UNRESOLVED

Case summary

2 years ago

The player's account got blocked due to additional verification checks. The casino contacted us and stated that they were unable to discuss any details regarding the player and their account with a third party. Without the casino's cooperation, we were unable to continue our investigation and so the complaint was closed as 'unresolved'.

Good morning.

Bet365 Italian gaming account, registered in December 2018, regularized documents.

On the account, before the suspension, there are 1315.38 euros, I emphasize: 100% withdrawable and real (no bonus or balance deposited and still to be played). The balance is real.


I have always used Paypal for both reloading and withdrawing.

The first years I used it mainly for sports betting, while in the last few months I was playing at the casino, especially roulette and live baccarat (Playtech platform), and when I received free spins for free, I played them in the "Jurassic Island" slot.

In live roulette (Playtech) my "way" to play consisted in this: I watched when at least 5 identical colors appeared in a row, I entered and started betting on the opposite color 3 euros .. if it came out well, otherwise I doubled: 3/6 / 12/24/48/100/200/400, until it came out or I lost. Basically the game of doubling down.


From 17 August 2022 I can no longer log in (login data not recognized) (see attached screen "Login problem.png"), if I click on "problems in logging in?" the code "LL01" appears, inviting me to contact assistance.


-17 August 2022 -> contact the chat: they tell me that I have to send by email photos of the driving license, paypal screen with visible address and name and surname, and "explanations on casino activity". Sending everything in less than half an hour (see attachment "Email history - Email history")

Important : in the Paypal screen I send, at the bottom right there is (partially covered by asterisks) MY TELEPHONE NUMBER (ending in 4592) (see attachment "Screen Paypal.pdf", bottom right, you will notice "Phone numbers").

I contact the chat again to find out if the email was received correctly, they confirm it.


-18 August 2022 -> Not receiving a reply, I send a second email in the morning as I am worried and I do not know what happened to my account and no one has given me a reason (See attachment "Mail 02").

In the evening I receive an email asking me to confirm date of birth, account registration email address and telephone number. (attachment "Mail 03") and I reply immediately (attachment "Mail 04")


August 20, 2022 -> They reply by email (attachment "Mail 05") stating that for security reasons they cannot continue to discuss information regarding my account via email and ask me to contact the chat -> contact the chat immediately -> they tell me they have to call me, we agree for the following Monday (22 August 2022) and I confirm to be available in any time slot they want, I also confirm my phone number.


-25 August 2022 -> I do not receive any phone calls, but I do receive an email in which this time I am asked to send photos and a statement of the card connected to the paypal account which ends in * 4592. But I do NOT have any connected card that ends for that amount .. I try to search at home (I always keep the old expired cards as well), then I check the Paypal screen that I sent on August 17th and at the bottom right I see a * 4592. . but it is MY PHONE NUMBER , (it can also be seen from the "+39", international prefix, which precedes the central asterisks. (See "Screen Paypal", second screen, where I highlight it)


I think that the operator has in good faith confused and sent a clarifying email (attachment "Mail 07"), in this email I include, in order to help the operator and speed up the procedure, further documentation, to prove that he is the real user of the 'account:


  • I attach the front / back photos of my 4 cards with the last 4 digits visible (for Illimity and Buddybank I have also attached the latest account statements in pdf with my visible address, the photos are next to my driving license and tax code.
  • I attach a paypal screen in which these 4 cards are visible with the last 4 digits visible there too (for further details see the attachment "screen paypal", third screen)
  • I enclose a telephone bill in my name with a visible residential address
  • I enclose a Certificate of Residence which certifies my residence and my address


Subsequently I also contact the chat for my further concern, but the operator does not seem to understand that there has been a misunderstanding and reminds me to send photos of the card * 4592, which I repeat: they are the last 4 digits of my telephone number and not the number of a card.


As of today, August 26, 2022 the problem persists, I cannot access my account.


In the last email I provided all the evidence that I am the real user of my account and explained that the digits * 4592 are equivalent to my phone number, I ask that the assistance understand the misunderstanding and

I ask to be able to re-enter my account, or alternatively to be able to still receive the withdrawal of my balance which is equivalent to 1315.38 euros, which I remember is real and withdrawable balance.

Hello MassEffect,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Bet365 Casino IT. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise when was the last time the casino responded to you and what was it about? How could they even mix up the card number and the phone number if you have been registered since 2018 - did you change any date in your personal information page?

Please also note that the casino may request for re-verification and it usually takes up to 14 days to process it in full so I can only recommend to be patience and forward them all the documents they requested. In case of misunderstanding it is the best to contact them by every possible way in order to solve it as soon as possible.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick and thank you first of all for taking care of my complaint.


He answers the questions, hoping to be able to clarify as much as possible (for any other questions I am always available).


  • The last email arrived just a few hours after writing this post, exactly Saturday 27 August, in response to the last email I sent, the "mail 07" which I included in the attachment "Email history.pdf", the text is:

"Dear *****,

Regarding your request, we inform you that there are no anomalies on the account.

We have forwarded the documentation you have sent to the relevant department and we will inform you as soon as possible. "


Although I do not understand why they wrote me that there are no anomalies on the account when they told me shortly before that I will not be able to access the account until I send the photos of the 4592 card and still (Monday 29 August) I cannot access.


  • They started asking me for the photo of the card * 4592 after I sent the paypal screen in the first email (this one that I am attaching here too), then in response to the first email

-> file

Also because in the past I have always reloaded and withdrawn via paypal wallet on Bet365 without going through an underlying card, I do not know where they could otherwise have seen this "* 4592" and the only number that comes to mind is precisely this which in fact coincides with my phone number.


  • There is a small chance that around February / January of this year I changed my phone number in the website form: I had bought a second sim card with a specific number for websites etc ... because in the primary I received a lot of spam and sms .. but I DON'T remember if I had changed it also on Bet365 .. I think not, but I can't access my account to check .. I still made myself available on the phone in both numbers if they wanted to make sure of me, as written also in chat and via email. Apart MAYBE the phone number, I have not changed absolutely anything and the paypal account has always been the same since the day of registration.


  • I tried to contact the chat again but they insist that I have to send the photo of the card * 4592 by mail, which unfortunately I have not


  • They were supposed to call me on August 22 but I never received a call from them


Thanks Nick for listening to me, I hope we can solve everything, because I do not know what else to send to make it clear that I am the user of the account .. for any other clarification I am available!

Greetings

Thanks Adam for giving me the opportunity to interact with Bet365.

I hope they respond.

As of today, 01/09/2022 I still can't access my account, and it keeps giving me "code LL01".

I haven't received any further news or communications from the casino, but having 1315 euros stuck in silence is frustrating.

Dear MassEffect,


The casino has responded via e-mail and stated that they are unable to share any information with a third party and that they will only communicate with you directly.


Without the cooperation of the casino, I am afraid there is nothing more that we can achieve and the complaint will be closed as 'unresolved'. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email.


In the meantime, I recommend that you contact eCOGRA alternative dispute resolution service and submit a complaint to them (https://ecogra.org/forms/adr-dispute-step-1). It may have better options and tools to help players. Please let me know how they responded (adam.m@casino.guru).

I am sorry I could not be of more help.


Best regards,

Adam
