Account closure money witheld 1132


3 months ago

Hello,

this complaint is to advise of Pistolo Casino's locking me out of my account as of Feb 6th, 2026 and withholding my funds.

Ive lost over $8000 CAD in this website and not i get locked out and theyre withholding the $1132 that was left in my account.

Ive gone to live chat multiple times and they told me to contact them via customer support email. My VIP host was answeringI did and all of a sudden communication just stopped one day.

The first email was Feb 6, 2026 with my pistolo vip host, he asked for a screenshot of the error when logging in, then another customer service rep answered on Feb 11, 2026 and said he changed my password and it should be ok.

It was not, I am still logged out. I told them this.

Feb 12, 2026 i get an email from Ethan VIP Management team saying that my account is under review. Ive sent multiple follow up emails and have not heard back from them.

At this point, I can only assume that my money is being stolen by Pistolo after theyve already taken $8000 from me, fairly, I lost it playing. But this $1132 is mine and I dont deserve this treatment.

Bonus not received even after wagering
I am filing a formal complaint against this casino for deceptive bonus practices that constitute a clear bait-and-switch scheme.

Before making any deposit, I contacted the casino's support team to inquire about the deposit bonus. I was explicitly promised a 100% bonus on my deposit, conditional on depositing and wagering. Based on this direct promise from the casino's own representative, I deposited $200 and completed the required wagering.

After wagering, I contacted support again to follow up on the bonus. I was told a second time that the bonus would be credited once my bets were settled. This was a second, unambiguous confirmation of the bonus from the casino's support team.

My bet settled as a loss. I then contacted support to claim the bonus that had been promised to me twice. At this point and only at this point support refused to issue the bonus, offering no valid explanation for their refusal.

The timing of this refusal is not coincidental. The casino confirmed the bonus while my funds were at risk, only to deny it the moment those funds were irrecoverably lost. This is a deliberate bait-and-switch:

— The casino used the promise of a bonus to induce my initial $200 deposit.
— They reconfirmed the bonus a second time while my funds were actively being wagered, preventing any possibility of withdrawal.
— They refused to honor their promise only after my bet was lost and my funds were fully unrecoverable.

Despite contacting support multiple times, I was never once informed of any eligibility restriction, exclusion, or condition that would prevent me from receiving the bonus. This information was deliberately withheld at every interaction until it was too late for me to protect my funds.

This is not an administrative error. This is a pattern of conduct designed to extract deposits from players under false pretenses.

I am requesting:
1. A full refund of my $200 deposit
2. A formal record of this casino's deceptive conduct on the AskGamblers platform

You will find below a record of my whole conversation with the pistolo chat, I always save conversations in case of problems.
