Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

11 hours ago

The player from the United Kingdom faced withdrawal issues after winning £401.19 and was told her IBAN was wrong, despite having used it successfully in the past. She was under investigation with £160 deducted for chargebacks and £241 blocked, while she questioned the casino's licensing status and received unsolicited calls. The Complaints Team rejected her complaint at her request, allowing her to pursue resolution directly with the casino. Ultimately, the casino indicated that the withdrawal issue was tied to ongoing disputes, and the player was advised against disputing transactions, which could have led to further complications.

I don't know where to start! This company is completely underhand. I found them via Google search for new uk casinos. I won at first £223 but the kept saying the Iban was wrong even though it's been used hundreds of times and wouldn't tell me what was wrong with it.


I thought let me play some more and see They take your deposits I might add. So I'm now winning £401.19 and that I'm now under Investigation why I ask no reply bar it will take up to 6 months and they '£160 'of the money for charge back from the account for themselves and block the other £241.


Are they getting shitty because I've told them they're not licenced to operate in the UK? and all of a sudden I'm getting phone calls from mobile numbers with foreign speaking people asking do I want to joint a new casino.

They said the iban was wrong. I have used it many times before. Then when they wouldn't tell me what the problem was I contacted the British Gaming Commission and they said they're not registered here. I have contacted Curaco and they've bot responded yet.


The company is not taking my winnings.

I will happily stop the dispute if they also pay me the £160 that they took.


Also I kept asking what was wrong with the iban and they wouldn't tell me so how can I withdraw?

Please read what I'm writing carefully and with understanding. The casino won't help you until this complaint remains open as I explained previously. Would you like me to reject it so you can try to resolve it with the casino on your own? If you won't be able to resolve it, you can request the reopening of the complaint through your account or write me at peter.c@casino.guru. Thank you for your understanding!

They are liars and need to shut down

Dear Freshbet Casino representative, it seems that the stopping of the dispute has in fact not helped the player resolve their issue. Could you clarify why the player's dispute has still not been resolved? Thank you in advance!

Hello,


Dear Casino Guru representative, we would like to inform you once again that the user disputed the transaction made on the website and as result we returned disputed amount (160 GBP) and deducted it from the winnings obviously. Also, as we can see, there is ongoing dispute regarding other transactions so this complaint is not relevant and we kindly ask you to close it accordingly.


Regards.

Dear Lolly1964, the casino representative has kindly provided me with an explanation through email. I highly advise against disputing your deposits at the casino as it can lead to similar situations in the future and blacklist you from the industry as a whole. With that in mind, we believe the steps the casino is taking will be justified and we will reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding!

Kind regards,

Peter
