UNRESOLVED

Case summary

1 month ago

The player from Brazil faced issues with her verified account after a promotional withdrawal remained pending. After contacting support, she learned that her account was under investigation without any provided reason or timeframe, and she could not access her account or support chat. The Complaints Team reached out to the casino for clarification regarding the investigation but did not receive a satisfactory response. Ultimately, the complaint was closed as 'unresolved' due to the casino's final decision to terminate her account, despite her previous deposits and gameplay history.

I have had an account at this casino since MARCH 2024. My account has been verified for months.

Yesterday, I participated in a promotion and received a good return after rolling the bonus. I requested a withdrawal, which remained pending for quite a while. I spoke with an attendant who said everything was OK and that I just needed to wait.

This morning, my account was logged out from both my computer and my phone. When I contacted the Chat support, I was informed that my account was under investigation and to wait. I was not given any timeframe or reason. I also lost access to the support chat, and I believe my IP has been banned.


I am writing to say that I am available to provide any additional information needed and would like to know the timeframe for both resolving the issue with my account and completing the withdrawal.

Dear robertafreitas90,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify the situation.

Could you please send me a screenshot or the link to the bonus you activated and played with? Was it a deposit bonus or a free no-deposit bonus?

What games did you play while your bonus was active?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Here's the email I received with the promotion. It was a deposit bonus. Now I can't remember if it was R$100 or R$110, I believe it was R$100.


As for the games, I played several... from Pragmatic, Bgaming, Playson.

The casino blocked games where you couldn't use the bonus.

I made another effort to reach out to support to get an update, but all I received was a generic response, and now the live support chat is about to close.

But did they give a deadline? Because it's been going on for a long time and I'm totally in the dark.

"Dear Roberta,


Regarding the investigation into the suspension of your Citobet account, after detailed verification by our security and risk department, below is the resolution,

following our Terms and Conditions, https://citobet.com/page/general-promotions-terms / https://citobet.com/page/terms-and-conditions


4.10. Repeatedly using promotions to play, with minimal or no deposits, and/or depositing only to take advantage of our rewards and offers,

without the intention of playing/risking the deposited funds.


7.6 Citobet will review all player accounts and classify them at its discretion. As soon as a player is classified as a "bonus hunter" or "bonus abuser",

all winnings and bonuses will be voided and the account will be suspended and the payment not processed


7.7 In the event of any breach of these Terms and Conditions, Citobet reserves the right to take the following actions:

7.7.1 Confiscation and Suspension of Account Balance: Citobet may withhold your account balance and suspend it at its discretion if you violate any of our terms.



The account will then be closed permanently."



So I am offered a promotion with a bonus; I deposit the value (which was not low, more than R$ 100); I playthrough all the wagering requirements; and then I get my account canceled for that?

It was not my first deposit. My account had several months and was verified. I have deposited before and I have lost money before. This is unfair.


I have answered their email questioning that, and requesting at least my deposit return.

Hi, got a response today.


"Hello Roberta,

We have resent your response to the department, but we were informed that the decision to terminate is final.

Best regards,"


Unfortunately they just don't care. Shame.

Dear robertafreitas90, as the casino has not responded to me either and they responded to you stating that the decision in final I am forced to close this complaint as 'unresolved'. 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. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
