Waiting for decision of regulator

UNRESOLVED

Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Portugal made multiple deposits and self-excluded themselves several times, but received emails from the casino offering cashback to entice them to return. They eventually made deposits, won €3,500, and requested withdrawals. However, after one day, their account was permanently blocked, and their money was confiscated. The casino is unresponsive to their emails and chat requests. The player was forwarded to a gambling authority as they didn't want to discuss the complaint with us. We are waiting for the regulator's decision.

Good afternoon!

I made several deposits over the months and self-excluded myself several times and the casino sent emails talking about cashback to get back into the game.

I always came back to make a deposit and lost the money, last week I made several deposits after having excluded myself and they sent one of their e-mails I came back I played and won € 3,500 I made the withdrawals and the money never came in, after 1 day I received an email saying that my account has been permanently blocked and my money confiscated, they don't answer my email or chat when I pass my I'd. I will send the withdrawals and the deletion email, I have proof of the last deposits made with my credit card as well.

Dear Fapoker,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.

Could you please specify what was the reason you self-excluded yourself from the casino? Have you explained to the casino why you wish to be self-excluded?

When you repeatedly came back to the casino, how did you activate your account? Did you have to ask customer support to cancel your self-exclusion?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Good morning

I excluded myself in the casino itself, because I only lost money there and never won, after a few days I excluded myself they sent an email saying that I had a cashback that was to contact support and play again, I did one of those rounds I won around 4000€, I put 1000€, 1000€, 1000 and 500€ for withdrawal and played the rest, they blocked me from the casino and they didn't answer me to any e-mail and in the chat when I pass the username they don't answer anymore .


I'm going to send the email they sent to play again, it was several every time I auto deleted.

there were 5 times that auto excluded and they agreed by sending an email to return. I have the 5 emails as proof.


thanks

I never replied to these emails, I asked in the chat to unlock and the chat asked me to send the screenshot of the email I received.

Did you request to be self-excluded because of a gambling addiction? Or were you just dissatisfied that you never won there?

I was with Vicios, playing in several and I excluded myself so as not to play in any more, but this is another one that is part of the same company Thor casino sent me the same email almost at the same time, because I had already excluded myself from 2 for 5 times and every time I came back I lost a lot of money and excluded myself, I had a bad time because I lost again and it was a lot of money.

Have you received any specific explanation about the "unfair advantage" which was the casino's reason for blocking your account?

What types of games have you played?

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

I didn't have a bonus, it was always cashback but I already spent it at the beginning, I like to buy bonuses and that's all I did, nothing else, I bought several bonuses and I got one right, I don't know what an unfair bet is, I always deposited little by little €100 by €100 more or less and I was playing.

If you can, you can ask for my betting history and you'll see that I always played the same games.

I'll ask for my betting history by email but, they never reply.

In their other casino they have the same complaints that when they win a good prize they block it for any reason and confiscate the money.

Dear Fapoker, I was able to contact a casino affiliate and was told that you are in breach of this rule:

32. Fraudulent Activities
32.1 We have a zero tolerance towards inappropriate play and fraudulent activity. We will seek criminal and contractual sanctions against any person involved in or suspected of involvement in fraud, dishonesty or criminal acts, or collusion or suspected collusion with other persons involved in fraud, dishonesty or criminal acts. This includes, but is not limited to, cheating, game manipulation, attempting to defraud us or other users of the website, payment fraud, payment reversals, use of stolen credit cards, money laundering or other attempts to deposit funds obtained from ill-gotten means. We will withhold all payments to you where your involvement in any of the above acts or activities is suspected and we reserve the right to suspend or close your Account and bar you from further participation in the website.

The casino doesn't want to discuss this complaint with us further so I can only recommend you to contact their regulator which is Antillphone Gaming Authority (complaints@gaminglicences.com or certria@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Dear Fapoker,
We hope you are doing well. We wanted you to provide an update regarding this case, which was previously marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website. Your complaint has now been automatically reopened, and we are eager to know if there have been any recent developments or resolutions since our last communication.
If the Licensing Authority has resolved your case and ruled in your favor, we kindly request you to update your complaint within the thread. Alternatively, if the ruling favored the casino, your input is equally valuable. We understand that some time has passed, but updating your complaint will allow us to take appropriate action, such as issuing black points to the casino in case the ruling is in your favor or warning other players and users about instances where the Authority supports the operator.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to reply.
