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!

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.

Closed account and confiscated money with unjustified accusations

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.
