Case summary

2 weeks ago

The player from Sweden had a closed account after attempting to withdraw winnings of 1810 Euro, following successful document submission except for a selfie. Despite not using bonuses, the account was disabled without any communication from support. The issue was resolved after intervention from the Complaints Team, which led to the player successfully receiving his funds via a crypto wallet after initial withdrawal attempts were canceled due to payment method restrictions. The case was marked as 'resolved'.

I deposited around 300 Euro from my credit card and managed to win 1810 Euro.


Sent in ID card and documents that they approved, except for the selfie picture when I hold up the card, so I thought I'd take a new picture.


then I suddenly get kicked out of the Casino and it says that my account is ''Disabled''


No email, nothing from support.


I didnt use any bonuses, just raw deposits.


So now I'm sitting with a closed account of 1810 Euro that I really needed for the christmas.

Dear Lucid_1337,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

Have you managed to send a new selfie with your ID for verification before your account was disabled?

Have you tried contacting customer support via chat to ask why your account was blocked? Has it been disabled temporarily or permanently?

When exactly was your account blocked?

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!


I didn't have time to send a new picture, just as I was about to do so I noticed that I was kicked out of the page, the account says "disabled"


I first wrote to customer service by email and asked how long it would take to verify and withdraw money, but I never got an answer to that.


There doesn't seem to be any live support either, probably because I'm registered as a Swede, if I press support, only their email appears.


I added information to your email ( ) the other day as I was unable to edit or add more information here until now. Etc

Got an email right where it says that my withdrawal is cancelled.


I translated from German and it says that they want cards on the front and back of my credit card, I have however used a digital Visa card via Revolut.


They ask me to post pictures of the card inside my account, but the account is still "Disabled" and I still can't log in.


So I don't know how to solve this

Thank you for your replies.

Have you responded to the email provided by casino customer support and explained that you made your deposit via a virtual card? Did they provide any guidance on how to proceed?

Would it be possible for you to extract a PDF from your Revolut account showing the transfer of funds to the virtual card? Ideally, this document should contain all the personal information required by the casino for verification.

Hello!


Yes, I sent an email to their support 5 days ago and explained that I can't log in and upload documents because the account is still disabled, got no response at all.


It would be great if you could help me!


Sent a new email now with screenshots on Revolut confirming that I am the owner of the card and also pictures of the transactions, but it seems impossible to get a response. No working live chat.


I will look at Revolut if this can be done now.


It is possible to save/take screenshots so you can see the transfers to the casino (Noviristo and Alaje technology) and which card has been used and also the account where it says all the cards I own and my personal data.


Sincerely. Johannes

Hello Lucid_1337,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Platincasino to join the conversation.


Dear Platincasino,  

We understand that the casino reserves the right to close any player's account at its discretion. However, it is essential that all financial obligations are settled before such a closure occurs. To our knowledge, the player has not been charged with violating any terms, and we would appreciate your clarification regarding the decision not to process the player's withdrawal. If the information that led you to this decision can't be shared publicly please forward it to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Hi Michael!


The main account is "S " it is the only account that was active until platincasino decided to deactivate it due to "business decision"


Notice that it is .se and not .com.


Still have all the conversations on the email account between me and the casino. And at platincasino it shows that the account exists and is "disabled" when I try to log in with that particular email, can also give Casino guru access to log in and check this email address if necessary to see that the conversations actually exist, can also forward the conversations between me and platincasino to an email if desired.


This account was opened on October 27, 2024, and my documents were approved and verified (ID card, proof of address and photo of my Revolut account)

And there were no problems depositing money and playing, but right when I won money and wanted to withdraw, the problems started to arise.


It can also be added that Swedes are not allowed to use bonuses, so the winnings are won with pure money/deposits.



.


Answer to Platincasino: I want my winnings and not a refund of the deposits. I have an old account from 4 years ago that I forgot when you were under a completely different license and board that I personally closed and you confirmed this, so no I don't have multiple active accounts, this s the account is the only one that was active until you closed it as soon as I was going to withdraw the winnings and then the email conversations took place where you wrote that it was a "Business decision" and that you wrote that you wanted a picture on the front/back of the visa card.


I wrote that it is a digital Visa card through Revolut and gave you the documents then you didn't even respond until I chose to raise a complaint here, feels like you are doing everything to prevent people from getting their money, do you want a good future reputation, so a tip from me is to take care of everything nicely, then you are free to close people's accounts exactly as you want, but then pay out profits first.


The reason I registered with this email address was to avoid casino advertising and spam.


And they have never mentioned in the email that I would have had an old self-suspended account 4 years ago or that it would have had anything to do with this case, so it is strange that they cannot give concrete answers.


Had it been due to an old account, my ID documents and proof of address should not have been approved now, I have always lived at the same address and always used the same social security number.

Just got a refund on Revolut from platinum casino, but only of my deposits, no winnings to be seen. Where did they go?


It is terribly bad of them to deny withdrawal of my winnings without any particular reason (Business decision) and only refund the deposits, if I had instead lost the deposits, they would not have paid back and instead completely ignored me and kept the money.


So please pay out my winnings of 1810 euros thanks, you can remove the deposits you just paid out in the total, that's perfectly ok, but there is still a whole 1572 euros missing that you owe me.



So please do the right thing for yourselves, I have not done anything wrong here nor have I played with any bonus, I won the amount with pure deposits and you approved my documents and ID card and allowed me to play until I won and would withdraw the winnings, in none of the emails does it say that you will not pay out the winnings, instead I received an email where you want the front/back of the credit card, this email came after you deactivated my account?!


Still wondering what kind of "Business decision" it is that makes you refuse to pay people their winnings..


You have received all the documents you need from Revolut, I have emailed you these with no response.


Really hope casinoguru is on my side because I will take this case as far as it takes until I get my winnings back which I have every right to get, you accept Swedish players and I only have one active account which you closed, so where have I did wrong?

Dear Platincasino,  

I kindly request that you provide any evidence regarding the multiple accounts associated with the player in question, particularly focusing on whether these accounts have been actively utilized recently. While I understand that each player is permitted to maintain only one account, it is important to consider situations where a player may have inadvertently created an additional account without awareness of their existing one, especially if the original account has remained inactive for a significant period. Furthermore, if the player has not availed themselves of any bonuses or if the previous account did not have any restrictions related to self-exclusion or responsible gaming, the mere existence of multiple or duplicate accounts should not be grounds for the confiscation of winnings. This is because it does not confer any unfair advantage to the player and does not align with the principles of fairness and safety that are expected from a reputable establishment like Platincasino. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response regarding the evidence of the accounts in question to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Thank you very much for your understanding Michal!


I still have emails where they confirmed that they closed my old account at my own request, this was then 4 years ago under their old license (Malta)


If this had to do with their refusal to pay out the winnings, I think it's very strange that my ID card and proof of address were approved during registration, then they should have refused right away, you think.


So I have never broken any rules that caused them to close the account. I have never had other accounts.


https://www.platincasino.com/support/terms-and-conditions


Here it says, among other things, under point 3 that "Any bonuses are not available to players from Sweden, including participation in any kind of promotional programs, receiving VIP rewards, as well as exchange of comp points."


I mention this information because I have nothing to hide and I know I have not broken any rules, there must be a reason why this casino is up to around 200 complaints now.


Here is the email when I asked them to close the account earlier (Johannes.m*****@hotmail.com) also a confirmation that it has been done.

Hi,


You just also yourself mentioned that you have 2 accounts and it is forbidden, however that was not the main isssue.


We found that your account is linked to chargebacks on another brand within the SoftSwiss platform.

Chargeback is a serious violation of terms and conditions across all brands in our network.


As a result, once the connection to your account at Platincasino was confirmed and verified, we proceeded with the following actions:


Winnings Cancellation: As per our terms and conditions, accounts associated with fraudulent activity are not eligible for winnings. Therefore, your winnings have been voided.


Deposit Refund: To ensure fairness, all your deposits have been refunded back to you.




Thank you for your understanding.

Have only made refunds/chargebacks on transactions before that had nothing to do with the casino itself and where wrong MCC codes were deliberately used where the transactions went to pages that claimed they only sell video games or books etc.

In some cases, payments have gone through stores in Africa to a site that claims they only sell computer games, when the casino was in Malta, etc.


Most of them have refunded themselves when I pointed this out.


Have never made a refund where the transactions match the casino.


I don't think it's ok that some casinos use other stores that seem to launder money through them and I stand by that, it doesn't feel very legal either, especially not after having read for hours myself about the conditions for Mastercard and Visa.


And that people who have blocked themselves from playing can still deposit money because it looks like you bought other things through the transactions, which is not true.


With kind regards

Thank you for sharing your perspective and providing additional details regarding your past chargeback activity. While we understand your concerns regarding the use of MCC codes and transaction processes, it’s important to address the specific circumstances leading to the actions taken on your account.


Cross-Brand Policy Enforcement: As part of the SoftSwiss network, all partner brands adhere to a shared anti-fraud policy. Any chargeback activity linked to a player, even if conducted on a different platform within the network, is considered a breach of terms across all associated brands, including Platincasino.


Irrespective of Transaction Details: While you mentioned your chargebacks targeted transactions you deemed inappropriate or unrelated to casinos, these actions still result in financial disputes that affect the merchant's systems. This creates risks and liabilities for all operators within the same network.


Winnings and Deposits: Given the verified connection between your chargeback activity and your account, the decision to cancel winnings and refund deposits aligns with our strict adherence to fair gaming policies and fraud prevention measures.


We respect your views regarding MCC codes and the broader implications of transaction handling. If you have concerns about industry-wide practices, we encourage you to report them to the appropriate regulatory or payment authorities for further review. However, as a licensed operator, we are bound by our terms and conditions, which protect both our players and the integrity of our platform.




Best regards,

Thank you all for your responses.


Dear Platincasino,

I fully understand that if a player has engaged in chargebacks even in other casinos within your group this is a serious breach of the terms and conditions. To my knowledge almost all online casinos have such rules in place, however, I have not noticed in your previous responses a confirmation if any of the chargebacks were really done in regards to any of your casinos. Could you please confirm this along with any evidence?

The player mentioned they have indeed made chargebacks, but as they mentioned "that had nothing to do with the casino itself and where wrong MCC codes were deliberately used where the transactions went to pages that claimed they only sell video games or books etc."

If this is indeed the case, it seems that it should not adversely affect the situation in your casino. I look forward to your response.

Hi Michal and thanks for the quick reply.


No refunds have been made at platinum casino, either under the old account I played with 4 years ago or this new one.


The old account, I did direct deposits with the bank if I remember correctly and never used a credit card.


In any case, no refunds have been made by Platincasino.

Hi Team,


Your answer seems a bit strange to me as we clearly stated that the chargeback was done in one of OUR Casinos under the Softswiss Brand and the player clearly confirmed it as much as he confirmed before his two accounts.


You are asking us for proofs which were already given by the player himself.


It does not matter if it is platincasino but it was one of our brands. Furthermore which evidence would you like if he has already confirmed it himself ?


It seems to that you are trying to make us refund the player after he has himself confirmed his breach twice - double account plus chargeback on other brand.


We will not come to any solution here with such communication and you can close this case as "unresolved" if you find it fair.


Thanks,

You are welcome to mention which Casino you are referring to and explain what kind of relationship you have with Softswiss, I mean you are not listed as collaboration partners??


Have contacted Softswiss and await reply.


Understood that this was the answer you would get, all to avoid paying profits to people.


Instead of taking care of it nicely, you turn everything against me, it would have been easier to pay out the winnings and then just shut me down.


Although this case will be marked as "unsolved", I will do whatever it takes to get my winnings out and contact all authorities and media necessary if necessary to go that far.

Hi Johannes,


Please see below :


"Copyright © 2024 platincasino.com is owned and operated by Latiform B.V. that is incorporated under the laws of Curacao with company registration number 160604 and having its registered address at Scharlooweg 39, Willemstad, Curaçao. This website is licensed and authorized by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (license no.OGL/2024/163/0190)"


Softswiss now called Latiform - so feel free to contact latiform obviously .You had charge backs on a casino under Latiform.


We would have paid out but kindly see your own messages where you justify your chargebacks.


Chargebacks are a fraudulent acitivity , no matter if you decide why you did it . If you believed that you had the right due to "moral questions" as you advise, you could have informed the authorities and not decide to do chargebacks on your own.


Anyway only because i used the wrong name instead of the new name latiform , i added your winnings back to your account , kindly log in and pay out!


Thanks,

I have tried to check which casinos are part of the same group as you, none of them on the Softswiss website are ones I recognize or think I have played at before.


When I try to find information about Latiform BV, platincasino is the only casino I can find, and it seems impossible to even find an email there.


Therefore, it would have been easier if you could specify it a little better.

Dear Platincasino Team,

I'm sorry you feel that way, but It appears that my previous response may not have received your full attention. I will try to clarify our current stance in this situation.

Your answer seems a bit strange to me as we clearly stated that the chargeback was done in one of OUR Casinos under the Softswiss Brand and the player clearly confirmed it as much as he confirmed before his two accounts.

You have yet to specify the casino where the chargeback occurred. Can you please clarify this?

And yes, the player did confirm that they previously held an account with Platincasino; however, it has been established that this account was closed four years ago.

file

If you did not close the previous account due to any rule violations and there were no restrictions pertaining to self-exclusion or responsible gaming, then the existence of this account alone should not justify the confiscation of the winnings. Were the chargebacks done on this account?


You are asking us for proofs which were already given by the player himself.

It does not matter if it is platincasino but it was one of our brands. Furthermore which evidence would you like if he has already confirmed it himself ?

I'm not sure if I have not communicated my previous response clearly, but I want to confirm that I am in agreement with you on this matter. I repeat again, if a player has engaged in chargebacks even in other casinos within the same group this is a serious breach of the terms and conditions. However, as the player has mentioned: "that had nothing to do with the casino itself and where wrong MCC codes were deliberately used where the transactions went to pages that claimed they only sell video games or books etc."

So I kindly ask you for any evidence (notice from the bank or from the payment provider, etc.) about the chargeback and in which casino this was done.


We will not come to any solution here with such communication and you can close this case as "unresolved" if you find it fair.

I want to emphasize that it is not our goal to leave this complaint unresolved. Our primary aim is to seek a resolution that is satisfactory to all parties involved whenever possible.

In our commitment to fostering a safe and equitable gaming environment for both players and casinos, we expect casinos to provide adequate supporting evidence for significant actions, such as the voiding of a player's winnings. It is of course every player's sole responsibility to follow the casino rules, and if any breaches are proven, we respectfully reject the player's complaint, however, just the statement that the player made chargebacks on its own is not a proof. I trust this explanation has provided clarity on the matter.

Please forward me any supporting evidence for your actions at michal.k@casino.guru

Hello Platinum Casino! Just got the email.

So there shouldn't be any problems, so if you could help me with the outlet, that would be great.


All I can choose from when withdrawing is a bank.
