Winz.io Casino - Виграш гравця конфісковано після раптового обмеження країни.

Hello.

I created an account on winz.io on June 8, 2022.

At that time, the casino had no restrictions on Polish players. This information was also available on the casinoguru website.

Based on and trusting the casinguru review, I created an account there.

However, on October 9, my account was suspended, tell me that winz.io does not accept players from my country.

Thus paying out my deposits, but confiscating all my winnings amounting to approximately $300 (equivalent in ETH, XRP, DOGE).

I did not receive any information about Poland being added to the list of unacceptable countries, no e-mail, no private message to the account, no push-button - as reputable casinos sometimes do when changing the regulations.

The most interesting thing is that on October 6 I was still receiving promotional emails from winz.io, and the account was blocked after larger winnings over the weekend.

Hence, it is likely that as long as you are losing in winz.io, you are welcome, but when you start winning, they refer to the point of the regulations prohibiting the game.

Of course, when my account was blocked, the casinoguru website still said that Polish players were accepted. Only now I see that this information has been changed.

Of course, I accept that you cannot play in the casino, but when the regulations change, the casino should inform players about it and allow them to withdraw their funds so as to part with them peacefully, and not allow them to play and then confiscate their winnings.

Please help me solve this matter.

Best Regards

Rafał

Hello rafanaldo7,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Winz.io Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise how much real money balance did you have at the time the casino blocked your account? Did you have any active bonus at that time? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi again,

At the time of blocking, I had over $500 in my account.

About half of this amount was refunded (refund of deposits).

At this moment, I cannot tell how much is left in the account because I do not have access to the blocked account.

I had no active bonus during the account block.

The last e-mail from winz.io is from October 14 and they inform me once again about breaking the regulations and that the decision to block the account is final and is not subject to further consideration.

Hello rafanaldo7,

Can you please forward all the communication between you and the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru?

As per your request, I have sent all communication via e-mail.

Hello rafanaldo7 and thank you for all the information provided. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Tomas (tomas.k@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.

Wish you best luck resolving it.

Regards,

Nick

I've just reviewed your case and am very sorry that you came across such an issue. In order to help you resolve the problem, I will contact the casino.

I'd like to invite Winz.io Casino to join this conversation and participate in the investigation.

Can you please comment on the player's issue? Why have you confiscated their winnings when there was no warning about Poland being a restricted country?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Tomas
