Case summary

10 months ago

The player from the Netherlands had won 1500 euros after depositing 280 euros at Paradise Play Casino. After ID verification, the casino confiscated the player's winnings and closed his account, citing the player's health and well-being as the reason. The player had denied any gambling addiction and claimed that the casino was refusing to pay out his winnings. The player had accounts with other casinos owned by Sarah Eternal S.R.L. and had requested account closure due to lack of customer loyalty, not self-exclusion due to gambling problems. Despite attempts by the Complaints Team to resolve the issue, the casino had not responded, leaving the complaint unresolved.

My complaint is with paradisecasino.com they have same platform as playboom24 but I could not choose the casino because its a new casino from Sarah Eternal S.R.L. ( same like playboom, skycasino etc ).


Ive registered on paradiscasino.com and deposited 280 euro. Ive been lucky and won 150


After I made the withdrawal I had to verify myself and I did I was verified.

But still the message keep popping up that I should verify myself.


So today ive send many emails and chat about my verification. They said I had to send my documents to support email. And I did. They were accepted.


Then all of a sudden I get a email they confiscate my withdraws and block my account.

Dear mhroelink1,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with Paradise Play Casino.

Do you have accounts in other casinos operated by Sarah Eternal S.R.L.? If so, could you please advise if you requested self-exclusion in any of these casinos?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Hello,



Self exclusion only applies on casinosky & playboom.

Also the reason I closed my account was not gambling addiction related. As I should have send a email then tell them im a gambling addict.



Its because I won 1500 and there is 65 euro in my casino account and they just dont want to pay out my winnings.


I didnt had any gambling addicted behaviour at all. Even at casinosky I didnt had any addicted problems.

Ive deposit a few 100 and withdraw a few 100. I self excluded because the website the games didnt gave anything anymore.


If you self exclude/close account it doesnt says your a problem gambler. It maybe says in the description you think maybe you play to often. But it does not says im a problem gambler i have problems i lose to much money so I want to close my account!


If you want to self exclude on their website for gambling addiction you can contact support trough email.

And again if you self exclude it would only be on the website you are playing on not on the other brands of Sarah ltd. As again shown on the screenshot.


It really just is because I won 1500 euro they do not want to pay my winnings. And flag me by no reason.


But I see casinoguru once again cant do anything. As I already knew. Because playboom etc is same brand and even there the casino doesnt response on any complaints. And have many blackpoints.


Fun fact is ive closed my account on playboom aswell last year. And I could play on casinosky what ever I wanted and withdraw as I wanted. But those were not huge amounts. But if you win 1500 euro they flag you?. So you really dont see that is a scam? ;) .


Dont even know why im bothering with responding on this because obviously you guys are in favor of the casino's so often for ridiclous reasons.



280 euro deposit as a new member is not gambling addiction behaviour.


Self exclusion on a other website ( casinosky ) will not be put on all casino's of the sarah brand.


That selfexclusion was because I didnt like thenwebsite not because I was gambling addicted. I only deposit there a few 100 and withdraw a few 100.


Conclusion: if you win big on a other casino they flag you and say yes we take away your money and close your account for you for wellbeing?


Also there terms and conditions say nothing about confiscating the money if you have a account on another platform of sarah eternal SRL.


Based on your T&C its not saying anything about confiscated funds. 

8.4. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to block or close your Account on any platform owned by Sarah Eternal S.R.L. if we consider that your continued use of our Services is detrimental to your health and well-being


In a other piece of your terms you specifically say it can be confiscated in this one you are only telling that my account can be blocked.


In another piece of information of there Terms and conditions it says if you have Duplicated account we are in the right to confiscated the funds. this is not the case so they should pay out my winnings.


Bes regards

Michiel

Could you please specify if you had accounts in any other casinos besides Paradise Play owned by Sarah Eternal S. R. L.?

Have you requested to be self-excluded in any of them? If so, did you self-exclude in your account directly, or did you get in touch with customer support and send them an email requesting self-exclusion?

Have you used the same personal information for registering in the casinos owned by Sarah Eternal S. R. L.?

If you have any relevant communication between you and the casino regarding your case, please forward it to veronika.l@casino.guru. Alternatively, you may post screenshots here.

Hello mhroelink1,


I have reviewed your case and will contact the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite Paradise Play Casino to join the conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.


Dear Paradise Play Casino,

Could you please explain why the player's winnings were confiscated despite the player only requesting account closure?

 

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 mhroelink1,

 

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

 

Since the casino operates under the Costa Rica license which doesn't have the option to file an official complaint with the licensing authority, I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this.

 

I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

 

Best regards,

Tomas
