UNRESOLVED

Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Australia had waited for two weeks for a processed withdrawal that had yet to arrive. The casino also allegedly wrongly claimed that the player had canceled a $2,000 withdrawal. Despite several attempts from our complaints team to engage with the casino and resolve this issue, the casino failed to respond. As a result, we were forced to close the complaint as 'unresolved', which would negatively affect the casino's rating.

Dear Amzz777, 

I apologize, but since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we cannot continue resolving this complaint and we are forced to close it as ‘unresolved’.

Normally, in order to reach any kind of agreement, all three parties (player, casino, and mediator) need to communicate closely. Unfortunately, this is not the case and we were left alone in our attempt to solve this issue.

I am very sorry I couldn't be of more help, but at least closing this complaint as unresolved will negatively influence the casino's rating and other players can read about your experience in our review. 

As you might know, The Pokies Casino received a ‘5,9 questionable reputation’ from us, which means we would not recommend players to choose this casino. I strongly recommend only choosing casinos that have received at least a ‘Very good reputation’. You can check the list of the casinos we recommend on our website. I hope you will never come across a problem like this again.


The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.

Dear Amzz777,

have you tried to notify your bank about an upcoming overseas transaction? The Pokies Casino states they provided you with a MT03, which you need to forward to your bank. Can you confirm you have received it?

thanks for the update.

Will you be able to put a request to your bank asking them to allow the international transfers in order for you to receive your funds? What did your financial institution say about the MT03 document, please?
