Account Locked With Balance £23,300, No Explanation 30 hours later


I joined Spin Station following reading a review on this website. However, I noticed that I had been a member of some of their sister casinos. However, I have always been impressed by the casino's and in past few weeks my situation has dramatically changed and I can have an 'entertainment fund'. But to be vigilant I made contact straight away with live chat and had below conversation

hey lasse can I please ask that if I make a deposit I do not receive a bonus because I do not want to be hampered by wagering requirements

Before you make a deposit you will be able to decline the bonus offer .
 
If at any stage you see a bonus on your account please contact us straight away before playing with it so we can remove it.

So, having had this transparency I made deposits and started playing. At one stage I was down £7,500 and I wagered nearly £20,000 and my balance is £23,300, however, yesterday at 1.30pm UK time I tries to log back in and it says user excluded.

I have contacted live chat 6 times over past 30 hours and absolutely nothing, they say they have no info and I will receive an email from accounts. My final chat log below,

I am now starting to be really upset approaching 30 hours of zero communication and over £20,000 gone missing, I will be logging official complaint with all transcripts on both AskGamblers and with UK Gambling Commission. Before I do this can you kindly confirm that still after 30 hours you have no idea what is happening

I can see that this is still with our accounts team and is being dealt with as a matter of priority. I see this is on going and the process can take a bit of time apologies for any inconvenience I can imagine this can be quite frustrating. I will escalate it again and as soon as we receive feedback we'll be in direct contact with you.

Despite having trust in this casino provider I feel that I have been very patient and have no other option but to log this complaint officially with AskGamblers

AskGamblers Complaints Team has been provided with enough information and evidence from the casino management to confirm the fact that player obviously didn't registered and played in a good faith and was in fact trying to put himself into a win win scenario with the casino relying on his previous history of multiple self-exclusion across their casino network and other casino groups as well by registering with different personal details.

AskGamblers Complaints Team maintains zero tolerance towards player trying to play unfair and that is why this case is being rejected and player's account is being suspended for indefinite period of time.

Dear Sirs,

Many thanks for your communication. This is the exact reason why I have used a neutral unbiased platform such as AskGamblers to show this complaint.

As you can see from live chat transcript before making a deposit I specifically sought live chat help to say I had been a client of hello casino and 21 casino and that I had self excluded but was at ease with my gaming levels now.

Lasse(chat agent) read everything and sad yes I could indeed have account and wished me luck. The evidence is thankfully all written above.

So, if I had been dishonest and secretly opened account and played then I would have no complaints for confiscated winnings, however, I specifically sought advice before any deposits were made because I wanted account to be honesty/transparent.

When I was £7,500 down my account was not locked and funds very active it was only locked when I was in profit
so the £3,300 winnings should be honoured otherwise what is the point of having a live chat service if the information is so off the mark!!

Sincerely,

Tennis7878

Hi Marc (tennis7878),

You have previously self excluded from our brands and gaming license. You registered an account with different credentials this is why you passed our barriers.

As soon as your account was reviewed, your previous self exclusion flagged up and your £20,000 deposit was the immediately sent back to your payment account. Our compliance, risk team and payment processors have all verified this with evidence which is now with ask gamblers .

Best wishes

No available withdrawal methods
Hi,

I registerd yesterday at Spinstation (where it shows many options for deposit etc). And i saw it had MGA-license, so i thought ohh well must be a decent site. It took 1 second to deposit money with VISA.

After playing for a while i decided that i want to withdraw the reminding funds, when i got to "withdrawl" there is ZERO options for me. Is that even legal? Look attached picture. On "withdrawl method": it says "new bank information", BUT heres the funny part.. Spin Station has disabled bank transfers... It says in red text when you try to withdraw, meaning.. there is zero options for you to withdraw money. Attached picture with red text says bank transfer is disabled.

So.. Since there not a single option for me to withdraw money (but multiple when wanting to deposit LOL), i had to contact support. Support could not help me and told me i need to speak with the "accounting team" the next day or they could "escalate" the issue, but it would take 24-48 hours to get an answer. So i waited to the next day and contacted support again, this time support said accounting doesnt speak with customers. When i said bank transfer is disabled on their site, i was asked to wait 20 minutes for an answer. Then they wanted me to come back later to speak to a Norwegian and they closed the chat. After contacting support trough email, i found out there are two options Ezeewallet and LuxonPay (scam options? these two options does not even show up at their site and both apps has 10k downloads in Play Store.... with 10$ withdrawl fee to bank + takes 3 days). They wanted me to deposit even more money with LuxonPay or Ezeewallet then try to withdraw with one of these options? like wtf? Why would i deposit more money when there is zero options to withdraw it in "withdrawls"? This has been the utterly most worst times ive ever had at any site.

Purposely delaying verification process
Hello, I made my first withdraw on spinstation on 27-5-2017 and received a message for verification documents to send. I have send the documents the same day and in their terms it should take max 48 hours to verify the account after they received the documents. on 31-5-2017 early in the morning i received finally an answer that 1 document is older than 3 months and they need another. ( in the mail it said nothing about the 3 months rule, but okay i've send a new one right after it.) Every day i send emails if the verification is finished and everyday same respone "apologize for the delay" or "sorry we have a slight backlog" And this is not acceptable, if i don't follow their rules i have a big problem, but they can use these delaying tactics without problems. Every day i also ask in livechat why it take so long and everytime they say something else. "tomorrow they will get back to you" tomorrow the relevant department will contact you and you receive a notification that the account is verified" And today i received this response in livechat, "Thank you for holding. My accounts team has advised that one of our hosts has already escalated the account verification matter today and they are busy sorting the matter out with priority, we apologize once again for the delay but they were experiencing a slight backlog for the weekend passed. " But i don't believe them anymore, and hope you can help me to resolve this case. Kind regards, Steven
