Deceitful behavior and confiscation of legitimate winnings
Hello Ask Gamblers
I registered on Boss casino on April 3rd 2019 and made a deposit of 200$. I played with the welcome offer they gave me and lost, however my bonus was still active due to Netent free spins so I was not able to claim the second welcome offer the same day. An account manager was able to cancel them the next day (Please see email below).
--------------------------------------
Account manager:
"Our Welcome bonuses have free spins for Netent slots attached to them automatically. The bonus closes when the wagering requirement is met or the balance is below 1EUR/USD, but also free spins need to be played with. Since the games by Netent are regrettably not available for players from Canada and you obviously were not able to play with them, the bonus remained open.
We have closed your bonus manually from our side and you are welcome to claim a new one whenever you wish.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it caused you. I have passed the information to our tech team and they are working on improving the procedure to make the experience for players from your country more enjoyable.
Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions"
------------------------
A couple of days later I decided to give the casino another chance and deposited another 150$ which I managed to turn into 1200$ after several hours of play. I checked my wagering and saw I had cleared the requirements.
Boss casino then emailed me with the subject "KYC reminder" asking me to provide them with documents to verify my account. I had no problem submitting them everything they asked me for. At this point I figured that everything would check out and I would be paid my withdrawal, but instead I received the most confusing email I have ever seen which made me completely question their business practice. The email is as follows:
"As you may know, our company is incorporated under the laws of Malta.
These regulations are the basis of the Maltese regulatory framework.

Prior to signing up on Boss casino I had checked other casinos which looked interesting to play on. Unfortunately on some of them when I tried to register there was no option to register Canada as my country and chat told me that residents of Canada were not allowed to register. After some more searching I finally landed on Boss Casino which had Canada listed as a country choice on their registration page. Not only was I allowed to register, but they also accepted both deposits I made with my credit card.
To summarise :
The casino accepted a deposit on 03/04/2019
A casino rep cancelled my free spins (for my first welcome deposit) saying that I was not allowed to play NetEnt games since I was from Canada, not mentioning anything about me not being able to play on the site in the first place.
The casino had 3 days to email me closing my account but they chose to leave it open.
The casino accepted my deposit on 06/04/2019 which I withdrew 1200.
Only after my withdraw request and sending my documents,the casino emails me to terminate my account.
From the series described it is clear to me that the casino would have allowed me to continue losing on their site, accepting my money up until the point where I would win something and they would then chose to tell me I was not allowed to play on their website.
AskGamblers, please help me receive my money from the casino, and please warn everyone on what kind of website they really are...
