€12,000 stuck at RainBet, dispute closed "Unresolved." What are my options?

[dannytherossie]

Posting to get some honest input from people who've dealt with these situations.
Background: I'm in Ireland. I made a first deposit at RainBet, took the welcome bonus, and won €12,000 on slots. I completed full KYC, including Level 4  webcam selfie and Source of Wealth docs. After verifying, my account was locked. They reopened it, I re-verified, and it was locked again.
Their claim: RainBet says I breached Term 9.6 (welcome-bonus abuse). Their evidence:

A Sumsub flag for multiple devices and my profile showing up across many casinos
Wallet links to other casino accounts routed through an exchange
An IP match to another account ("HappyCat") that had already claimed the first-deposit promo and another person.Who didn't claim any bonus

My side: I only have one RainBet account. The shared-IP stuff is normal here  most Irish ISPs use CGNAT, so lots of people share the same public IP. I switched devices during KYC because the site kept throwing errors. And yes, I've played at other casinos before  that's not against the rules.
The dispute: I filed with a mediation service. The resolver pushed RainBet for actual proof of a linked second account or a genuine KYC failure, and said a matching IP alone isn't enough. RainBet then went silent. After a 7-day extension the case was closed Unresolved — insufficient evidence from casino, and they got 6,926 black points against their Safety Index. The resolver was clear this wasn't a ruling that I'm owed the money — the investigation just couldn't finish because the casino stopped replying. It can be reopened if they re-engage.

What I'm asking:

Has anyone actually recovered funds from RainBet after a close like this?
Does the Anjouan license (ALSI-152406029-FI2) give any real complaint route? They display a Curaçao license elsewhere, which seems off.
Is it worth pushing to reopen the mediation, or is that a dead end once a casino goes quiet?
Any other leverage I'm missing?

Appreciate any straight advice, including if you think I don't have a strong case.

Let me ask around and see if I can establish something and facilitate a bridging between you and RainBet where I can verify all of your claims as well as theirs. Don't hold your breath, though, my connection with RainBet is still somewhat hair-strand thin.

Hi all,

This user was flagged for 1st time bonus abuse.

He had at least 3 accounts with the same betting pattern, IP address, etc.

He milked more than enough money out of us already.

We will not be replying any further to this thread.

Why would they choose to reopen a case when just losing a few points is all they lose by not replying? I can't say they do or don't owe you as I do not know the evidence they do or don't have, but their rep did reply and you are accused of multi-accounting n bonus abuse.

I personally have cashed out thousands from rainbet with 0 issues and I play there semi regularly. Sports and slots. I claim the rakeback and regular bonuses I earn by playing and have never faced an issue. I don't think they pulled your name/account out of thin air simply to not pay you 12k. Would be ridiculous to risk potential millions and their rep just to not pay you 12k.

Their system flagged you for a reason.

[holydarkness]

[...]

Their system flagged you for a reason.

I have a good experience so far playing in RainBet, losing some, recovering some, and all that shows their game is fair [slots, by the way], so I think it's safe to say that they're quite a good casino, though still at emerging state. And OP's complaint might be a hit-and-run, given they're basically only appear once and then went offline for less than an hour [I'll personally stay for couple more hours, be it on stand by or checking back every few hours].

Still, I am interested to see the discussion made on the ADR and the ruling, since our forum abide ADR's ruling [except when a binding mediation has been made here and all parties agree that it binds them all].

So, OP, if you can provide link to that ADR thread for us?

[dannytherossie]

I want to ask the forum members directly: is this normal behaviour from a casino rep?
Read their reply again. "He milked more than enough money out of us already. We will not be replying any further to this thread." That's an official RainBet representative talking about a verified customer in a public scam accusation thread.

Milked? I clicked spin on a slot machine. I can't control the outcome, nobody can, that's the entire point of a slot. The RNG decided I won. If I had lost my deposit, would they call that milking too, or would they have happily kept it? Winning is not a terms violation.
Now look at the actual "evidence" they're holding my €12,000 on. This is from their own back office:

HappyCat647: first seen on IP 212.129.78.194 on 27 July 2025
dannytherossie (me): first seen on that IP on 10 November 2025

https://postimg.cc/6ykvGn76
https://postimg.cc/87djJ3QX
https://postimg.cc/vD1TLDwY

The account they "linked" me to was on that IP more than 3 months before my account even existed. That's their smoking gun. A Dublin IP behind CGNAT, where Irish ISPs put thousands of customers on the same public address, touched by someone else a quarter of a year earlier. By RainBet's logic, half of Leinster is multi-accounting. And when the Casino Guru mediator pointed out exactly this, that a matching IP alone is not solid evidence, and asked one simple question, has HappyCat completed verification, RainBet went silent. Seven-day extension. Nothing. Case closed Unresolved with 6,926 black points on their public Safety Index.
A casino with real evidence answers the question. A casino bluffing takes the rating hit and posts "he milked us" on a forum instead.

So I'm asking the experienced members here, holydarkness, yahoo, anyone who's dealt with casino reps for years: is this how a legitimate operator handles a €12,000 dispute? An IP overlap from 3 months apart, an insult, a refusal to answer the mediator, and a walkout?
I did everything they asked. Level 4 KYC twice, webcam selfie, Source of Wealth. One account. I won on slots and they don't want to pay. That's the whole story.

[holydarkness]

As you inquired me... well, to be honest and from neutral perspective, casino usually are not so reluctant to provide supporting evidence to an ADR when asked, because when they [internally] flag someone for multi-acc, the account tripped several wire and not just IP address. Casinos are beyond doubt that said player cheated through cross-verification.

That said, I can't provide more input as I can't establish any bridging with the casino. Like I said previously, my connection to RainBet is still as thin as a hairstrand, and when I give my hand, it was politely declined. I can't conclude a case with just one side of puzzle, especially as I can't even find RainBet on CG, not sure if it's just me or others too.

So, do you mind to link us to your complaint thread? So we all can see and understand what transpired there and reflect them here?

Thanks for the honest take, fair points.
But that's exactly what I'm getting at. RainBet sits on a 9.0 rating at Casino Guru, and when a case actually gets hard questions, they just go silent and let it close Unresolved. The points barely dent them, so why would they ever answer? And I'm not the only one, other players in their complaint history got locked the same way, deposits kept, withdrawals denied.
That's the most unfair setup there is: the casino takes your deposit happily, but the moment you win, you're suddenly a "linked account." If I had lost the €12k, does anyone believe they'd have flagged me and refunded my deposit? Of course not. The flag only fires one direction.

LCB is your best chance to get paid. Most of time these sportsbooks don't have 100% proof of multi-accounting since it's AI doing a behavioral analysis. It's good but not perfect.

Much better as far as getting you paid.

And that's why I always aim for mediation instead of directly flagging a casino. Flag and/or reputation can only do so much, casino can still operates with that "dent", but a rightful return of fund, that will be much appreciated by players... though in your case, whether or not you're really entitled to raise a flag or a refund, is yet to be concluded as we're in the blind here.

I'll ask again, can you please provide link to your CG case, so we can read them?

[Rating Place]

One reason that I say LCB is that Rainbet most likely won’t deal with Casino Guru anymore. LCB is big and you may get community support with your case. They are a pro player site for the most part. There are a lot of casino reps on the site that reply publicly at times.

OP, as I finally managed to navigate through CG and zeroing to RainBet's complaint page [now they're safely bookmarked so I can access with ease] is this your case on CG? https://casino.guru/complaints/rainbet-casino-player-s-winnings-have-been-confiscated ? Approx. similar amount and same country. I think you forgot to mention that you failed to complete level 3 KYC due to time limit, though in here [suppose that's the correct thread] you're saying that you managed to get through level 4. Do you mind to explain the discrepancies?


Edit: Closing this thread with assumption that above-linked CG case is indeed OP's, and due to OP's lack of response. I'll mark this as resolved on the list.

[dannytherossie]

Yes, that's my case on CG  same amount, same country.

There's no discrepancy, just a confusing timeline, so happy to clarify. I didn't "fail" verification in the sense of being unable to pass it. I completed every verification level they asked for, including proof of address  the problem is I completed it after a 72-hour window I was never told existed. I'd submitted photo ID earlier and assumed I was fully verified. The first I heard that a separate "Level 3" (proof of address) was outstanding, or that it had a 72-hour deadline, was when they locked the account and refused the withdrawal. I then submitted everything and it was accepted — which is why I've said elsewhere that I got through the full verification. Verified account, confiscated balance.

So the sequence is: withdrawal requested → account locked for "missing the 72-hour Level 3 deadline" (never notified) → all documents submitted and accepted → funds still withheld.

Worth adding: once the case went to CG, the casino stopped relying on the KYC deadline and instead alleged my account was linked to a completely different username based on a single cropped screenshot of a matching IP  an allegation never raised with me before, and one they've refused to evidence despite requests. Draw your own conclusions about why the justification changed. I've now filed a formal complaint under their own complaints policy and a GDPR subject access request to force disclosure of the full logs.

I see. Thank you for your explanation.

First of all, a timeframe for completing KYC is not an unknown method and not exclusive on Rainbet, other casinos also utilize these time-based KYC to minimalize the chance of KYC selling or fake verification. Usually, the time-window is well communicated by email that link you to the level 3 KYC and/or notified together with the information that you're required to perform advanced KYC.

Not being able to fulfill this within the designated time, is considered as a failure to complete KYC. Though your documents are submitted and accepted, it might only get to the phase or status that it is accepted, not approved or verified, thus the documents submitted was never checked and your KYC was already marked as failed, even after you submit, because you missed the timeframe.

I hope this explanation can be understood.

Next, the forum abide ADR's ruling. That is why it is always advised to choose one ADR and to choose wisely. Given your case is declined with the reason as explained by the mediator, I am still bound to mark this as "resolved" instead of "pending" on my list, despite your attempt to get it tried by filing formal complaint.

Please update us if the result changed and favored you and the casino still refuse to obey the court ruling, by that verdict of highest authority --and their refusal to obey, only when these two conditions are met-- the status will be changed to "unresolved".
