Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Italy is dissatisfied with the withdrawal process. The player was contacted by the casino and told that their winnings had been canceled as they had registered from a restricted country. The country wasn't listed as restricted and the player was able to register, deposit and play without issue. The casino would not reconsider its position and we found this to be against our fair gambling codex, so the complaint was closed as 'unresolved'. The casino requested that the complaint be reopened as the matter had since been resolved, but as we were unable to confirm this with the player the complaint was eventually rejected.

Withdrawal of the 22nd of this month requested via bitcoin (same method used for all seven deposits made to date) pending for 8 (eight) days despite it being clearly written in their T & Cs that withdrawals below 1,481 AUD are processed instantly . No notification occurred via email at the time of the withdrawal request. KYC process occurred regularly and approved. Quite rude and inadequate assistance.

Dear Nemokid,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. It’s quite usual for withdrawal, to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. That’s why we advise players to be patient and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before they submit a complaint. If you don’t receive your winnings by then, please, let us know and we will try to help you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Kristina

Dear Cristina,

It does not seem normal to me to wait 14 days to withdraw winnings when in the terms and conditions we read that withdrawals usually take place instantly or at most in 2/3 days except in rare cases where it can even exceed 14 days of waiting ... a casino with an excellent reputation such as Power Casino should liquidate its players in times not so long ...

We are on the thirteenth day of waiting, I have just contacted the online assistance to get news regarding my withdrawal on March 22nd. The same always replies to me like a broken record or by sending me the usual written concerning their maximum payment terms which according to them do not exceed 14 days of waiting ... at this point I doubt that they will be respected. Can you intervene in advance given their not very honest and transparent attitude? Thank you.

This is the first withdrawal. KYC carried out successfully on March 22, the assistance was repeatedly unsuccessful, reiterating that the withdrawal will be processed at the latest in 14 days, we are on the fourteenth day of waiting and the withdrawal is always pending, the waiting standards are instantaneous or at most 2 / 3 days for withdrawals below 1,000.00 EUR or its equivalent and a maximum of 14 days for withdrawals of a higher amount !! There have been no infractions of their T & Cs (max bet etc ...). It seems obvious to me given their attitude that they do not want to pay the winnings obtained lawfully. I wonder how a casino with so many stars and a very good reputation can behave like this with its customers!

Hi Adam,

I received this email within the day to which I replied with a legal warning that I am attaching. The casino declares that residents of Italy cannot play on their platform when the contrary is clearly stated in their T&C:

https://helpdesk.powercasino.bet/en/support/solutions/articles/43000587362-which-counties-are-accepted-

I ordered the payment of what was owed to me in response to the stranger who wrote me in the name of customer support stating this falsehood.

I kindly ask the staff to intervene so that the casino honors the winnings regularly achieved by myself otherwise I will be forced to take legal action against this nefarious casino.

Hi Adam.

The casino in question after the correct verification of my identity and all the deposits regularly collected, as I assumed given the attitude held up to now, does not want to pay me the winnings regularly obtained on March 22, 2022 but simply return the money deposited by declaring as not it is possible to work with customers resident in Italy (first time in 20 years that I have heard such a thing) or that Italian players cannot play on their platform , a restriction not present in their terms and conditions as better illustrated below :

"Hello Mr. IM,

We thank you very much for your patience but after the opinion of our law firm we are forced, to comply with the regulations in force, to cancel your win of 3351.54 AUD and return the total deposited by you of 609.89 AUD in Bitcoin (same method from lei used for the deposit). This is because you are a resident of a country with which we do not work. We therefore kindly ask you to send us your Bitcoin wallet in order to

send 609.89 AUD.


Best regards

Powercasino.bet "


In response to this statement, complete with the opinion of their law firm, I ordered the same-day payment of the amount due to me as per the withdrawal requests made on March 22, still pending today, as as stated on their website:

https://helpdesk.powercasino.bet/en/support/solutions/articles/43000587362-which-counties-are-accepted-


Which countries are accepted?

Registration is available for players from any country, except: USA, UK, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Aruba, St. Maarten, Australia, Statia, Slovakia, Iran, North Korea, Singapore, Saba and Curaçao .


and not only:

Residents in Italy are accepted by the casino as confirmed by the same KYC verification which took place regularly on their platform on March 22, 2022.

Therefore, I am waiting for the payment due to me otherwise I will be forced to have the Curacao Government intervene directly in the person of the current Minister of Plurimandatario Begina, also reporting this offense to the relevant Chamber of Commerce.

I COMMUNICATE THAT MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN ILLICITLY BLOCKED AND THAT THE CASINO IS OBSTANTED TO NOT WANT TO PAY THE REGULAR WIN IN THEIR PLATFORM, KEEPING MY MONEY IN A SCAM WAY. I CONSIDER THIS FACT VERY SERIOUS, I REMEMBER THAT THE SAME IS PUNISHABLE UNDER THE LAW AS IT IS UNDUE APPROPRIATION. THEREFORE I ASK FOR ASSISTANCE SO THAT THE CASINO TAKES A CORRECT AND APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AND IMMEDIATELY PROVIDES THE PAYMENT OF THE AMOUNT DUE TO ME.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE WHO WRITE ARE REALLY A MIND!


I READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL DATA ON THE ITALIAN SITE:

WEBSITE POWERCASINO.BET/IT OPERATED BY UBERALTA NV NR. 147113 - ABRAHAM DE VEERSTRAAD 9, CURACAO. LINCENSED BY GAMING SERVICES PROVIDER NV (MASTER LICENSE # 365 / JAZ):

"Disputes and Complaints about Master License iussed by Government of Curacao:

Unfortunately, as is the case with all Curacao master license holders, disputes and complaints is where players can find themselves in trouble if they have problems with a casino / operator, and Gaming Curacao doesn't specify whether or not they actually take player complaints directly or not.

There are contact details on their main webpage, so if players experience any problems with a license holder, it's definitely worth getting in touch, but there are certainly no guarantees that Gaming Curacao will respond, or take action against rogue operators. "

REMOTE GAMING LICENSE BY GOVERNMENT OF CURACAO NR. GLH-OCCHKTW0706212018

PAYMENTS MADE BY KAYALTA LTD NR. HE 387690 - AVLONOS 1, 1075, NICOSIA (CYPRUS)

So Adam, who should I contact in case the casino does not want to honor the debt, directly to the Minister of Justice of Curacao Shalten Hato asking for an injunction, or directly to the Minister Plenipotentiary Carlson Manuel or to the Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas?

Hello Nemokid,


Please forgive my delayed response, and thank you for the very detailed update. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing.


Of course, if you have been allowed to register, deposit, claim a bonus, and play you should of course be entitled to your winnings. There is nothing in the terms to state that players from Italy are restricted from playing or registering, and residents of Italy are also listed as one of the specific countries that are eligible to claim the No Deposit Welcome gift.


Please allow me to try to reach the casino for a response. In the meantime, I would recommend attempting to also contact Gaming-Curacao here: info@gaming-curacao.com.


Dear Power Casino,


It is acceptable that the casino may have changed how and where they operate, but the terms should be updated to reflect this. The player, in this case, has registered and even had their account verified (including, I believe, proof of address), so in our opinion, it is only fair they should be paid their winnings even if the account is to be closed thereafter.

Hi Adam,

the address was clearly verified together with my new CIE otherwise I would not have been able to withdraw. For the rest, the facts speak for themselves. They even have a website dedicated to Italy (powercasino.bet/it)! From the very beginning I had an inkling that this would be the case or that the casino would try not to pay the winnings. I also sent this complaint to the email address indicated to me and pc to you too, hoping not to have the Prime Minister of Curacao and the Minister Plenipotentiary intervene directly with the relative consequences of the case or the request for suspension of the government license of this nefarious casino to continue to operate remotely in such a fraudulent way.

Hi Adam,

I just sent you the documentation related to Gaming Curacao. The casino will 99% not respond as it is illicitly attempting to return my deposits to me only. I hope you are able to convince the casino manager to pay me immediately without waiting any longer, otherwise things will get complicated for him because I have no intention of giving up what is owed to me. On principle, I can't stand those who take advantage of others in this way, by carrying out incorrect and anti-ethical behavior. It's not part of my way of being.

Good evening,


We are sorry for your dissatisfaction but unfortunately we are not authorized

to send her his winnings since, as explained in the first e-mail that

we have forwarded them, we are not authorized to work on the Italian territory.

Having passed the KYC procedure does not justify anything:

the KYC procedure simply verifies documents and actual identity

of the person who is registering at our casino. Then we check

manually the country of residence and if it is not one of those authorized

we are forced to block the account.

You started the KYC verification procedure only after winning,

if you started it before depositing, or immediately after you did,

we would still have had to close your account and return any

funds deposited.

We are therefore waiting for a Bitcoin address to be able to send you the entire sum from you

initially filed as soon as possible.


Best regards

Dear Support,

even if it were true that you do not accept Italian players (this is not true as has already been amply demonstrated), why then allow Italian IPs to be able to register at your site without implementing any preventive blocking as happens for all respected casinos, site that among other things is absurdly dedicated to the same players with a lot of final suffix it (https // powercasino.bet / it) !!!! ?? This means cheating the same players by making them play and deposit them and then block their account following important winnings obtained regularly as in this case. Does yours seem a credible justification and a correct and honest behavior !? ONE WORD: SHAME! I also add that you do not work on the Italian territory but remotely so the collection of money takes place electronically and the payments made by the customer via cryptocurrency arrive on your wallets open in the Antilles, this fact, however, you miserable casino should not be of any concern as it is responsibility of the player not to violate the regulations of his country of residence and the undersigned has not violated anything as these payments are 100% legitimate and I can choose where to play online freely! The same applies to payments from outside Italy.

In addition, you even have a web address dedicated exclusively to Italian players with a flag at the top right inside the icon, so they are not only allowed to play on your site but are even eligible to receive the no deposit bonus (bonus among others things never used by the writer):

https://powercasino.bet/it

file

In your terms and conditions it is clearly stated that Italian players are accepted as they are not included in countries not authorized to play on your platform, in fact it is stated that all countries are allowed to play except the countries better listed below including the Italy is not present :

file

On the other hand, if this were not the case, the site would have been inaccessible to me and I would not have been able to register and deposit until today. Therefore your statements simply make me smile as well as being very serious as you are illegally withholding my money or you are punishable by the Law for embezzlement of money not yours.

THEREFORE INTIMATE YOU TO PAY THE REGULAR WINNING IMMEDIATELY OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE TO DO NOT ONLY WITH MY LEGAL BUT ALSO DIRECTLY WITH THE PRIME MINISTERS OF YOUR COUNTRY AS I DO NOT STOP HERE AND START AN INTERNATIONAL REQUEST TO ASK FOR THE SUSPENSION OF YOUR COUNTRY OF YOUR GOVERNMENT LICENSE IN ADDITION TO DAMAGES CAUSED BY UNDUE APPROPRIATION AND ATTEMPT TO CLEAR REACH DESPITE YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRESENT ON THE WEBSITE.

Dear Support,

you declare that you are not authorized to work on the Italian territory but allow Italians to be able to register at https://powercasino.bet/it , deposit and even verify their identity (KYC), subsequently in case of a possible important win , obtained regularly by the customer as in the present case, you decide unilaterally and against your own terms and conditions published on the site not to pay the winnings on a phantasmagoric non-existent restriction. How would you judge your conduct? I am waiting for the payment due otherwise I will contact the Prime Minister of Curacao G. Pisase and the Minister Plenipotentiary M. Carlson directly.

Dear Power Casino,


We are very much of the opinion that the player should indeed be paid their winnings in this case.

It is standard for casinos to restrict some countries from registering and playing, but if that knowledge is not made available to a player, how are they to know they are breaking any rules?


If Italy is a country you are not authorized to operate in, then you should make that fact known by including Italy in the list of restricted countries.

The player has not broken any rules (at least not any that have been made available to them), and therefore it is unfair to penalize them in this instance.

I warn the casino in question that in the event of non-payment I will be forced to implement all possible procedures in order to enforce the terms and conditions of the online gaming contract stipulated with them where it is clear that Italian players are allowed to play , claim the no deposit bonus and redeem any winnings you have earned. Therefore, I urge him to immediately make the payment of 3,351.54 AUD via cryptocurrency in order not to incur judicial measures. I remind you that following my possible complaint to the online Police Commissioner (www.commissariatodips.it/segnalazioni/index.html) the appropriate checks will be carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office in order to request the relevant service provider to obscure / close the fraudulent site in question with an urgent issue of international letters rogatory.

The winnings were made regularly on their slots. I am also awaiting a response from Gaming Curacao ... it is clear that the casino is trying to scam me and if it does not respect its own terms and conditions I will be forced to file a misappropriation report and contact the Online Gaming Commission of Curacao as well as the local Minister of Justice.

Hello Nemokid,


It does not appear that the casino is willing to reconsider its position, and so the complaint will be closed as 'unresolved' upon expiry of the timer and have a negative effect on the rating of the casino.


I believe that the website you have supplied above (https://www.gamingcontrolcuracao.org) pertains only to land-based casinos. Have you received any response from the licensing authority, Gaming Curacao, to date?

IT APPEARS THAT TODAY, POWERCASINO, MANAGED BY UBERALTA NV, IS REGULARLY OPERATING IN ITALY AND EVEN IN EUROPE UNDER THE GLH-OCCHKTW0706212018 GOVERNMENT SUB-LICENSE OF THE MASTER LICENSE # 365 / JAZ ISSUED TO THE GAMING SERVICES PROVIDER OF NV CAMICENZA WITH THE REGISTERED CURRENT CAMICERA LICENSE NO. 77202 , therefore every statement reported by the Support to date turns out to be false and specious:

"The website powercasino.bet and powersport.bet is operated by Uberalta NV, a company registered and established under the laws of Curaçao. Uberalta NV, is licensed and regulated by Gaming Services Provider NV (Master License # 365 / Jaz).

Kayalta Ltd is a subsidiary of Uberalta NV, acting as an Agent on behalf of Uberalta NV, registered in Cyprus with registered address Avlonos 1, 1075, Nicosia, Cyprus, and registration number HE 387690.

Therefore, I again invite KAYALTA LTD (its agent) to immediately make the payment of the sum of 3,351.54 AUD via cryptocurrency to the address:

Dear Nemokid,


As it seems the casino is unwilling to reconsider its position and we have received no further response, this complaint will be closed as 'unresolved'.

I am afraid that as you have already contacted the relevant licensing authority of the casino, there is nobody left to turn to.


As previously stated we believe that you should be paid in full. We completely disagree with the casino's decision and that of Gaming Curacao.

The casino may have updated its terms now, but at the time you registered Italy was not listed as restricted.

Even in the case that it was, you should not have been allowed to register, deposit, play, and verify your account from a restricted country, as per our fair gambling codex (https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#restricted-countries).


I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach.


I am truly sorry that I could not have been of more help in this case.


Kind regards,


Adam
