Case summary

8 months ago

The player from Switzerland had had their bonus winnings cancelled due to a violation of promotional rules. The player had disputed the casino's claim of bonus abuse and the complaint had been taken to the regulator, which had ruled in favor of the casino. The casino had offered a partial payment of $1,000, which the player had initially declined. After further discussion and reevaluation by the casino under new management, the offer had been upheld and the player had accepted. The player's account had been verified, and they had successfully received the $1,000 settlement. The complaint had then been marked as resolved.

Hello, I registered at goldwin.com 2 weeks ago (recommended by casino guru) and redeemed the 200% 1st deposit bonus. So $ 100 deposited and get a $ 200 bonus. Then the wagering requirements have all been correctly met. Upgraded to $ 11,000 and then downgraded to $ 5,000. Payout $ 4000 pending for 2 weeks. $ 1000 still on account. Today I received an email that the bonus is higher than the deposit (which is logical with a 200% bonus). Therefore all winnings have been deleted. This can not be!!


Please help me or how should I proceed? Completely incomprehensible to me.


Thank you in advance.

Dear Pxpain,

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 receive any explanation of which exact rule has been breached and why your withdrawal has been cancelled? Wasn’t the accusation related to a maximum bet allowed during the bonus wagering?

Ideally, please forward any relevant communication to petronela.k@casino.guru.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hello Pxpain.


We consider the rule what the casino used as unfair. We are mentioning the information about unfair bonus rules in our review too:

The whole situation is, from our perspective, very absurd.

Just one thing is unclear for me - I can't find this 200% FD promotion, could you please tell me where did you find it?

I would like to invite the casino representative into the case and explain the whole situation.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes I agree! I registered and when I made the deposit there was a 100% bonus and a 200% bonus on offer. I then selected this one. $ 100 deposited and receive $ 200 bonus.

That would be the worst fraud if I don't get my payout .. Thank you very much for your efforts and hope that everything will quickly become positive!

Hello Team,


Thanks for bringing this to our notice.


I checked with the Team in charge and they already notified the user as to the reason(s) for the void.


As informed, there is currently a bonus abuse group identified on our end. They registered without affiliate codes, and exhibit the same pattern as multiple other users.


We currently don't have organic traffic as a new casino, except for bonus abusers group targeting us and this needs to be curbed greatly.

Hello team guru


First of all, thank you very much for your commitment to this cause. I really appreciate it! Otherwise I really don't know what I could do to get justice.

First the reason that the bonus was higher than the deposit (completely absurd nonsense) and now I hear for the first time about any bonus group .. whatever that should be, I have never heard anything like it and definitely have nothing to do with something like that . I'm a normal player and just want everything to be fair. And in a chat with goldwin I was once assured that the payout will be carried out soon, everything was ok (after asking several times) and then I got the information from goldwin that they had already made many payouts in the last few days and that I would therefore have to wait it is treated as 1st priority .. everything is just lying! Am so disappointed with this casino!

I completely understand your feelings. Curacao has 4 master licenses, and the one where you submit a complaint is the best. They are responding to player complaints, and their judgments are mostly fair. In this case, you didn't do anything wrong.

We will close the complaint as unresolved until you get a response from licensing authority.

Please contact us when you get a final response from them, and we will close the complaint accordingly. (matej@casino.guru)

Hello Manuel,

 

Hope this email finds you well.

This is in light of your Casino Guru complaint. 

The actions taken by our team were legit and taken in line with our licensing authority's guidelines. 

Nevertheless, we would like to resolve the matter with you. The management has decided to offer you a payment of 1,000 USD. 

Should you accept this amount, we would like to end the dispute and settle the matter. By reaching this understanding, the case should be considered resolved from your side.

 

Please let us know should you accept the offer and agree to resolve the dispute as such, and we will arrange the payment to you in the shortest time possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello matej,

after i got an offer from goldwin to see the thing as done if i accept 1000 $. However, the difference is far too big to take such an offer seriously, especially after such a long time of lack of insight or accommodating.


In order to offer a quick solution, I made a fair offer from my point of view. However, this was rejected by goldwin without much comment.


what possibilities are there now to finally get my honestly won money? Since I didn't do anything wrong and goldwin just doesn't want to withdraw.

As already described, I registered with goldwin as normal. Then I wanted to deposit with a visa credit card, but that didn't work because goldwin, as I was told by the live support team, that there are system problems and I should choose another deposit method. Then I accepted the 200% first deposit bonus and deposited it with Skrill. Then everything was implemented correctly and played for several hours a day for 2 weeks. I also continued to play when the bonus had long been implemented. Played up to over $ 11,000 and then decided to withdraw at least $ 5,000 safely. The live support assured me several times that everything was OK and the payment was made promptly.


so what am I supposed to have done wrong ?!

We received from you the explanation of unusual traffic, which was used as an excuse to void the winnings (which we explained and we sent you our internal files to support this). We also have a response from the regulator, but we are missing the proof based on which the regulator decided. Please send this proof to us so we can also look at it and evaluate if the reasons for the accusation are still valid.

Hello matej


Do you see exactly what I mean, goldwin simply refuses to pay out my winnings! here are the ridiculous reasons given by goldwin which you sent the curacao authority as a reason.


Main reasons listed below:

User was flagged by the fraud & risk teams, and is part of a bonus abuse group and joined our Casino without any affiliate tag.

GoldWin is a new casino that counts mostly on affiliate traffic

This specific 200% bonus up to 200 USD was maximized by multiple such users and the casino was targeted around the same day by the group.

Skrill was the deposit method which is very common for such cases.


Incomprehensible!!! What a scam casino!

I see how many cases this casino have. And for sure they do not respond because they dont want to pay my honestly winnings. I did nothing wrong and we also had the proof of that. They could do at least a deal maybe to pay 4500$ or 4000$ but they know normally they have to pay the amount of 5000$. But as many players openend a case with this casion, for sure It's seems to be a scam because of all the proof. It would be a wonder If they do the right thing.

Hello Matej and Manuel,


As discussed with the CasinoGuru team, the casino is currently under a different management and we have reviewed this case based on the evidence that is available at this time.


We can see that this complaint was also filed with the casino's regulator at that time (Curaçao eGaming) on April 14th, 2021 and was closed in favor of the operator on July 02, 2021. The player has not appealed this decision and therefore the regulator's decision is both binding and final for both the player and the operator.


Given that this case is very old we do not have the possibility to review the relevant logs and evidence that was provided to the regulator and upon which their decision was made.


We can also see that the casino management at that time extended an exception to the player - offering a partial payment of USD 1000 in order to also close the CasinoGuru complaint in a positive note, offer which was declined by the player.


Given all these facts, if the player agrees, we can uphold the offer for the partial payment of USD 1000, which will be credited to the casino account and immediately be withdrawn from the account. The player will have to submit full documentation to verify the account in order for the payment to be processed.


Also, upon checking the player's account, we noticed that there is still an active balance of USD 100 available on the account, which can also be withdrawn along with the amount mentioned above.


With regards,

Eugenié Lacroix

Hi, thanks for your response. For sure I am still not happy because I had $5000 in my account but I would accept the deal of $1000 If I am sure that the payment will be done immediately after the verification. Can you tell me what you need for the verification? I already sent all documents when all this happened.

Public
Public
8 months ago

Hello Manuel,


Thank you for your confirmation!


The amount has been credited to your casino account balance where you currently have USD 1100 available for withdrawal.


You will need to request the withdrawal from the cashier page and provide the following documents for verification:

  • Proof of ID (A valid (not expired) government-issued ID, such as: passport or national identity card. Both sides of the document are required).
  • Proof of Address (A utility bill (electricity, water bill) or a bank statement showing your residential address, not older than 3 months).
  • Proof of Payment (Screenshot of your Skrill account details).


You can either upload them directly on the Identity Verification page under My Account or send them via email to finance@goldwin.com.


Once you request the withdrawal and send the documents, please let me know so I can make sure it gets handled promptly.


With regards,

Eugenié Lacroix

Hi Manuel,


I have reviewed the uploaded documents and you will need to also provide a photo of the backside of your National ID card.


You should be able to initiate the withdrawal at any time as the option isn't blocked if the account is not verified.


For your jurisdiction we aren't able to process the payment with Bank Transfer, however, you should be able to request the withdrawal either with Skrill or using Crypto.


Please let me know if you need any additional info!

I had 5000$ in my account and they stole It from me, just deleted my balance... If there is something extra from your side for me, I would appreciate It. If not it's also ok. thanks anyways a little bit got back of my winnings.
