Smokace Casino - Player's account has been closed and winnings confiscated.

It's a BIG SCAM! Smokace claims that I was "card counting" and thus playing with a profitable strategy. However, I have made 10 deposits totaling €2,700. They are refusing to return my winnings, which amount to €2,538.

When I asked the casino to explain why they closed my account and withheld my winnings, they simply told me that I was playing with a profitable strategy and referred me to some general terms and conditions. These terms, however, do not specify any wrongdoing on my part.

How is it possible for me to be playing "profitably" when I have lost money overall? This casino is running a blatant scam. They kick players out as soon as they start winning and only want players who keep losing.

Dear LAMPROS95,

We would like to inform you that upon reviewing your gaming session, we have identified signs of card counting strategy usage, specifically Wonging.

Please note that your session was thoroughly analyzed not only by the casino’s Risk Department but also by the game provider’s team.

Due to the detected use of this strategy, your account has been closed, and your balance has been voided. You were officially notified of this decision via email on December 9, 2024, at 17:01 UTC.

During our communication with Stefan, we provided him with additional information and reports from the provider, which further confirm the use of a card counting strategy on your part.

Dear Stefan,

We have supplied all the necessary supporting information from our side. Please let us know if anything else is required.

Best regards,

Smokace Casino Team

Dear Smokace Casino,

Thank you for your response and the information you have provided.

Hello LAMPROS95,

I would like to add that the software was used to track the true counts on blackjack tables. We believe that the card counting itself is an acceptable strategy by us, but using the software to track the tables is strictly prohibited.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Kind regards,

Stefan, Casino.Guru
