The player from Italy had their account blocked without further explanation. The remaining active balance is still held by the casino. We did not receive any reply from the casino team, therefore the case was closed as 'unresolved'.
Hello, I have been scammed by this casino. On Sunday 12 December I deposited € 300 and during the same day and the following day, playing lightning roulette and a slot machine, I reached a balance of € 5450. I immediately requested the maximum weekly withdrawal of 1500 euros by bank transfer. On Monday 13 December around 10 am, when I log into my account, I get the warning that my account is suspended for an internal investigation. I immediately ask for explanations via email and chat. Laura my vip manager wrote me that the account was suspended because two weeks earlier I had asked for a refund on the deposits made as I had sent an email requesting the closure of the account which was ignored for two whole weeks and I continued to pay and lose. In total I have paid € 5500 to this casino since it opened. Since I kept losing I had asked for the closure of the game account via email as they do not allow it via chat. I have not received any response for days, my account remained open and I continued to deposit money and lost it all. I then sent a complaint email to obtain a refund of the deposits from the date of the account closure request. No answer, account remains open and I continue to pay. Until Sunday arrives when, after about 6 days from the last deposit made and lost, I make another 300 euros and for the first time I win and win a lot, up to the figure of 5450 euros. At that point, as already said at the beginning, I ask for the withdrawal and they think well to suspend the account. As long as I was losing money, everything was fine for them, but when I win for the first time they block everything. So, as said, I contact the VIP manager and she reassures me that everything would be sorted out because there was a misunderstanding about the complaint I had made about the deposits to be repaid and they had to understand the situation. I replied that I had never received an answer to the complaints and since my gaming account had remained open, the winnings obtained were legitimate and to be paid naturally without requiring the reimbursement of previous deposits which in any case added up to the same amount as the winnings obtained. She replies that she would have notified the finance department and that it would be alright and not to worry that it was all a misunderstanding. Result? Today Wednesday 15 December I find my account closed with my money inside. I therefore ask you for your help because here we are faced with a real casino scam that used the excuse of requesting refunds which, however, I did not have for not paying the winnings. So they kept the money from my disputed deposits as well as the winnings. Of course, I want my winnings to be paid to me because they are legitimized by the fact that they were obtained with an account opened two weeks after the request to close the account. I have saved all the screenshots of the chats and the mails sent and received. Thank you in advance
Dear carsix79,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and forwarding all the relevant communication. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Could you please advise what reason you have stated to close your account? Have you mentioned, by any chance, gambling addiction? Was your account fully verified in the past?
Since your request to block the account hasn't been granted and the account was still accessible, we believe that the winnings should be paid.
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela
I asked for my account to be closed because on December 2nd I had a problem with a non-payment of a win at lightning roulette. Basically I was refused the bet due to a blackout of the evolution provider and the bet was not paid. I had immediately sent a complaint to the casino to which I had not received a reply after continuous reminders and therefore I requested the closure of the gaming account on December 4th. I did not mention the problems with gambling because my motivation was precisely regarding that problem that occurred which they never gave feedback. My account has been fully verified with all required documents.
I never received an answer to the request to close the gaming account.On the contrary, my vip manager Laura sent me an email on December 13th, i.e. the day after I had obtained the winnings and asked for the first withdrawal of 1500 euros, writing that they they never received the request to close the gaming account and that I had to wait for the withdrawal to be paid and that's it. I am sending you the emails in question.
Now they are using the excuse of requesting a refund for deposits made after my request to close my account, which was ignored for 9 days, to not pay my winnings.
In their terms and conditions in point 7.11 it is also written that they do not provide in any way refunds for deposits made and played.
I asked them to speak to a manager and they denied it to me. Talking to chat support is useless because it's like hitting a rubber wall. My vip manager herself had written to me that I should have received my winnings as my account was never closed due to my request and other deposits made and lost, but that the final decision was all up to the finance department.
I have had some legitimate winnings and would simply like them to be paid out.
I feel cheated from this situation and I hope you can help me because it is inconceivable that a casino does not pay the winnings through these deceptions. It was convenient for them to leave my account open until I lost money and they blocked everything for me only when I got an important win for the first time. I am sure that if I had lost even the last deposit they would have denied me the refunds because as you also say the customer is solely responsible for the money he plays and eventually loses. They themselves write it down in their contract rules in point 7.11 ("should a player deposit money which will then be used to play, the player will not be entitled to any refund"). Now, however, they are even going against their rules to not pay what they owe. Virtually a double violation of conduct by the casino.
Thank you very much, carsix79, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Jozef (jozef.k@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hello carsix79.
Thank you very much for sharing your negative experience with the Casino Guru team. We are now going to reach the casino team.
We are extending the timer by 10 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’.
Since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we are forced to close the complaint as ‘unresolved’. The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.
Dear Carsix79.
I am very sorry, but since the casino team is unresponsive, we’re not able to proceed with further investigation. Another option is to file an official complaint at ADR and/or licensing authority of the casino. I will gladly help you with it. Please, be aware that this complaint will affect their reputation on our website. Let me know if you have any questions or require further assistance.
