20Bet Casino - Player’s account has been closed unexpectedly.

Hello. I am a resident of South Korea. I have been betting on a scam site called 20bet for about two months, and I believe I have lost over 2 million KRW in total. Today, I made a final deposit of about 900,000 KRW (700 USD) and turned it into 8 million KRW (about 6,000 USD) before applying for a withdrawal. While withdrawing, I spoke with a chat agent and mentioned how I was unable to stop gambling because it was so fun, almost as if I had chips in front of me. Suddenly, my account was logged out, and I received a permanent suspension due to gambling addiction. I have never once asked to have my account suspended. The casino manager said they would refund all the funds in my account, but I cannot trust that. I just received the KYC verification, and I have just sent an email. What should I do?

And what's truly devilish about this casino is that in the past, when I lost all my money, I asked the manager to delete my account. At that time, the manager gave me free spins and told me not to give up because there were plenty of bonuses. However, now that I've won money, they suspended my account without me even asking for it.

I mostly bet on the online blackjack and the balance i have right now is my real money.

1.I sent a complaint email to the casino, and in response, I received a reply stating that my account was permanently closed due to the clear enforcement of responsible gambling policies. I will attach the email content for you.

2.The casino requested KYC verification from me, stating that they would refund my balance. I have sent multiple emails to 20Bet to check my remaining balance, but all I’ve received are automated responses telling me to wait. I am unable to verify how much money I have left. However, I recorded a video of my balance just five minutes before my account was suspended, right after my last blackjack win, so I will be watching to see if they are trying to scam me. I am continuously sending emails about the refund timeline, but the casino has not provided any specific information.

3.Yes I have. I will send you an e-mail about that.

4.yes I will do now

By the way, I have a question for you.

I am currently reading refund policy in 20bet.com

It says

"If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with our services and request to issue a refund for the balance currently held in your account. Before a refund is processed all bonuses and winnings in your balance will be deducted before calculating the amount to be refunded."

I was forced to have my account closed, and I am very worried that the casino might void all of my winnings based on the cited regulation, only refunding the deposited balance. This is concerning because they are scammers. Could you possibly provide an answer to this question?

So i have read the e-mail with my vip manager, I was asking them i want to delete my account and move on to the stake.com because they don't have any free bonus and the manager said they have free bonus offering to me. I guess it won't be a big problem.

What i really concern is i feel like they won't refund me balance i have on that account but only deposit they could send it to me.

Thank you very much, rl335812, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Kubo (jakub.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hello, I am currently facing a more serious problem. My winnings, which were originally 8,270,000 KRW, have now been reduced to 700,000 KRW. The casino is still delaying my withdrawal, dragging out the process. Let me explain how this all started.

On October 11, I made two deposits in total. Based on UTC time, I made my first deposit of 150,000 KRW at 00:19. I received an additional 50% reload bonus but made the mistake of betting more than $5 on blackjack without reading the bonus terms. As a result of losing repeatedly at blackjack, I ended up losing all of my first deposit of 150,000 KRW. Feeling devastated, I made a second deposit about 40 minutes later at 01:03. This time, I deposited a significantly larger amount of 700,000 KRW. After several hours of repeated wins, I accumulated 8,300,000 KRW.

However, after a review by the casino, my winnings were reduced to 700,000 KRW. The reason they gave was that I had activated the bonus from my first deposit. I lost the entire balance from my first deposit of 225000KRW including bonus, and I didn’t use any bonus for my second deposit. All of my winnings came purely from my second deposit. I sent a complaint to the casino, and their response was as follows:

"As we can see, your deposit was made on 2024-10-11 01:04:36 UTC, the bonus was activated on 2024-10-11 00:24:17 UTC, therefore you used your deposit bonus to accumulate your first winnings with breaking the maximum possible bet rule, then from those winnings more was accumulated."

The casino is making absurd claims and only responding with these types of template messages.Here’s your statement translated into English:

It is completely incomprehensible how all of my winnings from the second deposit are being confiscated due to a bonus that was activated before the second deposit was even made. Furthermore, I want to emphasize once again that I lost the entire amount from the first deposit!

They’re insisting that the bonus, which was supposedly activated during my first winnings, applied to my second deposit as well, despite the fact that I lost all of the balance from the first deposit and didn’t receive any bonus for my second deposit. Furthermore, they are not processing my withdrawal. This is outright fraud!

Hello!

Allow us to clarify the situation. A user won, but on the same day his account was closed due to GP. We immediately started processing the withdrawal and during the verification we found a violation of the maximum bet, which is a violation of the bonus wagering terms. As such, the winnings have been written off.

We are currently processing the refund of the last deposit amount. There have been technical difficulties with the payment system and we are waiting for information from the payment provider. As soon as the issue is resolved, the withdrawal will be finalised.

Dear 20Bet Casino,

Thank you for your clarification. Could you kindly provide the player's game log that shows where the maximum bet rule was violated by sending it to my email address at jakub.m@casino.guru?

Hello Kubo,

We have already sent you a message to the email address provided. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Dear rl335812,

Thank you for your patience. I want to let you know that I am currently in communication with the casino representative outside of this thread, who has provided me with your game logs. I am thoroughly reviewing these logs and have requested clarification on several points.

It indeed appears that your bets during a bonus gameplay significantly exceeded the maximum bet limits in almost every instance. Anyway, once I receive all the necessary information from the casino, I will promptly update you on our stance.

Thank you again for your understanding.

Dear 20Bet Casino,

As previously mentioned, I sent you an email with additional inquiries. I would appreciate your response at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your cooperation.
