Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Sweden had faced a delay in his withdrawal from Rocketpot Casino. His account, which had been active for three weeks and had successfully completed several withdrawals, was suddenly blocked. The remaining withdrawals had been confiscated due to the casino's suspicion of value betting practices. The player had denied any wrongdoing, insisting he had merely been lucky. The casino had offered to return the player's initial deposits totaling around $273 as a compromise. The player had accepted this offer, and the casino had processed the refund. The player had confirmed receipt of the refund, and the complaint had been marked as resolved.

Dear Peter,


We hope this message finds you well.

We regret to inform you that after careful review of your account activity, we have discovered patterns consistent with value gaming practices.

By accessing our website and creating an account, you agreed to be bound by our general terms and conditions (Terms). We draw your attention to clause 13 of the T&Cs, which states that "Rocketpot reserves the right to retain deposits if there is reasonable suspicion of manipulation of the system". This is part of our fraud and abuse prevention policy.

You will further note that our General Terms and Conditions allow us to reserve the right to void any bets if you, or any person or persons associated with you directly or indirectly influence the outcome of an event, in order to obtain an illegal advantage (in accordance with with clause) 22.1.2). We have determined that your actions fall within this framework.

As you have engaged in fraudulent activities and violated our terms and conditions, we exercise our right to permanently block your account and confiscate your withdrawals and balance

After reviewing your account, we have noted that you have deposited a total of $273.62 and withdrawn $2,152.03. According to our policy, we will refund your account balance, minus any withdrawal fees incurred.

How to calculate your refund:

Account balance: $273.62

Less withdrawal fees: $2,152.03

Refund amount: $0 (because withdrawal amount exceeds your account balance)




Please note that this decision is final and your account will remain closed. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this decision,





please help me they are just tricking me. I still have the whole chat.




Sincerely


Peter B********

Dear peter79blomkvist,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Could you please advise how long ago you registered your account and if you’ve completed the account verification successfully?
  • Which games you’ve been playing (live casino games, slots, or sports betting)?
  • Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus, please?

If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru

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

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi thanks for reply and maybe help, have emailed you the chat.


I made the account about 3 weeks ago and it was to be verified with all the documents that you will see in the email, but they blocked me before from the page and then sent the email 6 days later that I broke the rules.


The games I played are livebet sports, basketball over then some slots and live casino blackjack.


it is not bonus money, they have made 5 withdrawals before they block me. I backed withdrawals that took time to play more and have been incredibly lucky and won.


Sincerely

Hello peter79blomkvist,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and just so you know, the cooperation in solving player complaints with Rocketpot Casino was far from ideal in the past, and quite a few end up as unresolved, so I don't want you to have high hopes. I will still contact the casino to shed more light on this matter, and hopefully we will find a solution.

We would like to invite Rocketpot Casino to join the conversation.


Dear Rocketpot Casino,

Could you please furnish us with more details on why were the player's winnings confiscated? If the information can't be shared publicly please forward them including evidence of any terms breaches to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Hi Peter


based on our records that the casino games played were from funds which you received through value bets. 


in an effort to find compromise, Taking into account that you have already withdrawn $2000, we would be happy to return your total initial deposits of around $273 which was not offered before. 


I hope you find this satisfactory

Dear peter79blomkvist,

By a quick google search, I could find this:

"Much like arbitrage betting, value betting is a popular betting strategy. Value betting is a gambling system that involves searching for odds that give you an edge over a particular bookie and betting on them."As you can understand, the casino team later recognized this as a violation of the rules that were previously communicated to you:

 We draw your attention to clause 13 of the T&Cs, which states that "Rocketpot reserves the right to retain deposits if there is reasonable suspicion of manipulation of the system". This is part of our fraud and abuse prevention policy.
You will further note that our General Terms and Conditions allow us to reserve the right to void any bets if you, or any person or persons associated with you directly or indirectly influence the outcome of an event, in order to obtain an illegal advantage (in accordance with with clause) 22.1.2). We have determined that your actions fall within this framework.

While I can understand that certain sports betting sites may permit such strategies, many casinos prohibit them as they provide players with an unfair advantage.

However, as your complaint pertains to sports betting, regrettably, we currently do not have a division dedicated to handling sports betting matters. If you were unaware, please note that our Casino Guru complaint forum exclusively addresses complaints related to online casinos and online casino games. While we have received some information from the casino, we are not able to offer accurate advice as our expertise lies primarily within the realm of online casino operations. I can provide you with websites that might provide further assistance if you feel you want to take your complaint further, but unfortunately, our potential help is close to zero and I would be forced to reject your complaint.

Anyway, under the current circumstances, the return of your initial deposit seems like a fair offer to settle the situation what do you think?

Dear peter79blomkvist,

I'm sorry, our translation software is not so great with the Swedish language :) Can you please confirm in a simple sentence if you accept the return of your deposit as a resolution of the situation?

If so, I would kindly ask the casino team to process the refund for you.
