The block was lifted early


5 days ago
Hello! On March 7, 2024, I requested that my account be blocked for a period of 99 years. The account was indeed blocked. However, in April 2026, the block was lifted after I contacted support via chat—something they should not have done. On March 30, 2026, I deposited 54,819 RUB and withdrew 31,855 RUB. I am requesting a refund of the difference between the deposit and the withdrawal, which amounts to 22,964 RUB. The casino violated its own policy by lifting the block before the scheduled expiration of the 99-year term.

Dear all,

Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details and/or proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that Pinco Casino management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions.

Dear @syyplay2,

Your account was originally not permanently self-excluded. You didn't ask for a permanent block due to gambling issues. Therefore, you could reopen it. Since it is self-excluded permanently at the moment, if any reopening happens, please contact our Team.

Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved, and it is now officially closed. While we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

First, review your rules. You're contradicting yourself. You state, "For reactivation, you must submit a written request to have the account restored. We will remind you of the responsible gaming tools available and encourage you to complete a self-assessment questionnaire before proceeding with the reactivation." The next sentence: "Self-exclusion cannot be revoked before the end of the selected exclusion period. If you choose a lifetime self-exclusion, it is permanent and cannot be undone." I will insist on your violation to the last. I await an assessment of the entire situation from the AskGamblers team.

Hello!

Before drawing conclusions, please make sure you are referring to the most up-to-date information.

Section 12.1 of the User Agreement states: “You may close your account at any time and request the withdrawal of any remaining funds, less any applicable fees. To close your account, you must first cancel any open bets, if applicable, and contact the Website’s customer support at [email protected].”

There is also Section 12.3: “If the reason for closing your account is related to concerns about a possible gambling addiction, you must contact respon­sib­leg­ami­ng@­pin­co.w­in.”

These are two separate procedures. If your account is blocked under Section 12.1, meaning not due to a gambling addiction, then the length of time you specified is irrelevant.

If the reason had been stated as "gambling addiction" and the duration had been specified as permanent ("forever"), then yes, your account would never have been reopened.

Thank you for contacting us.

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I completely disagree with the statements made by the Pinco Casino representative. I have carefully re-read the terms and conditions, specifically the "self-exclusion" section. The rules state that they do not have the right to lift the block before the requested period has expired—regardless of the reason, whether it was due to addiction or voluntary self-exclusion. I requested a 99-year term, yet they lifted it after just two years. This is a clear violation. I do not understand what they are trying to prove when I am presenting facts taken directly from their own site's regulations.

Pinco Casino is blocking the withdrawal of my balance through an impossible verification requirement
After passing identity verification and receiving several successful payouts, Pinco Casino blocked the withdrawal of my remaining balance of 168,197.2 RUB.

I registered in April 2026 via a recommendation link from the affiliate site GipsyTeam, made deposits and played. In mid-May I passed identity verification (face photo + international passport), after which I successfully withdrew several times: 17.05 - 38,000; 20.05 - 10,000; 21.05 - 6,776; 22.05 - 50,000 RUB (about 104,776 RUB paid out after verification).

On 24 May, two withdrawal requests of 60,000 RUB each were cancelled, and from that moment the withdrawal of my balance has been blocked. A repeated verification was started in which the requirements kept changing: a series of selfie-with-passport photos taken against the background of my account page were rejected for different reasons (visibility of the date and time on the monitor, wrong page, readability). On 3 June I sent a photo strictly following their latest wording, and it was accepted for review (up to 5 business days).

On 9 June, instead of a decision, they issued a new requirement: a utility bill for the address listed on the Pinco site (clause 10.3 of the User Agreement). However, my account has no address listed at all, so there is nothing to match the document against, and I live in rented housing with no utility bills in my name. The requirement is therefore impossible to fulfil as stated.

As of today, my balance of 168,197.2 RUB remains inaccessible. There is no final list of requirements and no confirmation that the funds will be paid out after I fulfil them. GipsyTeam support relayed my questions to Pinco's managers, but there has been no concrete answer for over a week.

My bets were ordinary markets (tennis game handicaps, corners, cards, totals) with both wins and losses, without any prohibited schemes. I am the sole user of the account and always logged in from the same devices. Under Pinco's own rules I have not violated anything: Russia is not on their list of restricted countries, and their clause about VPN concerns only circumventing geo-restrictions, which do not exist for Russia.

What I am asking for: a complete and final list of the remaining verification requirements in one go; which address document they will accept from a tenant who has no utility bills, and for which address, given that none is listed in the account; written confirmation that the funds will be paid after these documents are provided; and the payout of my remaining balance of 168,197.2 RUB.

Account blocked without proof

I am submitting a formal complaint against the online betting platform Pinco (https://pinco-cc-23.com/Yyz), operating under Curaçao license No. GGL/2024/580/0570.

On September 19, 2025, my account (ID: 90635043) was blocked without warning and $42,500 was unlawfully withheld.

I registered on the site specifically to place sports bets during Champions League football matches. I was not interested in the casino section, nor was I focused on using bonuses. However, upon my first deposit, I was automatically given a 120% bonus.

I placed my real funds on football bets, and then casually played some casino games for fun. Within 20–25 minutes, I lost the entire bonus balance. Later, the platform gave me a free bet (50), which I used and also lost — again, I had no real intention to gain from it.

That evening, all my football bets won, and I had one tennis bet remaining. The platform offered a cashout of approximately $42,500, which I accepted, and I submitted the withdrawal request.

When I contacted support to ask about withdrawal timelines, they told me it would be processed within 24 hours. However, the funds never arrived. When I checked my account again — it was blocked, with a message saying: “bonus abuse detected.”

I immediately contacted support for clarification. However, they refused to provide any evidence or specifics, only quoting generic responses and PS Rule 11.8, which allows them to act at their “sole discretion.”

I strongly believe this rule is being abused intentionally by the company as a one-sided mechanism to avoid paying out legitimate winnings. Their responses were vague, repetitive, and clearly scripted. They ignored my direct questions and shifted blame, without offering any factual proof of wrongdoing.

I also have screenshots of multiple conversations showing:

Contradictory statements from different agents

Refusal to answer direct questions

Deliberate delay and misleading answers

I suspect this company applies Rule 11.8 selectively — only when players win big — in order to cancel payouts. I have also found many similar complaints online from other users who were treated in the same way.

I kindly request a full investigation of this matter. Please verify:

The actions taken by this operator

The legitimacy of blocking my account

The validity of confiscating $42,500 without concrete proof

This type of behavior damages trust in Curaçao-licensed platforms. I ask for your help in restoring justice — not only for me, but also for many other victims of this practice who may not know how to file a formal complaint.

Sincerely, ID: 90635043

My withdrwal declined several times

Hello, i need help. I am from Azerbaijan. I have made a bet in pinco casino and i won 1848.98azn (1087usd).

I have verified my profile with my own goverment id card and with face recognation also approved mail address which i registered ([email protected]) but they dont give men money. My withdrwal declined several times. Each time i make withdrawal they say to me everything is okay your account verified during 24 hours your money will be in you card. But after hours the declined withdrwal. I ask why you declined withdrawal? They told me that you need additional face recognation which we have sent link to your mail address. They sent link from forms.kycaid.com. And this link not working normally in my phone. They sent several times i told them it doesnt work corretly. They told me try with other phone. When i tried it has worked. Finally i complete this verification also.

But in this link they also asked me some other question like from which phone you open account which type of bet you doing etc. I asked all questions correctly.

Only i confused one question which they asked "From which phone do you open account?" The time was only 5 second for answering. I thought that they talked about mail account because this verification they send to my mail. But all other steps i pass. And now they say wait we will check. I dont understand, why they doing this? I passed verification in official site of pinco with my official giverment id card and also face recognation. I verified my mail adress also. Why they declined my withdrawal? Why the want additional face recognation verification from 3rd party site links? How i can trust 3rd party site links?

Please solve my issue. I will attach some screenshoots for proof. I will attach theese files:

1. My account verification status and mail from pinco that your account has been verified.

2.My account information my balance.

3.My betting story.

4. The screen of 3rd party site link which they send to my mail.

5. Some messages with them which they say you account approved everythink okay after 24 hours you get money after decline, they say that you need additional approve.

All these files i will attach in win rar format below.

Please solve this issue thank you!
