Missing funds and software glitch


3 years ago

Just under a week ago from the date of this post I had a decent session on the slots after depositing $300 aud and spinning it up to $4500 I decided to keep playing slots and some blackjack, after losing most of it back I had around $1200 left and I think I placed $160 (not an important detail because I lost the actual blackjack hand itself) and $20 on each side bet. the dealer pulls out 6 of hearts and 6 of hearts for a perfect pair, after losing the actual hand $0 was credited to my balance for the side bet winnings, I immediately used the chat feature to speak to the dealer of the game to inform her I was not paid out for my side bet winnings, she responded saying not to worry its not an uncommon issue and that she will double check with her pit boss and to refresh my page, after refreshing the page I was taken to a different table so could not follow up with her or the pit boss but spoke to live support instead.

After speaking to live support they wanted every single detail of the bet which I provided to them from my bet history, exact time, exact amounts of bets placed, the game, the date, the bet number, table number etc. was all provided to them and I was told I will receive an email with any updates regarding my missing winnings, fast forward a week, my winnings have not been credited, nor have I heard any response or received any emails regarding my missing winnings, whenever I try and speak to live support I am told "I don't have the answer for that as I am not from the relevant department, is there anything else i can help you with?" the most generic copy paste responses on the planet.

I immediately stopped playing blackjack to avoid any confusion for the team trying to resolve the issue having to dig through hundreds and hundreds of hands, It is still currently the last hand of blackjack I have played on their website so it should not be very difficult to find, So after the blackjack debacle I went to spin some more slots, I decided upon "sun of egypt 3 hold and win" as my game of choice by the provider I know to be as either "boongo" or "3oaks".

After spinning thousands of dollars through the game I finally landed a bonus with about $45 left in my balance, phew! (talk about timing, how lucky!) until the game immediately crashed and displayed a screen that said "internal error, please contact customer support"

I refreshed the page and got the same error, so I contacted customer support and was told to clear my cache and cookies which yielded me the same result, once again I contacted customer support they told me once again to clear my cache, restart my computer and to try a different device or a different browser, after trying all of the above, (I even updated my computer to the most recent update) and still receiving the same error I contacted customer support again, this time they told me they where experiencing server issues with that provider. Funny that, every other game from that provider worked a treat, loaded instantly and had no issues, the game in question loaded perfectly in demo mode and loaded without a hitch on my girlfriends account at her house on her devices.

After back and forth with their live support for almost a week and the game still displaying the same issue every time I try and open it (still to this date) I have received no emails as I was told I would regarding both matters, I have received zero help from any of the live support members, I have received none of my missing bonuses or funds, and I have been offered absolutely zero compensation regarding either of the matters. I will attach a photo of the error I have on the slot but unfortunately have no screenshot of the blackjack hand as after I refreshed the page it had taken me to a different table and essentially disappeared.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your patience.

We would like to inform you that we have received a reply from the game provider, and they have concluded that no side bets were placed during the round in question, meaning that there is no additional payout available from the round. In order to get an additional payout from a perfect pair, a side bet needed to have been placed. Please see a screenshot of the round attached.

Should you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Update:

Upon trying to open the sun of egypt slot for the 50th time in over 2 weeks it finally loaded and paid me my bonus winnings so I would consider that issue resolved, However I have still not heard or recieved anything regarding my missing blackjack sidebet winnings.

Withdrawal delayed since 8 November no support access
Hello,
I would like to file a formal complaint against 5Gringos Casino regarding the long-term withholding of my withdrawal, selective blocking of communication on my account (shadow-ban), and the complete unavailability of the listed regulator.
1. Withdrawal pending since 8 November 2025
On 8 November 2025, I requested a withdrawal of 12,500 CZK.
Since that day, the withdrawal has remained in a “pending / under review” status for over a week without any progress or explanation.
I am attaching screenshots that clearly show the request date, amount, and the unchanged status.
2. Selective blocking of live chat when logged in (shadow-ban)
The casino prevents me from accessing customer support:
When I access live chat while NOT logged in, the chat loads normally, messages are sent, and queue position is displayed.
When I am logged into my account, the chat instantly shows the error message “Zendesk is not available” and cannot be opened.
This is selective account-based blocking of communication.
I am attaching screenshots of both situations.
3. Casino does not respond to any emails
I contacted the casino multiple times through their official email addresses and received zero response.
Emails are simply ignored.
4. Regulator (Antillephone 8048/JAZ) is completely unreachable
I attempted to contact the regulator using all listed addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Every email bounced back with errors such as “no valid MX record”, “access denied”, or “host unreachable”.
I am attaching Mailer Daemon returns as evidence.
This means the regulator is non-functional and cannot be contacted, which leaves players without any legal remedy.
5. Breach of licensing obligations
The casino is required to:
provide accessible communication channels,
process withdrawals within reasonable time,
ensure a functional escalation path via the regulator.
None of these obligations were fulfilled.
6. Request
I respectfully request AskGamblers to assist in:
immediate processing and payout of my withdrawal (12,500 CZK);
restoring access to live chat on my account;
providing clarification why communication was blocked for my account.
All supporting evidence is attached.
Thank you for your assistance.
