Refusing to cooperate for a withdrawal


Betfinal casino emailed me encouraging to to sign up with them using a different username and the $ currency and they would offer me their welcome offer again.
I went ahead and took them up on their offer, signed up and after a couple of deposits using my VISA I ended up with a balance of close to 2000$.
I had my account verified within a day or two and went ahead and requested a withdrawal back to my Visa.
The casino told me the the withdrawal failed, so I tried requesting a wire transfer. I was told that the wire transfer option is only available for customer having an IBAN which is not something we have here in Canada.
They then told me the have a strict return policy and that the only option would be to pay the money to my VISA.
I called my bank and they told me that they do not accept payments to the VISA and if I wanted to receive a payment they would need to wire the money directly to my account. They then gave me all the information the casino would need to wire the money to me.
I relayed the information the bank gave me to the casino and the told me that if I didn't enable my Visa card they would only be able to refund me the deposit back and keep the winnings.

I need help in having the casino pay my winnings out to me. Please Ask Gamblers, can you get in touch with the casino and ask them to offer ANY alternative? I've cooperated with all their requests so far but I do not know what else I can possibly do.

Blocked account and not responding to emails
Had my account blocked for logging in from my work computer that had to be on a VPN and completely stopped communicating with me. I have emailed numerous times to try and get paid the $19,700 balance that I have in the account to no avail. The terms (section 1.6) do not clearly state that use of VPNs are not allowed and unless used to access their site from an illegal country or to mask your current actual location which is not the case for my account at all. My account has been fully verified, including my proof of residence. This is just another Curacao book that will look for any reason not to pay legitimate winners. It's a great site if you are looking to just go casually lose some money but if you win don't expect to be treated well and you absolutely run the risk of not getting paid.

Please see below for the only mention of VPN service in their terms:

6. Access to certain Services on the Website may not be legal for some or all residents of or persons present in certain countries. We do not intend that the Website and Services be used by persons in countries in which such activities are illegal. It is the Customer’s responsibility to make sure to not use a VPN, proxy or similar service that masks or manipulates the identification of your real location, or by otherwise providing false or misleading information regarding your location or place of residence. Betfinal.com reserves the right to ask for proof of address from clients and to suspend their account until satisfactory documentation is provided.

I am located in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada, which is a legal country. I have never tried to access Betfinal (or any other web site for that matter) from outside of Canada. The VPN service on my work computer was a forced security precaution because I worked for a Financial Institution and was forced to work from home during a pandemic. I have adhered to all their requests and answered all their questions honestly, yet they have blocked my account, stolen my legitimate winnings, and refused to answer my emails.
Status unsolved Unresolved
$19,700
Payment delayed with no further info nor contact
I can't log in to my account for 3 weeks now. I requested a withdrawal but I have never received it. I have (had) about 700 EUR balance.
They replied the following: "This message is caused by technical changes by our provider and currently appears for each and every account. We are working under high pressure on a quick solution. However, we are at this point unable to answer when this will be the case."

"While Christmas just passed and the New Year is around the corner we would like to update you regarding the status of our technical upgrades.

As you already noticed, Betfinal has been unavailable for customers residing in certain countries. The background of this was an unexpected change on provider side. As you can imagine, this has caused a lot of issues for us in the worst possible time of the year.

We however have tackled the issue and are in the final steps to provide all our customers with a solution in the first week of January no matter in which country you are residing.

Please accept our apologies for the delayed updating, but our support team is doing their best to cope with the amount of requests and to answer all emails.

Please also note, that all pending withdrawals are taken care of and if you wish to request a withdrawal of your funds in your account, you will be able to do so shortly. Unfortunately it is not possible to process any withdrawals upon email request.

We wish you a great start into the new year 2019 and will get you updated at our earliest."

Delayed withdrawal and suspended account, no further info
Hi!

I have been a customer of Betfinal since February 2017. My account was fully verified shortly after opening the account, and I have made some deposits and withdrawals during the 1,5 years I've played at Betfinal. Up until now always I have always been happy with the experience at Betfinal.

On August 18th 2018, I was invited to Betfinal Ultras, a "VIP club" promising quicker withdrawals, higher limits and some exclusive bonuses. I took up the offer of a Ultra reload bonus and played through the required roll over amount. After clearing that bonus, I made a few more deposits for other promotions they had running at the time.

On August 28th 2018 I submitted a withdrawal of 27259 SEK (apx €2600).

On August 31st 2018 I tried to log in to my account to check on the progress of the withdrawal, but was not able to log in. Instead I was met with a popup informing me: "Access denied. For more information, please contact Customer Support"

I asked them what this was about and received an answer on September 1st 2018:

"Dear xxx,

We have now investigated your account and withdrawal, and we have decided to temporarily close your account for futher investigation due to breach of our terms and conditions.

We will notify you by email as soon as we have reached our decision.

Kindest regards,

The Betfinal Fraud Team"

Then another mail on September 7th, 2018:

"We are still investigating your account, and your account will stay temporarily closed for further investigation until we have reached our decision.

We will notify you by email as soon as we have any more information.

Have a great day."

Since then I have not heard anything back from Betfinal, even though I have sent them several emails during the last month asking for clarification and updates on my case.

Asking for your assistance on this case,
Thanks in advance.
