Casitsu Casino - Player's account was closed, and withdrawal was blocked.

Deposited to Casitsu via promo email (not first deposit), had like 450€ left on my account when I decided to withdraw. All I got was a withdrawal error (see pic 1) "Withdrawal error. Please check the data or contact support". No error when depositing. At that point I realised that basically my player acc was set up in a way where I could make deposits but the withdrawal option is blocked.

First I noticed that on profile page some fields have been deselected or empty (info you submit when registering, name, address etc, see pic 2) that were not left empty by me! Since I cannot edit, select or deselect anything on profile page myself I contacted support about the issue and to input address I was told to send an utility bill. Since I work in one and live in other country I sent them proof of address from the country I was working atm and logged in from . They told it was rent invoice not utility bill, rejected it and told I actually had to send not 1 but 2 proof of addresses to change profile info. Later sent them water and electricity bill aswell with all other docs for verification (see pic 3). Waited for few days, contacted support about review timeframe, they told me to wait more. 

At one point got an email that my account is closed for using VPN and it is forbidden for users to disclose their location. So basically what happened was that after I wanted to correct the address field I was accused of concealing my location. See the logic in that? Me neither. I was not using a VPN or won from a free bonus either but deposited.. 

VPN policy I think is later implemented and is actually ridiculous, since it is usually recommended by most crypto-friendly casinos. From what I've heard they (casitsu and DAMA) actually allow VPN use & withdraw and they only use it as an excuse if they need it. So I strongly recommend users to check their profile, T&C and if your browser may have a built in VPN. Seems that no letter ever was sent out about any VPN, they only changed the text on T&C page and might be luring people to deposit only to confiscate it later. Even if you are playing from legal territory your country may have been deselected on profile .

The docs I sent were never even reviewed (see pic 3) and they just closed my acc with balance of 450€ after accepting my deposits and said I failed to verify. Can't login aswell. When I asked about remaining balance and making a complaint - not a word, and nobody is answering emails anymore. Also sent them my LTC address to send my remaining funds to since LTC was last depositing method. Been waiting, but nothing has been sent yet. Can't recommend depositing to any DAMA NV casino atm.

Would be glad if Casitsu could share the evidence of me using VPN and for no reason not making the payment of remaining balance of 450€.

Dear syrrreal,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Casitsu Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

• Could you please advise how long have you been a player of the casino? Were the deposits on the screenshots your only ones?
• Could you please specify which countries you frequent, and what country was filled in during registration?
• Please forward me the correspondence you received from the casino with the accusations against you. My email is tomas@casino.guru

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello.

Registered on 27th May of 2022. These were the only deposits if transaction history is correct. Not sure since all Dama casinos look the same.

I think I registered with my Estonian address but work in Norway and at the time being I was in Norway and sent them my Norway address aswell. Seems Estonia is not allowed anymore but never recieved any info about changes, account was never closed, recieved promo emails daily and they did accept my deposits, and since Norway is not on restricted territory I am legally allowed to play.

Sure, can forward.

Thank you very much, syrrreal, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hi syrrreal,

I have reviewed your case and understand the situation. Allow me to reach out to the casino and make every effort to assist you. I would like to invite Casitsu Casino to join the conversation and contribute to the resolution of this complaint.

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.

Hi syrrreal,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might 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 you contact the Antillephone Gaming Authority (https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/curacao-license-3) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
