any restricted games in the future. The player agreed to this condition. The casino had since returned the confiscated winnings to the player.

I live in Alberta but it won't let me change it to that and that is the problem I am having with this casino they think I am purposely bypassing the blockers and using a vpn to play NetEnt games. I have tried explaining to them I live in Lloydminster which is a border city my cellular provider is saskatchewan and I live in Alberta so when I go home my phone switches back and forth between ab and sk cell towers or sometimes my phone connects to my wifi and they have taken my winnings they will not provide me with the proof that I was using a vpn because I have not I know you can't use them why would I purposely chance getting my winnings taken away? I have tried explaining this to them and they just keep accusing me of violating the terms and using a vpn but I absolutely have not. It won't let me upload the full email thread I can forward it if you would like I just need an email address to send it to. Please help thank you.

Dear mirandasharp,

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 the casino specify which Netent game(s) you played that caused this?
  • Do you currently have access to your casino account?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?

If there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hi, as it's stated in tc:

4.2 Using VPN to bypass provider’s block is strictly prohibited and may lead to confiscation of winnings.

and the biggest winnings were in Fruit Shop MegaWays by Netent. The player has used vpn to get access to the Netent games.

I did not use a vpn on your site what so ever most sites don't allow it and why would I purposely risk losing any winnings?

You have used the connection that allows you to play Netent games that are closed for the residence you are stating in the profile. If you want I can restore your winnings against that you will not play the Netent games until you state this residential address (for which Netent games are closed). Do you agree?

Yes I will not play any restricted games on your site. I never did it intentionally, now that I know this I will only play on your site while I'm at home in Alberta so I don't violate your terms again.
