Unjustified account closure and confiscation of winnings

I've been playing on casino heroes a bit over 3 months now.
Never really made a significant amount, and thus had no problems.

Yesterday I deposited 280 eu and turned it into 450 (not much I know) and then tried to cash out.
The cash out methods would not work and had to do a manual one, which resulted in a security check.

I wanted the money sent to a uk bank account (not knowing this would be a problem)
and today was banned and told I would not receive the cash out either.

the only restricted countries it mentions on the T&Cs are:
2.6. You are not resident of the U.S.A., Italy, France, Guyane (French Guiana), Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, China or Hong Kong.

I would really like the 450 I won paid out to me, and if not then atleast the money I cashed in yesterday. As I said, I have been playing for a few months, I would not have deposited this much (or played) if i knew there would be a problem

Considering all the information and facts that became clear during the complaint's process, AskGamblers Complaints Team believes that Casino Heroes management acted according its terms and conditions. More over, player confirmed he didn't state correct information upon registration. Not to mention the fact that casino registration list shows that neither United Kingdom nor Spain are listed. It is clear now that player by his actions violated casino's terms stated above.

Based on the above, AskGamblers Complaints Team considers this case as Resolved and it is now officially closed. In case of a disagreement with our decision we remind player that further assistance on this matter could be requested from the relevant licensing authority responsible for Casino Heroes..

This case is now being officially closed.

Hi LT1902,

We take these matters very seriously and before rushing into conclusions we wanted to make sure that our licence regulator, the MGA, was informed, reviewed the case and approved our conclusions.

Unfortunately, you went against our terms and conditions when you registered under country Slovenia (SI) when in fact you were playing from Spain. It also transpires that you actually are a UK resident. We do not offer UK nor Spain in our country of registration on our registration page and when you didn’t find these countries available in the dropdown selection, you went on to select a country that was available although you were not originating from that country (Slovenia).

These are the terms and conditions (https­://­www.ca­sin­ohe­roe­s.c­om/­en/­ter­ms-­and­-co­ndi­tions/ ) sections that were breached and the consequences of such breaches:

3.3. You must enter all mandatory information requested into your registration form all of which must be true and correct. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is true, complete and correct. You are hereby notified that we carry out verification procedures and that your Account may be blocked for access or closed if you are found to supply false or misleading information. You are required to update and keep up to date the mandatory information provided in the registration form in the event such information changes.

4.14. Deposits made to your Casino Heroes account should commensurate with game play. Therefore, if in Hero Gaming’s discretion, there is suspicion of abuse (for instance, where a deposited amount has not been used for an appropriate level of game play and the user then makes a withdrawal request in relation to that deposited amount or where Hero Gaming suspects that you are abusing exchange rate fluctuations), we reserve the right in its absolute discretion to cancel the respective deposit(s) in part or in full, to retract any costs that may have resulted in conjunction therewith and to close the gaming account indefinitely. Hero Gaming further reserves the right to request and obtain satisfactory proof of deposit and additional copies of personal identification in such instances prior to processing any withdrawal request, the processing of such request to be entirely at Hero Gaming’s discretion.

13.1. If you breach any provision of these Terms and Conditions or we have a reasonable ground to suspect that you have breached them, we reserve the right to not open, to suspend, or to close your Account, or withhold payment of your winnings and apply such funds on account of any damages due by you.

We consider this case to be closed now and have nothing further to add.

Casino deleting winnings without any legit reason
Hello together,

Some days ago I started playing on Casino Heroes because I only heard a lot of positive stuff about that casino and its bonus.

I registered all normally and legally with phone number, birthday, adress, name and played with only 25€. After I had used bonus and my 25€, I decided to put in 25€ more.

Fortunately I won 88€ in a game of Honey Rush (see https://imgur.com/a/ShRb4Gb).
So I had around 115€ from which I decided to withdraw 100€ to my credit card.

Since that did not work out and my withdrawal got cancelled without a word from them, I asked the chat and they told me that they only pay out to VISA cards and not to MasterCards, I should withdraw via Trustly to my banking account - All that I did.

Around 10 hours later they wrote me an email about needing my ID, an invoice with my adress, a photocopy of my credit card and something that prooves the banking account is in fact mine. All of those documents I send them and they replied with the following mail:
https://imgur.com/a/ShRb4Gb

It literally says; "We have to inform you that we had to negate your withdrawal request, because we do not allow payments via business accounts. You can keep using your casino account with a private banking account."

Afterwards they cancelled my deposits, deleted my winnings and set my account back to zero.

I just send them an email that I do not have a business account whatsoever. I am still a student and do not even have a business or even a job?!

My banking account as well as my credit card are my private card/account that I use for shopping in the shopping mall, pay my bills and use in at least 3 different online casinos (where I never had ANY problem with deposits and withdrawals at all). I even send them my monthly credit card invoice to proove that it debits every payment I make with my credit card monthly from the same banking account I tried to withdraw my winnings too.

I really dont know what else they need and I find it more than bold that they do not even begrudge someone the winnings of only 50€ with a made up excuse.

Furthermore I also checked if their Terms and conditions even mention the word business account or private account. Not in german, not in english. So its not even something I agreed to when registering! Its simply made up for the reason to not pay out winnings.

I would really ask for some help with this case. Otherwise I would advise everybody to stay away from that casino. If they do not even pay out a small amount of 50 euros, they surely wont pay out higher winnings.

Issue with feature glitch not investigated properly
I was on my online account on casino heros and was playing a game called blaze of ra, I was doing £1 spins and the feature landed in on the reels but did not activate which I then took a screen shot of on my mobile phone because I knew it should have, I then checked the rules of the game to see if I was wrong but I wasn’t it states if 3 or more scarabs land anywhere it triggers the feature. I contacted the casino via live chat and spoke to a lady called tiia which was very helpful and lovely towards me and I sent her over the screen shot to then she said she would get it investigated and I would hear back from them the next day. I received an email from the casino team stating they have checked the back office with the rounds I played and it matches up to theirs but with only 2 scarabs landing in place and there was nothing more they could do. I’m confused how theirs only shows 2 scarabs landing in but mine show 3 but the time and day matches up to it,I would like to know what I can do about this as I feel I’ve been cheated by the game as I have photo proof of the scarabs landing in (3) but not being activated, I’m bring this to you as I do not know what to do from here as I know if it had triggered I could have won a fair bit of money I then could have withdrawn. I have attached the photo of the screen shot and also the rules to this complaint and very much appreciate it if you could help me with this matter.

Legitimate winnings of £170 removed after completing wagering requirements
I signed up for a £5 welcome gift at Casino Heroes, completed the wagering of 40x and was left with a real money balance of around £87. The bonus terms state the maximum withdrawal from the welcome gift is £100 which i was well within at the time. I continued to wager with this real money until i reached a balance of zero. I was awarded some free spins which i then used to grow my balance to £270 and completed the wagering requirement of 40x which was roughly £1400. I then attempted to withdraw my winnings only to have £170 confiscated as they believed they were gained with bonus funds. I queried this with the casino as the free spin terms make no mention on a maximum withdrawal applying to free spins (https://www.casinoheroes.com/uk/bonus-terms). They stated as i had used the welcome bonus which had been converted to real money after wagering they still consider it bonus money. I find this very unclear as my play history suggests i was making these stakes with a real money balance and as i had completed wagering any restrictions would have been removed. I pointed out if i had withdrawn the same funds and re deposited them then continued to play the winnings would have been fine in this case. From my perspective it seems they are trying to enforce 2 seperate terms and conditions relating to different types of bonus to get out of paying my winnings. I feel i have complied with every one of their terms and conditions only for them to try to renege on their own terms which state after wagering it becomes real money that can be withdrawn. Upon checking my play history i see i am missing a lot of wins, specifically anything that was played with real money and resulted in a win. I find this kind of accounting very disturbing as it seems they can remove what they like from the play history with impunity. I would also imagine full and accurate accounting would be a condition on being granted a licence to operate in the UK and strongly suspect them of committing fraud by false accounting.
