Complaint #13 LuckyStar Casino

Closed account and confiscated money with unjustified accusations

By Bolefuku

7 years ago

I have played several times at this casino over the course of around half a year.

It wasn’t going great for me and I have quickly lost around 6-7 thousand euros. In the end I had ended up depositing around 7500 euros and during few last sessions started doing mostly high bets hoping to win my money back.

Finally luck turned my way and I even finished with some winnings of around 1500 euros. I have decided to stop gambling at that point for a good while and cash out the money. I have noticed then that the casino only allowed cash outs at a maximum 1000 eur at a time. After requesting and getting my first cash out, LuckyStar asked that I provided additional documents, which I went out to get. To my surprise, when I wanted to log in to my account to upload the requested documents, I found my account to be inaccessible. I have also received an e-mail stating that I was being accused of card counting, as it seemingly falls into the category of ‘suspicious betting patterns’ that is prohibited in their terms and conditions, and that their decision to void my account was ‘final’ and they ‘will not engage in any further discussions’.

Basically, the way I understand, LuckyStar didn’t like that I won, threw out ‘suspicious betting pattern’ card at me and kicked me out not only taking my winnings, but also 7500 euros of deposit! If the same situation were to happen in a real life casino, I strongly believe it would pass as a criminal violation i.e. theft, regardless of casino’s internal policies.

I therefore seek your help to get my money back and hopefully stop LuckyStar from stealing other people’s money in the future.

Dear Askgamblers,

May I inquire as to what your stance is in this situation?

I would like to reiterate, that what has happened here, is equivalent to a real life casino situation where a player is denied access to a casino and all the winning that they had on the table and in their wallet/purse being taken away from them by force.

All that, because the casino decided they didn't like the style of play and the winnings of this player.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

GP

Hello.

As we said, our decision is final and it's confirmed by Game Provider's Risk Assessment Report.
Returning the funds to the abusive user is something we can never agree to do.

Kindest Regards,

LUCKYSTAR Casino

Dear All,

Given that there was no 'foul play' on my part - I did not use information other than information available to everybody playing at the tables, I placed bets within allowed limits and played strictly to the rules - I see no grounds whatsoever for my money to be confiscated.

I believe card counting to be useless in online casinos anyway, due to only half of the cards being dealt, which is a protection against card counting that is already in place.

Punishing the customers for playing games that don't generate enough income to the casino, i.e. stealing their money is by no means fair and contradicts worldwide legal principles for protecting individual's property.

Therefore, I must insist that my money be returned to me in full.

Best Regards

Long awaited withdrawal

Dear AskGamblers Dispute Team,

I urgently request your intervention regarding my ongoing dispute with LuckyStar3.io.

For the past two months since winning, I have been subjected to constant withdrawal delays, repeated cancellations, and irregular payment patterns. Despite numerous emails to the finance team, I have never received a single response. When I contact customer service, they repeatedly tell me they “cannot help” and that only the finance team can resolve it — yet no finance manager is ever available except via email, which goes unanswered.

This is not just an inconvenience — I have clearly explained to the casino that these funds are critical for my livelihood and to support my family. Still, the obstruction continues.

Additionally:
• Payments to my CoinSpot account have been inconsistent and unexplained.
• After four days of payments, there was an 11-day gap with no payouts, followed by only two more payments, and then another 6-day gap with no activity.
• This has dragged on for over 60 days, leaving the majority of my winnings unpaid.
• I have proof that my account balance reached as high as $169,000, yet the operator continues to stall and delay without justification.

The full details, including rapid cancellations and invalid transaction records, are documented below. Given the amount involved and the prolonged non-payment, I am asking AskGamblers to treat this case as urgent and high-priority to secure the immediate release of my remaining winnings.

Delayed payment no communication

On Tuesday, 24/06/25, I tried to cash out my 1000 winnings.

I never use bonuses, have a fully verified account, and often withdraw from this casino.

Usually it is paid within 12 hours, 24 hours max. It has now been 7 days,

I have emailed the finance department 5 times they will not respond.

Chat keeps saying it will be processed as soon as possible, but won't give any more information.

The website says my withdrawal should be paid within 48 business hours

Withdrawal cancelled and funds confiscated

Hello AG!

Last Saturday I received an email from LuckyStar casino saying that they will cancel my withdrawal request (320€), basically, because “how” I made the deposits and played the free spins (i made some deposits of 20€ and 25€ with bonus - sets of wager free free spins, claimable UNLIMITED number of times) They said: “in order to obtain new sets of free spins, all unused sets of free spins must be finalized.” On my answer to them I explained that was exactly what i did. I have screenshots that show information about the hours of my deposits and the hours of my gaming sessions. I played one set of free spins and then did another deposit and played the new one, and did the same on all other occasions. I do not accumulated the free spins and played all at once. It’s completely false that claim.

Another thing: i m a regular player of LuckyStar since 2021 and I took several wager free bonus in these 2 years. I always met the gameplay requirements, did several deposits and my bonus gameplay (deposits / bonus play) were always the same, absolute nothing different from this last time. And ALWAYS my withdrawals requests were approved. As you can see on screenshot attached: Several deposits of 20€ or 30€ associated with bonus (no wager spins) and validated withdrawals requests. Exactly the same kind of promotion / bonus. In all occasions, I played the set of spins one by one because they was claimable UNLIMITED number of times.

They cancelled my withdrawal request and confiscated my balance (320€). They also didn't reply to my last email (sent on Saturday) on which I explain everything what I m saying here.

Thanks in advance!

I played at this site on the weekend. Played through my bonus, made a second deposit, took no bonus, won $1700.00. Got my balance up to 1900.00, kept playing and cashed out at $1000.00. Received an email that my withdrawal was being processed. Then nothing for days. Checked my account, found withdrawal cancelled and $500.00 in my account. What the hell happened? Talked to Online chat - they couldn't help, emailed through Luckystar software, replied to my email about my withdrawal being processed and wrote a separate email to finance at Luckystar - NOTHING. i can't even get a reply or find out where my other $500 went!! Please help! Screenshot of my cancelled withdrawal AND $500.00 balance attached.

Withdrawals totaling $2930 still not paid

Hello, I have played recently on luckystar casino, I have got VIP status here which (what they promise) give instant and if not instant very fast withdrawalls and indeed I got some in 15-30 minutes. Unfortunatelly from OCT they started to be very slow (usually for a week) but they promised that it will be back to almost instant "next time" but it didn't... anyway I have still played here. On the 22 OCT I have made 4 withdrawalls (same time) and I got one after week another 2 after 1,5 week or so and the last one I didn't get till now... they have made many excuses - mostly that they have to check gameplay history etc. which has been done (they processed 3/4 of those so they had to check). Last one is still pending (13 days) and I have made 3 more (28th and 29th) which is again very late (VIP status). My Vip manager didn't respond to me for 24hours after I send him e-mail that I will start complaint here.
