Hello,
I am a customer at Westcasino. I have a balance of approximately €450 there. Suddenly, I no longer have access to the casino. It is suddenly no longer available in Germany. However, deposits were still accepted just 2 days ago! Now I cannot request a withdrawal. I have sent several emails. Unfortunately, I have not received a response. I also want to have my account deleted. I have only just now realized that this casino does not have a German license. This was repeatedly confirmed to me in the chat, though. Essentially, I can claim back all my deposits. What can I do?

Hello mickymaus18012014,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with WestCasino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
- Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly?
- Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus?
- When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Good day
Yes, my account is verified. I played with real money. I could no longer write to the casino because it is no longer accessible. I wrote several emails and was referred to Bet Maximus Casino. But I don't want to play there because this casino is also illegal. I am also requesting a refund of all deposits from Westcasino. After asking several times, this casino confirmed to me that they have a German license. This is apparently not the case because German players no longer have access. I want and am requesting a refund of all my deposits. Otherwise, I will inform the relevant authority (GGL).

Addendum
I request according to Art. 15 GDPR
my personal data. Here too, I have not received a response after requesting it. The casino is obliged to do this. I ask for no delaying tactics or anything like that. I am demanding the refund of all deposits. Winnings were never paid out. I did not know that this casino is illegal in Germany. Please clarify this quickly

Dear Mickymaus18012014,
I hope you're doing well. Could you please confirm whether you have contacted the casino regarding the withdrawal of your remaining funds? If so, did they provide any options for cashing out?
Additionally, I would like to kindly mention that we do not handle GDPR-related matters.
Best regards,
Nick

Hello
I have contacted the casino several times. Since I am verified, a withdrawal should be possible without any problems. But nothing is happening...

Hello Branislav & mickymaus18012014,
Greetings from WestCasino!
Our casino is no longer accepting players from this jurisdiction, therefore we have enforced an IP-based block that restricts access to our service from this location starting with September 2nd, 2024.
As part of this block all affected players were informed by email of the change and advised of the options available to retrieve any remaining funds.
The player has chosen to have her remaining balance, in the amount of EUR 451.69, transferred to a partner casino - amount which was transferred on September 6th, date on which the player was also informed of this.
For any further information regarding this the player should contact the partner casino directly, as we have completely fulfilled all our obligations towards the player.
All the best,
Eduard

Hello
I have not received any information that Westcasino is closing for German customers. I also did not choose to have my money transferred to the partner casino. I had already requested a withdrawal before it closed. I have nothing to do with the partner casino. I have not played there either. I want my Westcasino balance to be transferred to my bank account and not to be moved back and forth between casinos. I will file a complaint if I do not receive my money. And I would like to ask you to provide my personal data to Westcasino again. Because according to the legal situation, I can even request back all the deposits I have made. Please transfer my Westcasino balance to me immediately.

..I was only informed about the blocking when I could no longer access Westcasino at all. And I had requested the withdrawal beforehand. As I said, the casino was no longer available from one minute to the next. I never agreed to my money being transferred to another casino. Who knows who used this other casino? That is a criminal offense.

Greetings all,
Thank you both for your replies and updates, and I am sorry for the delay.
Dear mickymaus18012014,
From now on I will try to assist you with the matter. However, after reviewing all the available information, I am not sure how WestCasino could help you.
As we can see in the screenshots provided by the casino representative, you confirmed that you were registered at a partner casino (you can see it in your own email in the first screenshot) and asked WestCasino to move your funds to the partner casino.
So, since it should have been done with your current email address, I guess the same as you used at WestCasino, and based on your email, WestCasino also confirmed the transfer of your funds to the partner casino - can you please check your casino account at the partner casino and provide us with an update? Can you see your funds there? Can you withdraw them, or what happened to them?
I will wait for an update, however, I am afraid that I will be forced to close/reject this complaint because WestCasino basically does not have anything to do with the matter from the point your disputed funds were transferred to the partner casino and you will have to solve it directly at the partner casino/in your casino account you registered at that casino.

Good day,
I did not write these emails (screenshot). Where did you get them from? Something has been done here!!!!! I am registered with the other casino, but only because Westcasino wanted me to be that way a long time ago. I have neither played there nor withdrawn any money. I want my payout from Westcasino to my account! And not for the money to be moved back and forth. And as I have already written, I want ALL of my deposits back that I have ever made there. Because: despite repeated inquiries, this casino has repeatedly confirmed that Westcasino is permitted for German players. But that is not the case. Westcasino does not have a German license and has therefore committed an offense. Therefore, as I wrote, I would like all of my deposits refunded. After consulting my lawyer, Westcasino is obliged to do this. Before we take legal action, I am giving you a deadline of 7 days. And please do not put me off again and again. The facts speak for themselves. I will then go public. I work for the VOX broadcaster. So far I have refrained from doing so. Please reply as soon as possible.

I have not received any money! And I am referring to all deposits. The casino never had a German license, although this was confirmed several times when asked. As a result, the casino has committed a criminal offense. For the last time, I am asking you to refund the amounts I wrongfully deposited. The casino should not have accepted deposits from German players. I will go public if I continue to be put off. And my "winnings" have never been paid out. Please clarify the facts. Otherwise, the case will be handed over to the authorities for an in-depth investigation.
