What to do if there is a dispute with an international casino
Disputes with international casinos can arise for various reasons - delayed payments, cancellation of winnings, account blocking or disagreements on the terms of bonuses. Australian players, when playing on overseas platforms, cannot expect to be protected by local regulators, so it is important to know the correct procedure.
1. Keep all correspondence and data
Take screenshots of notifications, support chats, bonus pages.
Save letters and transaction history.
Record the dates and times of all casino interactions.
2. Explore casino terms and conditions
Check the Terms & Conditions section at the time of registration and the current version.
Pay attention to the points regarding bonuses, vager, rates and payment terms.
Make sure that you have not violated the rules on the use of VPNs or limited countries.
3. Contact support
Describe the problem clearly and with evidence.
Require a ticket number to track the case.
Save all operator responses.
4. Escalate a dispute inside a casino
Ask to forward the case to the manager or resolution department.
If necessary, contact through alternative channels - social networks, official forum.
5. Contacting an external arbitrator
Find out which regulator issued the casino license (MGA, UKGC, Curacao, etc.).
Find a form for player complaints on the regulator's website.
Provide a complete dossier on the dispute: dates, correspondence, screenshots, transactions.
6. Use independent mediation platforms
AskGamblers, Casino Guru and similar services offer free dispute resolution.
These venues often help to reach a compromise, as the casino values a public reputation.
7. Avoid emotional conflicts
Communicate correctly and reasonably.
Emotional or aggressive statements reduce the chances of a positive decision.
8. Preventing disputes
Play only at licensed international casinos.
Always read the terms and conditions before activating the bonus.
Use payment methods with provable transaction history.
