FunbetCasino - Player’s account has been blocked.

My casino account was closed after a withdrawal request. I viestitellyt with the casino's customer service personnel as early as 6 months. They always ask to wait and do not justify closing the account in any way, but I do not think it should take that long to sort out such a matter.

Dear Anssi

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Was your account fully verified previously? Could you please advise if you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus and clarify if you’ve received any withdrawals in the past? Do I understand correctly that your account has been blocked six months ago?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Yes, my account was blocked six months ago. I sent all the necessary documents to the casino and they confirmed my account. I won with a non-sticky bonus on the raw portion, canceled the bonus and placed a withdrawal request, after which my account was closed. I have not received withdrawals from that casino before.

Thank you very much, Anssi, for your reply. Could you please clarify what you meant by: "I won with a non-sticky bonus on the raw portion, canceled the bonus and placed a withdrawal request".

Have you canceled the bonus or completed the wagering requirements?

I canceled the bonus before withdrawing

Have you completed bonus wagering requirements?

I didn’t offend any bonus terms, it was a non-sticky bonus that I canceled before the withdrawal

If you have cancelled your bonus before completing wagering requirements then not only your bonus would be voided but accumulated winnings too.

I didn’t drop for bonus funds. I took home my share of the money.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I didn't understand your last reply. Could you please elaborate?

I didn't reach my bonus funds. I was on the raw part of the non-sticky bonus and cancelled the bonus part before making a withdrawal. I didn't break any bonus terms and i asked and made sure with the customer service if this was the case why my account was cancelled. Customer service said even theyre not sure why my account was frozen.

I fully understand your point of view. I'm just implying that casinos consider real and bonus money to be one package from the point a promotional offer has been activated and by cancelling the offer, all the winnings are usually ceased. Could you please advise if you have communicated a possibility to opting out from bonus offers or cancelling the active promotion beforehand? Thank you very much in advance for your reply. 

Do you undestand what non-sticky bonus means? If i don't reach the bonus part, the bonus can be cancelled and the winnings can be withdrawn from the casino. And i didn't reach the bonus part. After i made wihdrawal request my account was instantly closed and i sent all the necessary documents. I asked for the reason why my account was closed but the customer service and other departments didn't know the reason. Even after 6-7 months.

Yes, I do understand what a non-sticky bonus means. Regrettably, your definition is incorrect.

"A Non Sticky Casino Bonus is a cashable bonus that a player can convert into cash once they have met all the bonus requirements. A player usually receives the bonus upon signing up and making their first deposit. A typical Non Sticky Bonus ranges from 50% – 100% of the deposit."

"To put it another way, a sticky bonus is added to your bankroll, usually when you make a deposit, and when you're done gambling and want to cash out, the sticky bonus is deducted from your balance. ... On a cashable deposit bonus, you can cash out any money from the bonus"

But i made sure that i didn't break any rules. Nobody knows what is the reason for closing my account. Even the customer support or the relevant team doesn't. The point is that my account was closed for no reason and my mnoey was left inside my account and nobody knows why.

Thank you very much, Anssi, for your reply. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Viliam who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
