The player from Germany reported that Yugibet claimed he had abused a bonus after turning €200 into €3000, resulting in the withholding of over €1900 following a successful initial withdrawal. He asserted that he played normally without any abuse and had not been provided with evidence for the claims. The Complaints Team attempted to contact the casino for clarification on the confiscation of the winnings but did not receive a response. Consequently, the complaint was marked as 'unresolved' due to the lack of cooperation from the casino, and the player was advised to seek assistance from alternative dispute resolution services.

Yugibet suddenly claims that because I turned €200 into €3000 using the weekly 50% bonus up to €100, I have abused the bonus, and after the first withdrawal was successful, they are now withholding over €1900. I played completely normally, like always, and didn't engage in any kind of abuse. Of course, no evidence has been presented to me. There won't be any either. Yugibet simply doesn't want to give me my money.

Hello LeonhardS,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Yugibet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
- Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly?
- Did they specify based on which term did they confiscate your winings?
- When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

- The account has been verified since May 31, 2024.
- I don't understand the part about the deadline? There seems to be a translation error here. Do you mean for what reason? I can send you the whole email from Yugibet, but no specific reason is given.
- I spoke to the casino on October 24, 2024 at 5:33 p.m. I wanted it in writing that €1,974.58 had been taken from me. I have already attached this email as a screenshot.

Hello LeonhardS,
It must be a translation error as yes, I've been asking regarding the exact reason of that.
Please forward the communication between you and the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru for further review.
Awaiting your response.

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.

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. 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 might 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. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the MADRE – an alternative dispute resolution service (https://madre-online.eu/file-a-claim/) and submit a complaint to them. It collaborates with the Gaming Authority and has better options and tools to help players. The next step would be contacting the Malta Gaming Authority itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/player-hub/lodge-a-complaint/). Please let me know if you need help with filling the form or how the ADR responded if you can do this on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Peter
