Subject: Complaint Regarding Account Closure and Unpaid Winnings

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I am writing to seek assistance regarding a dispute with Leon Casino concerning unpaid winnings and the closure of my account.

Background

On 6 May, I accumulated winnings of approximately AUD $10,000 through a combination of sports betting and casino games, including roulette. Earlier that same day, I successfully withdrew approximately AUD $1,500, which was processed and received in my bank account without issue.

However, when I attempted to withdraw the remaining balance of around AUD $10,000, my withdrawal was not approved.

Verification Process

Following my withdrawal request, Leon Casino asked me to complete additional verification procedures. I fully cooperated and provided all requested documentation, including:

Identity verification documents.

Additional account verification information.

A photograph of myself holding a piece of paper displaying "Leon" and the current date, as requested.

I completed every verification request promptly and in good faith.

Account Closure

After completing the requested verification steps, I received the following email from Leon Casino:

"In accordance with the decision of the security department, your account is locked.

We realize that this may cause inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding. The decisions made by our security department are based on the safety and security of all our users and the system. It is not subject to change.

Since receiving this message, I have been unable to access my account or withdraw my winnings.

Lack of Clear Explanation

Over the following weeks, I repeatedly contacted Leon Casino seeking clarification regarding the closure of my account and the status of my funds.

Unfortunately, I was never provided with a clear or consistent explanation. Different reasons were mentioned during my communications, including:

Alleged fraud concerns.

Claims that I had withdrawn more money than I had deposited.

These explanations were confusing and did not make sense in the context of my account activity. I have not been provided with any evidence or detailed explanation to support these claims.

Evidence

I have supporting evidence available, including:

Screenshots showing my winnings.

A screenshot showing my name listed among the casino’s top winners along with the amount won.

Records of the verification documents I submitted.

Email correspondence regarding the account closure.

Requested Resolution

I respectfully request Casino Guru’s assistance in reviewing this matter and helping me obtain a clear explanation from Leon Casino regarding:

Why my winnings have not been paid.

The current status of the funds remaining in my account.

I believe I complied with all verification requirements and acted in accordance with the casino’s procedures. I am therefore seeking a fair resolution and payment of my legitimate winnings.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Leon Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

• Could you please advise how long you were a player at the casino and when exactly your account was blocked?
• How did you learn about your account being blocked?
• Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus?
• Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello Tomas,

Thank you for your response.

To answer your questions:

How long were you a player at the casino and when was your account blocked?

I had been a player at Leon Casino since 5th of march 2026, My account was blocked shortly after I attempted to withdraw approximately AUD $10,000 in winnings on 6 May 2026. Prior to this, I had successfully withdrawn around AUD $1,500, which was received in my bank account.

How did you learn that your account was blocked?

After completing all requested verification procedures, including providing identification documents and a photo of myself holding a piece of paper with "Leon" and the date written on it, I received an email stating that my account had been locked by the security department and that the decision was final.

Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus?

No, my winnings were achieved through sports betting and casino games, including roulette. I did not use any bonus that would justify withholding my winnings.

Communication with the casino

I will provide screenshots of my communication with Leon Casino, including the email informing me that my account was locked and any other correspondence relating to the closure of my account and unpaid winnings.

What concerns me most is that I fully complied with every verification request made by the casino, yet my account was still permanently locked. During my attempts to obtain an explanation, I received inconsistent reasons, including allegations of fraud and statements that I had withdrawn more than I had deposited. No evidence or detailed explanation has been provided to support these claims.

I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your help in resolving this matter.

Kind regards,

Dear Leon Casino Team,

At all times, the funds and winnings in question were reflected in my account balance and were visible within the Leon Bets platform.

I have screenshots showing my name on the account together with the balance/winnings displayed by Leon Bets.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

The player has failed the video verification procedure. Based on the results of the video verification, we are certain that the player did not use the account themselves and either sold the account to a third party or used their credentials to register the account without personally playing on it. Consequently, the remaining funds have been forfeited, and the account has been permanently locked.

Best regards,

Aleksandr

Leon Compliance Team

I strongly deny these allegations. I created the account myself, funded it with my own money, completed the verification process, and personally placed the bets. I have never sold my account or allowed anyone else to use it. I respectfully would like you to provide the specific evidence they are relying on to make such serious accusations, as I believe their conclusion is incorrect.

Dear Leon Casino Team,

Thank you for your response.

We acknowledge your statement that the player failed the video verification and that, based on its outcome, you concluded that the account was operated by a third party. However, as this resulted in the confiscation of the player's remaining balance, we kindly ask you to provide further clarification regarding the basis for this decision.

We understand that you may not be able to disclose all details of your internal fraud prevention procedures publicly. Nevertheless, could you please explain what led you to conclude that the player was not the genuine account holder? In particular, we would appreciate clarification as to whether this conclusion was based solely on the outcome of the video verification or whether it was supported by additional evidence gathered during your investigation.

If you are unable to share such information publicly, we would appreciate it if you could provide any relevant evidence confidentially via email at barbora.p@casino.guru for our independent review.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We look forward to your response.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

Our conclusion was not based solely on the outcome of the video verification.

During the verification, the player was unable to answer basic questions regarding the activity on the account. We can also confidently state that the player was not truthful when answering several of our questions.

In addition, our internal investigation identified further concerning patterns related to the player's activity. While we are unable to disclose the specific details of our fraud prevention methods, we can confirm that the decision was based on the overall findings of our investigation rather than the video verification alone.

Based on all of the available evidence, we are fully confident that our conclusion is correct and that the measures taken in this case were justified and in accordance with our T&C.

Best regards,

Aleksandr

Leon Compliance Team

How was I not truthful? I answered every question that was asked. The security team asked me how much I was betting, and with the number of bets I placed, I couldn’t give exact amounts. My betting history has also been removed, so I had no way to check it. Every answer I gave was honest to the best of my knowledge.

At this point, all I want is my money. You haven’t even returned the deposits I made into my account. I don’t know what else I can provide. It’s my account, and I am the only person who has ever used it. Please review my case again and let me know what else you need so this can finally be resolved.

Dear Leon Casino Team,

Thank you for your response.

Before we proceed further, I would like to ask whether you would be willing to share the recording of the player's video verification with Casino Guru if the player explicitly agreed to it.

I completely understand that this is sensitive information, and we would only use it to independently review the circumstances of this complaint. The recording would remain confidential and would not be shared with the player or any third party.

If this is something you would be willing to do with the player's consent, I will ask the player to provide their authorization.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
