Stakes Casino - Hráčův účet byl uzavřen a její výhry byly zabaveny.

Casino decided to close my account, they paid only deposit amount 100 EUR and confiscated my winning. For explanation they wrote the following:

We are writing to inform you that after an internal investigation, management has decided to close your account. As per our bonus terms and conditions:

Dear Stakes Casino representative,

Thank you for reaching out and providing additional information about the player’s case.

I’m a bit confused by your statement about not being able to share more evidence with us due to the lack of affiliation. We do have an affiliate contact for Stakes Casino in our database. Does this mean you will not be providing further details regarding the alleged bonus abuse from the player's side, even if shared directly to my email (veronika.l@casino.guru)? While we do not need to disclose specific details publicly, additional evidence is crucial for us to assess whether the player's gameplay might be considered abusive.

Please advise on the next steps for this complaint and how we can proceed from here. Thank you in advance for 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.

Dear irianmariaelena,

As you can see, the casino does not want to cooperate with us to resolve your complaint. 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 EADR – an alternative dispute resolution service, and submit a complaint to them. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,
