Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Peru reported that BetToGoal had falsely claimed that he requested account closure, and subsequently closed his account. This incident had occurred after a withdrawal of 2,000 dollars. The player insisted he had not requested account closure and suspected the casino was reluctant to pay customers who win. The casino accused the player of violating their terms and conditions by having multiple accounts, which the player denied. Despite our repeated requests, the casino had not provided any supporting evidence. Since we hadn’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we were forced to close the complaint as ‘unresolved’. We had reopened this complaint as per the casino's request. However, as the player's issue pertained solely to sports betting, an area in which we lacked expertise, we were unable to assist further and had to reject the complaint.

Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to read my complaint and I hope you can assist me. Five days ago, bettogoal sent me an email claiming that I had requested account closure, which is a false accusation. When I messaged their support team, I was informed that I had violated their terms and conditions and as a result, they decided to close my account without any specific explanation. Oddly enough, just minutes before my account was closed, I received a payment of a withdrawal of 2000 dollars and within five minutes, I received an email stating, "Your account has been closed: Hello Gino Mario. We would like to inform you that your account has been closed at your request. Please note that closing your account does not allow us to remove your personal data. We are legally obliged to retain your data for security reasons until the legal retention period expires. Once this period has passed, you can request the removal of this data." I never requested an account closure. Everything was fine when I was losing, but as soon as I made some gains, they stole my funds. It's clear that they don’t wish to pay their customers who win. They blatantly steal from individuals who trust their website.

Dear ginosuarez,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Have you ever requested your account to be closed or suggested a gambling problem when communicating with the casino? Could you please advise if you have self-excluded yourself from any other casino in the past?

If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

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

Hello, I have never requested any account closure or suggested any gambling problem and I have never excluded myself from any casino. Bettogoal casino closed my account on purpose and they accuse me of violating their terms and conditions without any support or specific explanation of anything. And of course, just because I won, but if I lost, they certainly didn't close my account or invent any excuse for not paying their clients. BETTOGOAL are scammers

Due to the absence of any response from the casino pertaining to the matter, we are left with no choice but to mark the complaint as 'unresolved'. We genuinely wish there were additional avenues for us to pursue. Regrettably, lacking the casino's collaboration, our ability to mediate and facilitate a resolution to this matter is limited. It is worth noting that the casino retains the option to revisit and address this complaint at any point.

Meanwhile, I recommend the player to submit an official complaint at certria@gaminglicences.com.

Thank you for your understanding.

We’ve reopened this complaint as per the casino's request.


Dear Ginosuarez,

We have received an email from the casino, which includes supporting evidence and an explanation for the closure of your account. Could you kindly verify whether you exclusively engaged in sports betting and if your most recent deposit has been refunded?

Yes, I mostly make sports bets rather than casino bets, which is more aggressive, they only gave me back 2k USD but I deposited more than that and they don't have to give me back just the deposit, they have to give me back the entire balance because even if I won I could lose and not I have violated any terms that have been posted above. I won my live bets on baseball games (MLB) and the credited balance is what they must pay to the player. One thing is their terms and, as they say, their possible reasonable suspicions at their discretion and another thing is the law that applies in my country. that every betting house that operates in Peruvian territory must pay the player for his bet as long as it has been executed fairly without fixed matches or any of those things, my bets are totally clean and as I repeat, the house must pay the player because the The law is what rules, not the abusive clauses they place on their website.

Thank you, ginosuarez, for your response. Unfortunately, since you have clarified that the issue solely pertains to sports betting, we regret to inform you that we are unable to assist you in this matter.

We sincerely apologize for our inability to resolve your case. However, please feel free to reach out to us if you encounter any issues with other casinos in the future. Since we currently do not have a department specifically dedicated to sports betting disputes, and lack sufficient expertise in handling such cases, we are regrettably unable to proceed with your complaint. I genuinely wish I could have been of more assistance.

Thank you for your understanding, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Meanwhile, I'm forced to reject your complaint at this time.
