The player from Finland had their winnings from sports betting voided and account blocked due to accusation of “surebets”. We rejected this complaint as it was sports betting related.
I created an account with WebbySlot casino (https://www.webbyslot.com/) on October 2021.
The next two months I made over a hundred sports bets there and also played some slots.
I made multiple successful deposits and withdrawals. In December 2021 I managed to win a series
of sports bets and got my account balance to over 3600 €. I then tried to withdraw some of the money,
but WebbySlot closed my account and confiscated all my winnings.
WebbySlot sent me a short e-mail saying that my account is closed because of surebet and only the remaining
amount of deposits (423 €) would be paid back to me. I tried to contact the casino to discuss the matter
as my bets were normal bets with similar odds that every other casino offered at the time. However, their
only answer was that their provider flagged my bets as a violation of the betting terms and they therefore
confiscated my winnings and closed my account.
I don't understand how WebbySlot or their provider came to the conclusion that my bets were somehow surebets.
I have placed similar bets in many other casinos and never had issues withdrawing my winnings from any of them.
I had also already placed similar bets at WebbySlot for two months with no problems. I did not chance my betting
pattern. I just happened to win a series of bets and then they decided to confiscate all my winnings. All my efforts
at placing bets there for two months were for nothing.

Dear Petronela,
Thank you for considering my complaint. If you manage to get more information from the casino on my behalf, I would be happy to continue our communication through emails.

Thank you very much, sportshawk, for your reply. Since you have confirmed that the issue is purely related to sports betting, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you.
I’m truly sorry we couldn’t help you to resolve this case, but please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with any other casino in the future. As I mentioned earlier, since we don’t have a branch dealing with sports betting yet and enough insight to take on this kind of dispute or judge it appropriately, we are forced to reject your complaint at the end. I really wish I were of more help.
I contacted the casino requesting more information and will continue our communication via emails.
