Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Latvia could not withdraw their winnings due to the ongoing investigation. The player was then informed that their winnings had been confiscated due to them using a VPN. The player denied this, but as the casino did not respond to the complaint it was closed as 'unresolved'.

Lapilanders do not process (reject) withdrawal on verified account and ask me for patience as they started as they say time-consuming security investigation.

All requested documents were sent to Lapilanders and already are verified.

Additional info:

50 euro is processed, 1200 still not returned. Get email from Lapilanders:

we identify you have disguised, or interfered, or taken steps to disguise or interfere, in any way with the IP address of any Device used to access our Site (such as using a Virtual Private Network "VPN") .

That is of course lie, I have never used vpn or similar software, my internet work well without it. Asked to provide proof but getting same copy pasted answers that terms are breached without any proof.

Dear Aleksejs,


I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but without success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be done without cooperation from its side.


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


In the meantime, I recommend you to contact the Malta Gaming Authority (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/) and submit a complaint to them. It's a good licensing authority and has better options and tools to help players. Please let me know how the MGA responded (adam.m@casino.guru).

I wish I could be of more help.


Best regards,

Adam
