Uncertain case, passive regulator

UNRESOLVED

Case summary

6 months ago

The player from Germany had participated in a welcome bonus at an online casino, adhered to all rules, and won 3,300. However, after he requested a withdrawal and waited for 72 hours, his account was abruptly closed without an explanation. The casino had refused to share evidence of any wrongdoing with third parties. We had advised the player to contact the relevant gaming authority and were at that time awaiting a decision from the regulator. Despite multiple attempts to contact the authority, the player had not received a response. Due to the lack of resolution, we had marked the complaint as 'unresolved'.

I took advantage of the first welcome bonus and, following all the rules, managed to make the turnover and got 3,300 in my account. The payouts on this site do not work the way they do at other casinos, you can only write to support and wait. 72 hours after my withdrawal request, my account has now been closed without a single reason given. "


Thank you for your patience. After game play was reviewed, management has decided to close your account and refund your initial deposit."


This complaint is also a warning to everyone: This casino is a scam casino. They do not pay out winnings even if you follow all the rules. Don't pay in!

Hello Petronela,


I should have registered on September 30, 2023 around 8:00 p.m. Maybe 1-2 hours later, I don't know exactly. I have completed all required registration steps.


My gaming behavior is simply explained. Since this casino only offers Pragmatic Play slots from the popular providers in my home country, I only played around 20 different slots with this provider. Always alternating. Bet 3€, I only went slightly higher or lower on slots where this bet is not possible. No live casino, no sports betting


There is nothing in the (bonus) terms and conditions about prohibited games or maximum bet. I asked "Support" about the banned games (only by email, LiveChat is not available), but received no answer.


Best regards

Tillykke

Hello,


Thank you for bringing this complaint to our attention.


First and most importantly, we would like to highlight that we fully refunded the only deposit the player had made.


Regarding the time taken to process the player's withdrawal request - on the withdrawal form it clearly states that withdrawals over 1.000€ are subject to a longer delay to give us time to review game play etc.


Finally, in our judgement game play was potentially fraudulent, although we cannot go into details on a public forum. As it was a borderline case, we decided that a refund was a fair resolution - as previously stated, we did not retain player funds.


Regards,

Slots777.casino

Dear Tillykke, I was in contact with the casino representative and was told that the Casino management has issued a statement that they do not wish to provide their internal information to third parties. Therefore I recommend you contact the Gaming Curacao Authority (complaints@gaming-curacao.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 (peter.c@casino.guru). I'd appreciate it if you could let me know that you have contacted the authority in the thread before I close it as "waiting for a decision from the regulator". I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,


First of all, I would like to thank you for your commitment.


The result was foreseeable for me and as already mentioned, it should above all be a warning to everyone who reads here that this casino does not pay out for higher winnings and is therefore a fake casino that collects deposits and steals winnings.


You just have to read the casino's answer carefully. They consider it a fair solution to refund my deposit of €200 and cancel the win if I win €3,300. The reason why the casino steals my winnings is of course completely secret. Again: I always alternated between playing around 20-25 Pragmatic slots with the same stake. The only fraudulent behavior is stealing my winnings.


I will send a complaint to the Gaming Curacao Authority and I hope this casino also gets a clear "fake casino" notice from Casino Guru and a warning to all other players. Please pay attention to seriousness here. Unfortunately, the casino world is already bad enough and such criminal casinos have to be sorted out so that players don't permanently lose interest in slots.


Best regards

Tillykke

Dear Tillykke,
We hope this finds you well. We would like to ask you to provide an update regarding this case, which was previously marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website. Your complaint has now been automatically reopened, and we are eager to know if there have been any recent developments or resolutions since our last communication.
If the ADR or the Licensing Authority has resolved things in your favor, please update the thread and send over the official statement to my email. Alternatively, if the ruling favored the casino, your insights are just as crucial.
We understand that some time has passed, but updating your complaint will allow us to take appropriate action, such as issuing black points to the casino in case the ruling is in your favor or warning other players and users about instances where the authority supports the operator.
We truly appreciate your cooperation, and your response would be of great assistance to us.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Thank you for the update Tillykke, Gaming Cucarao is an authority itself. There are some changes happening in the Curacao legislation which may affect the time it takes for the authority to investigate. I will close the complaint as 'waiting for a decision of the regulator' for now, please keep me updated about further developments through my email. (peter.c@casino.guru)

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,


I have written to the government agency three times, most recently in mid-January 2024. I have not received a response to any email.


Please warn all players not to open an account at this casino. Let me summarize the case again:


I deposited and only played Pragmatic slots with the same stake every time. I adhered to all (bonus) terms and conditions.

I successfully made the deposit. The casino withdrew my winnings on the grounds that, in their opinion, I had violated the rules, but did not give a specific reason.

The casino thinks this is fair because I got my deposit back. It's a really great business model: you collect the deposit from all players and if someone wins a slightly higher amount, you keep the winnings and claim that the player cheated.


This practice must be stopped. Since then, I have stopped depositing money into unknown casino groups because I have lost trust in them.


I hope to help many players so that dubious casino groups like this one can be weeded out.


Best regards

Tillykke
