Case summary

3 weeks ago

The player from Finland had deposited funds at Happyhugo casino and fulfilled the wagering requirements, but the casino refused to pay out the winnings and closed the gaming account. The Complaints Team had attempted to mediate the issue by reaching out to the casino for clarification on the account closure and forfeiture of winnings, but received no response despite multiple attempts. As a result, the complaint was marked as 'unresolved' in the system, and the player was advised to contact the Curaçao Antillephone N.V. Licensing Authority for further assistance.

I made a deposit at Happyhugo casino and played according to the rules. After winning the specified amount and completing the wagering requirements, I made a withdrawal request. Despite multiple contacts, Happyhugo refused to pay out my winnings and instead shut down my gaming account.

Dear Leevix16,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Happy Hugo Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Could you please advise how long were you a player of the casino and when exactly was your account blocked? 
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports) 
  • Which bonus have you accepted and played in the casino? Please provide a screenshot or a link to the promotion.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Thank you very much, Leevix16, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Kubo (jakub.m@casino.guru) who will be at your service. However, I would like to warn you that it seems to be a common practice of Happy Hugo Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Regardless of many unresolved complaints marked "No Reaction Policy", we keep on trying.

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 Leevix16,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved.

I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.


In the meantime, I recommend contacting the Curaçao Antillephone N.V. Licensing Authority and submitting a complaint by sending a summary of your issue to complaints@gaminglicences.com. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to assist players.

You can find more information on how to properly submit a complaint to the regulator at https://casino.guru/submitting-complaints-to-regulators.

Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or if you receive a response from the regulator by emailing me at jakub.m@casino.guru.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Kubo
