Case summary

2 weeks ago

The player from the United Kingdom had deposited £400 at Bally casino, made a withdrawal of £6900, and then had her account suspended due to a claim that it was linked to a Gamstop account, which she denied. After she provided ID documents and confirmation from Gamstop that she was not registered, her winnings were voided without a clear explanation, and she only received a refund of her deposits. She asserted that she was owed £6500 and sought resolution. The Complaints Team had closed the complaint as unresolved, pending further updates from the player regarding her case with the licensing authorities, following the casino's issuance of a deadlock letter.

On the 26th of September I opened an account with Bally and deposited a total of £400. I made a withdrawal shortly after of £6900. To my surprise I was advised that my account had been suspended due to being linked to an account which had Gamstop on it. I advised the casino this was not possible as I have never registered with Gamstop. I was then asked to provide ID documents which I did, and I also contacted Gamstop who confirmed my details have never been registered with Gamstop. After informing the casino of this and forwarding the emails from Gamstop I was told my account was under review. I also received an email saying my documents did not pass their checks even though an agent confirmed they had. One agent later informed me my winnings had been voided and deposits returned, then told me that this was a mistake and the account was still under review. To my surprise my deposits were actually refunded to my bank and there are no winnings in sight. Bally casino has wrongfully voided my winnings and is not providing an explanation as to why. I am owed £6500 by them and would like this resolved asap

Hello O3nur94,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Bally Casino UK. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.


  • Did your casino verification begin?
  • Were you ever self-excluded in any other online casino?
  • Did the casino give you any time frame for the checks?


Please keep in mind that your account is just 2 days old and it definitely takes longer to do such checks - up to 14 days.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,


I provided verification documents and was initially told these were fine. Then told they did not pass the checks.


I have never been self excluded from any casino, I have active accounts on other platforms that has never had any issues.


The casino is saying ‘there is no time frame for resolution’ even though I have provided clear evidence from Gamstop that I have never been registered with them

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.

Dear O3nur94,


I have been informed by the casino representative that there is an open complaint being dealt with internally, in the casino. Could you give me an update about this, so I know if the issue needs to be pursued further here?

Hi Michal, Bally has finally sent me a deadlock letter, I have now raised this with Ecogra as I believe they are the only ones who will be able to assist. The deadlock letter they provided me proves that the person they claim is on Gamstop is not myself as the name is different but they are refusing to acknowledge that we are different individuals. So I have passed this along with my ID documents to the ADR. I appreciate your assistance in trying to resolve the matter
