WestCasino - general discussion (page 4)

Hello!

I'm not sure what to make of this, but luckily, Data Team members are always willing to update me.

I'll ask and let you know regarding the MGA, if the review needs an update along the way, it will be done too.

Much appreciated 😁

I've deposited 14.8 K euro last year on this casino,the casino was accepting dutch players to register,later on the KSA authority fined this casino and mother company for illegally activity.

And yes,the casino immediately closed my account without refund!!!

Such a scam management!!!

You had an active balance there when they closed your account? Or you mean a refund of the lifetime deposits amount?

Funny thing is even when they are fined. Altho the netherlands revoked the fine because westcasino "blocked" dutch players. So they didnt get any fine in the end.

But if you look for example at trustpilot westcasino you still see that dutch players play at westcasino 😉.

So I guess sooner or later the Netherlands will step in again and give them even a higher fine.

Westcasino has indeed a bad managment.. never responds to complaints and ignore emails etc.

When they heard about operating illegally in Netherlands they quickly closed my account and didn't reply to my emails anymore, I've sent More than 50 emails to them ...I mean the total amount of deposits in 8-9 months.

They waited until I had 0 balance,maybe I had couple of hundreds on balance but where bonus.....so they just suspended my account!

I had a very high VIP Level!!

I've sent 50 emails from my official email address,and another 50 emails from 3 different email addresses and they didn't reply for 8-9 months even to 1 single email

Stay away from this scam casino!

Hello!

I've been updated: According to the Data Team, crypto payments "disappearance" is more likely tied to the local security situation in South America. Many frauds are committed using crypto these days.

I was told this is most likely the reason. No information indicates the MGA would regulate crypto payment usage.

I hope it helps! 🙂

It does help, it makes sense, thanks for helping out on the clarification Radka, always appreciated

Have you ever made a successful withdrawal in the casino?

I was not able,I wanted one time , I've fully verified my account I've sent dozens of documents for that and I was waiting like almost 2 weeks for verification.

I had a pending widrawal but was pending for 6-7 business days .Was not possible to widrawal because they had issues with Netherlands payment providers or something like that.

Until the end I've cancelled the widrawal...They keept pending because they knew that after long waiting I will cancel myself 🫢😄.

That was the last casino that I've played.

After I've completely stopped.

Be careful,they can close you're account at any time without any clear answers!

The casino is not controlled or revised by Netherlands.

They terms and conditions are not valid at all in Netherlands so they can trick players how they want!

But when you were playing and won, you managed to withdraw your winnings and play as normally as every other users from other jurisdictions? I played here for a similar timeframe from time to time and withdrawals took on average 5 working days (skrill), as long as you were given the chance to play and withdraw normally, I'm not sure how eligible you are for refunds, I'm not truly aware of your local regulations, because being given a refund on all deposits the user made even when said user was able to withdraw normally sounds a bit off to me, it would be betting with no risk at all 🥴 in the case the account was closed with a balance on it then a refund makes sense, not only a refund of the deposit but a payout of the entire active balance the account has, but like I said, I'm not aware of the guidelines enforced by your regulator

They used Netherlands juristriction without a special licence.

So practically they accepted Dutch players illegally!

Maybe yes, but it doesn't make them scammers.

There are casinos that treat all players fairly and they don't care about their nationality. Of course, that can cause them some legal issues with the local jurisdictions. But being illegal on a market or being a scam casino are two very different things. You can accept players from the certain jurisdiction legally, but you can still be the scammer casino.

Accepting dutch players if you don't have a special licence from Netherlands gambling authority (KSA) is illegally.

Belgium juristriction is the same,in France is very strict,in Germany the same.

You didn't get me at all .

I better don't lose my time here .

You seems to know everything better.

Good luck with you're forum

Yes dont waste your time. Westcasino is a affiliate. I understand you haha

Wait so you never got any withdrawal from the casino? Or this what you are describing here is about one specific withdrawal????

I never said that they accept the players legally. If they don't have the Dutch license and they accept Dutch players, then then accept them illegally from the perspective of the Dutch law. But once again, it doesn't make them a scammer casino. There are casinos that accept players illegally, because they don't have the local license, but they still treat the players fairly and whenever they win fair and square, they'll get paid.

That's why I'm trying to explain the difference between illegal and scam casinos.

Gambling is dangerous,we are here because we used to gamble or some of us we still gamble...is sad that the human mind can be so easy fooled earnings.

The authoritys doesn't work hard to protect people who give a try on gambling...and they can easily get addicted....

From my personal point of view WESTCASINO doesn't care about you if you loose ,they simple Bomb on with promotions , keeping you on with gambling until the last penny 😄🫢.

I agree not a scam but scum. Illegal scum in our country.

They are fined but keep targeting the dutch market.

But if you confront them and want to talk to them they just ignore you 😉. They are still very active on the dutch market.

But Hooray they do respons to casinoguru. Unfortanly casinoguru does nothing with local laws.

Let's pay a lawyer all players from Netherlands who had issues with WESTCASINO and go to court against this illegally casino!
