Unfair confiscation of legitimate winnings


5 years ago
Dear Askgamblers.com,

I recently (31.07.20) made a deposit of 100€ with a 100% bonus at casinoplanet.com. I managed to get ~400€ out of the bonus and then played afterwards till I requested a withdrawal of 1000€. A day later my withdrawal got refused and my money confiscated because of a violation of bonus terms, specifically betting over 5€ single bet two times. They told me in 2 e-mails that it had been 2x 50€ bets.

I have to say that, every time I use a bonus in online casinos, I read the terms very carefully. Not betting over a specified betting size is normal and I didnt do that. What they referring to is the game "hot shots 2", with the function getting 50 spins of your bet size which I did twice. Its not a bonus buy and not a single bet. Its just 50 spins of your bet size, in my case 50x 1€, you see the spins and you dont get any guarantee of winning a bonus. Your RTP just moves from 95% to 95,5%. In addition none of my winnings resulted from that bets.

Casinoplanet.com has a complaint department with 2 steps which I all followed. First getting in touch with support. The live support told me that the decision is final and they cant do a thing. The second step is an e-mail adressing the complaint department, which I also did. They state in their policy that it may take up to 10 days getting an answer, now its 11 days without an answer.

I have a copy of the live chat transcript and 3 e-mails from support, if you need them.

Thank you in advance for having a look into my case.

Casino Planet - Delay with my withdrawal since September

There was previously an issue with this site around September of this year in relation to a bonus I had got on this site, from the bonus I managed to win around 840 pounds however they then stated after I tried to withdraw that the winnings were terminated due to breaching a condition.

A few weeks later I had gotten an email that I hadn't seen til recently due to country regulation changes, which states because of their fault for having the bonus buy on Starburst which shouldn't have been on their site for UK players they then stated I can now withdraw my winnings.

On the 19th of this month, I tried to withdraw my winnings and didn't let me so I contacted the site, they seemed to be helpful in responding and saying there was an issue with my bank card even though I deposited with the same card and further requested a bank statement and picture of my card for a different withdrawal method in order to withdraw the money and since I've sent it I haven't heard one thing back, and strongly feel like they are trying to delay my withdrawal and have barely had responses from this site.

I've never had any trouble with any other site in relation to gameplay or withdrawal and feel very strongly that they are trying hard not to give my money even after all the initial hassle that was caused in the first place. Now due to changes of this site I cannot log in also and find it very difficult to get a response.

Also due to not being able to log in I'm not able to check my username as I've forgotten it and have not used this site in ages but I use my email to log in always.

Help needed with account verification

I won £550 and went to withdraw as usual as I had done with no issues twice beforehand. I was asked to provide I'd I have given nhs letters,bills, tenancy agreement front and back of my card in selfie format showing me. Also as I am disabled I cannot travel or drive I don't have a passport the only photo Id I own is my disabled bus pass that clearly shows my photo Id and name and they still will not accept this they keep saying they need a citizen card? I am 53 years of age I don't go outside due to my cancer and disabilities I don't drink alcohol so I have never needed to prove my age. Each chat I do I get different information and they won't accept I have no more evidence to give. And now they have excluded me without my permission and blocked me. They say it's due to a comment and saying I need this money for necessities. This I not the case but obviously when you win something of course if you don't receive it your gonna be annoyed. I have asked for them to return the money to my account so I can then withdraw it to my new card as I had to cancel the one on file due to a fraudulent transaction made and since I asked that they block my account. I have tried to ask them to help and I get nothing but told to wait and wait.

I simply need them to allow me to withdraw put my account back to access and reverse the withdrawal from my canceled card so I can then add my new one and get my money and once this happens I no longer wish to use the site again. If they needed I'd why not ask when I first joined or made two withdrawals with no issues it seems the more you win the less there willing to pay out my date of birth is < birth date removed> I have fought in the war and have the scars to show I should have to beg for my money
