Black Magic Casino - Os ganhos do jogador foram confiscados.

This is a Complaint about Blackmagic Casino, and the dispute is about my 2200 pounds, fairly won on their website.

My name is G ****, and I play casinos for pleasure. I played at this casino as a reputable and enjoyable place to have fun, but they disappointed in their customer service, taking my money for no reason and disabling my withdrawal.

I have made various deposits on BlackMagic Casino. I won over 5500 and did my KYC, but they decided not to allow my withdrawal, took 2200 from my account and left a 5.24 bonus. I contacted and received a message that they decided to take my money under 9.1 from their terms and conditions. At that point, I had 500 pounds as a withdrawal which I am not sure about, but they did not cancel it or take it to their system as those 2200 pounds. As I have been disappointed and lost my faith, I have cancelled this 500 pounds as they stayed several days without approval. Then again, I went to 2000 pounds and tried to withdraw, but they blocked my withdrawals. It says your withdrawals are disabled. I wrote numerous emails to them, but they did not answer back. So, they allowed me to continue to play and deposit, but they disabled me from making any withdrawals. I consider this fraudulent and against any principles of fairly playing.

Please I want my money back in my account and be able to get them on my account. If they prove worth it, I will give positive feedback and let everybody know that BlackMagic is a reputable and trusty casino where UK players can get more than what they have at UK casinos.

Many thanks,

G *****

Thanks for your reply, gagiudegagiu0503.

I would like to emphasize, that we believe some of these rules to be unfair and predatory, but not all of them.

I would like to highlight this rule as an example:

Placing total bets equal to or greater than 30% of the value of the smallest deposit currently in play. Including purchasing in-game features including but not limited to free spins with a total bet amount of 30% or greater than the value of the deposit.

This rule is predatory only when they are applied to the real money game because players should be allowed to play with their deposit the way they prefer. However, the maximum allowed bet rule is, in fact, an industry standard, just as the fact that a casino has the right to seize the player's winnings from bonus play after breaking this rule.

Before we move forward with this complaint, could you please clarify whether you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Definetly was Cash...I did not used third bonus though they will added but I have always cancel that bonus as they the option to cancel. So if you spend 50 pounds they will add 50 more for exemple....50x wagering requirements. No , I am not doing thus. I did from my first deposit. But this winning happened 5th or 6 th deposit.

Thank you very much, gagiudegagiu0503, for the confirmation and for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Stefan (stefan.m@casino.guru) who will be at your service. However, I would like to warn you that it seems to be a common practice of Black Magic Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Regardless of many unresolved complaints marked "No Reaction Policy", we keep on trying.

Dear gagiudegagiu0503,

I am so sorry to hear your winnings were confiscated. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Now I would like to invite a Black Magic Casino representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.

Dear Black Magic Casino,

Could you please state why the player's winnings were confiscated?

Thank you in advance for providing the information.

Kind regards,

Stefan
