Believing the attached bonus terms on their website, I deposited my money and played. I won a $500 jackpot and some smaller ones and had a good amount of money in my account. Suddenly, while playing, my money was gone! I immediately chatted with customer support and this is what they told me:

(06:41:50) Alicia : Lisa, this coupon you redeemed is WELCOME200

(06:42:05) Alicia : You can play now.

(06:42:38) Lisa : Yes. As you can see, it clearly states no playthrough.

(06:44:47) Alicia : Lisa, I apologize for that but the rules are the ones I just provided you.

(06:45:39) Lisa : So you won’t abide by your advertising on your webpag­e?h­ttp­s:/­/ww­w.c­apt­ain­jac­kca­mpa­ign.co­m/l­and­ing­/50­fre­esp­ins­-30­00b­onu­s/?­aff­id=­502­5,t­=CJ­C6c­b0d­419­5ac­df5­355­cc8­c77­779­9f2­39b­,yc­id=­5,y­aid­=15­2,y­bid­=567947

(06:48:44) Alicia : Unfortunately the rules are the one I provided you.

(06:50:30) Lisa : It’s not your fault. However, you lost a customer and I will report this to the overseers and the forums. This is totally false advertising. Thank you for your time.

(06:51:37) Alicia : Lisa, we are working to improve that.

(06:51:45) Alicia : It is redeemed into your account.

(06:53:53) *** Lisa left the chat ***

Now please note the attached file that clearly states otherwise. I want my money! It's only fair when I deposited my money under their clear terms and then they scammed me.

Hi Lisa--

First, our support team would not be aware of what comes through affiliate advertising vs. our Marketing Department.

I absolutely invite your web investigator to look into the links. Please be sure to point this important bit out to him: ­a­ff­­id=­­50­2­5­

He can also do a whois search and I'm sure he'll be able to locate other sites owned by this webmaster.

Our terms for the first deposit bonus have never changed:

https:­//w­ww.c­ap­tai­nja­ckc­asi­no.c­om­/pr­omo­tio­ns.php

Sign Up Bonus Terms
Minimum 30 times wagering of deposit & bonus (excluding Roulette, Craps, Pontoon, Baccarat, with each $1 wagered on Blackjack and Video Poker counting as $0.50 wagered).

Each bonus is only available to players with no account balance and no pending withdrawals.
Offers available once per player and not valid in conjunction with any other offers.

If you'd like to confirm this, please go to: https:­//w­eb.a­rc­hiv­e.o­rg/­web­/20­130­719­204­510­/ht­tp:­//w­ww.c­ap­tai­nja­ckc­asi­no.c­om­:80­/pr­omo­tio­ns.php

So this is not your website?

Looks to be to me.

I will have a web investigator look into the links. Also, your own agent said, Lisa, we are working to improve that.

Withdrawal blocked after bank rejection with no alternative payment method

I am requesting assistance with an unresolved withdrawal of approximately $2,500 from Captain Jack Casino.

My account currently shows a Withdrawable Balance of $2,500.19, with a Bonus Balance of $0.00 and a Playthrough Balance of $0.00.

I provided Captain Jack with the requested identification, proof of address, banking information, and bank statements. My account ending in 7034 is my only bank account. I was initially asked to provide a bank statement showing sufficient transaction activity, and I subsequently provided an August statement that met the transaction requirements communicated to me.

Captain Jack later informed me that my account ending in 7034 could not be used for the withdrawal. When I asked for the reason, I was told that the Finance Department was unable to provide any further details and that I needed to provide an alternative bank account.

I explained that I do not have another bank account. I was then told that I would need to open a new bank account and establish account history and transaction activity before it could be considered. A representative later confirmed that obtaining a new bank account was the only available option.

I also asked about receiving my withdrawal by check because Check appeared as an available withdrawal method in my cashier. However, Captain Jack support informed me that Check was not actually available and that alternative wire details were required.

I filed a formal complaint with Captain Jack Casino on August 19, 2026 (Case #155855027). More than 30 days passed without a substantive resolution.

Captain Jack subsequently directed me to the Central Dispute System (CDS) for dispute escalation and provided me with the CDS website. However, when I accessed the exact link provided by Captain Jack, it returned a 403 Forbidden / Access Denied error. When I requested another way to contact CDS, Captain Jack support confirmed that they did not have a separate CDS email address or alternative contact method and that the CDS link was the only access point available.

Captain Jack later stated that $160 would be deducted as a non-cashable match bonus. However, the bonus had already been used during play before I accumulated my current withdrawable balance. My account now shows $2,500.19 as withdrawable, $0.00 bonus balance, and $0.00 playthrough balance.

I have cooperated with the verification and banking requests, but I still have no functioning withdrawal method. I am asking AskGamblers for assistance in obtaining a workable withdrawal method for my $2,500.19 withdrawable balance and clarification from Captain Jack regarding the proposed $160 deduction.
