VulkanVegas Casino - Refusing to pay legitimate winnings

Hello,
I would like this time to give you the full experience on VulkanVegas Casino.
On 8.07.19 I have decided to make a deposit on this casino. I have spoke with one agent on livechat , I think his name was Allan and I asked him for a match bonus because I was thinking to make a deposit worth 3,500E . We have agreed to reach a total balance of 17,500E so that's a 400% match bonus.
1.First step was making the deposit , after the first attempt I could deposit only 1,400E (see first screenshot) then they have claimed that is something wrong with the card I have to call my bank to be able to make the deposit or use a different card or deposit option. (see 2nd screenshot) . My bank told me I should be able to make the deposit and there is no issue with them or my card. After a few tries I decided to try a different deposit option and I went to deposit the rest of the money with my EcoPayz wallet. (see 3rd screenshot). Finally after I made the rest of the deposit 2,100E they have sent me a e-mail saying that the bonus was added in my account .(see 4th screenshot).
2. After the bonus was added I have started to play untill my balance was down to 11,000 (aprox.) I have played a lot of games for the next hours and then decided to come back the next day because I was tired. Following the next day , I have done the log in and started again to play untill my balance was gone down to 0.08E , then again I decided is time to make a new deposit and start playing again. Just before I have done my second deposit I went in to the bonus section and canceled the remaining 0.08 and the wager as well because I didn't wanted to play with a bonus anymore. I have created my 2nd deposit of 85E with my ecopayz wallet(see 5th screenshot) and received a bonus with a wager as well, I went in the bonus section and canceled that bonus and the wager for it.
3. I have lost my 2nd deposit as well and then decided to make my 3rd deposit with my bank card because my wallet was empty (see 6th screenshot), I did not received any bonus or wager for my 3rd deposit and I have started again to play, after some game action I was lucky to get 8000 credits on a free spin bonus round on a game called "Dr. jekyll and mr hyde" , I don't remember exactly the bet but I think it was between 5-10E . After that won I won again some more money on the same game but nothing really special, only that big win of 8000 made a lot of my balance.
4. Of course when my balance was up to 8,351E I have decided to create a cashout request, all good untill the next day when they have contacted me saying that they will not pay the cashouts because I have made a bet higher than 5E while I was on the bonus money (see 7th screenshot) and if I want to access again my account I have to accept their condition to cancel my winnings(see 8th screenshot). Of course I have not accepted because what's going to happen if I will deposit and win again?
They will cancel the winnings again because I have "violated" the Bonus T&C ? Or they will pay the winnings to me? If they will void again the winnings it means for me that they are trying to fool me and try to take my money again. And if they will say they will pay the winnings than why don't they just pay my actual balance? Because maybe is a big too much money?
5. After a phone call they decided to send me a e-mail with more explanation about the case. (see 9th screenshot) where they claim that it does not matter that I didn't win from their bonus (so clearly I have won from my cash) and I made them carry out the loses when there was no lose for them as even if I have made a bigger bet than 5E my bonus was lost by me & then giving me a non-sense trafic light explication . And again asked me to cancel my winnings in order to access my account again. And again I am asking what is going to happen if I deposit again and win? They will keep again the winnings or they will pay ? (see 10th screenshot)
6.After I have clearly told them that my real cash balance is out of my real cash deposit and there was no bonus balance converted to cash they decided to close my account and void my balance as well because I didn't accept their condition as I don't want to be scammed. (see 11th screenshot)
They let me make 2 more deposits thinking that I will lose that as well but when I won they decided to keep the money, in their rules it does not say you are not allowed to make cash deposits after you make a bet higher than 5E .
I would like to get more proves but I am afraid that they have blocked my account straigth away after I won in order to keep my out my account and take screenshots of my deposits and show you that there was no wager active or bonus when I won .
I have played on different casinos with the same rule and none of them refused to pay a cashout if I won just from my cash money, please get in touch with them asap.

Dear Mariokizz

On behalf of Vulkanvegas I’d like to apologize for the delay in reply, that was caused by the technical issues.

Along with the Curacao regulator and licensor we’d investigated your case scrupulously.
The key aspects that we were focusing and the facts of which were provided to the licensor:

1) At the registration, the player agreed to General T&C and Bonus T&C that apply at all the times during the gameplay.
2) What we saw analyzing the game-play is an obvious bonus abuse - the player makes bets with bonus money that are way higher that 5 euro (in accordance with the Bonus T&C), if to be specific - 755 spins:
- 88 bets of 75 euro/spin;
- 127 bets of 60 euro/spin;
- 59 bets of 45 euro/spin;
And so on….

As a result, our anti-fraud and casino management departments consider such fact as an explicit bonus abuse, that cost the company quite a big sum in losses.

According to the T&C:
“7. The maximum bet allowed when playing with bonus money is of 5 EUR / 5 USD / 500 RUB / 5 CAD / 20 PLN / 2000 KZT per spin until your wagering requirements have been completed. Violation of this rule can lead to cancellation of bonus and all winnings from it, as well as to voiding the real balance amount.”

There is no any mentioning of the dependencies to any specific bonus (-es) or any prerequisites to the specific deposits. The play check gets performed at any time, when we may notice suspicious activity of the player.

As a solution to the issue we may see the refunding player with the last two deposits and allowing him start from ‘the clear sheet”.
Should you agree to the terms, please contact our support.


Best regards,
Alexander

Deposit not credited and refund indefinitely delayed
I deposited 125.83 USDC to v.Vegas on the Ethereum network on September 26. For the purposes of this complaint, the amount in dispute is approximately $125.83, using a 1:1 USDC/USD exchange rate.

I made an error when making the deposit: on the casino website, I had selected USDT on the Ethereum network, but mistakenly sent USDC instead.

Immediately after realizing my mistake, I contacted v.Vegas through live chat. I explained the situation and asked for assistance. The agents refused to escalate the matter because of an arbitrary 96-hour waiting period. I understood from the outset that the deposit would not be automatically credited because I had sent USDC instead of USDT, and that the funds would require manual intervention. I have experienced a similar situation with another casino previously, where an incorrectly sent cryptocurrency deposit was manually credited.

Despite this, the v.Vegas agents insisted that I had to wait 96 hours and would not escalate the matter.

The 96 hours subsequently passed and nothing had happened. Only then did v.Vegas agree to investigate the matter and request the information necessary to locate the funds. I provided the transaction hash, screenshots of my wallet, and both the sending and receiving addresses.

The transaction was successfully completed and the funds were sent to the casino's wallet. I originally wanted v.Vegas to simply credit the funds to my playing account. Instead, after investigating the matter, v.Vegas decided that they would issue a refund. They then requested my cryptocurrency address so that they could send the refund, and I provided it.

I am now receiving contradictory and completely unsatisfactory explanations from support.

Some agents are telling me that the refund has no timeframe whatsoever and that it depends on the "workload of specialists." Another agent has told me that they are waiting for a provider to "locate" my deposit.

This is absurd. The transaction has already been identified and I have provided the transaction hash, wallet screenshots, and the sending and receiving addresses. Furthermore, v.Vegas has already decided that the resolution will be a refund rather than crediting the funds to my playing account.

I have been waiting for a resolution since September 25. I have fully cooperated with every request from the casino and provided all of the information required to identify the transaction.

I need clear answers from v.Vegas as to what is actually happening with my funds and, most importantly, a clear timeframe for when the 125.83 USDC will be refunded.

I do not accept an indefinite timeframe based on the "workload of specialists." If a third-party provider is involved, v.Vegas should clearly explain what remains to be done and why this is taking so long. The blockchain transaction itself can be sent within minutes once the refund is authorized.

I originally asked for the funds to be credited to my playing account. It was v.Vegas that chose to resolve the matter by issuing a refund. Having made that decision, they should now process the refund without further unnecessary delay.

I am attaching screenshots of my correspondence with v.Vegas to document the sequence of events, the information I provided, and the contradictory explanations I have received from their support agents.

I am asking AskGamblers to assist in obtaining a clear answer and a definite timeframe for resolution, and I expect v.Vegas to process the refund of 125.83 USDC without further delay.

VulkanVegas Casino - Repeated Withdrawal Failures for 20 Days
I would like to file a complaint against Vulkan Vegas regarding repeated withdrawal failures.
For the last 20 days, I have been trying to withdraw my money. Each time I create a withdrawal request, the casino keeps it pending for about 5 days and then cancels it with the reason “technical reasons.”
This has already happened 6 times on my account.
Earlier, three withdrawal attempts of around INR 8,800 each failed, and after that three more withdrawal requests were also cancelled, making it a total of six failed withdrawals.
My latest withdrawal details:
Amount: €266.98
Withdrawal ID: 3f1632d4-c793-4fe9-9e54-
This withdrawal was also cancelled again due to technical reasons.
I deposited using Cryptocurrency and Jeton Wallet, which were accepted without any problem. However, these same methods are not available for withdrawals.
The casino advised me to use bank transfer, but when I checked the cashier, none of the listed banks are from India, so I cannot use this option.
This situation is very concerning because:
The casino accepts deposits through Crypto and Jeton.
Withdrawals through the same methods are not available.
Withdrawals stay pending for several days and then get cancelled repeatedly.
I have contacted the casino support team many times, but the issue remains unresolved.
Therefore, I kindly request the AskGamblers team to investigate this issue and help ensure that my €266.98 withdrawal is processed

VulkanVegas Casino - Accusing me of being in another country or using VPN

Hello,

I have been a long-term verified player at Vulkan Vegas since 2020. I have never had any issues or violations.

On 06.12, the casino flagged my account due to a single login showing an Austrian IP address. I live in Slovenia, close to the Austrian border, and I use mobile data on my telephone, which sometimes routes traffic through neighboring countries. This is a known and common issue and does not represent VPN usage. It's something that happened one time without my power to control it.

I clearly stated that I was not in Austria and did not use any VPN.

The casino never provided any proof of VPN usage or any evidence of wrongdoing.

Instead of presenting evidence, the casino offered to unlock my account only if I agree to void my full balance (€3488) and accept only €250 as their ''good gesture'' to me. This feels like pressure to give up my winnings without any valid justification because I won too much and they dont like it.

My balance was obtained through correctly completed bonus wagering and subsequent gameplay with real money, which is fully legitimate. On the day of the accusation, my balance was 500€. Over the course of the day till today, I managed to win up to 3488€.

I kindly ask AskGamblers to review this case and request the casino to:

Provide evidence of any real violation (if it exists), OR

Release my full legitimate balance of €3488.

Thank you for your assistance.

VulkanVegas Casino - 4000 EUR withdrawal delayed

Hello AskGamblers,

I’m filing this complaint due to an unresolved withdrawal issue with Vulkan Vegas Casino.

📌 Key details:

• Username: <email address removed>

• User ID: 67200605

• Amount: 30,000 DKK (~4,000 EUR)

• Withdrawal Method: Skrill (fully verified)

• Date of Withdrawal Request: 15 July 2025

• Transaction ID: 3096dc02-ef84-47d7-a880-5fc972d1f27e

📖 The full story:

On 15 July 2025, I requested a withdrawal of 30,000 DKK via Skrill from my fully verified Vulkan Vegas account. This balance is 100% real money, with no active bonuses or wagering restrictions.

Prior to this, I had attempted a withdrawal to my Revolut account, but that was declined due to Revolut no longer supporting transactions from Vulkan Vegas. I immediately submitted the same request via Skrill, which is fully verified and has been added as my preferred withdrawal method.

Since then:

• I’ve contacted their support several times

• Responses have been vague and unhelpful

• At one point, the chat was closed abruptly while I was still seeking clarification

According to the casino’s published Terms & Conditions, withdrawals in this amount range should be processed within 5 business days. As of 23 July, no money has been received and no concrete updates have been provided by the casino.

📎 Proof provided:

• Screenshot of account balance showing 30,026.62 DKK

• Transaction ID

• Will provide Skrill verification and chat logs if required

This is a significant amount of money, and the lack of transparency and delay is unacceptable. I kindly ask AskGamblers to assist in getting a resolution and ensuring that the casino honors its stated withdrawal policy.

Thank you for your attention.


Kind regards,
