22bet Casino - Player's account was blocked.

Hello, my account has been blocked and my winnings confiscated. I do not care about the winnings, I only request a refund of my deposit which is a total of 50 USD. Please, I need you to communicate with the casino as they are not refunding my money nor are they responding to my request. Attached is proof of my deposit at the casino via the Skrill deposit method.

The page has an offer called Lucky Friday Day where the user when making a deposit is given a 100 percent bonus. I entered 50 USD therefore they gave me 50 USD as a bonus (100%) I proceed to play, I win and I release the bonus in cash, when I proceed to request the withdrawal they notify me by email that I must verify my account, I send all the requested data to casino support, ID front back, selfie and payment processors, then the casino blocks my account stating that It is due to multiple accounts, which is not real since I have only one account. Since I cannot log in, I cannot make my withdrawal. I sent them messages. They did not answer any more and they also kept my deposit of 50 USD and my earnings attached below. screenshots of the conversation with the casino support via email I hope for a prompt solution that the casino will be notified, thank you

Please casino guru, be so kind as to contact the 22bet casino to give me an immediate solution and I lose my winnings but I demand that the 22bet casino return my deposit of 50usd. It is illegal for it to keep my deposited money. It is theft. It is fraud on the part of the casino, I am not interested if they block my account, I only demand that they refund the 50 usd deposited, they play dumb and send me the finished collaboration. What collaboration? If they did not give me my money, I demand my deposit money attached Proof of deposit of my 50 USD via Skrill with transaction number, date and time.

Thank you for your explanation.

Is there any chance that someone from your household or using the same IP address has also created an account at this casino?

Do I understand correctly that your account was closed after you submitted your documents for verification?

Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus? 

Hello guru, thank you for answering, I will answer your questions:

1) I have my own account with my address and my brother has his but he lives at another address, he does not live with me, he has his own internet service and I have mine

2) my account was closed once I submitted all the requested documents for verification

3) I deposited 50 usd and they gave me a 50 usd bonus called lucky friday, the promotion states that it gives 100% income for the deposit, I deposited 50 usd and they gave me a 50 usd bonus, that bonus is converted into cash by fulfilling the requirement to play it 3 times a combination of 3 games with a fee of 1.40 each game, once the bonus is fulfilled it is released in cash not exceeding the value of winnings of the same amount of income

In short, I bet the 50usd bonus and turned it into 50usd.

It would be a 50 USD deposit plus the 50 USD profit, giving a total of 100 USD.

But since they argue that I create multiple accounts, which is not true, since I have my own account, they blocked my account without giving me answers.

So if they don't want to give me the 100 USD of profits, I request that they delete my account but I want a refund of the 50 USD that I deposited, it is my money, it is my right, they are stealing what I deposit, it is illegal, I deposited 50 USD on the page from 22bet, if they don't give me the winnings they will refund me the 50 usd.

So both you and your brother have an account in this casino. Have you ever used a payment method to deposit to the casino that belonged to your brother? Alternatively, has your brother used your payment method for depositing?

Have you both ever logged into the casino from the same IP or device?

I only deposited once with my brother's account but the website allowed me to make a deposit with an alternative account. They never prohibited it or made a problem.

Regarding the second question, I always used my own IP from my home and my device, my brother has his own device and his own IP at home

If this is the reason for the problem of confiscating my winnings then I only request a refund of my 50 usd deposit

I want a refund of what I deposited, that is the problem, they do not return my deposited money, I want my money, please request a refund of 50 usd

I have checked the Terms and Conditions and this is what I found:

Deposits:

1. 22BET does not accept third-party deposits. You must make deposits only from a bank account, bank cards Visa/Mastercard (it is the cardholder's responsibility to know the laws concerning online gambling in their country of domicile), payment systems Skrill/NETELLER or other payment wallets/payment options that are registered in your own name (The administration does not recommend making deposits using someone else’s electronic wallet. The administration has the right to return funds to the holder of such an electronic wallet without prior notification).
2. If we determine during the security checks that you have violated this condition then your winnings will be confiscated. Furthermore, 22BET is not responsible for the loss of funds deposited from third-party accounts.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players: 

"For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations." 

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during the account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only. 

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you. Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
