Stay away from this casino
it is a purely fraudulent casino
I deposited a total of 700 euros and then managed to win up to 2980 euros without a bonus.
I verified and got mail.
"
Please note that we have checked your documents and your identity is now verified."
then my withdrawal was canceled and my player account blocked.
on the grounds that I am an Italian citizen. I live in Germany since I was born here and I have an Italian passport. Or nationality.
what a sick shit this casino
Reason is Italian citizens are not allowed to play in this casino.

Dear FabioFabio,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. Have you made any successful withdrawals before? Could you please clarify which country you filled in when registering your account? Did you always play from Germany?

I hope we will help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
I have not yet made a payment in luckybird. But in other casinos it has always worked. This is the first time that I have problems with the payment.
When registering, I always gave my German address in all casinos. I have another. Because I was born in Germany and live here. And I've always played from Germany.
My account has been blocked by luckybird.
The money I won was retained by luckybird (profit 2980 euros.)
No reply to my emails.
My personal private deposit of 700 euros was withheld and they don't even want to pay me that.
First I got an email from luckybird that I was successfully identified, but then I made a withdrawal request which was then canceled by Luckybird,
In the email from Lucky Bird
Stood on it:
We were forced to cancel the winnings received since the last deposit, but your deposit is safe and intact in the profile section of your account - you can continue playing. Please pay attention to the reason for the cancellation to avoid future cancellations of withdrawals.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we act in accordance with Casino Rules No. 10.4.3.4.
You blocked me, I can't do anything anymore.
What they keep telling me why I don't get any money is that I have an Italian passport. And for the country Italy the casino is blocked. But Germany is not blocked and I'm playing from Germany and living in Germany since I was born.
I didn't do anything wrong all the papers I uploaded are all in order the date hasn't expired either so I can identify myself well with my means of payment I did that.
The fact is, from one day to the next, I was blocked and I no longer get an answer. Oh yes, I called there too and they told me that I had broken the rules of the game because of the story with the pass and I said that I wanted to read an email with the exact violation where it says in the rules of the game because everything is in English. I was told they would send me the replies but no longer.

I made a total of 4 deposits at luckybird. A total of 700 euros.
my account balance at the casino was 2980 euros. And now they didn't even return my deposit of 700 euros, but in the end only 186.50 euros.
A casino that only collects deposits!

Hi FabioFabio,
Thank you for the screenshots. If we take a look at the registration form, there is no word of citizenship. You only have to fill out "Country". If you were born in Germany and have been living there since, you obviously chose Germany as your country and did nothing wrong. You are eligible for the full winnings.

Dear LuckyBird Casino team,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, we can't agree with your decision to confiscate the player's winnings. FabioFabio was born in Germany and has been living there since so it's perfectly normal that he chose Germany in the registration form. Anyone else would do the same. If he can prove it, he should get paid in full. If he doesn't, I'm afraid, the complaint will be closed as unresolved.

Hello casino guru
My casino account is activated again but my account balance is zero euros. I didn't get the remaining 1880 euros either. Do they really think I'm playing again since they activated my account and sent me an email confirming my address. (Outrageous).

Hi FabioFabio,
Thank you for the update, let's try to ask the casino for a reply one last time. If there's no response, the complaint will become unresolved.

Hi FabioFabio,
Unfortunately, it seems that the casino stopped responding entirely. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. 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 rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to respond and change its position, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (info@curacaolicensing.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Peter
