BetMGM Casino UK - Player upset about misleading game cost.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: £70

BetMGM Casino UK
Safety Index:Very high

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom felt misled by the casino. He had believed he was playing at 25p a spin, but 34p was deducted due to an opt-in he was unaware of. The player insisted he had not knowingly opted in to this feature. He contacted the casino, but they claimed nothing could be done as he had opted in. We reviewed the game and promotional terms and found that the opt-in feature had been indicated. We concluded that the player was responsible for their account and bets. Therefore, we could not find a valid reason for a refund and rejected the complaint.

I’ve deposited 70 over the last 2 weeks thinking I’ve been playing 25p a spin but you have been taking 34p because I opted into something at bottom of the game , I never realised I had done this it’s a rip off , regards shaun

I will be waiting for your reply patiently.

There is not another site I’ve ever played that if you playing for a chance to win the jackpot they take extra money off you it’s just part of the game and to hide it is deceiving?

I tried the demo version of the game https://casino.guru/great-rhino-megaways-slot-play-free

With a default bet of 20, turning this feature on the bet raised to 25: (with the feature off)file with the feature on:file

Initiating a spin set to 25, and this option turned on file , my balance decreased only by 25: file

Could you please share your gaming history? From these static screenshots, it's unclear how much was deducted after each game round.

Any communication with the casino will be helpful in this situation. Kindly submit it as well to my email at [email protected]

I'll await your reply.

At the very bottom of screen there is a opt in button which I hadn’t pressed to my knowledge, if you press this it will take 9 extra pence wirhout showing it on the stake , I would never opt into something like that ,

Also your trying the demo , I bet if you deposit it will be totally different, I opted into receiving some free spins on first deposit and maybe this is where they catch you out because I didn’t use the opt in at bottom of screen

I apologize for the late reply.

Did you play other slots, or have played this slot game with the feature disabled?

Have you observed the same issues in these different circumstances?

Dear Sodlin71,

After reading through the the promotional terms on the website I found this:

https://www.betmgm.co.uk/promotions/casino/mgm-millions

file

and

file

Since you needed to opt-in to the promotion and the win can be won at any time after a game round is complete, we won't be able to argue for a refund. I would recommend you contact casino support and ask to opt out of the promotion.

Please let me know if there are any other circumstances I haven't considered, otherwise I'll close the complaint.

Do you not the know that is a con , when you press a play button the amount shown is the amount you pay ? Not taking extra off you ?

and as I stated at the very beginning I didn’t realise I had opted in , they do it very sneaky , I DID NOT OPT IN KNOWINGLY regards Shaun

Also I never intend to deposit with MGM casino again

do you think it is correct to be playing 25p a spin but they are taking 34 p ???

When you havnt opted in knowingly this is corrupt

Have you actually tried yourself ???

According to the screenshot you submitted earlier, the opt-in button is available for you to check file

Unfortunately, if the information regarding the promotion was readily available to you, we don't see a valid reason for a refund.

The player is ultimately responsible for their account, active balance, and all bets taking place.

If you disagree with our conclusion you have the option to file a complaint according to the dispute section of the casino's terms and conditions outlined here:

https://www.betmgm.co.uk/terms point 20. COMPLAINTS AND DISPUTES

Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into issues with any online casino in the future.
