Delays

On June 6'th I requested a payout from Casino Del Rio.

After verification process was done, on June 12'th they informed me by mail that the payment will be processed through bank draft that will be sent to my postal adress in 21business days.

Because the bank draft hasn't reached my address, on July 17'th I emailed them regarding this matter on which they adviced me to wait another week the bank draft to arrive.

After another request to their support team I receive next reply:

"Dear Engelbert,

We are contacting you with regards to your withdrawal.

We have now coordinated this issue with your bank to check the status of the cheque. Once we have received an update, we will immediately notify you via email.

Thank you and have a great day!@

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Casino Del Rio Support Team.

I don't understand how this could be possible as long as I didn't received the bank draft to deposit it to my bank.

On August 8'th they canceled the bank draft and founds were returned back to my balance.

After numerous e-mail exchanges on August 14'th they announce me that the withdrawal was processed by bank draft and that I have to wait 21 business days to receive it.

On September 12'th I am writing an e-mail to them to express my concern regarding this case on which I received the next response:

to me

Dear Engelbert,

We have sent you this email in line with the Bank draft sent to you last 14 of August 2013.

After the investigation of our Finance Department, we can confirmed that the Bank draft has been shipped to the address detailed on the bank statement you have sent us before and to verify again the address, the bank draft was sent to the address below:

Engelbert G***

Aurelienstrasse **,. Leipzig ****

We will be able to cancel the bank draft and send it to your address again however this will prolong the process and the waiting time. In our experience, we have not encountered any issues at all, most of our customers received their bank draft and were able to cash it out from their bank.

Please let us know if there any changes on the address specified on the Proof of address you have sent.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Casino Del Rio Support Team.

Email: [email protected]"

After that I e-mailed them and I got no reply by now.

I consider Casino Del Rio avoinds payment to me by using this method of payment. I am not able to check if they really sent the bank draft and they know it.

Also I requested another payment method to be used and they denied this possibility even I made my deposit using Neteller.

Casinodelrio tries to fool me in a very funny way. I signed up at that casino recently and they sent to me an email that said welcome to Casinodelrio and that I could claim a welcome bonus. I was contacted by a live support rep who said I could claim a welcome bonus of 200% up to 200 credits. I said I want to claim this bonus of 200% and the rep said he would credit it once I have made a deposit. I deposited 100€ and I asked the rep the credit the bonus. However, he said that I am not allowed to receive bonuses because of unusual bonus usage in my casino account. Of course I made a protest but it did not help. The rep said it was a decision made by the management after I deposited. hmmm, not sure if I should believe that but anyway I emailed them asking them to credit the bonus they offered me but they refuse to do so. they reason they said is:

"Upon investigation, the bonus has been blocked from your account only after
the bonus offer and your deposit have been made. This is based on the gaming
activities you had in one or more related online casino accounts."

Imo they cannot treat me this way. They offered me a bonus and I claimed it and so we have made a valid deal. They cannot back out of this deal once it has been made so they ought to credit the bonus now. And I do not know what they mean by gaming activities in one or more related online casino accounts so I do not even understand why they act this way.

Dear Team AskGamblers,

It has been over a month now. This story went like this. Over a month ago around end of March, I downloaded, installed and registerd at Casinodelrio.

I deposited 100 euros and tried to claim the welcome bonus. The customer support told me that I wasn't allowed to receive any bonus. Frustrated as I was, I still gambled some on Blackjack without receiving any bonus. And made my 100 euro's into 300 euro's. Hence I asked for a withdrawal through the Cashier.

I got this email from them asking some documents, which i have sended. I believe they were accepted, since they haven't emailed me back that they were declined. I sended this on 20 april 2011.

Afther that, I only got emails back from their support, that I wasn't allowed to withdraw anything, because they claim (their financial support) that I had received a welcome bonus and hadn't obligded to their terms and conditions.

I have emailed them several times, saying and trying to explain that i have never received any welcombe bonus, because i wasn't allowed to. Now they don't respond to any of my emails anymore.

This is what they email me (it's in french):

Bonjour David,

Vous avez récemment effectué une demande de retrait après avoir reçu un bonus.

Or, vous ne vous êtes pas conformé aux termes et conditions des bonus, car vous n’avez pas misé la somme totale requise et/ou vous avez placé des mises sur des jeux exclus (veuillez consulter la liste des jeux exclus à http://www.casinodelrio.com/fr/bonus.html#general).

Nous avons donc décliné votre demande de retrait et reversé le montant du retrait dans votre compte. Vous êtes prié de miser une somme supplémentaire de Belgium:wage ok, waiting ID,POA (Aneth 30 April 11)(T)

**BS aux jeux autorisés, avant d’effectuer une autre demande de retrait.

Basically it says that i had received a bonus (which i didn't) and that's the reason they don't want to pay me.

Anyway, I think this is really not fair and strange. First they say i wasn't allowed to receive any bonus. Now i have made a little profit and than they claim that i have received a bonus.

Please do help me. If needed i have made a printscreen of the transaction history at Casino Del Rio. Since it is a playtech casino, I understood, that if you receive any bonus it will show up in the transaction history. But on my printscreen of Casino Del Rio, you will see that i have only deposited and received no bonus and that I have asked for a withdrawal 2 time, which were all declined.

Hope you or anyone can help me. And do stay away from this casino. It is really a malpractice to treat your customer this way. I don't mind and completely could understand if there is some miscommunication. But not responding to my emails, is just really ... I prefer not to say that word here.

Thank you for reading.
