Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

1 year ago

The player from the United Kingdom had deposited money using his girlfriend's card, won, but couldn't withdraw the winnings due to ID verification issues. Despite having provided the necessary proof, the casino continued to hold the funds and only a small amount had been sent to the girlfriend's account. This issue had been ongoing for 4 weeks. We found that the player had breached the casino's Terms and Conditions by using a payment method not in his name. Despite the player having provided ID for himself and his girlfriend, it did not change the fact that the rule had been breached. As such, we were unable to assist further and the complaint was rejected.

Dear Donmarie26585,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I have checked the T&Cs, and this is what I found:

"All payment methods must be owned by, and in the same name of, the person registered on the Pink Riches account."


Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players:

"Payments
For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations."


Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only.

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply and understanding.

Best regards,

Kristina

Please note that this doesn't change the fact that you breached one of the main rules of online gambling by depositing with a payment method that has not been issued in your name. The casino just probably tries to ensure that you didn't use a stolen card. I am afraid that we are not able to proceed with this complaint because the casino acted in compliance with their T&Cs.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
