MENACE.com Casino - Рахунок гравця закрито, а кошти конфісковано.

Hi, the casino permanently closed my account and confiscated my balance, citing "advantage play techniques that violate Menace.com Terms and Conditions."

I want to be fully transparent: I have used card counting during 2 of my sessions on this site. Card counting is not explicitly prohibited in Menace's terms & conditions.

No session-specific evidence has been provided. The casino has not clarified which exact sessions were flagged, or why the confiscation was applied to my entire account, including funds from deposits and sessions where no advantage play occurred.

Importantly, my last deposit and gameplay did not involve any card counting at all. I played Multihand Blackjack where cards are shuffled every round, making card counting impossible. Despite this, funds from those sessions were confiscated.

These are the terms they claimed I broke:

9.1.3. The Company considers that the player used the products and services offered on the Website in an inappropriate manner or deliberately took unfair advantage of the Company.

9.1.4. The Company considers that the player used the services in a fraudulent and/or improper manner. The Company has reasonable grounds to believe that such activity took place, supported by third-party provider confirmation.

9.1.5. The player used mathematical techniques or manipulative strategies that distorted normal gameplay and provided an unfair advantage, leaving no place for chance.

I contest that none of these terms were breached in a manner that justifies confiscation:

I did not take unfair advantage of the company. Card counting is not an unfair advantage, it is skillful and legal. In that case card counting would've been explicitly prohibited in the casinos terms which its not. None of it is fraudulent or improper. "leaving no place for chance" This is incorrect. Card counting does not eliminate chance, does not guarantee outcomes, and does not alter or manipulate or distort gameplay. Variance remains fully present, and I did not even profit during my card counting sessions. Actually the only profit from my gameplay was during my last session where no card counting occurred.

The entire amount confiscated, (approximately $446 or 3.6 sol) originates from my last deposit and sessions, during which no card counting or advantage play occurred. I deposited $250 usd, played multihand blackjack with cards shuffled after every round. I won and my balance was at $400 when I requested my withdrawal. This directly contradicts the casinos justification. The additional $46 came from some rakeback bonus I claimed.

I did not use any tools. All the card counting was done manually.

Have you made any successful withdrawals from this casino in the past?

Yes I have made successful withdrawals in the past. My last session on this casino, I did not use any card counting, I only played Multihand Blackjack where card counting is impossible. Despite this, all of the funds from this session was confiscated from the casino.

Have you passed full KYC verification (identity verification) at this casino?

I was not asked to complete any KYC verification.

Besides blackjack, have you played any other games at this casino? If yes, please specify which ones.

From what I can remember, I only played blackjack at this casino. My account has been closed so I can't confirm this.

Hello BigT1,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and just to confirm if I understand it correctly, the winnings you are contesting originated from your participation in non-live-dealer blackjack games. Is that correct? Were you previously notified by the casino that they identified some disallowed gameplay before your account was closed?

I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter and to see if I can help somehow.

We would like to invite MENACE.com Casino to join the conversation.

Dear MENACE.com Casino,

I would appreciate it if you could furnish me with any evidence that substantiates the alleged breaches of your terms and conditions for which the player is being accused. The player asserts that their most recent winnings were derived from a multihand blackjack game, where card counting is reportedly not feasible. Therefore, we kindly request your clarification, including a review of the player's game log from that period.

Please feel free to send the information and evidence directly to me at [email protected] for an independent evaluation.

Thank you in advance.

Hey Michal,

Yes that's correct. My last deposit I made was on December 20 where I deposited $250 and I did not play any live dealer games with that deposit. I only played multihand blackjack which is not live and I profited $150 so my balance was $400, all from non-live blackjack. My withdrawal was rejected and a few days later on December 23, I got an email saying that my remaining funds of $400 has been confiscated by Menace and that my account has been permanently blocked.

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.
