Hugewin Casino - Player's Bitcoin deposit not credited to their account.

I deposited $100 via Bitcoin earlier this week and when I checked back 24 hours later my account was not credited for it. I looked up the payment and confirmed it was sent and gave the casino rep all the info to locate and apply to my account. After disappearing for about 5-10 minutes the rep came back and stated that the payment was not sent to one of their account. How could this be I stated. I used the QR Code they provided...I did not copy and paste, I did not enter it manually. There was no room for error. Then they tried to tell me that they don't give qr codes for deposits. Which I thought was pretty strange considering literally every casino that processes bitcoin uses QR CODES. So, if this person doesn't know, how am I supposed to trust anything they say. I don't care if the account exists on their end, they provided the account to send it to and I sent it. Any legitimate business would cover their responsibility in this situation and credit my account. But not this casino as they are not respectable.

part of my conversation -

"When I spoke to Harry, he tried to say the account I sent it to was not one of yours. But I'm sorry, that's not acceptable because i used the QR Code you gave me. I didn't copy and paste or type anything. So there's no room for error. If the account I sent it to was wrong then the qrcode was wrong...neither of which are my fault"

Dear rboyce212,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.

I would like to warn you, that if your deposit has never been credited to your casino account, the only thing you can do is to contact your payment provider. They need to investigate, but bear in mind, that it’s a lengthy process which takes approximately one month. In these cases, casino has its hands tied. Meanwhile, I would strongly recommend not to deposit any more funds until the issue is sorted.

If the money got lost during the transaction, it’s going to take some time before it’ll be credited to your casino account.

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

Best regards,

Nick

Please be aware: At Casino.Guru, we never ask for your casino account password. While we may request information, we never seek access to your account. Please refrain from sharing your password with any third party. We primarily communicate through official threads, occasionally via email for requested supporting evidence or relevant communication.

Thanks. I contacted the payment provider and they told me that once the funds are sent they are irreversible.

Dear rboyce212,

Did you receive any kind of payment confirmation from the provider? Did you forward it to the casino?

Yes, I uploaded all the screenshots and I have the hash info from mempool.space confirming the transaction.

and yes I provided them with all that info. They are saying it's not their account. But, even if I believed them, it's the address that was created from their QR Code...if their code sent my money somewhere else, I don't feel the customer should be held liable for this. I'm already paying high fees to purchase bitcoin and then more fees to send it and get it processed quickly (not too mention fees from the casino to receive and then again if I withdrawal the funds), they can't just refuse all accountability for every transaction where they receive money from customers.

Thank you rboyce212 for all the information provided. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Branislav (branislav.b@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.

Wish you best luck resolving it.

Regards,

Nick

Hello, rboyce212,

I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. However, I am not sure what more we can find out from the casino compared to the information you have already received from the casino live chat representative. Although there are QR codes, you provided only communication with live chat and screenshots of the transaction from your e-wallet, which can be a random transaction made from your e-wallet to any random e-wallet. I cannot see anything that could connect your screenshot (the successful transaction that went to some e-wallet) with the alleged deposit you made to the casino. In the meantime, while waiting for the casino's response, please provide me with the following information:

• Did you make any other deposit(s) to any other online casino(s) on the same day as the disputed deposit?
• Is it possible that you could have messed up different transactions in your e-wallet?
• Are you 100% sure that the transaction in your screenshots is the deposit made to the casino? Were there other transactions of the same amount made on the same day deducted from your e-wallet? Can you check it once again in your e-wallet and confirm there was no other similar transaction(s) made on the same day/similar time as the disputed deposit to Hugewin Casino?
• Since your casino account should still be active and accessible, can you please share your transaction history (especially the list of deposits) from your account? Screenshot(s), where your casino account ID and the casino's website link or logo are visible, would be appreciated.

Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.

Dear Hugewin Casino team,

Could you please look into the player's issue and provide us with the results of your investigation? Can you see any attempt for a deposit on the user's casino account? Is it possible to gain an e-wallet number that was shown to him upon making the deposit? Can you also double-check the communication between the user and live chat representative Kate regarding the issue? It looks like he was provided with incorrect information.

To avoid misunderstanding about claims that there are QR codes when depositing to a casino account, I am attaching screenshots from your casino and the payment gate I was redirected to while trying to deposit BTC to my casino account (automatically redirected from the casino cashier).

Is the receiving BTC e-wallet address the same for all players or does each player receive a somehow specific e-wallet to send funds to?

If it suits you better, feel free to send the necessary details and/or evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

Thank you for the response.

I was low on cash that night in my account so this $100 deposit was the only money I sent that entire evening. I chose the lower cost method of sending bitcoin, so the transaction was expected to occur in a couple hours...I constantly checked my phone all night to see if it had gone through and it hadn't. It was really frustrating to me, but that's what I get for not paying the additional fees for priority bitcoin processing (which can go as high as $10). I eventually gave up on the transaction and stopped watching it after about 5 hours. When I checked the following day I saw that it finally went through but took nearly 20 hours (which is absurd...but not the casino's fault, that had nothing to do with them). So, with so much time having passed, you can imagine my surprise when I logged into my account and didn't see my funds. I went back to check the transaction again and confirmed it was sent successfully. I grabbed the hash information and contacted support. I had waited 24 hours to scratch my gambling itch and would soon discover that it would remain the same once I was told they didn't have my money and wouldn't do anything about it. I couldn't even go somewhere else at the time, as I didn't have the funds to do so.

Did you make any other deposit(s), to any other online casino(s) on the same day as the disputed deposit? Definitely not, as described above.

Is it possible that you could have messed up different transactions in your e-wallet?

I only made one transaction that entire week, and to send the funds I used the qr code scan to send the funds.

Are you 100% sure that the transaction in your screenshots is the deposit made to the casino?

I am 100% certain that transaction was the one I made that night using the QR Code.

Were there other transactions of the same amount made on the same day deducted from your e-wallet? Can you check it once again in your e-wallet and confirm there was no other similar transaction(s) made on the same day/similar time as the disputed deposit to Hugewin Casino?

It's the only one I made within a span of a week before and about 4 days after.

Since your casino account should still be active and accessible, can you please share your transaction history (especially the list of deposits) from your account? Screenshot(s), where your casino account ID and the casino's website link or logo are visible, would be appreciated.

Sure, this was my second deposit with the casino, so my history on their site only shows the one transaction prior.

You'll see my one deposit and another shot for the one withdrawal (yes, this is one of the rare occasions that I was able to withdrawal from just a single deposit).

Thanks again Branislav, for your detailed message and thorough investigation/explanation.

Despite repeatedly informing the member that we will refund their money, they did not connect through other channels. The system automatically processes deposits. It is impossible for there to be an error with the QR code. The member sent their money to another address instead of ours. Nevertheless, we are refunding their money. Please ask them to connect to the live support line and request to speak with Leo so that we can proceed with the refund.

Dear rboyce212,

Can you please follow the casino representative's instructions and let us know about the progress?

Thank you I would be happy to, this is the first time I've heard an offer to refund me.

Thank you Branislav...they have resolved the issue for me with your help.

Thank you, rboyce212, for confirmation and for using the Casino Guru complaint resolution centre. As the issue has been successfully resolved, I will now mark your complaint as 'resolved' in our system. Although I sincerely hope it will not happen, please do not hesitate to contact us in the future if you run into any issues with this or any other casino. We are here to help.

However, in the future, if you plan to continue playing at the casino and use these types of payment methods, I strongly recommend you take screenshots of the deposit process.

Thank you, Hugewin Casino, for your help and cooperation!

Best regards,

Branislav, Casino.guru
