Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Greece experienced a technical issue in a game where a €50 bet was stuck and did not result in a prize. Live chat initially acknowledged the issue but did not return the money or provide a new attempt as promised. The live agents eventually stopped responding to her. The Complaints Team confirmed that a technical error had occurred and contacted the casino, which subsequently credited the €50 back to the player's balance. The issue was then considered resolved.

Hello. I was playing in the cash crab and I made a 50 euro attempt. (bet id: 222.70737421) And even though I grabbed the ball it was stuck in the claw and never ell into the hole so I can receive my prize! The live chat understood that it was a technical issue obviously and told me they would fix it. Nevertheless they did not give me my money back and they said they would give me another attempt which they also did not give. Then the live agents would just start closing the chat without telling me anything and I could not communicate with them any more! I can provide you a screenshot of the ball being stuck in the claw even though they saw it and admitted the mistake... the dispute was because they would give me an attempt and not my money. And even if I accepted the attempt.. Its not working!!!

Dear themthem,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Could you please forward any relevant communication along with your game history in Excel format to nikolas.b@casino.guru? Please advise the exact time of the incident.

Meanwhile, please check our article explaining "How slot machines are programmed" https://casino.guru/how-slot-machines-work-math#how-are-slot-machines-programmed and maybe it’ll help to understand how servers communicate with players and what issues might occur on the way.

 

Please understand, that without any supporting evidence we can’t proceed further with this case as it would be close to impossible to confront the casino.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Good evening, I sent you 3 photos. One of them is the ball that is stuck in the machine and the other 2 are from my conversation where the representative tells me that he has given me an attempt yet this attempt is nowhere to be seen. The incident happened yesterday evening 4am-5am Greek time.

Dear themthem,

Unfortunately, such screenshots does not serve as relevant evidence. Would it be possible to forward your betting history from the time the issue occurred?

Of course I can send you betting history. However, you can simply invite the casino into the chat to explain that it was indeed a technical error, because in live chat they proved it to be their fault! So they can confirm it for you over here. I sent you the screenshot detailing the attempt that the ball stuck.

Dear themthem,

Based on the betting history, no error occurred and the betting history seems fine. Is there any evidence that the casino confirmed the error to you?

Please understand that based on the screenshot that the game got stuck we can do nothing as such errors may occur due multiple factors like game provider issues, connection i.e.

I sent you a screenshot that they accepted and understood that they were wrong. He was in the live chat. The problem is that they tell me that they gave me a previous attempt when they didn't. In other words, they know that we are entitled to it, otherwise they wouldn't have told me in the live chat. If you ask them the same thing, they will tell you, I just can't get along with them anymore. Thanks

Dear themthem,

Can you please clarify from which e-mail address did you forward it as I could not locate any e-mail from you regarding the communication with the casino.

I sent you again the email. It has a screenshot of the live vhat where they tell me they add me a new attempt for the game (since the claw machine was broken). Check it please, this proves that they understand their mistake, I just cannot see the attempt the live agent tells me he gave me.

Dear themthem,

To summarize - your bet got stuck and the 50€ got deducted for the bet and the casino promised to give you an additional spin.

Just to be sure - didn't you get your 50€ back for the bet? What would be the value of the bet given by the casino?

Yes, yes. You put it very well. My bet stuck and the 50 euros were deducted from my account. Then on live chat they said they would give me another 50 euro spin which they never did!

No I didn't get my 50 euros back, nor any spin worth 50 euros. The value of the bet according to the casino was 50 euros. Please tell me anything else you want to know.
