UNRESOLVED

Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Italy had their account suspended after two months of play. After submitting numerous verifying documents, they withdrew part of their winnings, but the account was then permanently blocked for a claimed violation of terms and conditions. We attempted to contact the casino multiple times for more information but received no response. Due to the casino's lack of cooperation, the complaint was marked as unresolved. The player was advised to continue pursuing the matter with the Italian Gaming Authority (ADM).

I received a suspension of my gaming account after two months of playing on starvegas, primarily in the casino section. Subsequently, I had to provide bank statements, credit card screenshots, and numerous selfies to pass their checks. I then withdrew part of my winnings but a month later, or three days ago, I received this communication:


DEAR CUSTOMER,

Dear danielabet324,

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. 

  • Have you received any confirmation regarding successful verification?
  • Do I understand correctly that €5,000 (dispute value) is being held in your casino account?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?

Additionally, if there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

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

Best regards,

Kristina

Hello danielabet324,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. Upon reviewing your case, it's worth noting that StarVegas Casino IT hasn't been particularly cooperative in resolving player complaints with us, so achieving a favorable resolution to your complaint may be uncertain. Nevertheless, I will still reach out to the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite StarVegas Casino IT to join the conversation.


Dear StarVegas Casino IT,

Can you please provide more information regarding the player's suspended account?

Dear danielabet324,

While we hold a reputable "authority" status in the gaming industry and collaborate with numerous casinos to resolve player issues, regrettably, not all casinos are willing or able to cooperate with us in resolving complaints. I will make an effort to obtain a response from the casino team, but based on my previous experiences with StarVegas Casino the likelihood of successfully resolving your issue is quite low without the casino's cooperation.

When it comes to the Safety index rating, various factors are taken into consideration when calculating the rating. You can find information on how we calculate the rating here: Learn About Our Casino Review and Rating Process | Casino Guru (casinoguru-en.com)

I have found this information about the casino's Complaint Procedure, so I guess you can follow these steps.

Dear danielabet324,

I understand that you expect a prompt response from ADM regarding your complaint. However, please bear in mind that they likely receive hundreds of similar requests every day, so it takes time to review each one. While you are free to submit another complaint to ADM, in my experience, sending multiple complaints may not expedite the process and could even have the opposite effect.

We can't draft the complaint for you; this must be done by the players themselves. To assist you, we have prepared a guide on how to submit a complaint to a regulator, including information about Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), which I believe will be useful for you.

Unfortunately, apart from this, there isn't much more we can do at this point. Since you have already submitted a complaint to ADM, it is now up to them to decide when and how to address it. Their decision will be binding. I can only advise you to be patient and await their response.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear danielabet324,

The Starvegas team has not really responded to us. If we received any email from them, it was only that the customer should get in touch with their customer support directly. That's about it.

As I mentioned before, while we hold a reputable "authority" status in the gaming industry and collaborate with numerous casinos to resolve player issues, regrettably, not all casinos are willing or able to cooperate with us.

As a part of our standard procedure, I will leave the timer on the casino until it's run out and if the casino team don't respond, I will later close the complaint as unresolved. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach.

Please forward your complaint email you have sent to ADM to me at michal.k@casino.guru. This will help us to keep track of the case and let me know how ADM decided.

Dear danielabet324,

I understand your concerns, but as I have mentioned above, various factors are taken into consideration when calculating the rating, not just your negative experience. You can find information on how we calculate the rating here: Learn About Our Casino Review and Rating Process | Casino Guru (casinoguru-en.com)

If the number of complaints keeps increasing and the casino fails to address them, the safety rating will eventually decrease. It is important to understand that we cannot legally compel the Starvegas team to cooperate with us. The only legal authority is ADM, so I strongly recommend that you continue contacting them.

Dear danielabet324,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success in getting any information. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. Since you have already submitted a complaint to ADM, it is now up to them to decide when and how to address it. The Italian Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know how ADM responded at michal.k@casino.guru

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Michal
