The player from Ireland had been locked out of his Loco Win account without warning, with €3,000 in balance. He had been informed that the account was closed due to suspicion of a "manipulative game strategy," but the casino hadn't provided any specific proof of this. The casino was willing to refund the player's initial deposits, but had confiscated the winnings. Despite the player's attempts to verify his account and communicate with the casino, he received no further responses. We had attempted to mediate the issue, but due to the casino's history of non-cooperation, we were unable to resolve the complaint and had to mark it as 'unresolved.' This was going to affect the casino's overall rating.

On Friday 30/10/2023, I was actively playing on the Loco Win platform and had successfully accumulated a balance of €3,000. However, without any prior warning or explanation, I was suddenly locked out of my account. This action by the casino has left me in a state of distress and uncertainty, as I had a substantial amount of money in my account.
I attempted to address this issue by reaching out to the casino's customer support, and the representative I spoke to, named Diane, informed me that I would receive an email regarding my account from the relevant department. However, I have yet to receive any communication or resolution in this matter.
This situation is deeply concerning to me, as it not only involves a substantial sum of money but also questions the fairness and transparency of the casino's actions. I believe that I deserve an explanation for the sudden lockout of my account and a resolution that is in line with the terms and conditions outlined
After they sent me this email
" I am writing to inform you that after an internal investigation, management has decided to close your account. As per our bonus term and condition:
1.23. We reserve the right to audit your game play/transaction logs. You hereby consent in advance for us to do so. If, after an audit, it transpires that you participated, or attempted to participate, in a manipulative game strategy to take advantage from the bonus being rewarded to you from the casino, we hold the right to deny, withhold, revoke or withdraw your entitlement to any promotion, winnings or bonus, or terminate your association with our website and/or block your account. In such circumstances, we shall be under no obligation to refund any funds that may be in your account other than your original deposit amounts.
We have subtracted your balance. Kindly provide us with a wallet address where we can send your initial deposit back. We'll wait for your response. "
No proof no evidence what strategy? I just click play and win? When I win a certain amount they lock me out.

Hello ndabanatho,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Locowin Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus? What kind of games were you playing? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Dear ndabanatho,
Unfortunately, we have come to the point, where we are not able to move forward with this complaint. Generally, we would now try to get in touch with the casino and ask for their explanation, however, this one has 15+ cases closed as "No Reaction Policy," which clearly shows the casino is not interested in cooperating with us.
Sadly, we are forced to close your complaint as "unresolved."This will affect the overall rating of the casino. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue however, the decrease of rating caused by unresolved complaints could change the casino's approach.
Regrettably, we have no other choice since it seems to be a common practice of Locowin Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Please check all our previous failed attempts to negotiate.
The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.
