I signed up to BOVegas casino on the 16th January and decided to deposit using bitcoin.
I am new to bitcoin but managed to fund my wallet and set it up correctly.
I tried to deposit to BOVegas using bitcoin using the wallet key they provided, however i did not know that i sent BCH to the BTC wallet instead of BTC to BTC.
I contacted support and all i have been getting from them is 'we dont have the funds we can't credit your account'
BCH payment sent to BTC will still arrive, but there is a process that the Merchant can use to retrieve the funds, up to this point, BOVegas have stated that the BCH i sent are lost and cannot be retrieved, however as a merchant with a public key and after seeking advice from bitcoin.com support, they have advised that they are able to recover the funds, even though an error was made on my part.
I would request that BOVegas retrieve the funds via a BCH backup wallet using the transaction code and details held below and credit my account or send the BCH back to my wallet.

If they are not able to retrieve the funds, i would like an explanation as to why. This surely must be a common issue and the casino must have a procedure in place in the event of this incident occurring.

@askgambler can you please keep this open whilst BOvegas provide you with above info.
Are you in agreement that BOvegas is acting fairly? I refuse to believe that this payment cannot be retrieved in any way as like I said they are the holder of private wallet keys and are able to generate a new BCH wallet in which to recieve the funds.

Hello SOUCH13,
Please take into consideration that Bitcoin Cash it is a split from the original Bitcoin blockchain.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are two separate cryptocurrencies and they operate on two entirely separate blockchains.
The address of the Bitcoin cash is totally different from regular Bitcoin address that usually starts with “1” or “3”. The Bitcoins cash format starts with “q” or “p”. It is impossible to transfer Bitcoin cash to Bitcoin wallet without exchanging the currency.
As for now we are checking whether it's possible for us to provide AskGamblers with any information in accordance with the privacy policy of the company as well as our provider.

i understand the above,
because you have the private keys for this wallet address and the chain code, you (or your provider) could technically retrieve these funds for yourself and i would not have any way of knowing.
I find this suspicious that you cannot provide any official response from your transcation supplier as requested from askgamblers
