Dear Shazia,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. Do I understand it correctly that the casino has given you a bonus even though you refused it? I would like to know how you declined it – did you ask the support to not to grant you the bonus? Sometimes the bonus is added automatically after the player made a deposit. Did you contacted the casino regarding this issue? Please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru.

Regarding the license - UKGC license is necessary for those casinos which want to operate on UK market (targeting the UK) but if the casino does not target UK market with their commercials (for example do not offer bonuses for UK players etc.) and their license authority allows it, they can accept UK players, they are just not protected by UKGC.

I hope we will be able to help you. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hi kristina thankyou very much for your quick reply back i joined ridika casino i deposited £200 GBP money and i pressed no for spins and no for promotions and bonuses then i started playing quiet a few diffrent games only with my money which i deposited ive been playing £2 per spin and won money from diffrent games i was playing for a good few hours as far as i can remember and then i think all of sudden some xtra money got added on this was later when ive been playing and when i stopped playing i pressed withdraw button and it said if u want to withdraw ur winnings u will loose the bonnus or promotions im not 100% sure i think this was said u will loose ur bonus then make a withdrawl and someone will contact you for documentation to complete ur withdrawl ive read alot about them they are scamming so many people trapping them etc...but ill go through my playing history each game i played ill screen shot then s3nd to you then you will know ive been playing with my own money i deposited not any bonus money i didnt even get any free spins....normaly soon as u mke a deposit straightaway they should add the bonus on give u free spins normaly u have to play with the free spins first then you can go start playing with your real money...but ill go through my gaming history as every game every spin every minute every second gets recorded and u will see there ive been playing with my own money. Can i have ur contact number if i can call you and speak to you directly u might understand me better what im trying to say as my message is too long might be complicated.....but 100% ridikq casino are trapping people like ive got £600 and they want me to wager over £21,000 tht means ill loose all my money i wont i wont have nothing to withdraw and thts wht they want not to pay out keep everyones money.

Hi kristina would it be easier if i gave you my login details and password for my ridika account then you can login and go to games history and check every game i played and how much i won then you will know that no bonus promotion was added on and i have only been playing with my own money which i deposited...could i have your contact number so i can speak to you directly too please thnx. 100% they are messing thrir customers stealing their winnings from us.

Dear Shazia.

I am very sorry but the casino support is unresponsive, therefore, we’re not able to proceed with the further investigation or suggest possible solutions. Your last option is to contact the licensing authority of the casino and file an official complaint. Please, let me know if you have any questions or require further assistance.
