Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Greece has requested a withdrawal prior to submitting this complaint. Their winnings haven’t been received yet. The casino replied to the complaint and explained that the player had failed the verification process on a partner brand casino for using a third-party payment method to deposit to their account. The player admitted to this openly, stating that they had experienced issues using their own payment method and so had used a friend's. Unfortunately, it is strictly against the terms of the casino to do this, so the complaint was eventually rejected.

Dear SLOTK1LLERS,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests.
That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint.

If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Complaints Resolution Center

Thank you for your reply, SLOTK1LLERS. Do I understand correctly that you are not aware of breaching any of the points listed in the email from the casino?

If there is any other communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. Thanks.

Hello SLOTK1LLERS,


The casino has provided evidence suggesting that you have failed verification at a partner casino (Rabona) for using a payment method that does not belong to you, and consequently your accounts at all of their brands have been closed.


Were you aware of the failed verification at the other casino?


Kind regards,

Adam

good day...i remember this transaction and the reason it happened was because my mastercard didn't work that day for some reason so i used my friend's card with whom we were at the same place...you can check it and from the ip the transaction was on...no one else got into the account or broke anything nor did I try to do anything illegal...and besides the ban happened before I even tried to verify on either of the 2 companies...

Dear 5Gringos Casino,


Can you clarify please?

  • Has the player used the same card to deposit at 5Gringos Casino?
  • How many times was the card in question used?


Kind regards,

Adam

Good day,


The card was not used at 5Gringos. Per our records, the 3-rd party payment method was used once.


Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Hello SLOTK1LLERS,


Essentially I just need to understand if the accounts at both casinos were active at the same time.


For example, am I correct in stating that you requested a withdrawal at Rabona Casino, provided documents for verification, and then did the same at 5Gringos a short time after?


Kind regards,

Adam

in rabona I didn't ask to make a withdrawal because I didn't have time to play...only in 5 gringos did I ask to make a withdrawal and then to identify myself...whatever I did I did it first in 5 gringos and then in rabona

Dear 5Gringos Casino,


I appreciate that the terms and conditions of the casino have been breached by the player's use of the third-party payment method. However, as it has only been used once, it could be that the player's explanation of the situation is correct.


As the card in question was not used at this particular casino, I wonder if 5Gringos might consider paying the player's winnings in this case, while of course keeping the accounts closed at the discretion of the casino.


Kind regards,

Adam

Good day,


Using deposit methods that belong to a third party is a serious violation of our Terms and Conditions. We do not have any evidence to confirm that the customer was authorized to use that payment method, nor it is allowed under the regulations. 


We are willing to refund the last deposit the customer made on his 5Gringos account as soon as the customer provides the bank details. 


Please let us know if you have any questions.


Sincerely,

5Gringos

I can give you the facts you need to see that what I am saying is true and show you that the fact that you took my money and closed my account is wrong and unfair because your company did not accept mine the first time bank card

Dear SLOTK1LLERS,

 

Unfortunately, after reviewing all of the information gathered once more, it has been decided that we can assist you no further with this case.

According to the casino's terms and conditions:

 

"4.1 By opening an account on our Website and by using our Website you warrant that:

...

the credit/debit card or any other payment method that you use to top up your account balance belongs to you, is not stolen, and has not been lost by another person. Company reserves the right to close your account and void any winnings in case of a reasonable suspicion that you have violated this warranty."

 

This is a rule that is common to most, if not all, online casinos.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-players:

 

"Payments

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 even if it has only happened once, this rule has still been breached and the casino states in its terms that any accounts at all partner sites will be closed at the same time. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or when this possibility is communicated beforehand, but that is not the case here.

 

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 account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only. As such, upon your request for a withdrawal at 5Gringos Casino, the use of this payment method has been detected at the partner casino.

 

As you have stated that you are not 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 in this case.

 

Consequently, this complaint will now be rejected. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

 

Best regards,

Adam
