UNRESOLVED

Case summary

9 months ago

The player from South Africa had not received their withdrawal after over three months and had not been getting responses from the casino even after continuously sending emails. The player initially faced issues with an incorrect SWIFT code, which was later rectified. However, the player received only a part of his winnings, with the casino citing their T&Cs that imposed a limit on withdrawals for deposits below a certain amount. We disagreed with the casino's rule as it seemed unfair and predatory when applied to real money play. Despite our attempts to mediate, the casino maintained its stance, and the player's issue remained unresolved. The casino's rating might have been negatively affected due to this unresolved complaint.

Dear luvinbholah,

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

  • Do I understand correctly that the withdrawal is still pending inside your account without being processed?
  • Have you been advised why you can’t withdraw your winnings?
  • Is it an internal casino system issue, or it’s related to your account only?
  • Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus?

It’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed, but three months is an unusually long time.

However, 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

Hi Everyone,


Within the next 24 hours, the customer should expect a receipt of the payment to arrive at their email address. Since the payment did not bounce back to us, this should serve to help release the funds into the account.


Thank you and have a great day,

Hi sorry for delayed. I was admitted to hospital was nt well .

After so much arguing with Jennifer she explain they paid it only R1000 all together when this is Vegas casino paid me so all I receive was R3651.06 only when I provided my proof of payments from this is Vegas casino .Vegas casino paid 3000rand still short of money like Jennifer said 1000 rand coz of the wagering. Before that she could not provide proper documents until I show payments of what I receive .something very fishy here.when I withdraw it accepted R3000 why only when payment time she said am allowed R1000 only which is very unfair like other casino when withdrawal will say u only can withdraw certain amount instead of this amount due to T&cs nothing was given when withdrawal.

Dear Avantgarde Casino,


Could you please clarify for us the issue of why the player had gotten less money than he requested in his withdrawal?

Hello,


According to our T&Cs, any deposit below 2500 ZAR carries a 10x limit, and therefore, since the customer deposited 100 ZAR, 1000 ZAR was sent.


We have already sent a full detailed explanation via the support box to the customer.


Thank you for your understanding,


Avantgarde

Dear Avantgarde Casino,


As per our Fair Gambling Codex (https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#hidden-predatory-rules), we find rules such as the one mentioned to be unfair and predatory.


We accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from a bonus play, but it doesn't make sense to limit the amount that players can withdraw if they aren't playing with a bonus.


As such, we feel that the player should be entitled to their winnings in full in this case.


Let me also point out that unfair rules just as this one will affect the casino's safety index negatively.


I hope we can solve this situation to benefit all parties involved. I will be waiting to hear from you.


Kind regards,


Michal

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hello Michal,


We think it is highly important to note that our large community of customers is not only aware of our T&Cs and general rules as we have nothing to hide (both on account creation sign up and our 24/7 live chat), but they play with us due to these rules.


The majority of our customers do like to play with a max cashout as if there was not, it would make them continue playing and possibly lose what they originally won. We all can call and consider that unfair and predatory as well.


We give our customers both options, in what we consider responsible gambling.


Thank you for your understanding,


Avantgarde

Dear Avantgarde Casino,


Limiting the amount of winnings players can withdraw while playing with their own money essentially means limiting their freedom of play.


This system just makes players deposit more with the hopes of winning higher amounts than they would in a casino without such a win limit.


This rule would make sense if it was applied to bonus money, but with real money, we consider it as unfair and hurtful to the players. The players should be allowed to win and subsequently withdraw all of the money they have won. Of course, limits such as daily/monthly withdrawal amount could be applied, but those limits do not lower the player's account balance or take any money from players.


In conclusion, limiting the amount of winnings based on the amount of deposit just takes money from players that they rightfully won.


Our position on this matter is that the player should be reimbursed fully.


Please let us know in this thread how you want to proceed in this matter.

Thank you, Michal.


Honestly, we do not have much to add. As we stated, we provide both options for our customers, and many of our customers decide to play with us thanks to this very specific system that is taking place, and find it responsible to play with a max cashout determined from the start.


We are as transparent as we can be, both in our T&Cs and our live chat.


The fact that the customer wishes to continue depositing with us while we would rather that he enjoys other places instead speaks volumes about the true nature of this case.


We thank you once again,


Avantgarde Support

Dear luvinbholah,


As mentioned previously, we find rules such as this to be unfair and predatory when applied to real money play, as per our fair gambling codex (https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#hidden-predatory-rules).


It seems that the casino does not wish to reconsider its position in this case, and so it will now be closed as 'unresolved'. As the casino doesn't appear to have a license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, I’m afraid there is nothing more that can be achieved.

I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints may help to change the casino's approach. 


I am sorry I could not have been of more help.


Kind regards,

Michal V, Casino.Guru
