MyStake Casino - Player’s winnings were confiscated.

This casino withdrew 1090 euros from my account, claiming that the winnings exceeded the possible winnings from a bonus. However, I did not use any bonus, and I have screenshots showing that I deposited 200 euros and gradually increased my balance to 1090 euros without any type of bonus.

Dear karpint,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. 

• Are you sure you didn't activate any bonuses while making a deposit?
• Could you please post a screenshot of your bonus history here?

Additionally, please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

They gave me a bonus on Saturday or Sunday morning with which I played (I already had 500 of mine in mind) and their bonus was 45. But as I said, I made several bets and lost quite a few (so the bonus money also I would lose it) and as I told you in the first message. On Monday at 8 in the morning I had 0 euros in my account, and I had to make a deposit of 200 and with them I got the 1090 euros that they took from me. I have written to them on several occasions saying that please tell me which legal system they are affiliated with to file a complaint and they have ignored me. I think it would be good if they intervened here to see what they say. Their first responses were arrogant and they closed my chat conversations without the option of reply.

I have requested on more than 5 occasions that you please tell me who I can contact externally to file a claim and they ignore me.

Thank you very much for your reply, karpint. Could you please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru? Alternatively, you can post it here. Thank you in advance.

I just forwarded you an email, with the thread of the conversation that "I have had with them", however I have sent them more than 10 messages in which I indicated that I want them to tell me which external company to go to to mediate and they have always ignored me . I think the best thing is for a member of them to enter the chat and show that I got that money with bonus money

AS I HAVE INDICATED TO YOU, ON SUNDAY WHEN I REQUESTED A BONUS WITH THEM (I DON'T KNOW IF 20-30 EUROS) I HAD 500 EUROS OF MINE IN ACCOUNT, WHO DETERMINES WHICH WON AND LOST BETS I GOT OR LOST WITH THE BONUS MONEY AND WHICH WITH ME MONEY?? HOWEVER, ON MONDAY AT 8 IN THE MORNING I HAD 0 EUROS IN ACCOUNT (AS YOU SEE IN THE CAPTURES) I INCOME 200 EUROS AND WITH THAT MONEY I MANAGED TO REACH THE AMOUNT THEY WITHDRAWN FROM ME

Thank you very much, karpint, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hi karpint,

I have looked at your case and understand the situation. Let me contact the casino and I will do my best to help. I would like to invite MyStake Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.

I see that they make the same case that they made to me….

Hello,

The user has a 10% loyalty cashback bonus according to it the user can withdraw only 5x of the bonus from the winnings, e.g. the user was able to withdraw 225 EUR. However, as the user had a balance of 550 EUR before activating this one, we enabled it to withdraw 800 EUR (more than the sum of these amounts).

We will send you proof regarding that issue.

Kind regards

And what are you going to try with money, I won the bets? With the money from the hype or with the money you already had?

Because when you lose several bets it is assumed that the first thing you lose is the bonus money and therefore it remains at zero.

However, in the morning when I deposited 200 euros... my account was at zero... and it reached 1090 euros.

But like I said. When I had 550 euros of mine and 45 as a bonus….

1) because when I reached 225 euros, which was 5 times the bonus, they didn't take away the excess amount and did they let me continue betting?

2) several bets were made that were lost!!! The bonus money is supposed to be the first thing you lose, right? And therefore the bonus should have been deactivated.

Thank you Mystake Casino team for your email. Let's take a look at the timeline.

1. On 12.07.2024 at 18:12 the player made a deposit of €200, played with the funds and reached €550.
2. On 14.07.2024 05:44 the bonus of €45 with a 5x max cashout was activated and played
3. On 16.07.2024 07:51 there was a withdrawal of €800 (that equals to 5x€45 + €550)
4. 16.07.2024 08:41 there was a "Admin CashDesk Withdraw" of €1090,11

I have the following questions:

1. When was the wagering of the bonus finished?
2. What happened after the bonus was wagered? Were the winnings capped automatically and did the funds (€225) go to the real money balance with the €550?
3. What is "Admin CashDesk Withdraw" of €1090,11?

Those 1090 euros were what they took directly from me…

I have sent them several emails to reach an amicable agreement for everyone... but they do not even answer the emails.

Hello,

1. We don't have an exact time but the bonus was activated on 14-07-2024 and wager on this day approximately.
2. Yes, these winnings turned into real money balances with the current one.
3. It is a deducted amount which has been done manually.

Kind regards

Dear Mystake Casino team,

What do you mean by "we don't have an exact time"? You do have the player's game history, correct? If the winnings were capped correctly and the funds were added to the player's real money balance after the wagering was finished, and the player continued playing with these funds, they should get paid in full.

I HAVE TRIED TO SAY THE SAME IN SEVERAL EMAILS AND THEY DO NOT RESPOND CLEARLY. THEY DID NOT LIMIT MY WINNINGS, NOR DO THEY TELL ME THAT WITH THE LOST BETS WHICH MONEY WAS LOST, WHETHER THE BONUS MONEY OR MY REAL MONEY... THEY CLOSED THEIR END AND THERE IS NO WAY....

AND I AGREE TO REACH A FRIENDLY AGREEMENT WITH THEM...

Hello Peter,

We meant that we don't have an exact time when the bonus wagered fully, we have game history of course.

The user's balance post-bonus activation was 550 EUR, which has been increased by 45 EUR. The user continued to play and earn winnings using the bonus money. Therefore, following our terms, these winnings should be detected, and we have maintained the user's initial balance and a 5x winning amount as a rule.

Kind regards

You are saying it yourselves. I had a balance of 550 euros, and once I added or just reached the maximum with the bonus... the rest that I continued to get was with the money that I already had in my account!!!

I HAD €550 IN MY ACCOUNT (YOU RECOGNIZE IT), AND YOU GAVE ME A BONUS OF €45 (YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT)

AFTER PLAYING ON YOUR WEBSITE... THIS BONUS WAS MULTIPLIED BY 5 (WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM)

BUT AT NO TIME ARE ANY OF THESE THINGS DONE:

-LIMIT THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE BETTING

-YOU LOSE SEVERAL BETS WHILE PLAYING (WHAT MONEY AM I LOSING WITH THOSE BETS, THE BONUS MONEY OR MY REAL MONEY (550 EUROS))

-WHEN I PLACE BETS, WHAT MONEY AM I PLAYING WITH, MY REAL MONEY (550e) OR BONUS MONEY?

- SO YOUR MISSION IN ANY CASE IS TO HAVE LIMITED ME FROM CONTINUING BETTING AND NOT LET ME CONTINUE PLAYING UNTIL I GET 1090 EUROS AND THEN TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME.

THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO REACH A FRIENDLY SETTLEMENT WITH YOU, I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT 600 EUROS AND LEAVE THIS DISPUTE AMICABLE

Dear Mystake Casino team,

I still don't understand how it is possible to operate a casino without knowing when the wagering of a bonus was finished. Is the capping of winnings based on a lucky guess? If the funds were capped once and turned into real money, there should be no more caps for the winnings as the winnings were made with real money funds. This is the reason why the player should get paid in full, otherwise the complaint will become unresolved.

Hello,

We understand this matter and we are willing to refund the user fully.

Kind regards

I accept. But they should indicate when they are going to pay it and until they pay it… nothing is closed.

WHEN I HAVE THEM DEPOSITED INTO THE ACCOUNT, I WILL WARN YOU, TELL THEM TO REFUND IT

Thank you MyStake Casino team for reconsidering.

Dear karpint,

Please let me know when you receive your funds.

Please tell mystake to proceed with the payment... otherwise...

What they had to do was pay me 100 euros more for each day that they didn't pay... you'll see how the story would end for them.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TALK TO THEM THROUGH CHAT ALL DAY, AND THEY CLOSE ME WITHOUT ANSWERING, THEY DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING THROUGH EMAIL EITHER... IT'S A SHAME...

Dear MyStake Casino team,

What needs to be done for the player to receive his funds?

Hello,

The user has already been fully refunded and can use the balance as he desires.

Kind regards

Money received
