Case summary

6 months ago

The player from the United Kingdom had deposited money using her boyfriend's Betfred account and had submitted multiple documents for account verification. However, the casino had closed her boyfriend's account and she was unable to reclaim her deposit or winnings. The Complaints Team had identified that she violated key rules of the casino by using someone else's account and personal information, which was against the casino's Terms and Conditions. Therefore, the casino was within its rights to confiscate both the deposit and any winnings, and to close the account. The player had failed to respond to the Complaints Team's messages, leading to the rejection of the complaint.

I used my boyfriend’s Betfred account to place deposits which it let me do. My boyfriend then had an email saying they need proof of his identity. I sent his provisional driving licence. They then came back and said they couldn’t accept it. So I sent his birth certificate and his bank statement instead which they requested. They then requested the 3rd party card which was used on the account. So I sent this. They have now closed his account so I cannot claim my deposit back or anything that ive won. Never have I ever come across a betting site where you cannot use someone else’s card.

Dear Ljade1405,

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

Unfortunately, I have to share some troubling news with you. Based on the details you provided, you've violated some crucial rules that are essential when playing at an online casino.

Firstly, it's imperative never to access someone else's account. Each player should only use their own account when engaging with a casino platform.

Secondly, you should never input another person's personal information into their casino account. Personal details should be sent by the individual who owns the account.

Lastly, when making deposits, it's crucial to use a payment card that belongs to the same person who owns the casino account. This ensures transparency and security in financial transactions.


As you may read in Betfred Casino's Terms and Conditions:

6.Placing bets with us and playing our games

  1. Your account. You are responsible for the use of your account and agree that you are acting solely for your own personal use.
  2. Your funds. The funds you place in your account must be your own and not those of any other person or from a business (other than a third party payment provider that we accept). We will not allow you to place a bet or play a game unless you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the bet or stake.


10.Suspension and closure of your account

2.When can we suspend or restrict your account? We can suspend or restrict your account in the following circumstances:

d.where your account is, or we reasonably consider it may be, being used by someone else.


I'm sorry to say that the casino was within its rights to confiscate both your deposit and any winnings and to close your boyfriend's account. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with, otherwise this complaint will be rejected.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards

Veronika
