The player from Belgium had requested three withdrawals totaling €900, all of which were confirmed and subsequently canceled due to a "payment processor error," despite no verification being needed for deposits. He reported that support did not respond to emails and that withdrawals were blocked regardless of the method used. The Complaints Team acknowledged the inconsistencies in the casino's explanations regarding the cancellation of withdrawals and the subsequent account closure. However, it was concluded that since the player gambled the balance and therefore had no funds to withdraw and the casino had apologized for the issues, the complaint was closed. Due to the player's dissatisfaction with this outcome, the complaint has been marked as rejected. The player was informed that the case would be monitored for future inconsistencies but no further action could be taken at that time.

I requested three withdrawals from this casino: one for €500 and two for €200. All were confirmed and then cancelled, using the excuse of a "payment processor error."
However, deposits are accepted instantly, with no verification required.
There is no accessible KYC procedure – the site even states that "my account does not require verification."
The support team does not reply to any emails, and withdrawals are blocked regardless of the method (Visa, MasterCard, or SEPA).
No bonus was active at the time.
Result: €900 lost, fake explanations, and complete silence from the casino.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Spinanga Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.
Could you please explain how much your current balance in the casino is?
Which payment method have you used for deposits in the casino?
Could you please share with me your communication with live chat support regarding the issue if available? 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.
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
Thank you for your reply. Here are the details you requested regarding my complaint about Spinanga Casino:
1️⃣ Current balance at the casino
My current balance is €0, because the casino closed my account shortly after I submitted my withdrawal requests and my complaint. I no longer have access to my account.
2️⃣ Payment method(s) used for deposits
I used my official personal bank card to make all deposits.
3️⃣ Withdrawal issue description
I submitted three withdrawal requests, and each of them was automatically cancelled after approximately 48 hours, without any explanation.
I also want to clarify that I did not receive any email notification confirming these cancellations.
I am attaching the screenshots I have. Unfortunately, I cannot provide additional screenshots because my account was closed by Spinanga after my complaint.
4️⃣ Communication with casino support
I contacted their support several times by email.
The only answers I received were that:
my case was "under review by another department", and
I should "not have played because I am French".
However:
❗ Spinanga allowed me to create an account as a French resident,
❗ Spinanga accepted all my deposits without any restriction or warning,
❗ Spinanga’s Terms & Conditions (attached) do not list France as a restricted country, and
❗ I did not use a VPN. I played from my iPad, which connected to their website normally.
Therefore, refusing my withdrawals on the basis of my nationality appears to be an excuse to avoid payment, especially considering the CGU do not prohibit players from France for the games I used.
The games I played were:
Mummy’s Jewels
Gold Saloon
First Person Roulette
The Golden Mummy – Hold & Win
Ruby Joker
Bandidos Bang!
American Blackjack
5️⃣ Legal position (important clarification)
In France, players are not prohibited from accessing offshore casino platforms.
The French state may block websites, but players are not committing an offence by playing. Therefore, Spinanga’s justification is not valid and contradicts their own contractual terms.
6️⃣ Requested resolution
This is the first time I have encountered such an issue in many years of online gaming.
If Spinanga refuses to honor my withdrawals, then I request a full refund of my deposits, since the casino:
accepted my money without restriction,
closed my account without valid reason,
and cancelled my withdrawals without explanation.
If needed, I am prepared to escalate this matter to the Curaçao gaming authority, which issued Spinanga’s license.
I would like to give you a complete clarification of the situation.
First, regarding the screenshot you sent me:
superimposing an application that displays an IP address on top of a "restricted" page is not reliable technical proof.
Anyone can display an IP/VPN application over a blocked page, so such an overlay can easily be manipulated and does not reflect the real behaviour of the website.
The only reliable method is to use neutral websites such as ipinfo.io or ipleak.net, which show the real IP and country without any possible modification.
For this reason, I have provided honest and transparent screenshots directly from my iPad, without VPN and without any manipulation:
1) A capture of Spinanga loading normally in France:
2) A capture from ipleak.net showing my real French IP (Free SAS – Vaucluse/Tarn), with "No forwarded IP detected":
This proves that Spinanga is fully accessible from France using my real French internet connection.
Now here are the verified facts about my account:
I can access Spinanga from France without any VPN.
I always played from my iPad, not from a PC or a Mac.
During registration, Spinanga accepted my real French address and my French country of residence.
My profile was filled honestly and the casino validated my KYC.
All my deposits came from my French bank account (BNP Paribas), and the casino accepted every deposit.
However, the casino refused all my withdrawals:
– first €500,
– then €200,
– and again €200.
A few days ago, Spinanga contacted me to inform me that my account is being closed.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
This message is an addition to the one I have just sent you.
I also inform you that, given the facts of my case (accepted registration and KYC, accepted deposits, refused withdrawals, and closure of my account), I will now file a formal complaint with the competent regulatory authority in Curaçao, which is responsible for Spinanga’s licence.
Thank you for your cooperation and for providing all the necessary information. I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve taken to share everything with us so far.
Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver, Matej ([email protected]). This is a standard step in our procedure, as the Resolver will take over communication with the casino directly and manage your case from this point onward.
No action is required from you right now. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if any additional details are needed. You can rest assured that your case is in very capable hands.
I wish you the best of luck and hope your case will be resolved to your satisfaction soon.
My name is Matej and I will be taking care of your complaint going forward. I've just reviewed this case and fully appreciate your concerns regarding the cancelled pay outs. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.
I’d like to invite a representative of Spinanga Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you please provide more details as of why this player’s withdrawal request is being cancelled, and processing takes longer than usual? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail [email protected].
Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.
We are writing to inform you that your account has been closed following an internal administrative decision.
Moreover, we would also like to sincerely apologize for the technical issue that affected the processing of your withdrawal requests. The issue has since been fully resolved.
However, as the funds in question were used for gameplay before the matter could be reviewed, we are unfortunately unable to process the withdrawals at this time. Had the balance remained unused, we would have been able to proceed with the withdrawal requests once the technical issue was corrected.
We regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused and appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please feel free to contact us.
I would like to thank both sides for further details and explanation of the whole situation.
Dear Emile, can you please confirm all the money have been gambled while waiting for the resolution of the withdrawal issue? If that is the case, I will not be able to request any refund, and this case can be closed, as the initial problem seems to be resolved. Unless there is something else that needs to be addressed?
Before addressing the rest, I must point out that the casino’s latest explanation is misleading and inconsistent with the facts.
Their explanation also appears to be an attempt to rewrite the facts after the situation has already occurred.
At first, Spinanga justified the cancellation of my withdrawals by claiming that players from France are not allowed.
Now, they provide a completely different explanation involving a supposed technical issue.
These two versions contradict each other and do not reflect what actually happened.
Here are the factual elements shown in my payment history (attached):
€500 withdrawal request — 30/10/2025 at 13:42:29 → CANCELLED
€200 withdrawal request — 04/11/2025 at 23:40:49 → CANCELLED
€200 withdrawal request — 04/11/2025 at 23:51:40 → CANCELLED
All three requests were cancelled over several days, with no valid explanation.
If a technical issue truly prevented all withdrawals, it would mean the casino was unable to pay any player from October 30 to November 4, which is clearly not credible.
During this period, my funds were blocked:
I could not withdraw anything,
every withdrawal attempt was refused,
yet the balance remained available for gameplay.
Therefore, if the remaining balance was eventually used, it was not a voluntary decision, but the direct consequence of the casino’s actions:
repeated cancellations of legitimate withdrawal requests,
contradictory explanations,
and delays that left me unable to access my own money.
For these reasons, I kindly ask that the complaint remain open, as the original issue — the unjustified cancellation of my withdrawals — has not been resolved.
Thank you for your understanding.
I remain available for any additional clarification.
Dear Emile, I understand your frustration. Being unable to withdraw the winnings without any explanation is infuriating and feels like an unfair treatment by the casino. Technical issues may happen, but clear communication is the key and maybe this whole complaint could have been prevented, if the support team provided you with clear reasons and some kind of timeframe of when the issue will be fixed. While I understand that, I am just unsure what are your expectations for the outcome of this case.
Whether the withdrawals were blocked due to your country of residence, payment provider issue or a cat chewed through some important cable - it has been now resolved. And since your trust towards the casino has been lost due to the miscommunication on their end, I am unsure if there is anything the casino can say, that you would take as a valid argument. I can inquire with the management what was the reason for the withdrawal hiccups, but I can only go by what they tell me. And as I said, I don't think you will believe it because of the previous inconsistency in their reasoning.
Since the money were returned to your balance, I am also not sure what am I supposed to do regarding that. If the withdrawals were voided, I would request them being returned. But from my understanding you have got them back. And if you spent them playing games, I can't request them to be refunded since it was lost gambling.
With that being said, please let me know what would you like me to either do or find out, for you to feel the situation has been resolved amiably. I will do what I can to reach that conclusion for you, but right now, I am unsure what you would like me to do. Thank you.
Dear Emile, thank you for the explanation, I do understand your point now. I just don't know how can I meet your expectations.
The casino has made a mistake. There was miscommunication, different support staff members involved, information not being clearly forwarded, and ultimately the issue has been resolved.
From my understanding, your account should be working as usual now. So technical issue has been resolved. Your missing withdrawals were returned in full to your player's account, so that is the second issue resolved.
The last issue - miscommunication - I don't think it can be resolved. From my experience, talking to support staff at online casinos is a very hit-and-miss situation, something like trying a spin on a new slot machine. Sometimes you get excellent customer care from a senior member of the staff who knows the procedures and how to get the correct information, and goes extra mile to satisfy your queries. Other times you get someone who either don't care or is too fresh and has no clue what is happening. I don't believe the casino staff was trying to lie or mislead you on purpose. Seems to me more like you have dealt with two different people, one had no clue what was happening and the other did. A human mistake. I don't really have any lever to pull here, as miscommunication happens in all walks of life at some point.
I would assume you have most likely shared your negative experience with your friends within the gambling community already, maybe discouraging someone thinking about signing up at Spinanga Casino in the process. And maybe you have written a review about the casino mentioning the issues with the support staff.
As technical issues have been fixed and the casino representatives apologised for the miscommunication, I am unsure how can I help further.
However, several statements in your message are factually incorrect, and I need to address them clearly.
1️⃣ The withdrawals were not "returned in full."
Cancelling withdrawals and simply putting the money back into the gaming balance is not a resolution.
None of the requested withdrawals were paid.
Not a single euro ever reached my bank account.
Calling this a "resolution" is misleading.
2️⃣ My account is not "working as usual."
The casino explicitly informed me that my account was closed following an "internal administrative decision."
Your statement contradicts the casino’s own message.
3️⃣ This was not "miscommunication."
The casino used two completely different explanations:
first: "players from France are not allowed,"
then: "technical issue."
After that, they closed my account.
These are not human mistakes — these are contradictory justifications used to avoid processing valid withdrawals.
4️⃣ The technical issue was never proven.
If such an issue existed, the casino would have been unable to pay any player for several days.
This is not credible.
5️⃣ My expectations are simple.
I am not asking for a refund of played funds.
I am asking for Casino Guru to acknowledge the real issue:
the unjustified cancellation of three valid withdrawals,
followed by contradictory explanations,
followed by account closure.
This behavior is unfair and violates basic operational standards.
🔶 In such situations, it is essential that the mediation process remains completely impartial and based strictly on verified facts, not on assumptions or interpretations that favor the casino. An objective review is the minimum I expect.
For these reasons, I respectfully request that the complaint remains open and that the final decision accurately reflects the facts of the case.
Dear Emile, seems like I have misread some information and for that I apologise. I see what is the issue here and unfortunately I am unable to help you further. I will explain myself as best as I can:
1️⃣ The withdrawals were not "returned in full."
I meant the withdrawals were returned to the player account. Casino did not confiscate your money. If they did, I would request them to be returned. If you kept the balance, I would now be waiting for you to confirm you can withdraw them without further issues, and would mediate any problems, until you could confirm receiving your money to the bank account or an e-wallet. Since the balance has been lost, we can't confirm this anymore. Therefore this point is impossible to investigate further.
2️⃣ My account is not "working as usual."
This is all on me and I apologise. I have misread the situation and somehow arrived at a conclusion the account has been restored. I was wrong. Seems like the casino is following their own Term 3.9: "We reserve the right to deny opening of an account or close an existing account without prior notice or justification." They own the place, they can say who is welcome, and I have no business to interfere with that. Again - if this closure meant your balance was confiscated, I would request it to be returned to you, but that is not the case. Anyway, after such negative experience as you had, I doubt you would continue playing in Spinanga even if the account stayed open. There is plenty of casinos that would welcome your custom, so this point can be concluded as well.
3️⃣ This was not "miscommunication."
I don't believe this is relevant. As I mentioned before, even if the issue has been in fact someone spilling coffee on a server processing your withdrawals - it happened. And it was reportedly fixed, but we can't check since you had no money in your player account to withdraw by the time the casino resolved the issue. I understand your frustration, and I did mention the inconsistency in the casino's communication. We will monitor it in the future, to find out whether this inconsistency was a fluke or is a serious, developing issue. Regarding your case however, dwelling on this is in my opinion pointless. Whatever the reason, it will not change the outcome. I have added internal notes regarding the inconsistent reasoning to the Spinanga's file, but for now that is all I can do. We are aware of it, will monitor it, and over time it may pile up into something. But for now it is a single case I am aware of, and once again - whatever was the reason, it will not change the outcome. We can discuss this forever without getting anywhere.
4️⃣ The technical issue was never proven.
And never will be. I believe the casino has better things to do than purposefully create problems for their players, that may lead to complaints or them leaving to play elsewhere. And at this point, even if they send us some error log, I don't think you would believe it. Most likely any proof given by the casino would be dismissed by you as a fake, and we would end up in an endless circle like with the previous point.
5️⃣ My expectations are simple.
I have acknowledged the issue of inconsistent reasoning for the withdrawal cancellations by the casino, and we will monitor it going forward. The casino has acknowledged the problems and apologised for the issues caused. Account closure is the casino exercising its right as per the term 3.9 you have agreed to when signing up. I believe this concludes that your expectations have been met in full.
Since there is no money to be processed, casino apologised for the issues, and I believe nothing I say will make you happy with this outcome, this complaint will be closed now.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, and since we don't consider cases where player is unhappy with the outcome as successfully resolved, I will now proceed to mark this complaint as rejected. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that I was not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.
