Good day,


I won €28,000 on 5Gringos a few weeks ago.

Documents for verification were repeatedly requested, all of which I uploaded and were then confirmed (invoice from mobile phone provider, ID card and bank statements from the last 6 months).


Now my account has been closed without any reason and my deposit of 100€ has been refunded.


I had previously received €8,000 and now I still have €20,000 to receive.


Please help.


Thanks!

Dear Cupra290,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Could you please advise how long ago you registered your account and if you’ve completed the account verification successfully? Which games you’ve been playing (live games, slots, or multiplayer)? Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus, please?

If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hello Petronela,


Many thanks in advance for your help!

I should have registered on May 21st, 2022, since then I have played and deposited on the site from time to time.


My win was collected with no active bonus. I deposited €100 raw cash via SofortÜberweisung from Klarna for this prize.


I played mostly slots, but also a bit of live games.


My documents were all accepted, but I was then emailed that I did not pass the verification process and my account will be closed immediately.

I was then sent paragraphs of the terms and conditions against which I should have violated.


But I can't explain why I should have violated this. I earned this prize comfortably on my couch and didn't play any further after that.


Screenshots of the last status before closure are attached and also a screenshot of the reasoning.


I really don't know what I should have done wrong here 🙁

Good day,


Thank you for reaching out. 


During a routine check of the player’s account we discovered that the account in question is connected to another account opened with the same brand. There were funds transfers between the customers, as well as certain matches in the personal information. Both accounts were active in the same time frame and took advantage of our one-time promotions. After discovering the above circumstances, we closed the account in accordance with the following points in our Terms and Conditions: 


9.1 The Website may only be used for personal entertainment purposes only. The following activities are strictly prohibited and will be considered a material breach of these General Terms and Conditions:

<...>

colluding with other customers or third parties. This includes, without limitation, playing in the interest of others, sharing information, cooperating or coordinating with others;

<...>

9.4 Should we arrive at a reasonable suspicion that you have engaged in a fraud, any illegal or improper activity, or have otherwise breached the Terms, we reserve the right to take any number of the following action, at our sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice:

- immediately block your account and suspend your access to the Website and/or its services, suspend all pending withdrawal requests and other payments to you for the period of investigation;

- permanently close your account with the Website and all other partner websites on our platform and deny any future use of the Website and the partner websites;

- void any winnings obtained, cancel any pending withdrawals and refund the last deposit made into the account;

- void any winnings obtained, cancel any pending withdrawals and confiscate the real money balance of your account;

- void any bonus balance on your account and/or limit your future participation in our bonus and promotional offers or deny them to you;

- contact the relevant authorities to inform them of any suspected illegal activity and/or to collect any payments that you owe to the Company.


The customer was informed of the above via email. We hope the above clarifies the situation.


Please feel free to contact us should you have further questions.


Sincerely,

5Gringos

Dear Michael,

Dear 5gringos team,


First of all, thank you for the detailed response to the email that you sent me with the closure.


First of all I would like to say that I only have one account with you. A second account does not exist.

The fact that I am linked to another account is not correct, what exactly do you mean by this and how exactly do you assume that this could be the case?


Therefore, I vehemently reject any allegations of fraud and manipulation raised by 5gringos against me and my account in the online casino. The official documents presented to verify my person, as well as the deposit history in the casino (which can be taken from the bank documents from the last 6 months), show the identification and authenticity of my person, so that no allegations of fraud can be made in the room. The justification for closing my account is therefore unacceptable from my side.


I don't know why I should have violated the terms and conditions of 5gringo. I have verified myself with the data that I entered when registering at your casino and are identical to these. I'm a hobby player who finally got lucky, who proceeds without any system or something similar.


Thank you in advance for your feedback.


Best regards, Tim

Dear Cupra290,

Hello Michael,


I am not aware that a family member or a resident plays at 5gringos at the address I have given and live.


I know that my brother plays slots occasionally, but I don't know if he does with 5 gringos.


Even if he is also a customer there and plays slots, it would not violate the terms and conditions. It is certainly not forbidden for several people from one family to be a customer at a casino and play slots.


It doesn't change the fact that I'm still a single person. With your own residential & registration address, bank account and your own identity, which I have shown and proven with official documents - even if the same family name occurs.


What evidence do you need from me?


Best regards

Tim

Dear 5gringos team,

Dear Michael,


Thank you very much for the transparent and positive clarification of my case.


I received the first payout emails from 5gringos yesterday,

I also received the first payout of €500.00 to my account today.


I hope that the further payments will proceed in the same way and that I will receive the remaining amount of approx. €19,500.00

get paid smoothly.


Special thanks to the Casino-Guru team for their efforts.


If any problems arise I will report back,

even if everything went smoothly and I received my money,

I'll get back to you with positive feedback.


Many greetings,

Dear Cupra290 / Tim,

I'm glad you've received your first withdrawal. I assume 5Gringos Casino has informed you about the withdrawal limits, if not, please bear in mind that the limits are €500 per day and €7000 per month, so it will take a while to withdraw the whole sum if you wish to. Anyway, this is up to you how you decide. Keep us updated on how it's going. I will leave this complaint open for now, but I'm sure there won't be any issues with the payout.

Dear Cupra290 / Tim,

In some cases, the casinos can pay the whole sum to the player in one transaction, but this is solely up to the casino. Usually, the casino's payout is according to their withdrawal policy rules, which is fine.

Anyway, how much of your winnings have you already received?

Dear Cupra290 / Tim,

Thanks for the update. The €1500 already received is not too bad. If I count it correctly the whole amount should be with you within circa 3 months.

I will leave the timer to finish the 7 days and afterward I will close the complaint as Resolved. We will keep in touch via email. If for any reason there will be something not right I will reopen the case, but I believe everything will be paid out to you as planned.

We would like to thank both parties for their cooperation, and please do not hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future. We are here to help.

Hello dear 5gringos team,

Hello dear Michael,


I haven't heard from the casino for about 1 week now. Nothing was paid out except for the €1500.


I've just checked, I'm back on my account, which is now verified and I could make payments myself again.


But since 5gringos wrote that they want to make the payouts, I'm not sure what to do.


Request for feedback.


Best regards,

Tim

We consider this complaint to be resolved as the player has been successfully verified and the winnings are being paid out. The payout will take some time, so I will provide feedback once all the winnings are paid out to the player.
