withdrawal bounced back from the bank and they are refusing to chase this up


5 years ago
Dear Ask Gamblers,

I have had an issue with BetChaser which has gone on since 15th October.

My withdrawal was processed on 15th October, and the casino have provided a screenshot of this transaction. I didn't receive it, so I chased this up with my bank who tell me that the payment wasn't accepted because it was sent with MoneySend. As far as I know, this is a Mastercard facility.

The bank sent the money back to BetChaser, and provided me with the tracking number for that (available on request). I have provided Betchaser with bank statements from 1st October until 17th November which shows that the payment didn't arrive in my bank account.

This has turned into an absolute catastrophe with the bank telling me that the funds were sent back to the casino, and the casino saying they never received the payment sent back to them. The casino are refusing to chase this up with their bank, and provide their bank with the appropriate reference number.

As a result, I am now €900 out of pocket, because the casino are unable to find this returned payment.

It should not be my responsibility, the consumer, to sort these technical problems. I am having to make phonecalls and numerous emails to the bank/casino to find these funds and the casino seems to be at fault here.

It is now 1st December and of course the funds have not arrived yet.

I have attached a private file showing what Betchaser have last said. Again, they are sending a screenshot of the payment made to my account. Frustratingly, this is not even what I am disputing. I know the payment was sent to my account because my bank have told me they can see it coming in, but then it bounced back to the casino. The casino are failing to understand this matter, and instead keep telling me the payment was processed, and their responsibility in the matter is over.

I am now without my withdrawal, and I need the casino to please sort this issue properly

Good day to all!
We inform you that the funds were returned to the payment system yesterday, 03/12/2020. At the moment, we have contacted the client and are resolving the issue of payment, by what method to make the payment.

Best Regards, Betchaser

Betchaser,

Firstly, I have already provided you with bank statements from my bank account showing the entire period of 1st October until 17th November. I have asked KBC (my bank, based in Ireland) for written confirmation specifically that the €900 did not arrive. The bank don't provide such specific letters of communication, however the bank statement showing there is no €900 payment into the account is satisfactory proof that the payment is not in my account.

Secondly, I have absolutely no idea why you are still sending me screenshots of the payment being sent to me. As above, I accept that the payment was sent. My bank have confirmed however that it was sent back to your bank account. Perhaps, you need to contact your bank? Either way, I should not be at a loss as a result of your incompetence. This has. already cost me tens of hours.

What you need to do now - please check your emails for the 3 images I have sent you of my bank statements. I sent the email yesterday. You will see the funds are not in my account, and that you need to investigate this further.

I am also very frustrated at the lack of responsibility for this being shown by the casino. I am currently without my winnings, and the casino is doing nothing to fix this massive, massive, issue.

Please provide a document from the bank that the funds were declined. So that we can specifically understand how to find your funds. You can send a document from the bank to suppor­t@b­etc­has­er.com

Giving me the runaround with payments
On February 19th I won €4,359.8 at Betchaser Casino. I originally deposited with BTC. After winning they asked me for some documents for me to verify my account. My account was verified and I tried to withdraw. This is when the problems start.

Betchaser tells me that in order to receive payment I must use Ecopayz. They told me that if I did this instead of the lower limits they would allow me to withdraw all my winnings at once. This is a very strange request. I never deposited at Betchaser with Ecopayz and did not have an account there. I complied with Betchaser and setup an Ecopayz. Betchaser did not keep to their word. Instead they only sent €1,000 to my Ecopayz.

I then tried to withdraw the rest of my funds again to Ecopayz. Many days pass and the withdrawal keeps being cancelled. Live chat just keeps saying they will be in contact. One day when I am trying live chat again they tell me that I must submit another document. I was never emailed asking for this document and had to find out from live chat. I submitted the document and live chat verified it and assured me that I would now be paid. Days pass and the withdrawal is cancelled.

Betchaser contacted me after my last withdrawal is cancelled saying that I must withdraw to my original deposit option! I was only following their instruction by using Ecopayz. But I comply and try to withdraw to my original BTC wallet. The withdrawal is cancelled.

I complain many times to Betchaser and they finally respond. They say that in order to receive my winnings I must open an OrangePay wallet. I have never heard of them. But they say that I must open one or I will not receive my funds. Not only that but they say that I must make a deposit before withdrawing to confirm my deposit method. They did not ask me this for Ecopayz. I think it is crazy that they think it is okay to ask me to deposit more money to receive my funds. But the funny part is that even if I agreed to I would not be able to. On Betchaser casino there is no deposit or withdrawal option for any wallet called OrangePay.

I hope that Askgamblers can help me to recover my funds. But I must admit I am not hopeful because so far this is clearly rogue behaviour.
