Novibet Casino - Player's funds confiscated after complaint.

I had 118 thousand in my account but I couldn't withdraw because the balances were different. I placed a complaint with the casino, but when they escalated it to the relevant department, the money disappeared, and the support team isn't providing a solution.

Dear ronaldsosaa0012,

• Have you received any communication from the casino’s support team or relevant department after the money disappeared? If so, please share the details of their response.

My balance reached 60 thousand and I thought I could withdraw 30 thousand but I never got a bonus or anything... which I continued playing and my balance went up to 118 thousand and I thought I could withdraw 60 which I contacted support again and They told me that they escalated my complaint to the corresponding department, which I logged out of the app, I never received the email with said response, so I logged back in and my balance was not there. My problem occurred on July 4 and my balance disappeared on July 5. July

The casino, supposedly the support one, did not give me any solution. I was going to contact me by email and I did not receive any response.

Good evening, today I contacted support again and I inform you that I have not received any email with a solution

I just received an email telling me that the following

Hi ronaldsosaa0012,

• Could you please specify which games you played (slots, live casino games, or sports betting)?
• Could you forward your full game history in one comprehensive file to petronela.k@casino.guru?

Thank you.

I have not had a response from the casino or here

Hi ronaldsosaa0012,

• Could you please request your full game history directly from the casino and forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru at your earliest convenience?

Thank you.

Dear ronaldsosaa0012,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

The casino has not given me any movement nor has the casino responded nor has the support left me on notice

Thank you very much, ronaldsosaa0012, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Branislav (branislav.b@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. However, I would like to warn you that it seems to be a common practice of Novibet Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Regardless of many unresolved complaints marked "No Reaction Policy" we keep on trying.

To date the casino has not given me a solution and now I deposit to play and I have not had any winnings since I filed the claim

Hello, ronaldsosaa0012,

I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. However, do you have any proof that your account balance was at any point of $118,000? In addition, I can see on one of your screenshots (if the translation is correct) that your balance was $60,000, but the withdrawable funds are only $30,000. Therefore, I have a few questions to clarify the situation.

• Do you have any proof of your balance of $118,000, and if so, can you share it here or send it to my email (branislav.b@casino.guru)?
• Did you use any bonus on your account? I do not mean that like whether your winnings were won with a bonus, but whether you, anytime before, used a bonus on your account.
• If you used any bonus - is it possible that there could be any unfinished rounds/features that you played with a bonus and not finished, or that some of your winnings were won with real money, but by finishing unfinished rounds from games you left there while you played with a bonus, so they were collected after the bonus was lost, with subsequent real money deposit(s)?
• Did you fully wager your deposit(s) within the casino's AML rules?
• What games or types of games did you play at the casino, and from what type of games did you accumulate your disputed winnings? Did you play only slots or also other types of games (sports betting/live casino/multiplayer/...)?

Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.

Dear Novibet Casino team,

Could you please look into the player's issue and explain the situation in more detail? Where did his winnings go? Was anything of his winnings confiscated? What could cause the alleged difference in balances?

If we are talking about a breach of the casino's Terms and Conditions, is the casino able to substantiate its claims and decision with relevant evidence?

Feel free to send the necessary details and supporting evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

In that game my balance appears to be 166 thousand which I continued playing and my balance decreases to 118 thousand which I left the casino when I re-entered the balance was not there

Please look at my previous post once again and answer all the questions, ronaldsosaa0012.

I didn't get any bonus, all my bet was on that game but when I exited and re-entered the balance disappeared

Alright, although you have not answered all my questions, let's rather wait for the casino's response and clarification.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

As I have seen, I have lost that money because a lot of time has passed and neither of the two parties have given me a solution.

Hello, ronaldsosaa0012,

Extending the timer for the casino by another 7 days. I managed to connect with the casino representative, but he stopped responding. Therefore, I am providing the casino with an extra 7 days to respond. It is possible they did not know about the complaint during the first timer (the first 7 days).

Once I have any news or updates regarding the matter outside the thread, I will share it here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Let's wait for the casino to reply if they do at all.

The casino has not responded to me regarding my claim.

Dear ronaldsosaa0012,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. Unfortunately, the only casino representative who replied to me before stopped responding, so I was not provided with anything relevant regarding the matter. I am afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Therefore, I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this is not 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 react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

In the meantime, I recommend you contact the eCOGRA – an alternative dispute resolution service (https://ecogra.org/products-services/alternative-dispute-resolution or complaints@ecogra.org) and submit a complaint to them. It collaborates with the Gaming Authority and has better options and tools to help players. The next step would be contacting the Malta Gaming Authority itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/ or support.mga@mga.org.mt).

In case of any questions or news from the ADR or regulator, do not hesitate to contact me at branislav.b@casino.guru.

I wish I could be of more help. I sincerely hope you will not come across a problem like this again.

Best regards,

Branislav, Casino.Guru
