Case summary

1 month ago

The player from Australia accidentally deposited $5,700 in Litecoin into the wrong casino account and was unable to withdraw the funds. Despite contacting Dolly Casino, they required him to wager the entire amount before allowing a withdrawal, which he could not afford to do as it was his family's life savings. The Complaints Team had communicated with both the player and the casino, but the casino stated that since the funds had been played and lost, no refund could be issued according to their terms and conditions. The player was advised to consider responsible gambling measures, including self-exclusion tools, due to the circumstances surrounding his gambling activities.

I went to deposit 50 dollars in litecoin to my casino account. And hour later I realised nearly $6000 dollars in litecoin was missing from my account.

After checking i realised I had transferred $5700 into a casino that i never play account. And didn't even realise i had done it.

I imediately got onto that casino account and seen it had been deposited. So i immediately went to withdraw it and wasnt allowed. I then contacted dolly casino live chat to tell them that I had accidently deposited a huge amount of money and needed it back immediately and they tell me I have to play through the $5700 to be able to withdraw it.


That was my families life savings it was our Christmas money and I can't even get it back. They expect me to gamble every cent my fzmily has to only most likely loose it.


How can I get this money back. They won't reply to me and. Surly it should be red flagged when a deposit of $5700 in 1 hit gets made.


I can't playthrough that money i just need it back

Dear Cruiser1199,

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

  • Could you please send me a screenshot of your transaction history showing the deposit you mistakenly sent to Dolly Casino? Kindly include a screenshot of your deposit receipt as well.
  • Have you played with your deposit at all?

I have checked the Terms and Conditions, and this is what I found regarding refunds of the deposits:

6.6.2 No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.

6.6.3 To be considered for a refund, you must contact our customer support within 24 (twenty- four) hours of the transaction in question. We will endeavor to respond to your request within 10 (ten) business days. For the avoidance of doubt, all refunds are always at our sole and absolute discretion.

6.8 Minimum funds rollover before a withdrawal is x1 (one). If the wager of the funds (the amount of placed bets) is less than the deposit amount, we reserve the right to cancel all winnings and keep the commission of 10% (ten percent) (but not less than USD 0.50 (fifty cents) of the amount of the last deposit as payment expenses, and the 15% (fifteen percent) commission if your account balance has been charged with a bank card or bank transfer. Exclusion for Japan is that Live casino games minimum funds rollover before a withdrawal is x5 (five).

  • Could you kindly specify when exactly you contacted customer support with the request to refund the deposit back to you?
  • Have you been offered the possibility of withdrawing your deposit with a 10% or 15% commission?

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

Why are u after 4 days just contacting me to tell me you've transferred it to someone else. Why has it been transferred to someone else. Why isn't there any progress. I really need that money back. I'm about to be evicted from my home. I had no christmas. My kids got nothing. And no one seems to care it's destroying my family and marrage

I don't understand. It was a 5700 dollar deposit. Surly that's a red flag.


I would have though responsible gambling would have came into this and a duty of care from dolly casino to clearly see that if someone deposits that amount the clearly have a gambling problem. Not to just take it knowing full well that play throughing that amount of money is never going to end well or in front.


What made me angry was the fact I told them it was a mistake and it was money for my family and christmas it was all we had.

As u can see in the transcript. They didn't even stop and think about how this has affected a family at Christmas.

They didn't even care when I told them my children would miss out on Christmas. And how it had torn our family apart. My wife wants a divorce, my children got nothing for Christmas and I'm on the verge now of loosing our home.


They showed nothing but pure greed.

With out any thought for the children that it affected.


It's bloody killing me.

Dear Cruiser1199,


We are very sorry for the difficulties you had to face. To make sure this does not happen again, we have decided to close your account. Furthermore, we would like to make you aware of the following resource, should you want to make us of it: https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/


We also have to draw your attention to the T&C clauses 6.6.2 and 6.6.3, as you have played the amount in full. As such, unfortunately, we are unable to perform any returns.


6.6.2 No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.


6.6.3 To be considered for a refund, you must contact our customer support within 24 (twenty- four) hours of the transaction in question. We will endeavor to respond to your request within 10 (ten) business days. For the avoidance of doubt, all refunds are always at our sole and absolute discretion.

Dear Dolly casino,

So your closings my account and you also present me with a responsible gambling link.


I imme

Yet you gave me no choice of any commission and instead told me I had no choice I had to play throughx1


i immediately contacted dolly casino as soon as I realised whst id done as per your clauses and you refused to come.e to an agreement and instead of being so caring about responsible gambling you gave me no options except that I had to play all that money.


You knew I accidently done that and I did all of those clauses.


I think we should come to an agreement close my account, and take 20%.


It's all in the transcripts I done everything that was asked.


Responsible gambling!!! you made me play small that money through knowing I didn't want too and had. A family


So I applied all those clauses and u made me play that money.


You keep 20% commission and give me back the rest of my money.

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.

Dear Cruiser1199,


We would like to bring this to your attention that the commission can only be applied if the amount is still on balance and if the deposit was made with the bank card or bank transfer (as per T&C 6.8.)


As your deposit was made via Crypto, there was no way to refund, only to wager.

As the amount was played and is no longer available on your balance, we, unfortunately have to deny your refund request (as per T&C 6.6.2)


6.8 :- Minimum funds rollover before a withdrawal is x1 (one).

If the wager of the funds (the amount of placed bets) is less than the deposit amount, we reserve the right to cancel all winnings and keep the commission of 10% (ten percent) (but not less than USD 0.50 (fifty cents) of the amount of the last deposit as payment expenses, and the 15% (fifteen percent) commission if your account balance has been charged with a bank card or bank transfer. 


Exclusion for Japan is that Live casino games minimum funds rollover before a withdrawal is x5 (five).


6.6.2 :- No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.


Therefore, according to the aforementioned article, there is no refund available for your account.


We hope this helps clarify the matter for you.

Our team wishes you all the best for your future activities!


Best regards,

Dolly Casino

Thank you for providing me with the evidence Dolly Casino representative.

Cruiser1199, I sincerely regret to learn about your unfortunate situation, unfortunately, as you have played and lost the funds there is nothing that can be done in this situation. If you have trouble with patience during gambling I can recommend our guide on How to Gamble Safely. I would also recommend utilizing our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool. This tool allows you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Kind regards,

Peter
