Been unfairly accused of fraud, again!


A couple of weeks ago I requested a withdrawal at Sun Palace Casino for almost 1000$, early this week I requested two more withdrawals - the total amount is now 2129$.
So i checked in with their finance-department and asked about the withdrawals on wednesday and got an (probably standard automated) answer telling me that the "withdrawals is in queue for processing and will be sent to the payment processer within the next few days"

On friday however I recieved an email from their security-department that wanted me to verify my home-address for "withdrawal purposes". I did that, and included a jpg of a fresh utility-bill.
The thing is I have verified my account more than three times in different ways (telephone, emails and verification documents), so yesterday I contacted them and asked what was going on with the withdrawals and everything.
And after a long (and weird) chat without real answers with their security-department, they admitted that my account was under review due to "fraud investigation". Now - if this happened one time due to security reasons I would understand, but this is at least the third time they are doing this to me. Without any proper information whatsoever, and their support-people just keep referring to "upper management" for decisions. And I tell you - you can't get a hold of "upper management"..

The previous times they have referred to that "there are huge amounts of fraudulent accounts and activity from my area", and thats the reason that they are doing this. But that is just total nonsense - I have a very hard time believing that Sweden is any type of criminal territory when it comes to online-gambling. Especially at Sun Palace Casino.

I am sick and tired of being treated like a criminal by these people. I am an honest player, playing with my own money using my very own Neteller-account. And they have found this out every time as well, but still they are trying to pull this and making me feel terrible.
Everything about this is just awful!

Trying To Void Legitimate Winnings

Having Played various casinos, I wanted to play one with RTG games so I chose Sun Palace Casino. I made a minimum $25 cash deposit with no bonuses as I like to play with no “strings attached”. The last few spins on 3 Stooges part 2. I won the $383.00 jackpot. I immediately cashed out and received a letter asking for my license and copy of my bank statement. I received the following:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Thank you for contacting us! It is a pleasure to be of your assistance.

This email is to inform you that we successfully received all the documents you sent.

Your withdrawal request is pending now, once it is in Security Department you will receive a phone call of verification from us.

A few hours later I received this letter:

Payout Request Declined

Dear < personal info removed >,

We're sorry, but your MailCheck payout request of $ 390.00 USD for Account ID shoedog20 has been declined.

We thank you for your continued business and are always available if you should have any questions.

Note that they did not give any reason for the decline. I replied back asking for a reason and they claimed they didn’t receive my $25 payment due to a glitch with their processor. So how was I allowed to play? After challenging that I received this confusing letter:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Greetings from MainStreet Vegas Group!

We have just learned from our processor that your initial $25.00 deposit did not go through from your Visa card -9733 and it produced winnings.

In order to honor your payout, please proceed to deposit such amount (this deposit must be valid and duly confirmed by us). Else please provide evidence (banking statement) that the deposit in question was charged to your credit card. Unfortunately, by no circumstances we can deduct it from your winnings; that are also limited to a maximum of 5 times the credit amount used to produce them.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance four your cooperation in this matter.

Best Regards,

Alx

I checked with my bank and the deposit went through and was deducted from my account. Finally I got this letter confusing me even more:

Dear Alan,

Thanks for contacting us, in this case as the previous email said, from our end the transaction seems to be decline, now sometimes the

transaction might appear in your card, as pending transaction but this is totally normal and the money should be returning to your account

automatically in around 3-5 days depending on the bank.

For any other question please feel free to contact us via live chat.

It’s obvious to me they are trying to void a legitimate win. any help you can give me would be appreciated.
