Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Spain's account was closed after she requested a withdrawal of 4500 euro. After she submitted verification documents, the casino returned only her initial deposit of 25 euros, and she received no meaningful explanation, just automated responses. The Complaints Team informed her that the casino's decision was based on anti-money laundering regulations prohibiting payments for third-party deposits. As a result, the complaint was closed, and the player was advised to use payment methods solely in her name for future online casino-related deposits.

After I reached 4500 euros and requested a withdrawal, the casino asked me to verify my account. After uploading the documents, they told me they were closing my account without the possibility of reopening it, and they returned the 25 euros I deposited. They claim that terms and conditions were broken, even though I reviewed them and didn't violate any.

When I try to get an explanation, they only send automated messages. I can't talk to them, and it seems impossible for me to claim my winnings—this is a scam.

Dear Marta11,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Spinanga Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Could you please advise how long were you a player of the casino and when exactly was your account blocked? 
  • Could you please list which documents you submitted for verification?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports) 
  • Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus? 
  • Could you please share with me the messages from the casino regarding the breach of the terms and conditions? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Thank you very much, at least I can talk to someone about the problem, since they don't take responsibility for anything.

I think it's a scam. If you lose, they keep your money, but if you win, they only give you back the money you invested, so it's impossible to make money.

As I was saying, I find it almost impossible for you to collect, but I ask for your help, since no condition or term has been broken, and this is a mistake or scam.

I was a player of the game for about a month and the account was closed on November 2, 2024.

The documents I sent were the following: a selfie, my ID, my credit card, and my partner's credit card.

To accumulate the balance I only played live games.

I did not use any bonus to get that balance.


Thank you very much in advance for your attention, and let it be clear that I do not want to do anything bad, I am only trying to recover what is mine, to see that justice is done and that the same people who always win do not win.

All the best.

Dear Marta11,

Using funds that came from someone else's payment method is prohibited in all online casinos.

4.1. By opening an account on the Website and using it, you guarantee that:

The credit/debit card or any other payment method you use to fund your account belongs to you, is not stolen and is not a lost item. The Company reserves the right to close any account and void winnings in case of suspected non-compliance.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-players

"Payments

For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations."

Please understand that if this rule has been breached, we might not be able to help. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who's the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during the account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player's responsibility to use allowed payment methods only.

I'll wait for your reply.

I guess it happens because I have won and they don't want to pay me, so what is the solution?

As I feared, I was left without my money, right?

The terms state that no card should be used that is stolen or lost, which does not happen in my case, since the deposit is with full acceptance.

Greetings.

I am afraid it doesn't matter whether you were given consent or not.

Casinos are obligated to follow anti-money laundering regulation which prohibits them from paying out any winnings in case of a third-party deposit. We are unable to persuade them to act any differently, which means that unfortunately, we won't be able to help, and the complaint will be closed.

I strongly recommend you deposit in any online casino using a payment method in your name exclusively, otherwise, you might face similar issues.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be closed. 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 issues with any online casino in the future.
