The player from Germany had had her account closed, which had resulted in the disappearance of her winnings of 2,500 Euros. She had disputed the casino's claim of bonus abuse as the reason for the account closure. The player had reported that the majority of her winnings were from Blackjack and had complained about the casino's lack of response to her inquiries. Upon investigation, the Complaints Team found evidence supporting the casino's claim of bonus abuse through multiple accounts. Consequently, the team deemed the complaint as unjustified.

I have played at the casino a few times and 2 weeks ago my account, along with my winnings of 2500 Euros, was closed. I received the following explanation:
"Upon reviewing your gambling session, a violation of the project rules was discovered, namely:
- Customers are forbidden to use strategies when they are playing with an active bonus (bonus abuse). If strategies are used, the administration reserves the right to cancel all of the player's winnings.
- The casino has the right to cancel all bonuses and winnings and seize all money from the account if it was acquired dishonestly or in violation of the rules.
Due to the identified violations, your balance has been deleted, and your account has been closed with no right to reopen."
However, in my opinion, this is not the case. I haven't done anything wrong. I deposited 800 Euros and received a casino bonus. I then played both slot games and live casino and also placed a sports bet, although the majority of winnings were definitely made in Blackjack. After I fairly played up to 2500 Euros, the casino closes my account and no longer responds to any inquiries.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Dear Petronela,
Thank you for your reply.
No, I have not received any warnings or notifications regarding this. My account was immediately closed.
Unfortunately, I wasn't given any examples, the casino only wrote me the quoted message and then didn't reply.
Best regards
Maria

Dear Snatch Casino team,
Could you please provide us with an explanation of the player's situation in more detail? Why have the user's winnings been confiscated and the account blocked/closed? What did she commit? If possible, what steps should the player take to unblock the account and/or withdraw her disputed winnings?
If we are talking about a breach of the casino's Terms and Conditions, is the casino able to substantiate its decision also with relevant evidence?
