Insufficient evidence from casino

UNRESOLVED

Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Ireland had a €440 balance at Shangri-La, with roughly half being deposited funds. His fully verified account was suddenly blocked, and support stated it had been suspended by the manager without providing details. The player confirmed that all deposits had been made from his own accounts, but the casino cited suspicious transactions without further explanation. The casino refused to provide evidence or details regarding the account closure. Consequently, we closed the complaint as unresolved due to the casino's lack of cooperation.

I registered in Shangri-La 2 weeks ago, I had there ~440€ balance almost half of my balance was own deposited money, Today I wanted to log into my account and "User account is blocked"

Support replied "The account has been suspended by the manager's decision and we are not allowed to give out details."

They literally stole my money without any explanations. My account was fully verified.

Hello niennko,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Shangri La Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise since when is your account fully verified? Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus? What did the casino respond when you asked them regarding the account closure?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi my account was fully verified since 2nd June, No bonus was used, all money accumulated was my own. Support replied day after with the reason of the block, and this is really a joke and pure scam


"Please be informed, that your account has been blocked according to point 13.4 of General Terms and Conditions and it won’t be reopened."


Their 13.4 point of ToS

"13.4. In the event of any suspicious transaction/s, the company reserves the right to suspend or block a players’ account and withhold funds as may be required by law. Or the competent Authority."


I made 1 deposit by my Virtual Skrill Card for 130€ and 1 deposit by USDT for ~80€ so I don't understand how it can be a suspicious transactions.

Hello,

Am I really waiting a week for that type of questions?

This wallet is exodus crypto wallet, there isn't any validation with owner name or anything despite it is my wallet on my phone and noone else uses it, nor anyone else before have made deposit/withdrawal from this wallet address to their casino ( it is just impossible )

I used legitime deposit methods that were available in their deposit section. I never got accused of anything like that before.

Dear niennko,

Unfortunately, since the casino has refused to provide any evidence for this case, I have no alternative but to close this complaint as unresolved. Conducting a thorough investigation is impossible without cooperation from the casino's side.

I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.


In the meantime, I recommend contacting the Curaçao Antillephone N.V. Licensing Authority and submitting a complaint by sending a summary of your issue to complaints@gaminglicences.com. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to assist players.

You can find more information on how to properly submit a complaint to the regulator at https://casino.guru/submitting-complaints-to-regulators.

Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or if you receive a response from the regulator by emailing me at jakub.m@casino.guru.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Kubo
