Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

2 years ago

The player from Germany played with a bonus and requested a withdrawal. After a few days the player's account was blocked due to alleged gambling addiction. Later, the player was accused of delaying bonus features. We ended up rejecting the complaint because the casino eventually provided relevant evidence supporting its claims.

Good evening CasinoGuru team,


I opened an account at Casino DozenSpins in December and claimed the 100% first deposit bonus with a €150 deposit in January. After a few games with ups and downs, I finally stood at €437 and wanted to cash it out. However, since you can only withdraw in €400 increments from DozenSpins, I requested a withdrawal of €400 - this request was accepted. Since nothing happened for a few days, I wanted to log in and write to LiveSupport. However, I was not able to do this because the message "THE USER HAS BEEN BLOCKED BECAUSE OF GAMING ADDICTION!" was written when I logged in.

There was no response from email support either. My money is gone now. Is it in your power to help me with my problem?


Of course I would be very happy about that 🙂


Sincerely, Fechtner

Dear Shawnoo88,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Are you aware of ever requesting self-exclusion from this or any other sister casino? Or have you ever indicated to this casino that you might have any gambling issues?

If there is any relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru, or alternatively, post it here.

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,

Kristina

Hi Kristina, thank you for taking care of my problem with the provider 🙂 No, I would classify myself more as a beginner and actually play here and there just for fun, of course only with funds that don't hurt me in case of a loss . Nevertheless, it is very annoying when you are excluded from the casino without a plausible reason and the money is simply confiscated. That's why I turned to you. I gamble very responsibly and I'm not addicted to gambling, don't worry. No casino has ever self-excluded as I really only play every now and then.


Greetings F***

I have looked at your case and understand the situation. I will contact the casino and see if I can help. I would like to invite Dozenspins Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.

Dear Shawnoo88.


We have examined your complaint in detail.


2021-12-30 You made a deposit of 300EUR and received a 50% bonus + 50 free spins on the Weekend Reload promotion.

With a deposit of 300EUR you have made a sports bet on the match Valencia CF - Espanyol Barcelona. Your bet on this match is lost.

After making a bet on sports, you have activated the received bonus and started to make bets in the slots on bonus funds.


After losing all the bonus funds you deposited another 50EUR into your betting account. With the help of this deposit you continued to make bets in almost the same slots that you made on the bonus funds. Your winnings at the end of the games amounted to 436.22EUR in real money. After that, you have executed the withdrawal request in the amount of 400EUR.


During the check of your gaming session it was found that you have violated the rule of the bonus policy:

13. Delaying any game round in any game, including free spins features and bonus features, to a later time when you have no more wagering requirement and/or performing new deposit(s) while having free spins features or bonus features still available in a game is prohibited. In case of violation of this rule, the administration reserves the right to cancel all winnings.


Slot Golden Beauty (PragmaticPlay) has a game of accumulation, during the 9 spins player can accumulate special symbols on the reels, and on the 10 spin of these symbols are converted to symbols "WILD".

It was found that when playing with bonus funds in slot Golden Beauty(PragmaticPlay ) you did not complete all 10 spins, and by changing the bet amount, continued to accumulate "WILD" symbols at different bet amounts. After you have lost all your bonus money, you deposit 50EUR to your account and go to Golden Beauty(PragmaticPlay ) slot, and finished playing for real money 10/10 spins provided in the game to turn the special symbols into WILD symbols and get the winnings. 


On this basis, you have violated the rule of bonus policy paragraph 13. 

Strictly according to the rules your winnings have been canceled and your account is closed without the right to reopen.


After the account was closed on 2022-01-04 you were sent an email, with detailed information, stating that:

1) You have violated bonus policy rule paragraph 13.

2) Your winnings were canceled.

3) Your account has been closed.


Also according to our data, you contacted our technical support chat on the 20th of January and asked to clarify the reason why your account was closed. In the technical chat support, you were also given a detailed answer, as well as a duplicated email that was sent to you on 2022-01-04 by the Risk Management Department of the casino.


All actions were carried out with the account strictly in accordance with the regulations of the project. 


If you have any further questions, we are always happy to help you.

Therefore, we expect from the client in the complaint that he agrees that we will provide his data of the game session and personal data, if the client agrees, we will give you a list of necessary documents that the player will have to make and sign to allow you to view his personal information.

Dear Peter,

In this case, the client must provide some documents to you, and after he provide them, you can provide them to us:

2. Photo with passport in client's hands (document must be in unfolded form). 

3. A power of attorney for you from the client that he allows you to process his personal data. (previously your colleagues provided such a document and it suits us. The main thing in this power of attorney are the client's initials and passport number)

Dear DozenSpins Casino, I enjoy doing both sports betting and casino games. And if I lose a bet or lose my money in the casino and want to continue playing, of course I have to deposit money again, otherwise it doesn't go well. And in the casino, everyone has their favorite slots that they like to play. So it's perfectly clear that, as you well noticed, I almost always make the same games that I'm somewhat familiar with. Why should I play games I don't know how to play and just don't enjoy? That does not make sense. Likewise, it makes no sense that I DELIBERATELY cheat, how is that supposed to work please?

I bet, lost, played casino, lost, re-deposited, won a little. What's the scam about that? I do not get it. Sorry.


Sincerely

Yes, you sent the PoA document without a signature and without other required pictures. And I replied that you should take a good look at the requirements of the casino and send all files exactly as requested. If you don't want to send them to me, send them directly to the casino, it may even be quicker.

We don't argue against the applied term, we just need to see the whole game history of the player. I sent you another email.

Dear Peter,

We have sent you an answer to your inquiry.


And also write here that we have provided more than enough information and screenshots (not the entire history of the game client), but they clearly show that the client violated the rules of the project and played unfairly. 


We cannot provide the entire history of the client's game. 

But the client can apply to the licensing authority, and at the request of the licensing authority we will provide them with all client data, deposit history, game history, documents and all the necessary data that will be required to resolve the client's complaint. 


We are always for fair play, but the client has violated the rules of the project several times and it was done intentionally.

Dear DozenSpins Casino team,

Thank you for your reply. I will just state here what was sent to you by email. Delaying rounds and bonus features can indeed grant an unfair advantage for the players and if the player did it, we fully agree that he has no claim for the winnings. However, even though the screenshots provided do suggest that he played a couple of rounds with the same bet, we can't really tell if the bonus abuse took place. Since you repeatedly refused to provide the full game history of the player with the reasoning that it's "confidential information", I'm afraid the complaint will be closed as "unresolved". There has never been a problem with providing game history in other casinos, especially with a Curacao license because it's practically just dates, numbers, and the name of the game. All personal information can be easily blurred out. This just makes an impression that you hide something.


Dear Shawnoo88,

I'm afraid I can't help you with this one unless we have the game history of your account. The casino suggested that you should contact the Curacao Gaming Authority to get it. If you are convinced that you didn't break any rules (delayed rounds/bonus feature), I recommend contacting the gaming authority and asking them for further assistance (certria@gaminglicences.com). Let me know how you decided (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help.

Best regards,

Peter

We’ve reopened this complaint as per the casino's request. We would like to give this case one more chance to get resolved.

Dear Shawnoo88,

The casino is willing to provide the missing evidence (without personal data of course) if you give them your consent. Do you agree?

Dear Shawnoo88,

We received the additional evidence from the casino and analyzed it in detail. I'm afraid you won't be very happy with the results. As we looked at the game history, the pattern of delaying the bonus feature and activating it later with real money was used repeatedly and therefore you actually did gain an unfair advantage. Unfortunately, this is a breach of the casino's T&Cs and the casino applied the rule correctly. Your complaint will be rejected. I wish I could be of more help.

Best regards,

Peter
