Case summary

5 days ago

The player from Germany's withdrawal of €2,000 in crypto is short by €220, as the casino used a different exchange rate than the market rate. He incurred an extra fee when depositing, and finds it unacceptable to receive less than the approved amount.

The casino approved my withdrawal of €2000 in crypto, but they only paid €1780. When I asked, the casino insisted they use a different exchange rate than the market rate. This makes no sense because I had to pay the market rate (+€50 fee, which I can live with) when depositing. However, it's absolutely unacceptable that I don't receive my full €2000, but instead €220 less. I am attaching evidence and

communication
along with it.

Dear lolzgamer12099,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint.

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you're facing regarding your cryptocurrency withdrawal. To better understand your situation, I’d like to ask a few questions:

  • Could you please confirm if the casino mentioned any specific terms or policies regarding exchange rates or withdrawal fees when using cryptocurrencies?
  • Have you received any further clarification from the casino on why they used a different exchange rate for your withdrawal compared to your deposit?
  • Do you have a breakdown of the €220 discrepancy, and has the casino explained whether this is due to exchange rates or any other fees?
  • Could you confirm if the withdrawal was processed in full before the fee was deducted by a third-party payment processor?

It’s important to note that usually, we do not hold casinos accountable for unexpected fees if they can prove that they sent the full amount and that the fee was applied later by a third-party processor.

Your cooperation in providing these details will help us investigate and work towards a resolution.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela


P.S. Please feel free to forward any additional communication or evidence to petronela.k@casino.guru.

Dear Petronela,




I found no reference to fees in the terms and conditions. The employees in the live chat also constantly denied that there were fees and claimed that the average market exchange rate was used, which is simply not true.




The breakdown of €220 is visible in my screenshots. I don't know if the casino underpaid €220 or if a third party deducted €220. But as I said, according to the casino, they paid according to the average exchange rate and no fee was charged (see screenshot), which is factually incorrect.

Hi lolzgamer12099,

  • I’m sorry, but could you clarify which currency you used when depositing funds, playing in your casino account, and for the subsequent withdrawal?
  • Additionally, regarding the other withdrawal processed on October 20th, did you experience the same issue with this transaction?

Any details you can provide would be very helpful for us in understanding the full scope of the situation.

Thank you.

Dear Petronela,




Deposit was also crypto(Ltc), games were played in euros, withdrawals in Crypto(ETH).


Yes, the problem was the same with the second withdrawal, but I only got €30 too little. It seems that the casino charges a 10% fee on crypto withdrawals. So in total I was cheated out of €250.

Hi lolzgamer12099,

I'm truly sorry for any frustration this has caused. As the casino has previously explained, they apply a different exchange rate for cryptocurrency transactions than rates listed on popular sources like search engines or exchange platforms. This means that the 10% difference you noticed was not an intentional deduction but rather a result of the exchange rate they use.

Since this wasn’t the first time you experienced this difference, we hope you were already somewhat aware of it. Additionally, the casino has reviewed your case and declined to offer any compensation.

Without new evidence indicating that a refund is warranted, we’ll unfortunately have to reject your complaint. Please reach out if you need any further clarification or have other questions—we’re here to help as best we can.

Dear Petronela,




That's the thing: If it were just a matter of different exchange rates, that would be OK. But then this exchange rate should have applied to the deposit. But that wasn't the case, the casino charged the market rate + 5% fee when making the deposit, which makes your argument invalid. And no, I didn't know about it beforehand. My previous withdrawals were made with Jeton eWallet without a fee, but the casino has removed this withdrawal option, so crypto is now the only option available.

My name is Kubo, and I will be handling your complaint moving forward. If there have been any updates regarding this case since the last communication, please feel free to share them with me.

I would also like to invite representatives from IceCasino to join this discussion and provide any relevant information that could assist in resolving this issue promptly.


Dear IceCasino,

I am writing to request a detailed explanation regarding a recent withdrawal that was lower than expected. Could you please clarify the reasons behind the discrepancy in the amount received by the player? Specifically, I would appreciate a breakdown of how the final withdrawal amount was calculated, including any fees or deductions that were applied.

Your assistance in providing this information is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to your response.


Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.


Best Regards,

Kubo

I can't give you that because after I submitted this complaint three weeks ago, you blocked my account due to an alleged gambling addiction (which I know nothing about). The account had over €2000 on it, which you withheld from me in addition to the €220 fee. I have already written numerous emails confirming that I am not addicted to gambling, but they were ignored. When I tried to log in, a second account was opened with exactly the same login details (it's incomprehensible that that's even possible). I asked for this account to be deleted; I just want to finally access my account on which I played with €2000!

Dear lolzgamer12099,

It seems highly unlikely that a second account was created using the same credentials as your first account. Could you please double-check the details again?


Dear IceCasino,

Thank you for your response. In the meantime, would it be possible to locate the player’s account using the transaction ID or the wallet address provided in the screenshot included in the first post of this thread?


Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Kobu,




I'm just repeating what IceCasino support told me when I asked him why all my money had disappeared from my account. He said there were two accounts with this email and my original account was blocked because of an alleged gambling addiction. He told me to write to support to say that I don't have a gambling addiction but it didn't work.

Because after I filed a complaint about the €220 fee, my account was blocked and still had over €2000 in it. So in total I am missing at least €2220.

Dear lolzgamer12099

We have a suggestion - let's unblock your account and apply the gambling limits, just for you to check out your gaming activity, etc.

Obviously, you should understand, that the operator could not block your account due to gambling addiction with thousands on a balance.

The issue with commission will be resolved right after we get the clarifications re the disputed amounts.


Kind regards

Yes, please unblock my account as I have asked you several times by email. I also find it very strange that you have blocked my account with active credit and have not initiated any withdrawals, even though I never said I had a gambling addiction.




Please just unlock my account so I can finally withdraw my balance.

Hello Everyone,

I can see there has been a significant amount of communication added throughout the time this complaint has been open. I want to express my gratitude for IceCasino's active participation and dedication, as well as the player's cooperation in addressing all the casino's inquiries.

Given the complexity of this case, particularly with the secondary account somehow being linked to the primary account - yet seemingly devoid of any transactions or gameplay - I would like to extend the investigation timeline to look into this matter further. I’ve already reached out to the casino representative via an external channel, but as the investigation has just commenced, there are no updates to share at this time.

Rest assured, as soon as I receive any new information, I will promptly provide an update here.


Thank you all for your continued cooperation and understanding.

I would also like to add that if someone really requested to change my email address, it is probably a scammer who wanted to gain control of my account. I just hope that the casino did not allow this and that my €2000 is safe.
