Closed due to inactivity of WinPalace Casino.
Displeased with WinPalace Casino. Asking for advice?
Hello all,
To begin, I have frequently referenced all of your expertise throughout my hunt for a casino that is reputable. I settled for Winpalace, prematurely to be honest, but their games are fun and I started winning quickly using a $30 no-deposit bonus to try out their games. Well I breached the contract by playing blackjack and video poker... THIS is where I need advice.
With the initial no-deposit bonus I won $500 on video poker- realized my mistake and started playing slots to play the "bonus play through" which was $1,200. I played through that and after a slots jackpot, I was sitting on $1,500. This was left as withdraw able at this point so I decided to begin my faxback form process which was approved within 5 days. During those 5 days I made a $50 deposit into my account and won another $500. My account now was over $2,000. A few days later my account was at $4,200 so I began the process of making a $900 transfer to my bank account which was approved. After 7 days, I was contacted (on a Thursday ;) ) that my withdraw had been rejected due to a breach in my no-deposit gameplay over 2 weeks prior. Within this email I was informed my account was reset, leaving my initial deposit. So after taking more than $4,000 from my account I am left wondering if that is warranted?? I mean I played and won a lot after the deposit and bonus was satisfied. Can anyone help me? I have saved every email and can post if need be.
I liked this casino... They were friendly and did not drag on any paperwork. The games were fun but I just did not agree with the stripping of my ENTIRE account... Maybe the fine-print is coming back to haunt me... Live and learn I guess. Just did not want it to hurt this bad.. ha. Thanks in advance for any advice on a next step...

Hello Rick,
I appreciate the reply. I was beginning to think my posting here was just going to get overlooked.
I understand your resources are limited in what you can do. However, I don't think my claim is unreasonable when I say that WinPalace took more than was warranted. I won more than $2k after MY deposit, which was after the terms of the play through were satisfied. So I am left with the dispute that taking $4k+ from my account was unwarranted.
My issue has not been resolved. James still has not responded to my original reply wanting more details about the extraction of my funds. Forgive me for thinking there was a cap or limit to this casino's power with one's money. That money was won over several weeks, and the initial bonus was satisfied within the first day of my playing... Sorry I will continue to disagree with WinPalace's stand.
Hi,
a detailed explanation about the time-frame of your bonus and the excluded games in which you played were sent to your email by Adriana.
i hope this explains it all.
regards,
Rick
The email I received from Adrianna did show the infraction in the bonus. I see that. What she will not show me is what I won post-bonus. See, Rick I won more than $2,000 after the bonus was over. I had my $900 approved withdrawal taken along with $3,500 from my account. As her email states, I played $1,000 in excluded games during the promotion. Yet you take $4400 from my account. This is my problem and it is still unresolved. WinPalace has ignored it and tiptoed around it. I understand I played excluded games. However they took more than warranted.
Hello,
Finance tried to explain the situation over the mail, however i see you are still not satisfied with this explanation.
i have instructed one of the senior Winpalace account managers to discuss this with you over the phone.
regards,
rick
Rick,
That is correct. I am not satisfied with the attempts made over email. The more I and others dig, the more I lack confidence in the casino you represent. As you could imagine, I would prefer as much proof of the conversation as possible. For this reason I would prefer to be reached by email. Plus, I work a lot so my window for conversation about a matter like this is very small. So please relay that. I like copies of my conversations; as I must protect myself for I've already lost $4,000. Thanks again for your patience Rick. Your time is appreciated on my end.
Brett
Hello DisappointedCitizen,
i understand your frustration on this issue and this is the reason i asked both the WP manager and Finance to call you and explain exactly why you are not correct on your calculations.
they were not able to reach you so far but i urge you to answer the calls since i have asked the them to call you again.
on the event that you insist not talking on the phone please put me on cc to your emails so i'll be more updated.
I don't work for the casino, we are the marketing company for Winpalace, however we have a lot of influence and we can push your case forward.
Winpalace is an honest casino and as such we strive to provide you with the best service available.
regards,
Rick
The casino has stopped contacting me. I have very little hope to resolve this issue as they credited my account a bogus $100 "HUGE strings-attached" "bonus chip". A $4,500 playthrough to be able to cash out and you can only cash out a SMALL fraction of winnings. This casino is crooked. Point blank, they took multiple thousands from my account months after my promotion was over. I did break the rules in my promotion but that only accounted for $1,200 of my winnings. I deposited my own money after the promotion so I won on my own accord. Regardless of their promotion. I have had WinPalace state that I went up immediately after my deposit and stayed on top. They can keep coming up with the 100th excuse for not paying me but they wiped my account for an infraction that happened a month and a half prior. Unless they want to refund my account; no resolution will be reached. I will not settled with a bogus $100, when I still believe they are wrong. I apologize for assuming you were apart of this rogue group Rick. I am just tired of researching and finding nothing but other people like me.

I am afraid this thread will soon come to an end. I finally got a coherent response today from Jordan from WinPalace. He was quite reasonable and gave me a great explaination of my playing of excluded games.
Contradicting my rapid-responsding conversation with Jordan was my conciliation prize from WinPalace. I was surprised to receive a "$100 free chip" awarded to my account from Jordan. Although this is a small fragment of what I still believe to be mine; it was a surprise at least. The only thing is, upon examining the "$100 free chip", it turned out to be surrounded with more stipulations. I could only use it on blackjack, video poker, etc. or else I would be in the same situation as before. Also it had a max cash out of $500, and a play through of $4,500... Honestly, I was considering leaving this casino before, just hoping to work things out, but now, I am gone. I doubt I will do any casinos from now own. I lost the $100 real quick with no intention on winning. It was never real.. As Thundercat has helped me see, their programming gives off a whiff of Casino Titan. So in the end, if anyone out there took the time to read this.. Please read carefully. Just because they allow you to play your favorite game; does not mean you are allowed. I do not recommend WinPalace; I will not play there again. I plead that if you do make the bold decision to play there, be very careful.
Wow thundercat. I am very impressed with your research. I am glad we can gather others on a site like this. This corruption and twisting of advertisements to abuse players is wrong. Especially when dirty deals are occurring. The players will speak and this site provides a megaphone. Why we can't have a safe place to gamble fairly in the US blows me away...
OMG ! Look what else I found out about Winpalace casino and not to mention all the other complaints of players cheated out their withdrawal from Winpalace for bogus reasons.This was posted on the complaints board website, I copied and paste:

Company information:
Win Palace
United States
The Win Palace Group which includes Win Palace, Slots Jungle and Mayflower casinos has now purchased Casino Titan, a well established " rouge " casino!
While Casino Titan was proven to be manipulating the software, rigging the jackpots and the jackpot figures, creating bogus, fake winners and utilizing non functioning wagering requirements mechanics in order to rip off its players...The Win Palace group has purchased Casino Titan.
One has to ask why would any casino group purchase such a casino??? We must assume that this is the kind of business they do and expect to be continuing to do !!!
These cheating, scamming, criminal online casinos MUST BE STOPPED!!
We will get the word out, continue to get the word out and we will not stop with new postings, bloggings and forum postings and reviews!!!
Casino Titan did not get the heat off by selling...Win Palace took on its debts with its purchase.
These casinos are criminal and The Players Advocate which was created to protect and speak for the players will continue its quest to shut them down!!
The Players Advocate... With the players, for the players, by the players!!!
Wow. That's some serious business... I am not surprised they have done this. I knew it was too good to be true. When you're talking 3-4 thousand dollars of money taken; were talking serious money. For me anyways.
The thing is, WinPalace approved every form of mine. Never mentioned the infraction once. The infraction wasn't caught until the day my withdrawal was supposed to hit my bank. Seems like they wanted me to keep depositing and gambling until the last second before I withdrew, so they could take it all for the issue I caused.
Thank you both for your support on my thread by the way. Means a lot for other gamblers to stand and help through this.
I have never trusted Winpalace casino or to do the right thing, which is why I don't play there. Have a look at what they did to a player on another casino forum:
WinPalace Casino - First it could not pay, then it would not
Cathy H of California is out $3152 for not logging in for 6 months -- even though it seemed useless to do so.
DisappointedCitizen,
I totally agree with you. If the money you made was after your deposit was made after the initial bonus was made, then you should get the money. This is clearly a case of WinPalace Casino trying to save money due to a technicality. You won the money after the deposit was made after the initial bonus was played through. The casino should pay you asap. I would not let this complaint get closed until they resolve it to your satisfaction. I would also implore you to post on other sites about how WinPalace Casino is trying to cheat its customers.
So I guess there is nothing WinPalace can do? I wanted to update and say that I did get an email from Adrianna in "Finance". The email basically stated no matter what my account was they had to reset it to zero. Even though I had gambled for weeks after the promotion was "satisfied". I won money after my own deposit on top of where I was after the promotion. This should be my money regardless because I won that money in the two weeks following my deposit. The playthrough ended with me at $1800. At which point I deposited $50 and won over $4,000. There was a more than $2500 difference in amounts. Can someone please address the validity of the ability to do that? I am not trying to be a difficult person, I just do not agree with what has happened here. I would love any help from anyone please.
