Hello Casino Guru team,
I would like to file a complaint against Mellstroy Casino
(operated by 1Win N.V., Curacao license OGL/2024/587/0621,
website mellclip.com).
MY DETAILS:
— Username: dimmma3731
— Account ID: 1554520
— Balance at the time of blocking: 240,321.70 RUB
— Requested withdrawal: 120,000 RUB
— Deposit currency: RUB (Russian rubles)
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS:
1. I played at Mellstroy Casino using slots from licensed
providers: Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw, PG Soft, NetEnt.
2. On 16.10.2026 at 18:03 I submitted a withdrawal request
for 120,000 RUB to my Russian bank card. The request
was accepted and placed in "Pending" status.
3. Instead of processing my withdrawal, the casino demanded
that I make an additional deposit of 5,000 RUB to
"verify my bank details", citing clause 8.12.2 of the
User Agreement.
4. Clause 8.12.2 states that the amount of the "verification
payment" is determined by the casino's "financial
department" at its sole discretion. This allows the
casino to arbitrarily demand any amount from the player
as a condition for receiving their own money.
5. I asked the support agent "Yana" clarifying questions:
— on what legal basis the payment amount is determined
arbitrarily;
— whether the payment is refundable if the withdrawal
fails;
— whether the casino guarantees no further demands.
6. Instead of answering, agent Yana issued me a "spam
warning" and blocked my chat without explanation.
7. Shortly after, my account was fully blocked by the
administrator without any explanation. The balance of
240,321.70 RUB was frozen, and the withdrawal request
of 120,000 RUB remains unpaid.
WHY THE CASINO'S ACTIONS ARE UNLAWFUL:
— Requiring an additional deposit to withdraw your own
funds is a hidden commission.
— Bank details are verified by documents, not by money.
— The clause allowing the "financial department" to
determine the payment amount arbitrarily is a tool
for extortion.
— Blocking the chat and account instead of answering
on the merits is evidence that the casino does not
intend to pay.

REQUEST:

conditions.
