RESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Germany encountered issues with depositing money to the casino, having made four deposits on November 3rd, but only two transactions had completed while two remained pending. The player felt frustrated and misled by the casino. The Complaints Team facilitated communication between the player and the casino, leading to the casino acknowledging that the player had not received the €20 deposit. As a gesture of goodwill, the casino credited the player's account with the amount, resolving the issue satisfactorily. The complaint was marked as 'resolved' in the system.

On November 3rd, I deposited money four times and the money was immediately debited from my account. To this day, I have only received two transactions. Two are still pending. I'm being given the runaround; it's unbelievable what's happening here. This will be the last time I visit this casino.

Hello, I was not told how to contact the payment processor and was not informed about it. I tried to contact the casino several times a day but they didn't help me, they just put me off. I will pass on the relevant information.


Thank you for your support.

Dear Paulalex,

What payment method did you use for the deposits?

If your deposit has never been credited to your casino account, the only thing I would recommend is contacting your payment provider. They need to investigate, but bear in mind, that it’s a complicated process that takes one month approximately. In these cases, the casino usually has its hands tied.

I paid immediately via Klarna, which was done via Mirata Services. OK, then I'll contact them.

Hello,

I am hereby sending you the attachments again. As I said, I have no chance of contacting the payment processor. The processor is Mirata. The money was taken from my account. I cannot reach anyone there.

Hello Dominika,


I cannot contact my payment provider because the money was debited directly from my account via Mirata. This is clear from my screenshots. I have searched the internet several times and have not gotten anywhere. I want my money because I am entitled to it. Unfortunately, I did not pay via Klarna because that would be easier to resolve. What should I do?

Dear Paulalex, 

could you provide an overview of the communication that took place with the payment provider? Were you able to address your concerns effectively? What was their response to your issue?

Public
Public
Translation

The problem with the communications provider is that it is not reachable at all, i.e. the normal ways of contacting them by telephone are not possible and neither are they possible by email.

Hello Paulalex,

We would like to update you that due to Katarina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Katarina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Katarina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Dear Paulalex,

Have you used Mirata previously?

Is this Mirata provider attached to your Volksbank account?

No, I used it for the first time. It is not linked to Volksbank, it was done via instant transfer.

Katarina, I don't quite understand. I instructed Sportuna to pay and from there I was supposed to pay money via instant transfer. What happened was that money was taken from my account. As I said, it was via instant transfer.

Dear Paulalex,

Dear Sportuna Casino, 

thank you for your message.

Dear Paulalex, 

I believe casino is referring to a bank statement in PDF, from your financial institution. The screenshots provided may not be a sufficient evidence for them. Will you be able to provide a statement from Klarna?

Hello Katarina, unfortunately I can't find this at Klarna because I did this via instant transfer on the homepage and was redirected directly to the Volksbank page and then transferred 10€ several times as can be seen on my statements.
