Wrongly accusing me of using VPN while on vacation and confiscated €13,000


I am still shaking typing this. Campeonbet basically scammed me for €13.000,95 just now.

I deposited on 24th of september and played a bit. On the 25th of September I also played a bit before leaving for a short vacation to Spain. I took my laptop (Probably still had an open session in the browser, this is important later in the story) and phone.

When I arrived in Spain I resumed gambling after settling, I opened my laptop and typed in the wifi code. It could also have been my phone, since I used that as well for gambling. Now this session I mentioned earlier was probably still open and Campeonbet claimed I switched back from Spain (Mobile or laptop opening new session) to the Netherlands ( session on laptop or mobile that was still open) and back to Spain again by IP. Their systems must confirm that it was a 5 second session before it was automatically logged out for being in a different country, right? This must have been the open session. Instead of recognising this they simply closed my account and accused me of using a VPN, which is factually not true and voided my winnings of €13.000,95 out of nowhere.

I provided them with boarding tickets, flight details and everything else ranging from camping bill details and locations.

This seems like an obvious scam by them trying to avoid a payout. I hope Askgamblers can help me out because I am physically to sick right now by what just happened. I didn’t even know of the term VPN before they messaged me about it. :(

This casino is rated as SUPERB by askgamblers, but yet they removed my balance within the blink of an eye with an crappy email I can’t comprehend.

AskGamblers Complaints Team may confirm that we have been informed on behalf the Campeonbet Casino management that the case had been raised in front of the official regulatory body. Furthermore, we have been provided with the evidence that regulator's final decision was to rule the case in the operator's favor since no response on player's behalf had been made after the original official complaint's submission.

Based on the above and taking into account the fact that the investigation and subsequent decisions made by the official regulatory body are obligatory and final for both parties involved into the dispute process, AskGamblers Complaints Team has no other option but to comply with the ruling and to mark this case as resolved in casino's favor too.

Dear AskGamblers,

Thank you for reopening this complaint and giving us the chance to resolve it after a long time.

As you already know, we have already provided detailed proof both on this thread and more important to our regulator about the use of VPN by our customer, which was a breach of our Terms and Conditions and forced us to take action towards his balance at that time.

We are not going to go through again of every pre-written detail of this case, as each side has its own opinion on how to represent the facts,

However we will point out that our regulator has already closed the case from their side, as you already know from the email we sent you, forwarding their reply to us.

Having said the above, we believe that is more than fair to resolve this case, as in our opinion, when two parts are having a dispute, both should comply with the regulator's decision.

We will continue our efforts towards resolving all the outstanding old complaints.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,
CampeonBet

Withdrawal delay increases significantly after winning
I would like to file a complaint regarding CampeonBet’s withdrawal practices.

I am extremely disappointed with the way this casino operates. When you are depositing and losing money, everything works smoothly. However, once you achieve a significant win, the situation changes completely.

At first, withdrawals are processed within 2–3 days, which creates the impression of a reliable casino. But when you win a larger amount, withdrawals become limited to only $500 per transaction, and suddenly the processing times become longer and longer.

In my opinion, this creates an unfair situation where players are forced to wait weeks to receive money that rightfully belongs to them. It feels like a deliberate tactic designed to encourage players to reverse their withdrawals and gamble their winnings back. If that is not the intention, then the casino should explain why withdrawal times increase so dramatically after a large win.

I submitted a withdrawal request on May 25, and it still has not been processed. Every email I send receives the same generic response: “The delays are not handled by our department” or similar copy-and-paste answers. There is never a concrete explanation, never a timeframe, and never any accountability.

It is simply not reasonable that withdrawing $2,000 can take close to a month because players are restricted to $500 withdrawals while each request takes an excessive amount of time to process.

Let’s not forget that before winning, I had already deposited and lost money at this casino. The least a casino can do is pay its players promptly when they win, without creating constant obstacles and unnecessary stress.

I am not asking for special treatment. I am simply asking to receive my money in a fair and timely manner. Players deserve transparency, respect, and efficient payment processing. Unfortunately, my experience with CampeonBet has been the exact opposite.

I hope AskGamblers can assist in resolving this matter and encourage the casino to process my withdrawals without further delay

Limits not set
This complaint is regarding serious failures in the handling of my account, specifically concerning my request for account closure and the implementation of mandatory deposit limits.

On 23 October 2025, I explicitly requested that my account be closed and that a daily deposit limit of NOK 10 be applied to my account. I received written confirmation from the casinos representatives stating that my account had been closed. However, it later became evident that this was not the case, as I was still able to log in and access my account.

Despite sending multiple follow-up emails and repeatedly being assured that my account was closed, the issue persisted. Ultimately, I had to contact the customer support via live chat and demonstrate that I was still able to log in. Only then was my account finally closed.

When the self-exclusion period ended in January 2026, I discovered that no deposit limit had been applied to my account, despite my explicit request. Over the past few days, I have contacted the support team twice regarding this matter. On both occasions, I was informed that a deposit limit was in place, which is demonstrably incorrect.

Based on the assurances I received from your representatives—that my account was closed and that deposit limits had been applied—I continued to deposit funds. I therefore expect a full refund of all funds deposited after I was given these assurances.

In addition, I strongly urge the company to take serious and immediate steps to ensure that customer requests related to responsible gambling, account closures, and deposit limits are properly implemented and verified. I find it deeply concerning that such critical safeguards have repeatedly failed, despite clear communication from my side.

I have extensive documentation supporting my claims, including email correspondence and deposit history. I consider the handling of this matter both alarming and unacceptable, particularly given the importance of consumer protection and responsible gambling obligations.

I expect a written response addressing this complaint, including confirmation of the refund process and an explanation of how such failures will be prevented in the future.

Endless requests for documents that are never accepted
Hello. I chose and trusted campeonbet because on your platform it has a good rating and a quick dispute resolution, but it seems that with me their behavior does not reflect all this.
It all started in October 2024, I was already fully KYC verified, VIP member, and I had already made some withdrawals of $1000 (which is the maximum for each withdrawal). Then after some winnings and withdrawal requests that were rejected, the support asked me for documents for the source of wealth (strangely not after my deposits, but only after the winnings, even though I had already successfully withdrawn previously, so nothing changed in my account after the winnings, since the deposits had been made some time ago and before the last withdrawal). I want to point out that 80% of the current balance of my account are my deposits, therefore my money. The deposits were all made in cryptocurrency. In all these months I have collaborated (sending the various requested documents) and waited patiently for the resolution of the issue (unlike them who always responded vaguely, without ever being clear), but now the patience is over, considering that to this day the support continues to ignore me, that is, they no longer respond to my emails.
Before opening the dispute, I wrote 2 emails (1 week has passed), asking for support and a resolution without having to go through disputes or other actions, but I never received a response, and they received the emails, because I received the ticket confirmation email.
Regarding the documents for the source of wealth, initially I asked if the document had to demonstrate a minimum amount, and they told me that the document does not have to demonstrate a minimum amount. So I sent the appropriate document, and they rejected it saying that it does not demonstrate the amount deposited in the casino, even though I had asked this question, so they contradicted themselves. I am not employed, I work as a private individual, so I send invoices to my clients and my clients pay me in cryptocurrency. I sent the invoices, which cover the amount deposited in the casino and the transactions mirror those of my wallet. An external agency certified that the wallets belong to me, and they also certified my SoW (this document was also sent to them). The casino first said that the invoices must have both signatures (mine and the customer), which is not mandatory (I asked a local lawyer) and is not done in 90% of the invoices. The invoice has my signature, and the customer confirms receipt by paying it. Then they said that they are not suitable documents at all...
Finally I sent a loan agreement, and the loan fully covers the amount deposited in the casino + 30%. And despite having to wait 3 weeks for 1 response, and then 3 weeks for another response, their conclusion was that the contract does not adequately justify the amount deposited. Which is not true, because the loan fully covers the amount deposited + 30%. When I asked for explanations about this and why it does not justify the amount (April 9), to this day I have never received any response. Now they just ignore me, I don't even deserve a simple answer. In addition to all this, I also sent documents for a house inherited from my mother and a bank deposit statement. All these documents, fully cover the amount deposited in the casino, and prove my SoW. But the intention of the casino is quite clear, given the long waiting times to receive a response and in the end they are totally ignoring me.
I don't like having to open disputes or anything, but it seems that it is the only way to receive a response from them.
80% of the balance in the account is my money, which I have blocked in their platform for many months and I can't use it. I have only played slots, and I have never broken the terms and conditions.
I have sent some documents as proof, if necessary I can send other documents/emails (that I sent to the casino), example invoices, agency letter, loan agreement etc. And I also have various videos of my account where all pages are visible, recorded in multiple periods.
I hope to resolve the issue as soon as possible and return to using my account normally.
Thanks
