Velobet Casino - Pelaajan tili on suljettu ja voitot takavarikoitu.

I am submitting a complaint regarding Velobet, operated by Santeda International B.V. (Curaçao OGL license OGL/2024/1798/1048).

I played at the casino for approximately two months and made 77 deposits of £20 each using my personal debit card. I did not use any bonuses or promotional offers at any time.

I won £928 from my deposited funds. When attempting to complete KYC verification in order to withdraw my winnings, the automated verification system failed and instructed me to contact KYC support via email.

I followed the instructions and sent my bank statement, debit card photo, and driving licence for manual verification.

Instead of completing verification, the operator permanently closed my account and confiscated my £928 winnings. They stated that the decision was made at their sole discretion and refused to provide any specific reason.

They only refunded my last £20 deposit.

The operator initially stated that my case was under review, but they have since stopped responding to my emails.

I believe this action is unfair and lacks transparency, particularly because:

No bonus was used

My own payment method was used

Deposits and gameplay were accepted over two months

I attempted to fully comply with KYC

I respectfully request assistance in reviewing this matter and helping resolve the dispute.

I have more screenshots of communication with them, deposits, etc if necessary just ask

Important notice:

Casino Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino Guru and does that, do not share any information.

Dear krabiz,

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.

• Could you please advise which games you focused on - slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
• Has the casino indicated that there might be a problem with approving specific documents?
• Have you used any VPN or IP-masking software to alter your real location while accessing the casino website?

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

Dear user,

I'm Romi, and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. If there have been any new updates regarding this case since the last information provided, please let me know.

I would like to invite the Velobet Casino's representatives to join this discussion and provide any available information to help resolve this issue.

Dear Velobet Casino,

Could you please provide detailed information about this case?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,

Romi

Hey Romi & Velobet

I would like to provide an update regarding this case.

After the casino confiscated my winnings of £928 and stopped responding to my emails, I attempted to resolve the matter through PayPal by opening disputes for my deposits.

Most of the disputes were denied because PayPal stated that gambling transactions are generally not covered under their buyer protection policy. However, one transaction for £20 was refunded after additional review.

Aside from this single refund, the main issue remains unresolved. The casino permanently closed my account during the KYC process and confiscated the remaining £908 in winnings obtained from my deposited funds without providing a specific explanation.

I am still hoping the casino will review this case and return the confiscated balance and or maybe reinstate my account. 🤞🙏

Dear krabiz,

Thank you for your patience. I wanted to let you know that your case is currently under investigation.

Once we have all the details from the investigation, we will provide you with a full update.

We appreciate your understanding while this matter is being reviewed.

Best regards,

Dear Velobet Team,

Thank you for your response.

I appreciate that the case is being reviewed. I would like to reiterate that I fully cooperated with the KYC process and provided all requested documents for verification.

The winnings in question were obtained from my own deposited funds, without the use of any bonuses. I also used my personal payment method and played on the account over an extended period. I didn’t use a VPN services, neither did i break any of your rules i was just playing and having fun.

I look forward to your update.

Kind regards,

Janis

Thank you all for your cooperation on this case.

Dear user,

Please inform us whenever there is any update.

Best regards,

Romi

Hi guys, still waiting for a response 🙁

Hi guys, another week gone by still no reply from Velobet

Dear Velobet Casino,

Could you please update us regarding this case?

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Romi

Dear Romi & Velobet Casino Team,

We would like to inform you that our relevant team has now completed the review of the case, including the KYC and payout assessment.

The final decision and any applicable payout processing will be finalized and updated next week.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation while this matter was being reviewed.

Best regards,

Dear Romi,

Thank you for your patience.

We would like to provide a final update regarding this case. Following the completion of our internal review, the user accepted the outcome of the investigation and proceeded to withdraw the remaining balance of £20, which was available on the account after the applied decision.

At this stage, the case can be considered resolved from our side.

Best regards,

Velobet Team

Dear Velobet Team, Romi,

I would like to clarify that I have not accepted the outcome of your investigation.

The £20 withdrawal you referred to was simply the return of my last deposit and does not represent acceptance of your decision or resolution of this case.

As stated in your original email:

"However, we give you the opportunity to withdraw your last deposit. Kindly request a withdrawal using an appropriate payment method, after that the account will be permanently suspended."

This clearly shows that the £20 was offered as a return of my last deposit following account closure, not as a settlement of the confiscated winnings.

The main issue remains unresolved. My winnings of £928, obtained from my own deposited funds without the use of any bonuses, were confiscated after I attempted to complete KYC verification. After deducting the £20 returned, £908 is still outstanding.

I would also like to note that I have been requesting a clear explanation for the confiscation of funds since the beginning of this case, but no specific reason has been provided so far.

I believe this matter could be resolved fairly with transparency and a clear explanation.

From my perspective, this case is not resolved.

Kind regards, 

Janis

Dear Velobet Casino,

Please explain the situation in detail as I have not received anything from you until now, nor here nor by email.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Romi
