LuckyBull Casino - The player's account got blocked.

Hei,

Pelasin LuckyBull casinolla 16. kesäkuuta 2022 ja otin käyttöön heidän tarjoaman 100% tervetuliaisbonuksen. Talletin 166e tähän bonukseen.

Kierrätin bonuksen läpi ja tämän jälkeen loin nostopyynnön saldolleni 1327,40e.

Tämän jälkeen he kysyivät useita dokumentteja (ID, asuinpaikkatodistus, kuitti talletuksesta & tiliote). Tämän jälkeen he vaativat paperista versiota tiliotteesta, eivätkä hyväksyneet pankista tulostettua PDF versiota. Tilasin pankista paperisen tiliotteen josta jouduin vielä maksamaan, mutta sekään ei riittänyt.

Tämän jälkeen he vain syyttivät minua huijaamisesta, veivät kaikki rahani pelitililtäni ja myös sulkivat tilini. He väittävät, että olen rikkonut heidän ehtojaan, mutta kun koitan kysyä tarkennusta, niin he eivät kerro mitään.

Ennen bonuksen ottamista, luin tarkasti heidän käyttöehtonsa läpi, nini kuin aina uuden casinon kohdalla tulee tehtyä. Olen varma, etten ole rikkonut mitään heidän sääntöään, mutta silti he eivät maksa rahojani pois.

Voisitteko auttaa tämän kanssa? En oikein tiedä enää mitä tehdä, kun casino ei anna minulle mitään informaatiota asiasta..

Hello iiroo1010,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with LuckyBull Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and is yes, since when exactly? When exactly did the casino block your account? Did they ever state at least the term you breached? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi LuckyBull,

I have not been in any collusion of fraud. Please describe more what you suspect me of. I do not accept this.

Thank you for the response and the provided evidence LuckyBull Casino team.

Dear iiroo1010,

We have received evidence from LuckyBull Casino team that indeed rises suspicion, however, we are not fully convinced that the evidence is sufficient to come to a clear decision so we have requested additional information to shed more clear light on the situation.

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the update.

Please share with me the things they claim I did so I can comment it myself also. I am sure I have not broken the terms.

Kind regards

Dear iiroo1010,

I'm afraid I can't share any confidential information with you or any 3rd party as that's our company policy.

I understand your point and ideally, the casinos should inform the players clearly how and which rules were breached, however, we know from experience that the casinos are quite often not willing to share detailed information as it could be misused against the casino by any other players that can use the information to their unfair advantage. With this being said, please be rest assured that we always looking at all the evidence we can gain and ruling our decision based on the facts.

Casino.guru is an independent source of information about online casinos, online casino games and acts as a mediator in resolving players’ disputes that is not controlled by any gambling operator.

I'm waiting for additional evidence from LuckyBull Casino team to better understand the whole situation.

Hi Michal,

Ok, I understand.

I will wait and trust in your decision.

Kind regards

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Michal,

As per your request, we have provided you with additional details over the e-mail.

Best regards

Customer Experience Team

Dear iiroo1010,

After a careful review of the evidence provided by the casino, I am afraid I am no longer able to pursue this case.

We have received evidence indicating that you and other players worked together as a group with the intention to abuse casino bonuses.

Unfortunately, after gathering all the necessary information we are forced to reject this complaint.

If you feel you want to take this complaint further you can contact MADRE – an alternative dispute resolution service (https://madre-online.eu/file-a-claim-international/) and submit a complaint to them. It collaborates with the Malta Gaming Authority and has better options and tools to help players. The next step would be contacting the Malta Gaming Authority itself (Lodge a Complaint - Malta Gaming Authority (mga.org.mt)). Please let me know how they responded to michal.k@casino.guru

We are sorry We could not be of more help on this occasion. If you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Michal
