Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Germany noted that Vulkan Vegas had refused his payout and blocked his account due to a claimed policy breach involving deposits from multiple accounts. He admitted to using his friend's account to deposit money and play games, which resulted in winnings. Upon review, the Complaints Team referred to the casino's terms and conditions, which explicitly prohibited third-party deposits. We advised the player to exclusively use his own payment methods for future deposits and rejected the complaint.

Hello,

I'm having a dispute with Vulkan Vegas as they are refusing to pay out our winnings. They're claiming that we deposited funds from multiple accounts and, as a result, they're not only withholding our payout but have also blocked our account, seemingly with the intention of taking our funds. My question is, considering they are now blocking us from withdrawing, if we have indeed breached policy, shouldn't they have blocked us much earlier and not just after we've won something?


Best regards,

Christoph

Dear TwXz97,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Vulkan Vegas Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Could you please advise how long were you a player of the casino and when exactly was your account blocked? How did you learn about your account being blocked?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, multiplayer)
  • Did you achieve your current balance with or without an active bonus? 
  • Did you deposit in the casino using payment methods that were exclusively in your name?

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,

Tomas

Sorry, the account was blocked yesterday and they said yes, they'll check it with the pictures etc and then we'll let you know, then I look at the account and suddenly it's banned and they threaten me with taking the money from him account do etc etc..


They said according to their terms and conditions etc. there can't be 3 providers there, but before we won something we deposited with 3/4 different accounts so they should have stopped it there, which they didn't do and are now doing because we won something they are being stupid...


Best regards

Christopher

I apologize for the late reply.

According to the terms and conditions of the casino: https://vulkanvegas.com/en/terms-and-conditions

"8.Deposits and withdrawals to/from your account
8.3 The Company does not accept 3rd party deposits, i.e. a friend, relative, partner, husband or wife. You must deposit from an account/system or credit card that is registered in your own name and ensure that your payment requisites are used for the deposits exceptionally to your own account. You agree not to use the payment details of third parties for the withdrawal of funds, as well as not to provide your payment details for the withdrawal of funds from third party accounts. If we discover during our security checks a violation of this clause, all winnings at the Website will be forfeited and sent back to the Company, and the accounts will be blocked."

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-players:

"Payments
For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations."

 

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during the account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only.

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you.

I'll await your reply.

So, we were able to deposit with others and weren't blocked? But they can now block us because we won something and we wanted to verify ourselves?

I am afraid we can't be of more help in the situation.

In the future, be sure to deposit using payment methods that are in your name exclusively when depositing in online casinos, otherwise, your winnings might be confiscated.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into issues with any online casino in the future.
