The player from Australia had her withdrawal denied due to third-party deposits. We rejected the complaint because the player didn't respond to our messages and questions.
since Setting up my account I was only able to use my own card for deposits for the first week then it no longer worked so I then used my partners and a friends card after I would transfer them the funds to deposit which was always approved , so I have been depositing with a third party account pretty much since the start of jointing (4 months) and only finding out now since trying to withdraw is supposedly prohibited
whilst making these deposits the other persons name was entered and they accepted payments everytime payments also being confirmed by bank net codes etc I now have tried to withdraw my winnings and they have told me because of this they have confiscated my winnings
how are they able to accept payments from other accounts if this is prohibited
Dear jaxxyboy1,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I have checked the terms and conditions, and this is what I found (here):
„11. DEPOSITING
...
The Company does not accept third party payments. You must make deposits only from a bank account, bank cards, e-wallets or other payment methods that are registered in your own name. If we determine during the security checks that you have violated this condition, your winnings will be confiscated and the original deposit will be returned to the owner of the payment account. The Company is not responsible for the lost funds deposited from third party accounts."
Furthermore, please check our 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 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.
Thank you very much in advance for your reply and understanding.
Best regards,
Petronela
