The player from Belgium faced issues with Seven7 Casino, which had confiscated his winnings after initially confirming his withdrawal. Despite having fully verified his account and completed all wagering requirements, the casino claimed he played Live Casino games with bonus balance, although he asserted that his winnings came from real money and that the interface did not indicate any restrictions. He sought assistance in mediating this unfair outcome.
The Complaints Team attempted to resolve the issue by reaching out to the casino for clarification on the confiscation but received no response despite multiple attempts. Consequently, the complaint was marked as "unresolved," with the recommendation to contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority for further action.
この決定は不当かつ正当な理由なく行われたと考えておりますので、Casino Guru にこの紛争の仲裁をお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとう。
Hello Casino Guru team,
I would like to submit a complaint regarding Seven7 Casino.
After playing and winning a significant amount, I fully verified my account, and my withdrawal was confirmed as "requested correctly" by the casino. My VIP manager also told me that the payment would be processed.
However, after several days of waiting, without any warning or issue mentioned, the casino suddenly rejected my withdrawal and confiscated all my winnings. They claimed that I had played "Live Casino" with a bonus balance.
Here is why I believe this decision is unfair:
The system never blocked access to Live Casino while a bonus was active.
No warning message was displayed at any moment.
My real money balance and bonus balance were displayed separately, which made it clear to me that I was playing with my real balance.
All my winnings came from my real-money balance, not from the bonus.
The casino approved my KYC and confirmed that my withdrawal request was correct before suddenly changing their decision.
If Live Casino games were truly restricted, the casino should have prevented access or at least displayed a warning. Confiscating all winnings afterwards, only after the withdrawal was requested, is not fair.
I am attaching a screenshot showing that my bonus wagering was fully completed ("Wagering Completed: Yes").
After completing the wagering requirements, I believed I was using real money, not bonus funds.
The casino interface did not show any clear indication of which balance was being used, and it did not block access to Live Casino games, even though they claim those games are restricted.
If these games were truly forbidden, the system should have automatically prevented access or displayed a clear warning.
Because the wagering was completed and the interface was unclear, I believe the confiscation of my winnings is unfair.
I kindly ask Casino Guru to help mediate this dispute, as I believe the decision was made unfairly and without proper justification.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Seven Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.
Was your account blocked, frozen, or closed as a result of the breach of the casino rules?
Have you previously withdrawn winnings from the casino?
Could you please specify which casino bonus you have activated and played? If there is any link, screenshot, or other detailed information about the bonus and its specific rules, please share this information with me.
Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the accusations made against you? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at [email protected], or post screenshots here
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Thank you for taking the time to look into my complaint.
Here are my answers to your questions:
1) Account status
My account has not been blocked, frozen, or closed. After the casino confiscated my winnings, they returned only my original €150 deposit to my player balance. I have since played that amount, and my current balance is €0, but the account itself is still open and I can log in normally.
2) Previous withdrawals
No, I have never successfully withdrawn any winnings from this casino before. The two withdrawal requests (€6,000 and €3,500) related to this win were my first withdrawals.
3) Bonus used
The win was made while one of the casino’s deposit bonuses was active. In the "Bonus" section of my account, the casino shows the bonus details and, very importantly, a line that says "Wagering Completed: Yes" (see attached screenshot).
At the time I was playing, the bonus was already shown as "wagering completed", and the cashier displayed a real-money balance next to the bonus information. Because of this, I genuinely believed that the bonus had been fully converted and that I was playing with real-money funds.
The casino now claims that Live Casino games were played while a bonus was active, but:
– The Live Casino lobby was never blocked.
– The system did not show any warning or restriction when entering or playing Live Casino.
– The bonus page itself indicated that the wagering requirement was completed ("Wagering Completed: Yes").
If needed, I can also provide the link or text of the bonus terms where section 7.6 about restricted games is mentioned.
– The email where the casino informs me that my withdrawal was rejected and all winnings were confiscated.
– The email from their Compliance Officer (Eric Bergström) stating that they confiscated everything under section 7.6 of the bonus rules.
– A screenshot from my bonus page showing "Wagering Completed: Yes" while Live Casino remained accessible in the lobby.
– Screenshots of my withdrawal requests and KYC approval, where support previously confirmed that my withdrawal was "correctly requested".
– Conversation excerpts with my VIP manager (Robert), where he told me that the payment would be processed during the Friday "payment run" before the casino later decided to confiscate my winnings instead.
From my point of view, the main issues are:
– The website allowed me to open and play Live Casino while/after a bonus, with no technical block.
– No warning message or pop-up appeared at any point before or during gameplay.
– The bonus screen clearly indicated "Wagering Completed: Yes", which led me to believe in good faith that I was now playing with cash funds.
– The casino only invoked a breach of terms and confiscated everything after I requested a large withdrawal.
If you need any additional screenshots, logs, or further information, I will be happy to provide it.

Thank you Jackee22 for providing us with all the information. I hope we'll be able to resolve this issue together.
I would now like to ask Seven Casino for their help in resolving this complaint. We would like to know why the player's winnings were confiscated and what we can do to help resolve this issue.
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 would recommend you contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority and submit a complaint to them through the validator on the casino website, but the casino doesn't display its license as required by the regulation, most likely in an attempt to prevent players from escalating their complaints. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
