Case summary

1 week ago

The player from Japan claims that their account was frozen when they attempted to withdraw funds. The casino reportedly confiscated winnings from other players citing bonus abuse, but no specific criteria exist in the terms of service. The player insists on a rightful allowance for balance withdrawal.

I tried to request unpaid withdrawals, but the casino froze my account.

(I have not received any communication from the casino as to why.)


After investigating the complaint, I discovered that there were other players who had their winnings confiscated by the casino or had their accounts frozen at the same time as mine.


The casino seems to be citing abuse of bonuses as the reason, but no specific criteria exist in the terms of service, and I have never received such a warning from the casino.


I would like the casino to properly allow me to withdraw my balance.

Dear andandjonnyx,

Could you please confirm that you passed the full KYC verification?

Could you kindly send me the link to the bonus you took?

What types of games did you play?

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

Best regards

KYC has been completed and there have been several withdrawals in the past.

I can't post a link to the bonus because my account is ban.

I don't even remember the game, but I confirm that it was within the maximum wager limit and that the wagering requirements were properly progressive.

Hi Stefan,


I hope you are well. I have emailed you the players transactions for you and your team to revise. As per our company policy, we rigorously check accounts for any instances of bonus abuse, and it is imperative that we do not allow such behaviour on our site. Consequently, accounts belonging to bonus abusers are promptly closed.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.


Kind regards,

Alphabook Team

What exactly is meant by bonus abuse or misuse?

We could not find any guidelines in the Terms of Service such as 'percentage of bonuses to total deposits'.


file

It is a very vague phrase and can be interpreted arbitrarily by casinos depending on their business conditions.




Also, I have used the bonus several times and have never received a warning from the casino after making a withdrawal. Nor was there any action taken to disqualify me from using the bonus.


Even stranger, three people, including myself, have filed similar complaints around the same time.

This indicates that the casino has suddenly changed its policies recently.

Dear Casino Guru.

I think you understand that there is no justification for the casino's confiscation, so please order the casino to refund the money.

Hi Stefan,


We've sent you an email containing all the information for your team to review thoroughly. This will help them understand why we have frozen this player's account. We believe this information will be more than sufficient to close this case. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

What we are hearing are specific terms and conditions, and warning emails.


I used the bonus several times and never received any warning from the casino.

Bonus usage was always constant, but several successful withdrawals were also made, which is evidence that the casino decided that there was no problem.


There should have been no problem with the maximum wager.


Please make the information properly available to me as there could be a misunderstanding.

Dear Stefan

Please send me an email as well.

I have no recollection of this and it is possible that the casino has misunderstood.


I looked at the Terms of Service, but there is no list of prohibited games and no mention of how often bonuses are used.

I can't find anything in the terms and conditions about the betting amount, but it shouldn't exceed $5.



Why does the casino refuse to interact with me and send one-sided emails to Stephan?

You only claim to have violated and abused it, but have not provided any evidence.

Dear Alphabook Casino,


I have reviewed your emails and could you state if "GT" is a game provider? If so, we believe there are two viable options. The first option would be that you return the deposit to the player. The second option would be to return the gameplay to the original state and allow the player to wager the bonus with the 10% contribution in these games.

I hope we can come to a mutual agreement.

Public

What are we talking about?

If you are talking about the percentage contribution to each game's bonus, it is changed from time to time, as stated in the Terms and Conditions.

(The genres and reflection rates in the Terms and Conditions are only a guide; the actual rates vary widely from game to game. I also know of a game that is not on this list at all, but has a 20% reflection rate.)


file



Are you saying that the game was set as 100% contribution rate when I was playing and later changed to 10%?

And are you trying to apply that to past plays?

That makes no amount of sense.

Before that, there doesn't seem to be a 10% game genre anywhere.


file

Also, what is GT? At least I don't know of any such game prop provider, and I don't see one listed.

This casino has had multiple accounts frozen and complaints filed against them. Are you sure you are not mistaking me for someone else?




It was the casino that I claimed violated the Terms of Service. Please provide proper evidence of this.

Otherwise, we will not agree to any of this.


Dear Stefan


Please forward your email to me as well.

Also, the casino claims to have given me a refund, but no refund has been given. Please allow me to provide evidence of that as well.

How long is the casino going to keep stalling?


The casino has already refused to respond with a late payment complaint that has gone unresolved.


However, this casino fears that the casino's reputation will suffer,

They tried to end the complaint by lying that the withdrawal was completed.


And of course, I still have not received the money in my account,

I can't even log into my account.


The amount of time I have spent on this complaint is not small.

Why is there not even an apology?

What account did the casino withdraw the money to in the first place?

I have yet to provide a virtual currency address since I filed this complaint.


You wouldn't be foolish enough to say that you withdrew funds to an address you used a few months ago, would you?

It's not like you don't know that virtual currency addresses change accounts on a regular basis, right?


I was first denied a withdrawal and filed this complaint quite some time ago.

I have never given the casino my new virtual currency address from that point on.


Yet the casino claims that the withdrawal was completed.

What in the world does this mean?


For starters, please put the transaction ID for the virtual currency transaction here.

I have checked my most recent virtual currency deposit history and there is no evidence of a deposit from this casino.

I have not provided another address to withdraw to, and there is no deposit history in my virtual currency wallet.


What in the world is your proof?

What proof do you have that I have already made a withdrawal on the casino's site?

What in the world does it prove that I was verified with an account that I can't even log into?


Dear Stefan


Please post here the proof that the casino provided this withdrawl.

I have submitted the evidence that I have not received the money as shown here.

As you can see from this complaint, I have not yet provided the address of the virtual currency to which the withdrawal is to be made.

Whatever hash value the casino submitted,

I would process the withdrawal myself when my account is restored.

I would provided the withdrawal address to the casino that decided to refund my money.


There is no virtual currency address in this complaint thread at all,

It should be impossible for the casino to provide refunds in the first place.

See this complaint. (It's a predecessor to this one)


As you can see in the summary section, the last successful withdrawal was on December 18.

I am submitting the complaint because my withdrawals have been denied ever since.


Also, so that chats are posted along the way,

I submitted a withdrawal request on December 29 and was denied on January 3 as well.


The hash submitted by the casino is withdrawal history prior to the filing of this complaint and is not relevant to this complaint.


The casino stated that they have already refunded the $4,500 left in my account.

There must be at least one transaction that existed after January 3.


However, I did not apply for a withdrawal, and I don't recall putting the address of the withdrawal address on this complaint.

Where on earth did the casino send the withdrawal to?

Regarding your request for additional information, please understand that certain details are considered internal sensitive information and cannot be shared publicly. Compliance guidelines restrict us from disclosing more than what has already been provided.


For Casino Guru, the timestamps are crucial. We've included dates and times of each transaction within the timeframe, from the player's enrollment until today.


However, we are unable to share Transaction IDs or disclose which employee completed certain actions or used specific payment providers. The information already provided should be sufficient.


Thank you for your understanding.

Hi andandjonnyx,


I wanted to inform you that since Stefan, your assigned resolver, is currently on vacation, I have decided to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Given that Stefan possesses the most comprehensive understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, I believe this extension is warranted. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and I assure you that Stefan will reach out to you as soon as possible.


Thank you for your understanding and continued patience.
