What happens if the dispute is rejected?

TL;DR

The initial resolution stands. You receive a detailed explanation by email with the reasons for the rejection. No internal appeal after the admin decision. You can appeal to an external mediator (Cameroon's gaming authority), contact details provided. Rejected disputes count in your history.

What happens in practice

When your dispute is rejected:

  • The initial resolution stands. If you had lost, you stay a loser. If you had won, you stay a winner.
  • Your KTK are released from escrow (since the bet leaves the DISPUTED status) and applied according to the initial resolution.
  • You have nothing to do. It's automatic.

The bet moves from DISPUTED status to RESOLVED status in your history, with a note "Dispute rejected on [date]".

The explanation you receive

The admin sends you a detailed written explanation by email and in the app:

  • The reason for the rejection: usually "non-factual grounds", "insufficient evidence", "invalid interpretation", "dispute out of scope".
  • The reasoning: why the admin believes the initial resolution was correct.
  • The sources: references used for the decision (API URLs, official screenshots, etc.).
  • The ticket number: for future reference.

This transparency matters. You know exactly why you lost the dispute, not just "no, sorry".

Your options after a rejection

Once rejected, you can't re-dispute the same bet with different grounds. The admin decision is final.

But you still have two options:

1. Request a re-examination from general support. Only once. General support can check that there was no procedural error (for example, the admin forgot to look at evidence you had attached). If an obvious error is confirmed, the dispute can be re-examined by another admin. It's rare and exceptional.

2. Appeal to an external mediator (see next section).

The external mediator: your last resort

Ktkarena is regulated by the Commission nationale des jeux de hasard du Cameroun (CNJHC). If you believe our admin decision is clearly wrong, you can refer the matter to this authority for an external appeal.

How to proceed:

  1. Send a letter or email to the CNJHC presenting your case.
  2. Include your dispute ticket ID with us, the admin decision, and your evidence.
  3. The CNJHC investigates independently and can impose a binding decision on Ktkarena.

Contact details: available on the CNJHC's official website (cnjhc.cm) or by contacting our support, who will pass them on to you.

Important. The external mediator only handles major disputes. For a 10,000 KTK bet, you'll probably be turned away. But for significant bets (from 1,000,000 KTK) or cases of obvious fraud, it's a serious recourse.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No, unless you file repeated abusive disputes. A single rejected dispute is not a problem.

If you have new evidence or an argument you hadn't provided before, you can request a re-examination via general support. If you have nothing new, the rejection is final.

Cameroonian law generally allows 30 days after the final internal decision. Check with the CNJHC for the exact deadline in your case.
