Case summary

5 months ago

A new player from Mexico had deposited money at Pin Up Casino using her son's account, played games, and then attempted to withdraw winnings. However, difficulties had arisen with the withdrawal process. Shortly after, her casino account was blocked without warning, effectively causing a loss of both her original deposit and the winnings. The complaints team had clarified that the player violated the casino's terms by depositing with a third-party account. As a result, the casino had the right to confiscate any winnings and block her account. The player's son, as the owner of the deposit method used, could have requested a refund of his deposits. The complaint was closed based on these facts.

Hello, my name is Saira, I am new to the world of casinos. I was recommended Pin Up Casino to start playing slot machines. I asked my son to help me create an account, which he did. Once the account was open, I began verifying it by confirming my phone number, uploading my identification, and performing facial recognition. Everything went smoothly, the verification process was successful. With my account now verified, I proceeded to make a deposit via SPEI, assisted by my son as I don't have a bank account. He made a deposit of $400 pesos for me. Being a new user, I received a bonus of 120% and free spins. I started to play and lost the real money, so I began playing with the bonus amount and was lucky enough to win almost $3000 pesos after fulfilling the bet terms. I was extremely happy and excited. I immediately withdrew $2500 pesos and kept the rest in the account for future games. However, here's where the problem began.

The withdrawal started taking more time than expected, and the amount wasn't deducted from my main balance. I cancelled the first withdrawal thinking it might be due to SPEI, so I tried a new request to my son's account, but the same issue persisted. Hours later, when I tried opening the page, it showed that the site was under maintenance and asked me to wait. Upon reopening, I was logged out of my account. When I tried logging back in, it showed a technical issue and asked me to try later. When I checked the email registered against my account, I found an email stating my account had been blocked and then another saying it had already been unblocked (I'll attach the screenshots below). I contacted customer support and upon verification, they informed me that I had allegedly violated the terms and conditions during the account setup and it couldn't be unblocked because they found it suspicious. It's illogical to me because if it was truly suspicious, why did I pass the verification process initially?

If they found it suspicious, shouldn't they have informed me immediately so that I could rectify any errors? They found my details suspicious but accepted them successfully, which led me to make my initial deposit with more confidence. I believe it was unfair that had I not won and kept depositing money, my account wouldn't have been blocked as long as the casino was winning. But when I won using the bonus money and tried to withdraw my winnings, they suddenly claimed it was suspicious and accused me of violating their terms and conditions. They blocked my account without any prior warning causing me to lose both my invested money as well as the winnings from my first day at the casino.

So this is my situation currently, I'm hoping for assistance in resolving this issue in hopes of recovering at least my initial deposit of 400 Pesos, and if I can get my winnings back as well, it would be even better. Thank you for your time.

Hello belikiel.09,

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

Could you please advise since when is your account fully verified? Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus? Wasn't there any other available payment method you could have use? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Please note that it is strictly against the casino policy to deposit with a 3rd party method and they have right to confiscate any winnings and block the account forever. The owner of the method may however request a refund of his deposit.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

I have been verified since yesterday

The money I won was with the bonus by meeting the terms of the bet so that real money was made.

The deposit I made of 400 pesos was made by my son with his account since I do not have a bank account and he made a deposit via spei from his app.

Likewise, since I do not have a bank account, I requested the withdrawal to my son's account. I did not know that it could not be done in such a way, but when I did so, I did notify support since it was taking a while and they did not tell me. nothing about it.

The last time I spoke with support was a few hours ago and they explained to me that I had violated terms and conditions by having entered the data to register and register, which seemed suspicious to them, to which I told them that then why did it seem suspicious to them? Why did they accept me? Verification from the beginning? Or having made the first deposit from my son's account? From there they could have realized it and given me a warning notice or blocked my account, but it wasn't until I won and decided to make a withdrawal of the winnings, then they applied the full weight of the terms to me, but what would have happened? If I had lost and would I have continued depositing from my son's app? Would they have blocked my account so that I could not continue depositing? Or would they have at least warned me what was going to happen? The truth is I don't believe it, as long as they won they weren't going to tell me anything as long as I put money in even if it was a third party's account, in this case my son, but since I won there they decided to look closely and block me!!!! That's what I talked to them about.

Hello belikiel.09,

Please note that they could not know who's method did you use until you sent them the documents from the payment provider.

Unfortunately, as stated above, you breached the casino terms by depositing with a 3rd party.

The owner of the payment provider used can try to request a refund of his deposits but nothing else can be done. The casino has right to confiscate any winnings and block you.

We will be now closing the complaint based on the above stated facts.

Regards,

Nick
