Can I get my money back if the casino cancels my account
Why casinos cancel accounts
Operators with a Curacao license can block or close a player's account for several reasons:
What happens to the balance when canceled
If the blocking is justified by a violation of the rules, the casino may confiscate funds.
In case of technical or erroneous blocking, the money must be returned.
If the cancellation is related to the closing of the casino, the refund depends on the availability of reserve accounts and the integrity of the operator.
Chances of a refund
High, if the player did not violate the conditions and is ready to provide all the requested documents.
Average if the reasons for blocking are controversial, and the casino is ready to make contact.
Low if the operator indicates a clear violation of the rules recorded in the logs.
Algorithm of actions for refunds
1. Evidence gathering
Save your support conversation.
Take screenshots of the rules and bonus conditions at the time of registration.
Fix the date and reason for blocking.
2. Official appeal to the casino
Write to the operator's official email.
Clearly indicate the requirement to return the funds and attach evidence.
Ask for a written explanation of the reason for the cancellation.
3. Complaint to Curacao regulator
Find a master licensee or Curaçao Gaming Control Board (depending on the type of license).
Fill in the complaint form indicating all the details and attached documents.
Wait for a response (review time - from 2 to 6 weeks).
4. Parallel actions
Publish a complaint on independent resources (AskGamblers, Casino Guru).
Warn other players about the problem.
Features for Australian players
Offshore operators are not subject to Australian regulators, so it all depends on the Curaçao Gaming Control Board.
The use of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to return through payment services - Chargeback is available only when paying with cards.
It is important to save all the rules and conditions in advance, as the casino can change them after blocking.
How to reduce the risk of loss of funds
1. Pass KYC immediately after registration.
2. Do not violate bonus terms and betting limits.
3. Play only in casinos with a positive reputation and a confirmed license.
4. Avoid anonymous and recently discovered operators.

The more evidence and official appeals, the higher the chances of a positive outcome. It's particularly important for Australians to only work with trusted brands and get verified straight away to avoid controversy.
