The player from Brazil has been accused of opening multiple accounts. We rejected the complaint because the player didn't respond to our messages and questions.
On the 15.08th I had my account limited. The maximum bet I could place on events has changed from approximately R$2,000 to approximately R$15.00. I had a positive balance of BRL 28,520.00, and I didn't receive any message or email telling me the reason for the limitation.
As I have no interest in placing bets worth R$15.00, I requested the withdrawal of all amounts from my account, and I received 16 (sixteen) emails with requests for withdrawals in the amount of R$1,700.00 each and 1 (one) request in the amount of R$1,320.00.
On the following days, 8/16 and 08/17, I received 03 withdrawals: 1) R$ 1,512.98; 2) BRL 1,174.79.; and 3) BRL 1,527.39.
On 8/18, my account was listed as "blocked user".
I contacted GGBET support, and they informed me that the account had been blocked for having duplicate accounts.
I vehemently deny that I used any duplicate accounts.
In any case, GGBET's terms and conditions determine what the procedure should be in cases where duplicate accounts are identified.
Section 5.5 says that any other account I open on the site will be considered a duplicate account.
5.5.1 determines that transactions carried out on the duplicate account will not be valid.
5.5.2 that all deposits made using the duplicate account will be refunded.
5.5.3 provides that any winnings or returns that I have acquired on my main account during the time the duplicate account was active will be removed and returned to GGBET and any funds withdrawn from the duplicate account will be returned to GGBET.
That is, gains or returns on the main account made before an alleged duplicate account was active are legitimate and should not be questioned by GGBET.
Further, Section 8.9 provides that GGBET could offset any positive balance in my account against any amount I owe GGBET upon termination of my account following the application of clause 5.5.3.
I contacted the GGBET chat, in the support channel.
When inquiring about the procedure, I was informed that no amount would be returned to me, as it allegedly violated the terms and conditions of the GGBET.
I then questioned the application of clauses 5.5, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 and 8.9, and their application to my case, since GGBET accuses me of using a duplicate account.
I was informed that there would be no refund of my amounts, and that they would be wrongfully taken from my account balance, even if such balance was not related to any activity that violated the terms and conditions.
Thus, in the event that GGBET finds that I have violated the terms and conditions by allegedly using a duplicate account, please use the same terms and conditions, applying clauses 5.5, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 and 8.9 and, after deducting the alleged earnings I had from the alleged duplicate account, to return the money I legitimately earned to me.
I'm looking for the appropriate legal measures, but I hope that the complaint on this site will help alarm others of the arbitrariness committed by GGBET.
Dear RafaelGustavo,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.
We will contact the casino and ask for supporting evidence, but, before we do so, could you please advise if, to the best of your knowledge, there’s a possibility that someone else from your family members or neighbors has opened an account from the same IP address or device as yours or using your email address? Is your account fully verified and have you withdrawn any winnings from this casino in the past? Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus?
If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.
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
