I am submitting a formal complaint against Betiro for withholding a total of €50,000 in legitimate casino winnings, based on a hidden and retroactively enforced "tier" system that was never visible or explained to me.
Chronology of Events:
1. First Win:
- I won €35,000.
- Betiro claimed I was a "standard tier" player with a 24-hour payout cap of €10,000.
- They paid out €10,000 and withheld €25,000 without any warning or prior information.
- At no point during or before the win did I know what tier I was in, or that such limits even existed.
2. Second Win:
- I won another €35,000 on a different day.
- Again, only €10,000 was paid.
- Another €25,000 was withheld under the same reasoning.
- My tier was still not visible, and I received no warnings when exceeding the limit.
Unfair Practices:
- The so-called tier system is completely hidden from players:
- No tier display in the account
- No visible criteria for tier upgrades
- No warning when nearing or exceeding payout caps
- Tier changes only happen after large wins are withheld
- Win limits are enforced retroactively, not proactively
Facts:
- I have made many deposits over time — I am a long-term and serious player
- I won a total of €70,000 across two sessions
- Betiro only paid out €20,000, and withheld €50,000 based on unclear internal rules that were not disclosed
What I Request:
I respectfully ask that Betiro:
- Pays the remaining €50,000 in withheld winnings, or
- At least explains:
- My tier status at the time of both wins
- How tier levels are assigned and communicated
- Why no warnings were issued before placing bets that exceeded hidden limits
This feels deceptive and violates principles of fair play. I had no way to know I was breaking any limits and should not be penalized for that.
