Good morning, I just found out that they disabled my account and they don't want to pay me.

They accuse me of gambling addiction and I don't know why, since I didn't ask for a program or anything.

In the first instance they took away the way to deposit money, through astropay, and today that I want to ask when my money will be withdrawn, they disable my account again.

I request the immediate recovery of the account and my money.

Hello alexisolivari8,

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

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Have you been excluded in any other online casino for gambling addiction? How much money do you have left on the casino account and how much did you deposit there in total? Did you receive any amount of money back from the casino since your account is closed?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hello alexisolivari8,

Would it be possible to forward your deposit and betting history (as you can't log into your account anymore the casino might forward it to you) as if they accused you of money laundering it would be provable with the history.

If you can please send it to nikolas.b@casino.guru.

The account TQCA2yE2FZcyB5zfQfuM6HLqqnNF1JUF6V is one of mine. But on the other hand I would like to know what the problem would be because it is not saying it.

I don't just want my money. I want to know why they are accusing me of gambling addiction, since it is something delicate but rather discriminatory.

On the other hand, I would like to know what movement they say is money laundering. I always deposit money in the same way, AstroPay and cryptocurrency to be able to withdraw.

Please let me know if you make the payment. I already confirmed that it is my trx address and I would also like to know what the error in my procedure is.

I deposit money through astropay, but it won't let me withdraw money through astropay.

Dear alexisolivari8,


Thank you for providing proof of wallet ownership. Within 10 business days the payment of the indicated amount will be made for you. As soon as the payment is made we will notify you.


We would like to remind you that during the verification of your account by the Risk Department of the casino, it was found that you used money laundering methods by depositing from AstroPay and withdrawing to crypto wallet and wagering pattern for wagering deposits, which is a serious violation of AML policy.

For this reason, your account has been closed without the right to reopen. That is why you see the above notice when you try to log in under your account.

This decision is final and will not be reviewed.


Best regards.

I understand what you're saying, but you don't have AstroPay to make withdrawals. So why leave AstroPay to make deposits?

I deposit money through AstroPay and how do I get it out? Chat support told me to use another method.

and now it turns out that it is money laundering, which is wrong, since only personal accounts and funds are used. They were used since the account was created

I received the payment correctly.

Could you answer me what I ask?

Because they allow you to make deposits by astropay, and then they don't allow you to extract through that means.

Why did they suggest I use other payment methods to be able to extract and now they block me.

Dear alexisolivari8,


Withdrawals to prepaid cards are not possible. Payment methods can be different for both deposits and withdrawals, depending on the market situation and region.

You have used your crypto wallet exclusively for withdrawal, although you have repeatedly received payments of winnings on it.

Currently, all obligations to you have been fulfilled and the winnings have been successfully transferred to your crypto wallet.

The decision regarding your account is final and is not subject to review. You are not allowed to play in our casino and your account cannot be opened.


Best regards.

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

Many thanks for everything. But the inconsistency of letting money enter through a method and not allowing the withdrawal through it continues. Anyway we will let casino guru analyze it.

I don't think I did anything out of order and I made legitimate operations from my accounts and with your support.

Hello alexisolivari8,

I understand that you would like some answers however there isn't any online casino which would guarantee you to withdraw with the same payment method as you deposited with. It is completely up to the payment provider, country of residence of the player and up to the agreement between the payment provider and the casino. You always have to follow the withdrawal methods if the casino advises one as it just prolongs the withdrawal process for no reason.

Regarding your account - unless you have any remaining balance on it, the casino has the right to close it without any reason given and unfortunately nobody is able to do anything against it as it is clearly stated in their terms (applies to almost every single online casino).

As your remaining balance has been paid out, and account closed, is there anything else we could assist you with?
