Dear matias077,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to make sure I understand your situation completely.

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

What types of games did you play?

When was the last time you spoke with the casino and what was it about?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards

Veronika

I have made successful withdrawals several times.

I have played some slots, such as "marching legions". Lately I have been playing blackjack online.

The last time I received a letter from them that I have broken the money laundering rules and they do not return my money that I put in the withdrawal.

He realizado retiradas con éxito varias veces.

He jugado algunas ranuras, tales como legiones de "marching legions". Últimamente he estado jugando blackjack en línea.

La última vez que recibí una carta de ellos que he roto las reglas de lavado de dinero y no me devuelven mi dinero que puse en la retirada.

Could you please advise which payment method did you choose for requesting the most recent withdrawal?

When playing at the casino I chose the same withdrawal method, usdt. Other than crypto withdrawal, there are no withdrawal methods at the casino.

Al jugar en el casino elegí el mismo método de retirada, usdt. Aparte de la retirada en cripto, no hay métodos de retirada en el casino.

Please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino regarding your account closure to veronika.l@casino.guru. Alternatively, you may post the screenshot here. Thank you.

Thank you very much, matias077, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.k@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hello matias077,

I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Smokace Casino to join the conversation.

Dear Smokace Casino,

Please forward me the evidence of the supposed money laundering and irregular play of the player to michal.k@casino.guru

Dear Michal,

We have reviewed in detail the complaint of player PLAYER1049301(smokace077@gmail.com) .

Here are the details of the player's account

1) The player deposited his account twice from a prepaid card and once from USDT wallet.

On 2023-06-27, the player made a withdrawal request for 180000ARS.

On 2023-06-27, additional verification was initiated on player's account based on suspicious activity in the player's account.

The additional verification was initiated in accordance with the paragraph of the rule:

2.4.1 The Finance Department may delay processing a withdrawal request due to additional verification.

Risk Department 2023-06-28 having studied the entire betting history of the player PLAYER1049301, it was found out the following:

According to our casino regulations, a customer must make x3 of the deposit amount to be able to withdraw funds.

1) All deposits of player were wagered in the games Lightning Blackjack/Blackjack with a maximum bet refund. (Actions were performed intentionally to make the deposit turnover x3 according to the rules), with the difference in bets and losses or winnings did not exceed 10-15% of the client's balance, and more than 90% of the total amount of client bets were made in this way.

2) The player made a deposit with a prepaid card and requested a withdrawal to the wallet USDT.

We have every reason to assert a violation of AML policy, which grossly violates the regulations of the project.

On the basis of these data, the Risk Department of the casino decided that the player purposefully carried out all actions to launder funds.

According to the rules of our casino:

11. Casino reserves the right to monitor all transactions with a view to prevent money laundering. Furthermore, Casino reserves the right to examine with special attention, and to the extent possible, the background and purpose of any complex or large transactions and any transactions which are particularly likely, by their nature, to be related to money laundering.

Betting activity will be monitored for irregular patterns.

On 2023-06-28 player account PLAYER1049301 was closed without right of opening and balance was canceled due to violation of our casino rules according to the paragraph of the rules:

14.6. In that case, if we should close your account because of collusion, cheating, fraud, money laundering, other criminal activities or breaching of the Terms of Use, which has damaged us or any other third party, the balance of Your Account will be non-refundable and deemed to be forfeited.

2023-06-28 A email with detailed information about the reason of account closing was sent to the player on his e-mail smokace077@gmail.com.

As you can see all actions in relation to the player's account were performed strictly within the rules of our casino, which are publicly available and do not hide from anyone.

Best regards.

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

First of all please disregard the last deposit and consider deposits made before that, I didn't play like this all the time, I lost many times.

Secondly, you have no possibility to withdraw to a card, if there is such a possibility, I am willing to withdraw to the same account from which the deposit was made.

Third, the deposit via USDT was only because you have no chance to withdraw without depositing this way.

I couldn't have done otherwise. Why have you blocked me?

En primer lugar, por favor, no tenga en cuenta el último depósito y considere los depósitos realizados antes de eso, yo no jugué así todo el tiempo, perdí muchas veces.

En segundo lugar, usted no tiene ninguna posibilidad de retirar a una tarjeta, si existe tal posibilidad, estoy dispuesto a retirar a la misma cuenta desde la que se hizo el depósito.

En tercer lugar, el depósito a través de USDT fue sólo porque usted no tiene ninguna posibilidad de retirar sin depositar de esta manera.

No podría haber hecho otra cosa. ¿Por qué me has bloqueado?

And I also requested two withdrawals, 180,000 and 150,000.

I have funded my casino account more than 10 times, not 2 times like you wrote

Y también solicité dos retiradas, 180.000 y 150.000.

He financiado mi cuenta de casino más de 10 veces, no 2 veces como usted escribió

Thank you for your response, Smokace Casino team.

I have requested more information to better understand the whole situation.

Dear matias077,

I have been in contact with the Smokace Casino team and we have received some evidence from them. However, at this time, we remain unconvinced that the actions taken by the casino were justified. I have requested further information from the Smokace Casino team in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire situation and hopefully find an appropriate resolution.

Dear matias077,

Just to give you a quick update. I'm in contact with the casino representative and we are discussing your case. I am awaiting further evidence from the casino.

As you mentioned "I have funded my casino account more than 10 times, not 2 times like you wrote" Can you please send me any proof of this (michal.k@casino.guru)? Have you funded your account only via Astropay?

Hello, I have replied to you by email, I have been playing in the casino for a long time without problems, but once I won I had a problem, I lost more in the casino than I won and I only ask that they return my money as possible.

Since I believe that I have not violated anything or tried to cheat.

Hola, os he contestado por email, he estado jugando en el casino bastante tiempo sin problemas, pero una vez que gané tuve un problema, perdí más en el casino de lo que gané y solo pido que me devuelvan el dinero como sea posible.

Ya que creo que no he infringido nada ni he intentado hacer trampas.

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.
