UNRESOLVED

Case summary

10 months ago

The player from New Zealand had claimed that the casino unjustifiably confiscated his funds, which amounted to about €5800, after he successfully completed wagering requirements on three separate bonuses. The casino had argued that they had overpaid him, but the player maintained that the terms for the welcome bonus supported his claim. We had attempted to contact the casino for clarity and resolution but received no response. As the casino was operating without a valid license and didn't refer to any ADR service, there was no gaming authority to turn to. Therefore, we marked the complaint as 'unresolved', which could have negatively affected the casino's rating. We had advised the player to choose casinos based on their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid similar issues.

Casino has taken roughly €5800 from me after winning from 3 seperate bonuses. Each bonus is capped at winnings of €5000 or twice the amount of the deposit amount. I made 3 deposits; €1600, €2000 and €1000. I made 2 successful withdrawals; first one was after winning on deposit 2 for €4000 and leaving €500 in the account. Resulting in €900 winnings. Deposit 3 was for €1000 in which I finished a bonus with total withdrawal funds of roughly €4500 after successfully completing wagering. I then attempted withdrawal of €3400, which means I left €1100 in the account, after a week or so of playing (with no bonus attached, winnings from wagering completed a long time ago) I won some more. Account balance now up to roughly €2800. Have I got a case? They won’t listen to me. Welcome bonus terms support my claim but they have wiped my balance. They say they has overpaid me as I successful withdraw €7200 in total. Total deposit amount was €4600. Bonus winnings was from bonus 2, 3 and after bonus wagering was completed.

Hello katysmurrie,

I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and just so you know Stellar Spins Casino was not very cooperative in solving player complaints with us in the past, but I will still contact the casino to see if we can help.

We would like to invite Stellar Spins Casino to join the conversation.


Dear Stellar Spins Casino,

Can you please provide more information on why the player's winnings were confiscated?

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear katysmurrie,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to. 

I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. 

I can only strongly recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Michal
