NorthStar Bets Casino Ontario - Spelarens deposition har inte återbetalats.

I am an individual located in British Columbia, Canada.

There are two versions of the Northstar Bets website: one is for individuals in Ontario, and the other is for individuals located in the rest of Canada.

On March 10, 2026, I accidentally made a $9,000 CAD deposit into the Northstar Bets Ontario website. I did not realize I was using the Northstar Bets Ontario website.

As soon as I realized the error, I immediately advised live chat. I also sent numerous emails to support, and also called their support line.

For more than 1.5 months now, the company has refused to refund my $9,000 CAD deposit. I have explained to them the error, provided them with proof of payment, and answered all questions and provided all documentation they have requested. They continue to delay the process and refuse to refund my deposit. I am still missing $9,000 CAD. I have not wagered these funds.

I have continually been told for 1.5 months that they are looking into the issue, but no progress or updates have been provided.

I can provide any supporting documentation as needed.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

• Could you specify whether you registered separately on both versions of the casino, or if your existing account details worked on the Ontario version without any issues?
• Have you made any successful deposits into your "Canadian" NorthStar Bets Casino account before?
• What response did you receive from customer support after you explained the situation? Could you please forward your full communication with the casino, including their most recent response regarding the refund? My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.
• At the time of the deposit, were you physically located in British Columbia? Also, were you using any VPN or similar software that could affect your location?
• Lastly, could you describe the steps you followed when making the deposit? Were there any location checks, pop-ups, or verification steps shown?

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

Hello Veronika,

• Yes, I registered separately on both versions of the casino. I believe I did so on the same day, and erroneously registered for the Ontario version first. The Ontario version and the Canada version have separate logins and registration requirements, though the websites looks virtually identical. It was very difficult for me to even understand that I was originally on the Ontario version as I was still able to register using my British Columbia address and contact information.

• Yes, I successfully used the Canadian version of Northstar Bets Casino with no issue. I made a successful deposit and withdrawal, and used the Canadian version with no issue.

• I have not received any substantive response from customer support at all. They consistently refer to following up with the "relevant team", but they refuse to provide any specifics, any timelines, any details, or anything of substance in terms of how this issue will be resolved. It's been nearly 2 months now. I feel like there is no intention to resolve this issue on their end.

• I will send you supporting documentation of their responses.

• At the time of the deposit, I was physically located in British Columbia. I was not using a VPN or any similar software at all.

• There were no location check ups, pop ups, or verification requests when I deposited on the Ontario website. Strangely, they allowed me to register on the Ontario website using my British Columbia address. Again, I could not tell that I was on the Ontario version as it is not clearly indicated on their website, and each version of the websites are virtually identical.

Thank you.

Thank you for your detailed explanation and cooperation.

I would just like to clarify a few more details regarding the sequence of events.

• Could you please specify how you realized that you had deposited into the Ontario version of the casino instead of the Canadian version? At what point did you become aware that there were two separate platforms?
• Additionally, could you clarify the timeline between the Ontario account registration/deposit and the creation/use of your Canadian NorthStar Bets account? For example, did you create and use the Canadian account only after noticing the issue with the Ontario platform, or were both accounts created around the same time?
• Lastly, can you confirm whether the $9,000 deposit on the Ontario version remained completely unused at all times, without any wagers or bonus activity connected to it?

Hi Veronika,

• I only realized I had deposited into the Ontario version after I tried to play a game. I was prevented from playing the game due to not being located in Ontario. In other words, the casino did not block me from depositing or registering, but did prevent me from playing. Once I realized I was on the wrong version of the website, I contacted support immediately.

• I initially registered for the Ontario version first, back in December 2025. Again, this was done in error. I did not deposit at that time, but once I realized my error, I signed up for the Canada version on the same date. I successfully deposited, played, and withdrew from the Canada version with no issues.

• It has remained completely unused. I have not placed a single bet. It is a regular deposit, with no bonus associated with it.

In your previous responses, you stated that you had already registered on the Ontario version of the casino in December 2025. However, you also indicated that you only became aware of the Ontario platform after the March 2026 deposit incident.

To further verify your statements, please provide any available screenshots of your Ontario account profile, particularly those confirming the personal information entered during registration (including your declared British Columbia address).

Additionally, please confirm whether any identity verification (KYC) was required or completed on the Ontario version of the casino prior to making a deposit or attempting to play. As Ontario-regulated platforms typically require verification before deposit access, we would like to understand how this process worked in your case.

Hi Veronika,

Thank you. I understand the clarification you are seeking.

To clarify the timeline, I registered for both NorthStar websites in December 2025. I first registered on the Ontario version, but I did not initially realize that it was a separate Ontario-only platform. The Ontario and Canada websites looked very similar, and the Ontario platform allowed me to register using my British Columbia address and contact information.

Once I realized there was also a Canada version, I registered for the Canada version on the same day. I then used the Canada version without issue. I was able to deposit, play, and withdraw on the Canada platform.

The problem occurred when I returned in March 2026. At that time, I mistakenly logged back into the Ontario version, again without realizing it was the Ontario-only platform. I then made the $9,000 deposit into that Ontario account. I only realized the problem after I attempted to play and was blocked because I was not physically located in Ontario.

So, to be clear, I had registered for both accounts in December 2025, but the March 2026 deposit was made because I mistakenly logged into the Ontario account rather than the Canada account. The two websites were extremely similar, and the Ontario platform allowed me to log in and deposit despite my British Columbia address and location.

I also confirm that no KYC or identity verification was required before I registered for the Ontario account or before I made the $9,000 deposit. I was not asked to complete any meaningful identity verification before depositing. The first meaningful restriction I encountered was only after I attempted to play, when I was blocked because I was not physically located in Ontario.

I can provide screenshots of the Ontario account profile showing the personal information entered during registration, including my British Columbia address, if the platform still allows me to access that information. I will gather and forward those screenshots to you by email.

Finally, I confirm again that the $9,000 deposit remained completely unused. I did not place any wagers with those funds, and there was no bonus activity connected to the deposit.

Thank you again for your assistance.
