Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Germany had deposited 180 Euros without any issues, but after three days, they were blocked from logging in due to alleged regional restrictions. Despite contacting support for a refund, the account was permanently closed, citing gambling addiction, and all further communication ceased. The player sought a refund of the deposits. It was determined that the account was blocked due to concerns about potential gambling issues, which the casino had the right to enforce. The player was advised to withdraw the remaining balance, after which the account would be permanently closed. The request for a refund of the deposits was not supported.

I deposited 180 euros in the above-mentioned casino within 3 days without any problems. Every login and registration was done without a VPN. After 3 days I was suddenly unable to log in. Because it was supposedly not possible to play from my country. A pop-up always appeared when I tried to log in.

I then contacted support and requested my deposit back, as I was unable to play because the system always blocked me.

I was then informed that my account would now be closed completely due to gambling addiction and all contact was broken off. I was just about to upload the screenshot to the casino, which shows that registration from Germany is not possible. I also tried using other browsers, but it was always the same.

Chat requests or emails were no longer answered after that.

I would like to have my deposits of 180 euros refunded immediately. After I made my deposits, the casino suddenly denied me access on the grounds that I was not allowed to play from my region and it was also not possible to register again from Germany.

I have attached screenshots of the blocking or the ban on even having an account.

I'm just wondering why they let me open an account officially and without a VPN, let me deposit and sometimes even play, only to then block my account on the grounds that it would be impossible to open an account with them from my region.

Best regards

Hello.

1.I can prove the deposits by email or bank statement.


2. No, I have not received any notice or notification regarding a regional restriction.

Just 3 days after registering and 2 days of paying without any problems, suddenly I got a message saying I could no longer log in.


3. No, I have never contacted the casino or expressed any concerns about my gambling addiction. I also believe that my gambling addiction was or is just an excuse and that this is the reason for this. After I was constantly being shown the message that playing and opening an account from my region is prohibited and not possible, I then bypassed the ban using a VPN, logged in and immediately contacted support and I then demanded back all of my stakes and some of those that I had already played, on the grounds that I do not have or cannot or am not allowed to open an account. And if I do not have or am not allowed to open an account, then my deposits are not possible or prohibited or blocked. And I did not want my account to be reopened either, because if I am not allowed or able to play there, what do I want with an account there? And that is absolute fraud in my eyes. If the casino had blocked my account completely because I was allegedly addicted to gambling or because I had violated any terms and conditions, then I would have had to accept that and would probably have refrained from making any deposits because it would have been too stupid and too much effort and because I probably would have had no chance of getting a refund.

But since there was a regional restriction and blocking and my account was still active, it was just not possible to log in without a VPN. And it was only when I complained to support and pointed out that if I hadn't been allowed to open an account at all, or if it was supposedly impossible to play from my region, then all my deposits were also prohibited and couldn't have been effective. And only then was I informed that my account would now be completely blocked due to my gambling addiction. Which is what happened and after that I couldn't log in at all.

(You can see from the screenshots that the regional blocking was there first, without any account suspension or anything like that.)


4. I don't know, and when I requested a withdrawal, I canceled it and played again partially. But I'm not sure. In any case, no withdrawal was actively in process.

But that doesn't matter to me, because the point is that after making deposits and playing, my account was no longer usable due to a regional restriction and I supposedly couldn't have opened any account.

And then my deposit, regardless of whether I played or not, is also invalid because I couldn't have had an account in the first place.


5. I don't know exactly. Not much. A few euros more or a few cents.

I didn't pay any more attention to it because I went to support immediately after logging in and the chat was simply closed in the middle of it and then I was no longer able to log in.

I don't want any prize or anything like that because, as you can see from the photos, according to their website I'm not allowed to have a koto from them.

I just want my deposits back and nothing more or less. The pictures don't lie.

I also still have their chat logs, where they tell me that my account is blocked forever because I'm not allowed to have one and it can't be reversed.

I don't want to and am not allowed to have an account with you. So please transfer my deposits back to me. I really feel like I've been ripped off by you. Sorry for the choice of words.

But the pictures don't lie and you can see there. Playing and an account from Germany or my region doesn't exist and shouldn't exist. Therefore, my deposits aren't legal and I don't win either.

Dear sajong777

The casino explained everything above. You last attempt to log in was at 03.06.2024 19:18:38 (UTC), and it failed multiple times, thus the system preventably prohibited the login for 10 mins.

We are kindly asking you to log in and withdraw the 25 eur.


Kind regards

That is an absolute lie and is absolutely not true.


1. I couldn't even log in because I didn't even get that far. On the logout page, the pop-up always appeared automatically, saying that it wasn't possible to register or log in from your region. And there was no way I could have tried to log in, because the system blocks it right from the start, so that the login screen is overlaid by the pop-up with your region blocked.


2. And just suppose I tried to log in several times and didn't succeed and the system locked me out for 10 minutes. Why then don't I get a pop-up or message about too many log-in attempts and that I should log in again at a later time, but instead after several failed attempts the system simply opens a pop-up saying that log-in from your region is not possible. Is that the case? And there was no 10-minute lockout either, I was able to log in after I switched on a VPN and had a different IP.

So my IP was specifically blocked with the message that playing from your region is not possible - where else would I have gotten the screenshots from? And it is surely no problem for you to compare my alleged login attempts, which I must have tried, with the time when the screenshots were taken. And then there would also be a screenshot showing that I am blocked due to several failed attempts.

And they must have the attempts in writing or as a screenshot or whatever the casino has provided as proof.

And if there was such a thing as a failed attempt, then it was only possible after I had to switch on a VPN to bypass the blocking and even get to the logout screen.


3. And now I'm uploading the chat photos. From the chat after the support kicked me out of the chat and then my account was completely blocked. Without any regional restrictions.

And the support there clearly states that I can't log in and that my account is blocked because of gambling addiction and can never be reactivated. Nowhere is there any mention of trying to log in incorrectly and being blocked or anything like that. How many false statements or lies do I have to refute from what the casino is saying.

And strangely enough, I can now log in even though my account was supposedly completely blocked.

And I won't let myself be fooled (sorry) by being blocked after I have made my deposits because German players are suddenly not able to play and no one has communicated with me and has simply kept the 180 Euro deposit.

And only when I contacted someone, like Casino Guru now. And it became a bit more official and public. I supposedly won 25 euros, I can log in again and have access to my account, which supposedly can never be used again because it can no longer be released. And before Casino Guru got involved, I was completely silenced. Emails not answered. No response in the chat and I was sent home with 0 euros and told that I would never be entitled to any money.

And now that there's a bit of pressure and evidence like photos or something similar, someone is coming around to me with 25 euros as a generous offer.

But he fobbed me off beforehand by blocking German players.

So if you can't see the lie and the deception here or can't understand it, then I really don't know what to do. Because it's obvious from the screenshots and excerpts from the chat.

Hello,

We can see you have successfully logged in on 24.06.2024 09:03:04 (UTC)

If you are trying to create a new account, obviously the system will not allow that, showing the error. This would breach T&Cs.


Best regards

Hi sajong777,

I'm sorry, but it appears your account was blocked due to concerns about potential gambling issues. Please understand that the casino has the right to take this action. You should withdraw your remaining balance, after which your account will be permanently closed. Do not attempt to create additional accounts.

Regarding country restrictions, the casino has never used these as a reason to withhold your winnings. We only address such cases if the casino allows players from restricted countries to register and then voids their winnings citing this rule. That is not the situation here. We do not believe you are entitled to a refund of your lost deposits.

Please let me know once you have withdrawn your remaining balance so we can update the complaint accordingly.

Thank you.
