Topic: WINZ.IO refusing to pay 1618 ADA($580) in winnings UNRESOLVED - page 3. (Read 709 times)

Hello,

Our support team has sent you an email explaining the situation regarding your account. It appears there was an issue with one of the documents you provided.

Please review the instructions in the email and resend the required documents. This will allow our support team to conduct another review of your account.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

No casino will refund the deposit if you lose it. The email support has said that their decision was based on the clause 10 which is about anti-fraud policy. Their anti-fraud policy says this


So, they may not tell you the reasons of closing your account. I'm not surprised by their decisions. There is always lack of transparency on Winz.io decision making system. In the past, they were forcing users to complete the KYC verification without any proven reason. The best thing would be to submit a complaint on Askgamblers, otherwise try to reach their license authority.

No. I mean, I'm not in support of what they did cause I don't even know who's at fault but, let's not call it a scam just yet... Whatever happens, you don't even need too much publicity; If they actually scammed you, then that's on their reputation in here.
Let's wait 48 hours minimum... The reason is because they're not really active in here like before and, if at all you need a response, you'd have to exercise patience. Also, update this thread with whatever feedback you get ^{[I really need to see where this is going]}

I wouldn’t be making this thread otherwise. I believe I got scammed, or perhaps Winz.io made a mistake. I’m shocked that a reputable casino would do this.

In the similar case you linked, it says the player abused a limited promo. They were accused of colluding with other players. However, in my case, there was no specific reason given besides “suspicious activity,” which makes no sense.

I did not abuse any promo; it was a raw deposit on a new account. I only made the deposit because support said I could still deposit and withdraw before the verification was done. This is my only account on the site. I played slots, blackjack, and Monopoly. I’d post game history, but my account is now closed. If Winz.io can provide game history, you’ll see it was legitimate winnings.

I question whether Winz.io would have returned my deposit if I had lost it. Probably not.

I’ve taken the advice of this thread and messaged the rep here directly. I will give it 24 hours, and if there is no reply, I will open cases on AskGamblers, etc.

I understand your frustration at this point, but you really have to be sure that you're clean of whatever accusations they came up against you with.
The accusations they've filed against is that you violated the p10 anti fraud policy, which could be anything outside their regulatory body; It could be that you participated in collusion, or maybe you accidentally created another account besides the existing one?
Lastly, have you been involved in any of these listed problems with another casino or payment provider before now?.
This is a similar case to yours
They haven't really been active for days now though. I dunno, but I feel it doesn't have to get cold.

Start off by doing what JeromeTash said to do and pm their representative on the forum. If you don't get a reply within a day or so I can pm the owner on telegram for you and see if he will take a look.

That's awful won't pay your winnings, having your money tied up like that is no fun. It’s disappointing when a casino doesn’t honor winnings, especially after you’ve followed their procedures. It’s odd that they would allow you to deposit and play while still verifying your account. Hopefully, it gets their attention and they'll reconsider.

Exactly. I did the opposite of what they’re accusing me of. I did nothing wrong. I signed up and wanted to verify my account before depositing and playing. I was informed by support that I could still play, so I deposited funds. The deposit was a raw deposit, and I only played casino games: Monopoly, roulette, blackjack, and some slots.

After I requested a withdrawal four hours later, it was canceled, and I received an email stating “suspicious activity” detected and my winnings were confiscated, with no explanation given.

I have never had any problems when making withdrawals at Winz, also I have never even been asked nor do the KYC on my own initiative.
I think the KYC is not mandatory there, and that is why their support told you that you can deposit and play even though your KYC process has not been completed yet.
OP, do you bet on sports or casinos? and do you play with raw deposit or deposit bonus?

Things are a bit different in this case. The casino didn't ask OP to complete kyc after winning. In this case, OP wanted to verify his account even before making his first deposit, which is a wise decision.
Besides, his account wasn't banned for failing to pass kyc but because the casino "", as per their claims.

OP, you should move this topic to the scam accusation board.

Without them mentioning what kind of fraud you performed them, it's hard for us to know what exactly is going on
This casino had a slightly different issue last year, but it got resolved.

Try reaching out to their representative via PM or through their ANN thread for answers. I hope they will collaborate with you and help you out find some answers. We will be following closely.

This is terrible to see that after making winning some casino would asked for kyc and after which they would cease your fund to further make you stress throughout and then restricts your account. I suggest you should reach them on their ANN thread maybe there might be help from their representative. I think this casino has been a long one and have been existing and I don't know why such thing could just happened like that without them allowing you to withdraw your funds.

English isn’t my first language so forgive me. Used ChatGPT to help.

I recently signed up with Winz.io casino and wanted to verify/kyc my account immediately. The auto-verification process accepted my ID card and face scan but did not accept my bank statement. I contacted support, and they informed me that a manager would reset the system so I could reload the statement for address verification.

During this time, I asked support if I could still deposit and withdraw funds, and they confirmed that I could. I deposited 170 ADA and played, eventually winning 1618 ADA and requested a withdrawal. However, the withdrawal was never processed. Approximately six hours later, I received an email stating that my winnings were confiscated due to suspicious activity stating fraud, which makes no sense to me. I have never done this

I sent a follow-up email asking for proof of the alleged suspicious activity and reiterated that I was told by support that I could play while waiting for the verification process Winz.io never replied to the email. So I am now posting here.  Attached are screenshots of all relevant communications.

I am from Nigeria which isn’t a restricted country on their website. I also provided all documentation to show this.

UPDATE

Here is the update Winz.io provided me (see attached). They’re accusing my ID of being forged, which doesn’t make any sense and isn’t what they originally claimed. They originally said “suspicious activity”. The ID card was originally accepted by their verification system, so I don’t understand how they’re now claiming it’s forged. My ID card has my NIN on it, which is the SSN for Nigeria.

I replied with a selfie holding my ID, another bank statement, and my school certificate which also has my photo. For further verification. They said they don’t accept these documents and accused me of voluntarily using a forged document for KYC so it’s my fault, which is absurd. Why would I voluntarily try to KYC with a forged document? I only KYC’d before depositing to avoid these issues. I’ve never had any issues doing KYC with my ID card at other casinos.

The ID is issued by the government of Nigeria, and I asked Winz.io to provide proof that it’s forged, but they haven’t replied. Because of this, I went to the government offices today and paid for a new ID, which I will have in 24 hours.

I don’t know what else to do at this point. I don’t have a driver’s license or passport, as passports are only needed for those who leave the country.
