Hi I won in the casino after checking my documents, but they claimed I had uploaded wrong or forged documents which is complete nonsense .. I deposited with muchbetter and wait until today instead they just want to give me my deposit back but I don't know how come!! Because of the location where I come from, it means I come from Germany and even in the terms and conditions to which I was referred, you can find nothing more than this here under the search for Saxony-Anhalt or Germany
3.18. Players residing in Germany may be taxable on stake credits under applicable law in that jurisdiction. This tax is deducted from the player's balance with each bet. For these payments, the nearest whole number is taken into account in the tax calculation.

Hello Sebbomd,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Frank Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would try to contact the casino to clarify it as much as possible.
Did you use any no deposit or deposit bonuses in the casino? Is this your first ever withdrawal request in the casino? If you have any proof or communication between you and the casino, as well as the documents which they found irrelevant, please send it to nikolas.b@casino.guru.
Looking forward to your answer and I hope we will be able to help you out in your case.
Regards,
Nick

Dear Sebbomd,
Unfortunately, you have given the wrong personal details during registration. This is forbidden by rule 3.3 of our Terms and Conditions.
Also, we have a notification for all customers that the "Registration is not allowed for residents of Saxony-Anhalt":
Regrettably, we had to close your account due to this reason, because we guarantee that local law is of paramount importance to us and we take this responsibility very seriously.
We’re sorry that we can’t provide you our service. We will give your deposit back.
Frankly yours,

How do I register? I have had the account for what felt like a long time and it was not pointed out that Saxony-Anhalt was excluded ...
I am much more interested in the reason why Saxony-Anhalt is excluded
After all, it is a federal state of Germany which, like all others, is subject to the new law ... Why do you explicitly exclude players from this state?

And about the mail you sent me
Quote: Your account has been blocked due to a violation of our terms and conditions. (Point 3.3 "You must fill in all the mandatory information requested in the registration form. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide to us is true, complete and correct. You are hereby notified that we are conducting verification procedures and that your account can be blocked or closed if we suspect that you have provided us with false or misleading information. You must notify Avento MT Limited of any updates and the mandatory information provided on the registration form in the event that change this information, keep it up to date ").
Thank you for your understanding
Especially in order not to violate this point and to fulfill everything according to your terms and conditions, I even asked the support to update my cell phone number ... This was also arranged without any notice that I was not allowed to play with you ...
So why wasn't it pointed out to me that players coming from Saxony-Anhalt are not allowed to play ???
Why did I not find a point in your terms and conditions that mentions this ???
As of 09/28/2021
If necessary, I have a video as proof in which I search for Germany and Saxony-Anhalt in their terms and conditions and nothing can be found about it!
If you want, please give us an email where I can send it to!

Hi all,
Thank you for your replies.
Dear Sebbomd, I have a few questions for you:
- When exactly did you register your account with Frank Casino?
- Which state did you choose for registration?
- If you chose Saxony-Anhalt, did you get the "Registration is not allowed for residents of Saxony-Anhalt" warning?

I registered in 2020 on May 30th, 2020
And if I chose a federal state then it was my Saxony-Anhalt, but I don't even know if there was a question about a federal state when registering, it was just too long ago 🙁

Thank you Sebbomd for your reply.
Dear Frank Casino,
The player registered his account on May 30th, 2020. Was it possible to choose a single state from the drop-down menu back then and was Saxony-Anhalt already restricted? If not, the player didn't do anything wrong. If the rules changed recently, the player should have been informed properly, get paid the winnings he accrued and the account should get closed. Secondly, if the account was active since May 2020, how is it even possible that his account wasn't blocked way sooner?

Dear Sebbomd and Casino Guru,
On behalf of our company, we apologize for the current situation. The exception of the state of Saxony-Anhalt from registration and the service provided was enacted at the request of the German Regulatory Authorities.
In connection with this we'd like to provide you the history of changes on the website:
At the time of the player's registration, namely 30.05.2020, we had not any notifications of the exclusion of Saxony-Anhalt from registration.
However, from 31.08.2021 for all current players, there was an announcement about the need to provide missing data due to the request of the regulatory authority.
After that, the player was forwarded to the profile, where it was necessary to enter the maiden name, birth name, nationality, and state. When specifying Saxony-Anhalt, the player sees the following system message: Unfortunately, registration is not allowed for residents of Saxony-Anhalt.
Unfortunately, the player ignored this notification and filled out the text box with Saxony.
6.09.2021 the player made a deposit on the website and after we requested the documents, it turned out that we could not provide services for the player. As a result, we were forced to immediately charge the balance and close the account according to clause 3.3 of the rules and refund the deposit.
We are very sorry and once again for the inconvenience.
Frankly yours,
FrankSpiele

And even of the alleged reimbursement of my deposit, I did not receive anything, although I still believe that I am actually entitled to the winnings 🙁 in an emergency, if it cannot be clarified here, I will also report it to the licensing institutions (mga) because I feel really betrayed me it is probably not a lot of money for you, but I was happy about 300 euros 🙁

Dear Frank Casino,
If the player chose a "restricted state" in the form, why wasn't his account automatically blocked and why was he even allowed to make further deposits and continue playing?

The statement from the casino to have reimbursed my deposits is also not truthful ... I have not received any winnings or deposits until today ... !!!!
I just find it sad that customers are dealt with in this way ... And if the regulation did not apply in 2020, why didn't your IT simply compare the postcodes of the accounts with databases and point this out to the players? Which come from Saxony-Anhalt using the postcode ...

Why does the casino claim to have refunded the money to me, can I please receive receipts that prove that you have refunded it ???
According to the following quote, the money would have to be with me on September 6th, 2021
September 6th, 2021 the player made a deposit on the website and after we requested the documents it turned out that we could not provide any services to the player. As a result, we were forced to debit the balance immediately and close the account in accordance with section 3.3 of the rules and refund the deposit.
Why haven't I received a cent to this day ???

Dear Casino Guru,
In answer to your question «If the player chose a "restricted state" in the form, why wasn't his account automatically blocked and why was he even allowed to make further deposits and continue playing?», if the player chose a restricted state he wouldn’t be able to complete registration or update his data in the profile.
Dear @Sebbomd, we truly requested the documents to refund the deposit as soon as we understood that the player is from a restricted state. Unfortunately, we can not always influence how quickly the deposit can be credited to the client's account. Please accept our apologies for the closed account and delay in the refund.
Frankly yours,

Dear Sebbomd,
I tested the registration myself and found that there is no way around and you have to choose the correct state to proceed. If you really chose Saxony instead of Saxony-Anhalt in the form, I'm afraid you will only be eligible for your deposit. Please let me know when you receive it.
Thank you Frank Casino team for your help.

I didn't give any false information there ... I am surprised that the chat said at the time I came from Lower Saxony and was therefore blocked and the casino management claims I had chosen Saxony ... I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but the information was possibly retrospectively edited .... When I registered there in 2020, this ad was not available .... 🙁 And I don't remember having entered anything about my state ... And if that was the case then I 100% didn't have any wrong ones information provided ... or paid in with incorrect information that would have been stupid if I knew that there would be no profit distribution in the case of incorrect information 🙁

Dear Sebbomd,
I'm afraid we don't have any evidence to prove that you successfully chose the correct state. If the system is set to automatically block the players from Saxony-Anhalt, there is no way around it. Let me ask you a question: When did you win those €300? Was it before or after 31.08.2021?

Despite multiple requests in the chat which asked me again and again for "a little" patience, I haven't received a cent to this day 🙁 🙁 🙁
Not that you already have to accept the reimbursement of deposits due to a lack of evidence, despite the casino's mistakes, or rather that you have to put up with it ... No !!! If this is even promised but not paid 🙁 ...
The payment was confirmed to me 5 days ago by an employee in the chat ... And honestly, no bank needed for a transfer ... Not even if the banks would send each other the coal by post, it would take that long ...
Why it was even necessary to enter account data instead of sending the money back instantly via muchbetter, as I also made the deposit, remains a mystery to me
Everything dubious ... At the casino
To exclude Saxony-Anhalt, of all places, although German law should apply to all citizens of this country ...
But well ... is also the only casino I know with such strange rules and regulations ...
I'm curious if I will see the money again ...
Save yourself paying in here ... in the event of a win you will be accused of violating something anyway ... or of having given false information ...
