Vulkan Vegas Casino - The player's account got blocked.

Hello, I have encountered the following issue with this casino.

I created an account but wasn't able to make a deposit using any of the payment methods they had available. I contacted their live support, but unfortunately, they were not very helpful in this regard, and my issue wasn't resolved. So I asked them to close my account. They were quite reluctant to do that, but I saw no point in having an account I couldn't even deposit on. Eventually, my account was blocked by them at my own request. I want to emphasise the fact that I didn't make any deposit, claim any bonus, place any bet, or won anything using this account. There was no activity whatsoever.

Later, I decided to try again and created a new account using a different email. I finally managed to deposit and continued using this account. I won €975 at some point and requested a withdrawal, which was followed by a standard verification procedure. I uploaded my documents, but after that, I received an email saying that my account was blocked and requesting a document to confirm that I was in Finland while playing on their site. I was surprised to say the least and said that I was in Ireland the whole time. Their response implied that I was using a VPN. That surprised me even more because I have no idea how it works and how to use it. The only possible explanation I can give here is that my children were using my laptop, so they may have been using VPN for Netflix or shopping and then forgot to turn it off. Even if that's the case, I wasn't aware of that at all, and it was never my intention to mask my IP or location.

Having explained that to the casino support, I told them I would be extremely careful with VPN in the future. But now they're saying that they're ready to unlock my account upon the condition that my balance will be voided. I find it extremely unfair, I complied with their rules to the best of my ability and was completely honest about my actions, which were approved by their live support. I didn't breach any of their terms on purpose, and I think my account should be unlocked without the voiding of my balance. Please look into this issue, thank you.

Hello jerem.hanlon,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Vulkan Vegas Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise since when is your account fully verified? Since when is your second account registered? Did you ever play in the casino while the VPN was on? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hello, thank you for your quick response.

I'm not sure my account has been fully verified, I submitted all required documents on 6th March I think and informed the casino via online chat as per their instructions, but I never received any confirmation.

My second account was created on 22/02/2023.

With regard to VPN, I never used it while playing in the casino on purpose. As I've already mentioned, my children may have forgotten to turn it off after using my laptop, and, unfortunately, I didn't notice it as I have no idea how it works. But I don't know that for sure, and the casino didn't provide any evidence that VPN was in fact being used.

The last time I spoke to them was around 4 days ago, they told me they would agree to unlock my account on condition that my balance was voided. I told them I wasn't willing to accept that and decided to submit this complaint.

Hello jerem.hanlon

The account is blocked due to a suspicion of VPN usage. You were requested to provide proofs of gameplay from Finland.

Looking forward to getting them, and the account will be unlocked immediately.

Regards

Hello jerem.hanlon,

Please provide the casino the requested document and let us know the outcome as soon as possible.

Hello, I can't provide this document because I wasn't in Finland at any point, as I've mentioned multiple times. As for the VPN usage, I've already provided possible reasons for that. I would kindly ask the casino to read my explanation again, I've explained everything in detail. The only possible explanation I can give here is that my children were using my laptop, so they may have been using VPN for Netflix or shopping and then forgot to turn it off. Even if that's the case, I wasn't aware of that at all, and it was never my intention to mask my IP or location. I remember there was an issue when I logged in after that, the games I wanted to play were not available, so I logged out, restarted my laptop, and then it went back to normal. Now that I remembered this, I think it was caused by the VPN, but I had no idea it had something to do with it back then. And if it was, that session was very brief, a few minutes at most.

Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino,

Can you please advise how many times did jerem.hanlon play from Finland and if he did get any advantage for using VPN during his game play?

Hello all,

We've checked the account, the player accessed the account 3 times from Helsinki, made a deposit and had a gameplay. Frankly, we do not understand why the player changed the IP. Anyhow, the player may now continue the usage of our service.

Regards

Hello,

I appreciate you unblocking my account, however, I do want to clarify that there was no gameplay "from Helsinki", nor did I access the account 3 times with the wrong IP. It happened only once and for a very short period of time. I think if you check the gaming history, you will be able to see that all of my bets were made from Ireland. It was an unfortunate mistake and I will definitely make sure it never happens again. Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you ejrem.hanlon for letting us know that the issue has been resolved. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you will come across any other trouble again in the future, we will gladly try to help you out.

Regards,

Nick
