Complaint summary

I am submitting this complaint because a significant amount of money was deducted from my casino balance after I had won a tournament prize, and despite multiple requests, I have not received a clear contractual basis for this deduction.

On 30 May, I won a €15,000 prize in the Spring Splash tournament. After the prize was credited, my account balance reached €15,821.43.

The funds remained in my account, I was able to play normally, and the casino approved withdrawals. I successfully withdrew €8,000 before my balance was later reduced to €10,000 due to what the casino described as the maximum win limit of my Gigablast 222% welcome bonus.

I understand that the bonus itself may have been subject to a maximum win rule. However, the majority of my balance originated from a €15,000 tournament prize, not from ordinary gameplay winnings.

I have repeatedly asked the casino to provide:

the exact contractual clause stating that a tournament prize is subject to the maximum win limit of the welcome bonus;

confirmation whether the €15,000 tournament prize was included in the maximum win calculation;

a detailed calculation explaining how the deducted amount was determined; and

any tournament-specific terms relied upon in making this decision.

The casino has informed me that the deduction was related to the Gigablast 222% Bonus, but they have not provided the requested clause, calculation, or explanation showing why the €15,000 tournament prize was treated as being subject to the maximum win limit.

I have reviewed the published Bonus Terms and General Terms available on the casino's website and have been unable to locate any clause stating that tournament prizes are considered bonus winnings or are otherwise subject to the maximum win limit of the welcome bonus.

I am therefore requesting that the casino either:

provide the exact contractual basis and detailed calculation supporting the deduction; or

return the deducted funds if no such contractual basis exists.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing. To better understand your situation, please allow me to ask you a few questions:

• Could you please let me know when you last played with the Gigablast 222% Bonus?
• If possible, could you attach a screenshot of your bonus history?
• Have you withdrawn any of the tournament winnings prior to claiming the bonus?

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

Best regards

Attila

I used the Gigablast 222% Bonus while participating in the Spring Splash tournament to accumulate points for the tournament leaderboard. The €15,000 prize was awarded based on my final position on the tournament leaderboard, not as a direct game win.

After the bonus wagering had been completed, I was able to withdraw funds, and the casino approved my withdrawals. Only afterwards was my balance reduced due to what the casino described as the maximum win limit of the Gigablast 222% Bonus.

My concern is not that the bonus itself had a maximum win limit. My concern is that the casino has still not explained the contractual basis for treating the €15,000 tournament prize as being subject to that maximum win limit.

Despite several requests, I have not received:

the exact contractual clause stating that a tournament prize is subject to the maximum win limit of the bonus;

confirmation whether the €15,000 tournament prize was included in the maximum win calculation;

a detailed calculation showing how the deducted amount was determined; or

the specific tournament terms relied upon when making this decision.

Thank you for your response.

In order for us to properly assess the issue, I would like to clarify the exact timeline.

Could you please let us know:

• On what date and at what time did you complete the wagering requirements for the Gigablast 222% Bonus?
• What was your account balance immediately after the bonus was completed?
• Did your balance appear entirely as real money after the wagering was finished?
• Did you continue participating in the Spring Splash tournament only after the bonus had been fully converted into real money, or had you already been earning tournament points while the bonus was still active?

To properly investigate the matter, we will also need your complete game history covering the period from the activation of the Gigablast 222% Bonus until the tournament prize was credited. Please request the game log from the casino in excel format and send it to me once you receive it. You can reach me via email at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I activated the Gigablast 222% Bonus on 26 May 2026 at 17:39.

I completed the wagering requirements later that evening. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the exact time.

My account balance immediately after the bonus was converted into real money was €821.43.

Yes, my entire balance appeared as real money immediately after the wagering requirements had been completed.

No, I had already been earning points in the Spring Splash tournament while the Gigablast 222% Bonus was still active. I used the bonus funds to participate in the tournament and accumulate tournament points.

Regarding the requested game history, I do not have it in Excel format. However, the casino previously provided me with a DSAR file containing my game history for the relevant period. This is the only game history I have available.

I have attached the DSAR file to this email and hope it will be sufficient for your investigation. If you require any further information, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Hello Jaakko111,

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

Thank you for your response.

Before we proceed, I would like to clarify two points:

• Could you please explain how the deducted amount was calculated? Please also describe the sequence of events, including your account balance after the €15,000 tournament prize was credited, after your withdrawal(s), and after the deduction.
• Could you please clarify exactly when the tournament points that secured your €15,000 prize were accumulated?

Thank you in advance.

When the €15,000 tournament prize was credited to my account after the tournament had ended, the full amount was added to my player balance. After that, I was able to withdraw part of the prize money to my bank account. Later, however, my player balance was reduced so that only €10,000 remained. I was informed that this was due to the bonus terms, which impose a maximum winnings limit of €10,000.

The deducted amount was calculated by reducing the original €15,000 tournament prize by €5,000, leaving €10,000 in my player balance. However, before this deduction was made, I had already withdrawn part of the prize money to my bank account.

The sequence of events was as follows:

After the tournament ended, the €15,000 tournament prize was credited to my player account.

I then withdrew part of the prize money to my bank account.

Only after these withdrawals did the operator reduce my player balance, citing the €10,000 maximum winnings limit under the bonus terms.

The tournament points that secured my €15,000 prize were accumulated during the tournament before it ended. The final prize was determined only after the tournament had concluded and the final results had been confirmed. I do not know the exact time at which the decisive tournament points were accumulated.

Hello Jaakko111,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter and to see if I can help somehow.

We would like to invite N1 Casino to join the conversation.

Dear N1 Casino Team,

Could you please provide your explanation of the course of events and address the player's questions, which do not appear to have been sufficiently answered so far?

I would also like to understand why winnings from a tournament, which is usually materially different from a standard bonus promotion, would be subject to the "usual" bonus maximum win limitation, and which specific rule in your Terms and Conditions provides for this restriction. I would also appreciate a detailed calculation showing how the deducted amount was determined.

If there is any information or evidence relevant to this matter that cannot be shared publicly, please forward it to me directly at michal.k@casino.guru for an independent review.

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

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.

Dear Michal,

First of all, please accept our apologies for the delay in responding to this complaint.

We have sent you a detailed explanation of the case via email, including the background and the current status of our review.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dear N1 Casino Team,

Thank you for your email. I have responded back with some additional enquiries and am awaiting your reply.

Dear Jaakko111,

I have been informed that there was initially some misunderstanding regarding the origin of the disputed winnings. The casino appears to have associated them with a bonus you had used; however, it has now been clarified that the winnings originated from a prize awarded through an external tournament operated by the game provider. This issue, therefore, appears to have been resolved.

The remaining step is the completion of the verification process. If my information is correct, you have been asked to provide Source of Funds and/or Source of Wealth documentation.

Please submit the requested documents to the casino team at your earliest convenience. Once the verification has been successfully completed, I trust that the casino will proceed with the payment of your winnings.

Okay thank you michal.

Dear Jaakko111,

Could you please confirm whether you have provided the casino with all the requested documents? If so, please specify when you submitted them and forward any confirmation of their delivery or receipt.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could send me all the documents you submitted to the casino as part of the verification process at michal.k@casino.guru. This will help me assess whether the materials provided should be sufficient to complete the verification.

I have not been able to provide all of the requested documents because I currently live in another city, and some of the documents require information from my parents. My parents are understandably not very comfortable with sharing their personal information with a casino, so this has unfortunately become a problem for me.

I am willing to cooperate and provide any documents that I can personally obtain, but I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether there are any alternative documents or verification methods that would be acceptable in this situation.

I sent you by email all the complaint messages I have sent to N1 Casino regarding this case.

Dear Jaakko111,

Thank you for your clarification. I understand that you currently live in a different city and that your family members have concerns about sharing their personal information with an online casino. I also appreciate your willingness to cooperate and provide the documents available to you.

However, N1 Casino, like any other licensed casino, is required to verify the source of funds using independent supporting evidence. Considering that the declared gift amounted to a significant amount and was allegedly provided by your parents and grandmother, your explanation alone is not sufficient to complete the verification.

In these circumstances, the casino’s request for a signed declaration from each donor, accompanied by a copy of their identification document, appears fully justified.

If your family members are unwilling to provide copies of their identification documents, you may ask them whether they would be able to provide alternative evidence. This could include notarised declarations, written confirmation from a solicitor, official bank statements or transfer confirmations showing the gifts, or other official documentation that clearly establishes the origin and transfer of the funds from your family members to you.

Please note, however, that any alternative documentation must be approved by the casino’s compliance department, which may still request further information or supporting evidence.

Please specify which alternative documents you would be able to provide. This will allow us to determine whether they could reasonably satisfy the casino’s verification requirements.

Could you look into this for me? I’ve been having a lot of problems with N1 Casino, especially with their customer service.

Dear Jaakko111,

As you have indicated that your family members are unwilling to provide copies of their identification documents, please specify which alternative documents you would be able to submit. This will allow me to assess whether they could reasonably satisfy the casino’s verification requirements.

I would like to ask whether the bank can provide account transaction records from several years ago, showing money transfers I received from my family members.

Also, N1 Casino has still not credited the money to my gaming account.

Dear Jaakko111,

Your bank may be able to provide historical account statements or transaction records showing the transfers you received from your family members. However, the availability of records from several years ago will depend on your bank’s retention policy.

You will need to contact your bank directly and ask whether it can provide official documentation showing the sender’s and recipient’s details, the dates of the transfers and the amounts involved. Unfortunately, I cannot verify the availability of these records or contact the bank on your behalf.

Such documentation could help support your explanation regarding the source of the funds. Please contact your bank first and let me know which records it is able to provide. Once this has been established, we can ask the casino whether those documents could be accepted as an alternative or whether further supporting evidence would still be required.

Hi Michal,

I would like to clarify that a portion of my current wealth consists of a fund held with Säästöpankki.

The acquisition value of the fund is €8,813.94, and its current value is €19,621.31. The increase in value is therefore €10,807.37 (122.62%).

I can provide an official document from my bank showing the ownership of the fund, its acquisition value and its current value.

Would this documentation be sufficient to verify this portion of my wealth, or would you require any additional documents?

Kind regards,

Jaakko

Dear Jaakko111,

Will the document you mentioned also confirm that you received transfers from your family members?

I’ll check with the bank just to be sure.

Dear Jaakko111,

Thank you. I look forward to receiving your response, along with any official documentation your bank is able to provide showing the sender's and recipient's details, the dates of the transfers, and the amounts involved, so that we can determine whether there is a way to move the case forward, though this will ultimately depend on the casino's assessment.

Nevertheless, I strongly recommend speaking with your family members and asking for their assistance in providing the casino's requested documents. Obtaining these documents would certainly be considerably more helpful and would provide the clearest and most effective route towards completing the verification and resolving the matter.

Dear Jaakko111,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Has the casino told you exactly which documents they accept?

Dear Jaakko111,

I am a little surprised by your question. As indicated in my previous response, I was awaiting your update together with any official documentation your bank can provide showing the sender’s and recipient’s details, the transfer dates, and the amounts involved.

This information would help me determine whether there is a reasonable way to move the case forward.

Have you contacted your bank about obtaining these records? If so, please clarify what documents or information it is able to provide.

The casino has already specified which documents it requires. I therefore continue to recommend speaking with your family members and asking for their assistance in obtaining them. Providing the requested documents would offer the clearest and most effective route towards completing the verification and resolving the matter.

It remains your responsibility to provide sufficient evidence confirming the source of the funds. Without such evidence, I will unfortunately be unable to move the complaint forward. Nevertheless, I will gladly review any relevant official documentation you are able to obtain.
