The player from Sweden is experiencing difficulties withdrawing his funds. The issue was resolved.
Hello
This applies to a casino company with name on website www.gate777.com
I registered a couple of days ago so March 1 and I made a deposit of SEK 6000 and won SEK 4000, so I made a withdrawal of SEK 10000 and paused 24 hours for them had a function where you can cancel the withdrawal so you were afraid of losing everything . So I came back after a day and I saw that the money is still there I paused again for 24 hours. And after a couple of hours the money was in my account. You became happy of course. So I was going to do a replay, on the 3rd of March I put in 6000 SEK and won 4,000 SEK and as last time I made a withdrawal of 10000 SEK and break 24 hours. But this time did not go and log in at all even though it has passed a day. So I contacted their support via live chat and told the story then the girl said if I could wait so she could ask the right department, sure I said, so she came back and said my account is closed due to updates, and they are waiting for answers. As soon as they get the answer, send them an email to me. Then I said what to update, what is the purpose or reason for closing account just so why without even notifying. No I got no answer, the only thing she could say is that I have to wait until they mail. And how long to wait, she didn't know it either.
So my question to you who are knowledgeable. You can do this to your customers and be treated this way.
If you have closed an account then those who work there should know why and inform if there is some type of document verification or something.
I have been playing for so many years and have never been to anything like that.
Am very grateful for tips or help

Dear Moses,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, even if I’m not sure that I have understood it completely. Please could you confirm that you tried to take a time-out after you have accumulated your winnings and now your account is closed? I have checked terms and conditions, and this is what I found (https://www.gate777.com/playerprotection):
"Time-out (take a break)
You may temporarily block yourself from the Website for a period of twenty-four (24) hours up to six (6) weeks by accessing Responsible Gambling from within the My Account section of the Website or by clicking here, and selecting your required time-out duration. On confirming the time-out duration, your account will be immediately suspended, and you will not be able to login to your account until the selected duration has expired. Any request to undo your time-out period will only come into effect after a 24 hour cool off period.
During your time-out, any balances and advance wagers that you have placed will remain and any winnings will be credited to your account. You can only access your winnings after the cool off period has ended. It is possible that bonuses may expire during the time-out period, in accordance with the bonus terms and conditions. We cannot reinstate any expired bonuses if the account is reopened after the time-out period."
To conclude, your account was closed after you have accumulated winnings and asked for 24-hour time-out? I hope, we will be able to help you with your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela
I have taken a break for 24 hours thus timeout. But now it is 3 days and account is closed. I just wanted to know why🙁
Thank you very much Moses for providing all the necessary information. I will transfer now your complaint to my colleague Peter 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.
Hi Moses,
I looked at the complaint and understand the issue. I would like to ask the Gate 777 Casino for a response.
Im still waiting for answer.
They can't answer for simple question why they close my account
Is that normal?

Here at Gate777 we pride ourselves on ensuring that our players enjoy our services in the most responsible way.

We are pleased to confirm that your withdrawal was however processed on 2nd March 2020 to the account linked to Trustly and would have cleared within 2 – 5 business days thereafter.
Further to the status of your account, we note that as no internal dispute was raised with ourselves, the suspension remained following receipt of this dispute, in accordance with our Complaints and Disputes Procedure – outlined in Clause 21 of our Terms and Conditions https://www.gate777.com/terms.
We therefore encourage you to reach out to our Complaints Team directly on complaints@gate777.com for further assistance in this regard.

This is not a complaint, I have been playing since 2004 and registered with 10 different companies and I can say that I have never experienced or been treated this way, I think you should get at least one answer as to why you closed the account. I never got it, I also emailed and got no reply, I talked to your support and they said it can take up to 21 days, a serious company absolutely does not do so. Just getting a response takes 21 days sounds absolutely not normal. It's been 11 days now and I still didn't get an answer.
It is frustrating and hard to work in this way. That you ignore your customers. Had I not written here to the guru then you would not have heard from you.
You should really be ashamed. Or maybe you do so because you want people to give up? I will never do that just so you know.
The fact that you could not answer why my account is locked proves that you are Sweden's worst gaming company.
I'll hear from you after 21 days
Best regards / Moses
Hi Moses,
I talked to a casino rep and I was informed that your issue was already resolved. Since you stated that this wasn't a complaint and the problem no longer exists, I will close the case accordingly in our system. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
Best regards,
Peter
We’ve reopened this complaint as per the player’s request.
Hi Moses, you asked for a reopen, but I'm not sure how I can help you and what I can help you with. I chatted with a casino rep repeatedly. I asked them to provide relevant evidence that they send you the money and they did. So since you received your money, is there anything else I can assist you with?
I want an answer to why did they close my account?
If I get an answer then I am satisfied.
It's been 17 days without knowing why.
Is this normal?
Mvh Moses
I got an answer after 20 days of waiting
Dear Moses,
Kindly note that following a recent review of your account and correspondence we have taken the decision to suspend your account with Gate777 Casino.
We note that we hold an explicit right to accept or decline account applications and draw your attention to Clause 4.3 of our terms and conditions https://www.gate777.com/terms which confirm "Acceptance of an account application is within our discretion"
The decision taken in this respect is final.
Kind Regards
Casino Management
So my question is how comes?
Is that normal to do that. Is that because I open an account and won and they are afraid that I continue to win? So they make a decision to close my account without any reason?
I have never ever seen like this before.
So please don't recommend to the poeple if they behave us like that. That's absolutely not normal. A serious company can never do like that
I would be happy if I found out why they did so and I would accept their decision if i get an answer
Best wishes Moses
Hi Moses,
I chatted with a casino rep and the casino's decision is permanent. A simple answer to your question if the casino can exclude a player would be "yes". As mentioned before, casinos hold an explicit right to accept or decline account applications within their discretion. Since your primary issue was resolved, I will now close this complaint. I can't penalize the casino for not letting you play. I wish I was of more help. Thanks for cooperation and don’t hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
Best regards,
Peter
