Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Germany had experienced a sudden game block and balance wipeout from Wild.io Casino, right when he was on the verge of meeting the bonus wagering requirements. The player was allegedly in violation of the Terms and Conditions, which led to the confiscation of all but the original deposit. The player had insisted that he adhered to all rules and provided all necessary documents for verification. After multiple exchanges, the casino completed the player's verification process and restored the confiscated winnings to the player's account. The player confirmed the receipt of his winnings, which resolved the complaint.

Hello, I cannot believe what this casino is doing. I would like to formally file a complaint.

Yesterday, I registered with this casino and claimed the first deposit bonus. I deposited $540 using TRX and built it up to over $15000.


Just when I was $1000 short of meeting the bonus wagering requirement, I was kicked out of the game and all games were suddenly blocked for me. I found it extremely strange that this happened just as I was about to complete my wagering. The support team sent me an email stating that my withdrawal is under review, even though I had not requested a withdrawal. The live chat told me my account is being reviewed and I would hear back within 24 hours.


To my horror, I discovered that my balance had been wiped out and only my original deposit was left in the account. Wild.io Casino sent me an email stating that I had allegedly violated the terms and conditions, everything would be confiscated, and only my deposit would be refunded.


It's impossible that I violated any terms and conditions. I didn't play any forbidden games and never exceeded the maximum allowed bet.


My account is not verified as no verification was requested, and I only played slots.


I would like to ask Casino Guru for help. I am shocked and stunned that they are trying to cheat me!

Hello Veronika, I sent you 2 emails with all the evidence. I only played 2 games. Zeus vs Hades and hot to burn slots from pragmatic. I always followed all the rules and didn't do anything that was forbidden.

Hello, BoehserOnkel,

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Now I would like to invite Wild.io Casino's representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.

 

Dear Wild.io Casino team,

Could you please provide us with an explanation of the player's situation in more detail? Why have the disputed winnings been confiscated?

If we are talking about a breach of the casino's Terms and Conditions, is the casino able to substantiate its decision with relevant evidence?

It is possible to share the data directly here, with your reply, or by sending them to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

Thank you in advance for providing the information.

Dear Branislav,


The user's account has been flagged by the system and the bonus was cancelled due to the following terms:


"11.1 Should Wild.io become aware of any user who has accepted the bonus or a promotion with the sole purpose of creating a positive expected value on bonus return by using known practices aimed at securing cash out of said bonus or in any way trying to take advantage of bonuses received by Wild.io, then Wild.io will enforce immediate confiscation of winnings and closure of the account with the right to withhold any further withdrawals. An example of advantage play would be delaying any game round in any game, including free spins features and bonus features, to a later time when you have no more wagering requirements and/or performing new deposit(s) while having free spins features or bonus features still available in a game, Wild.io reserves the right to withhold any withdrawals and/or confiscate all winnings."


Further information has been sent to you through email.


Kind Regards,

The Wild.io Team

But I did not violate the bonus conditions. I don't understand what I did wrong. I didn't play any banned games and always stuck to the maximum allowed bet.


The only problem for wild.io is obviously that I won and they don't want to pay for it.

Thank you for the update and information provided externally, Wild.io Casino Team.


Dear BoehserOnkel,

Can you please inform us about the progress of your KYC/verification?

How were you informed about the process, and when did you provide the casino with the requested documents? If you have not contacted the casino back with the requested documents yet - why?

If you were not informed about it in any way, I strongly recommend you check your casino account and all inbox folders of the email address used for registration in the casino.

We can look at the confiscated bonus winnings after the KYC is completed.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for informing us, BoehserOnkel. Let's give the casino space to reply.


Dear Wild.io Casino team,

Can you please provide us with an update on the player's KYC/verification? Is anything else needed from the user to speed up the process? When can he expect the results of the verification?

Provided that he passes the KYC, will the casino restore his winnings, please?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear audience,


As previously mentioned, the user's account has been flagged by the system and the bonus was cancelled due to the following terms:


"11.1 Should Wild.io become aware of any user who has accepted the bonus or a promotion with the sole purpose of creating a positive expected value on bonus return by using known practices aimed at securing cash out of said bonus or in any way trying to take advantage of bonuses received by Wild.io, then Wild.io will enforce immediate confiscation of winnings and closure of the account with the right to withhold any further withdrawals.

Furthermore, please note that as the funds were part of an active bonus, the user did not realize any actual winnings to be paid out.


Kind Regards,

On this point, Wild.io is clearly lying. They canceled my entire credit while I was playing and only had to wager €1000 of the bonus.


I demand that the casino restore my credit with the sales that I still had to complete. That was only €1000 of bonus sales left when the casino blocked me from all games and then deleted the entire balance. Coincidentally, shortly before the bonus would have been fully implemented.

Dear Wild.io Casino Team,

Do I understand correctly that the casino interrupted the player's game with an active bonus in the middle of play, and that it was the only reason he did not manage to meet the wagering requirement for the used bonus? Otherwise, he would have met the wagering requirements, and the winnings would have become withdrawable, right?

Also, my previous questions have not been answered at all. Therefore, I will repeat them.

"Can you please provide us with an update on the player's KYC/verification? Is anything else needed from the user to speed up the process? When can he expect the results of the verification?

Provided that he passes the KYC, will the casino restore his winnings, please?"

If there is no justified reason for winnings confiscation, can the casino restore his account and winnings to the state before the disputed winnings were confiscated?

It would be fair to let him continue playing and finish the bonus.

What is the maximum cashout amount from the bonus in question?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Branislav,


The identity verification process is currently in progress, with the user pending response for the video verification call. Despite our attempts, we have not yet received a reply or feedback from the user. Once the user responds to our communication, we will be able to proceed accordingly.

I will be happy to make the verification call with the casino, that's no problem.


However, I would like the casino to confirm that I will then receive my incorrectly confiscated winnings back, otherwise it would be a waste of time to even make the call.


If the casino is not willing to refund my winnings and then pay them out, there is no point at all. I would like confirmation from the casino please as I see that the other complaints have been closed as unresolved.

Branislav, please be aware that the user has not been responsive to our KYC requests thus far, resulting in a slow verification process.


BoehserOnkel, in line with the terms and conditions and pursuant to the rules and regulations in Curacao, it's crucial to acknowledge that Wild.io reserves the right to request identity verification at its discretion, a provision you agreed to upon signing up. Additionally, in our efforts to validate the user's identity, we may utilize diverse methods, encompassing, but not restricted to, video calls.


Best Regards,

The Wild.io Team

Thank you both for your replies and updates.


Dear BoehserOnkel,

I assure you that my questions will be repeated until there are clear answers.

However, I strongly recommend that you do not give the casino a reason to suspect or doubt your KYC.

It would be highly appreciated if you could complete the verification, and meet all the requirements and conditions required by the casino regarding it.

Once your verification is completed successfully, there will be no other reason to continue resolving your issue/the disputed winnings. Successful KYC is mandatory in most online casinos, so let's not drag the process out unnecessarily. I would not take it as a waste of time, but rather a speeding the process up.

Can you please let us know once you provide the casino with all the requested documents or make a verification video call?

Then we can further proceed in resolving the main issue.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much for keeping us informed, BoehserOnkel.


Dear Wild.io Casino Team,

Can you please provide us with an update on the player's verification? Is it complete and successful?

If not, can you please state more details and why it was not possible?

If yes, and if there is no other justified reason for winnings confiscation, can the casino restore his account and winnings to the state before the disputed winnings were confiscated and the account blocked/closed?

It would be appreciated if he could continue playing and finish the bonus.

What is the maximum cashout amount from the bonus in question? Will the player be able to withdraw the winnings?

Hi there, Branislav


After we have thoroughly investigated the case and the evidence, the verification process is now completed.

In the light of it, the winnings were added to the player's balance and we restored their account.


The winnings were added to the player's balance and not as a bonus.

The player was informed regarding this via email.


Best Regards,

The Wild.io Team
