Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Greece has been blocked without further explanation. The casino explained that the player's payment method had been used to fund two different accounts at the casino. The player provided statements from the dates in question that did not seem to show any transactions made to the casino. However, the casino also provided evidence that the card used was the same one. As there was conflicting evidence and no way to be certain of what had happened, we recommended the player contact the licensing authority and submit a complaint to them. This complaint was closed temporarily while we await the decision of the regulator. We contacted the player at a later date to determine if a decision had been reached by the licensing authority. Unfortunately, there was no response from the player so the complaint was rejected.

Dear ioannabl1,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. 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. Do I understand correctly that you have not received any confirmation regarding successful verification? Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?

Also, do I understand correctly that the casino has not provided any explanation regarding the blocked account? If there is any relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here.

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,

Kristina

after superhuman attempts to contact them they sent me an email telling me that I have violated their policy and that I have a duplicate account. this has never happened. because I read about their policy all day, I have never had an account before either at this casino or at any of the same group. I have sent countless emails and no response. also i have received account verification confirmation. at the beginning . before trying to make the first withdrawal. I have asked them to send me proof of the second account they mentioned but I have no response. in the email they said that the deposit amount will be refunded to me. I don't want this amount. i want the amount i won. also I think I had a bonus. but the amount I deposited was 50 euros. i have won more than 10000.

Thank you for your reply, ioannabl1. Is there any chance that someone from your household or using the same IP address has also created an account at this casino?

Did you receive any confirmation regarding successful verification in the past? Could you please forward it to me?

While I thank you for the proofs you have provided so far, I am afraid we will need to see the entire statements for the periods when these deposits have been made, and ideally, we should be able to see any deposits made to the casino and from which card number.

The reason for this is so we can compare your records for the card in question with those of the casino, and determine if there is any discrepancy.

Dear Adam,


Below we present evidence of violation of our casino rules by player IWANNNAK.


Both players IWANNNAK and GAVALASZ from one country - Greece, from one city Athens, deposits were made from one number of bank card, it is confirmed by two reports - coincidence between numbers of cards - 100% coincidence. 


This account of the player IWANNNAK considered as duplicate, according to the rules of our casino.

Also, as previously stated player IWANNNAK deposit was returned because the account is a duplicate.

Naturally, now the client will deny information that he knows the user DIMITRIOS GAVALAS, as wants to get his winnings, but the deposit of the bank card was on two accounts and it is an undeniable fact. 


We advise the customer do not try to bypass the system of checking and play honestly, maybe the player IWANNNAK himself do not remember that he gave his card to make a deposit to anyone, but the fact of violation of the rules of the project was and it is confirmed. 

The fact that the client IWANNNAK says that he did not make a deposit 2022-03-09 - money from a bank card can not be written off a day in a day and it is normal practice of different banks. 


We would consider if the card would be reissued, received very recently, but it is not so. There was a successful deposit on another account (GAVALASZ) with this card on 2022-03-09.


Our decision remains unchanged, this account is a duplicate, and is blocked without the possibility of withdrawal. 


Player IWANNNAK can contact the regulatory authority, but we have all the evidence that there was a fact of violation of our casino rules and there is a fact of deposit from one payment method (one bank card) on two accounts.


We are sorry if the representatives of Casino Guru do not see the facts that clearly show that the deposits were made with the same bank card on the first GAVALASZ account.


We ask the representatives of Casino Guru to mark the provided screenshots as private.


If you have any further questions, we will always be happy to help you.

Dear ioannabl1,

If your account was not a duplicate account and did not violate the rules of the project, we would be happy to pay you the winnings. 


The aggregator never provides the full card number, but in these cases, if the card number is 100% the same, they will send a notification about it, as it is classified information for security purposes. 


In this case, deposits were made to two accounts with this card. 


We perfectly understand your frustration, but we always act strictly according to the regulations of the project, without any guaranteed proof we would not close your account as a duplicate, and would not regulate everything by the rules.


If you don't agree with our decision, that's your right, but we're always for fair play. You can try to challenge our decision and write everything as it is to the regulator, but for our part we will also provide a full package of evidence from our side which clearly shows that the bank card is the same, as well as the accompanying pattern to the accounts.

I give you all guarantees that there is no transaction to your casino from my account. I can't understand what has happened. only I exist in this account, only I use it. probably an error has been made by your system. the bank's system as you understand it cannot be inaccurate. I understand that you would not act arbitrarily, but there is always room for error. This is what happens in this case. Your company's fault. I would like you to please tell me which regulatory authority you are under so that I can contact you there as well.

Dear ioannabl1,


You can give guarantees, but they will not give the result, as there is a fact of deposit from one card on two accounts. And it is confirmed by the facts and we provided them.

We checked several times, and also the aggregator provided information that it was the same bank card.

Our fault is not here, unfortunately.


Our position regarding your account remains unchanged.

Dear Winstoria Casino,


We have been provided evidence from you that suggests that the same bank card has been used to deposit into two different accounts.


We have also been provided evidence from the player in the form of the bank statement showing all transactions on the same dates, and there does not appear to be any correlation.


So far you have neglected to answer my question: How would a transaction made to Winstoria Casino appear on the statement?


We need to know this so we can compare the evidence provided by the two parties and try to determine why there might be a discrepancy.


If you would prefer, you can always send me the information via email. Please understand that because there appears to be no correlation between the evidence provided so far, we need to investigate this further. If there is anything further you can provide regarding these accounts it would be much appreciated.

Dear representatives of the casino guru and ioannabl1,


There is no need for the client to further confirm the statements and the bank, as we have received additional confirmation from the payment processing center that the payment was made from this card or the personal account of the client of the bank card.


We got the hash cards and they are the same in both cases, and the error probability of such a match is 0. 


This confirms that deposits were previously made from this payment method on the first account, and this account is a duplicate.


Perhaps the client has previously created a virtual card on his bank account, and made a payment from it, and such transactions are not recorded in the bank statement on a particular card, but are tied to a bank account. 


We do not claim that the client himself made the payment on the first account, that he most likely provided the data to make the deposit. But the very fact that the hash of the bank card is a 100% guarantee that the card is the same. 


There is too much pattern for us for 2 accounts:

Both players IWANNNAK and GAVALASZ from one country - Greece, from one city Athens, deposits were made from one number of bank card, it is confirmed by two reports - coincidence between numbers of cards - 100% coincidence. And in addition to 100% match on the hash of the bank card.


Our position remains unchanged, and the win is not legitimate.


The client can go to the regulator if he wants, but it will be useless, because there is a clear violation of the regulations of the project, which can not be hidden. 


The deposit is refund to the client, from our side all obligations to the client are fulfilled in full.

dear winstoria casino,


Once again I point out that your claim is wrong. the details I sent you are real and I have not done anything wrong. My bank does not issue virtual cards and you can if you want to look into that further. use false accusations just because you don't want to compensate me .

there is no way that any movement has taken place and has not been recorded in the banking system. you understand that we are talking about a bank and not a supermarket.

I have some questions to ask you.

1. how come a deposit was made from my bank to 2 different accounts and your casino accepted the second deposit?

2. the photo proof you sent could be a simple EXEL that anyone could create.

3. I would like you to tell me which regulatory authority you are under so that I can apply there.


Your treatment is unacceptable to say the least. you use cheap excuses not to compensate . unfortunately for you I'm not going to let the event end like that.

also let me tell you that even if there was a virtual card, it would not have the same number. I believe this is known. so it is naturally impossible for a deposit to have been made from the same bank account and not have passed through the bank's system. he knows full well that what you say is untrue.

I want to find my right and nothing more. I have played in your casino in every legal way. I don't want to hurt your business in any way.

Hello all, please accept my apologies for my delay in replying.


The additional evidence has been received and reviewed.


Dear ioannabl1,


The evidence provided by the casino does indeed suggest that the same card has been used to make payments to both accounts. Unfortunately, I am unable to share this with you for reasons of confidentiality.


However, this does not correlate with the evidence provided by you, and the casino still has not responded to my question regarding how a transaction with them would show on your statement.


Therefore, I would like to recommend that you contact the licensing authority of the casino (Antillephone N.V.) and submit a complaint to them. You can do so here: complaints@gaminglicences.com


Please let me know when you have done so, and I will close this complaint temporarily with the status "waiting for the regulator's decision".


Once they have reached a decision, we will reopen this complaint and proceed accordingly.


Kind regards,

Adam

Dear Adam,


Unfortunately, since the player's deposit was made almost a year ago, at this time we can't state with 100% probability that the player's deposit in the statement will be marked as "Virtual Pay International".

Since the name data is transmitted to us by the merchant itself, and it is through its payment gateway pass all deposits in bank cards, and all data they can change on their part.

We can't deny that the deposit in the player's statement will be marked as "Virtual Pay International", as it could be named at the time of the deposit.


But the data obtained from the merchant 100% match the hash of the bank cards from which the deposits were made on both accounts is an undeniable fact and causes a violation of our casino rules.


If you have any further questions, we will always be happy to help you.

Dear ioannabl1,


We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to follow up on your case, which was marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website some time ago. We were wondering if there have been any updates or resolutions since our last conversation.


If your case has been resolved by the Licensing Authority, we kindly request you to forward us their official statement at adam.m@casino.guru. On the other hand, if the ruling was in favor of the casino, it would still be incredibly helpful for us to know. We understand that it has been a while, but updating your complaint will allow us to either issue black points to the casino (if the ruling was in your favor) or warn other players and users about cases where the Authority supports the operator.


We truly appreciate your cooperation, and your response would be of great assistance to us. Thank you in advance for your reply.
