Cool Cat Casino - Denied payment after email confirmation of approval

RESOLVED

Hello,

I’m writing this after I had my last conversation with the casino support team by chat.

I played a tournament that required a buy-in payment of $30.50 USD so is not a freeroll, but the casino says is a ‘ weekend tournament’, ok, so in their T&C they don’t have rules for this specific type of tournament as you can see on my screenshots of their T&C for tournaments, obviously, I played this tournament only after I had read this T&C because I’m an experienced player that doesn’t like “surprises” and I have learned a lot from previous experiences, anyways, so I won the first place that paid $1000 USD then proceeded to cash out, and after almost a month under review, I inquired about my payment, and the finance department after back and for conversations via email agreed to approve my payment as you can see on the screenshot provided, they specifically said and quote; “ We have updated the bank wire information in your casino account and approved your pending withdrawal. The payout process will be initiated tomorrow.” ,

So after a few days, I reviewed my account again, and surprisingly they had denied my payment apparently for no reason. I contacted them again, over the chat and I provided screenshots of everything proving that they had approved my payment before but now has been denied, they responded that the reason is that I have to wager x40 times my winnings, (Wait whaaaat?),

I emailed back to Anastasiia the payments department manager who had already told me the payment was approved days before, but I didn’t get a response.

I contacted again today the customer service chat and they told me that I had to wager C$54,666.40 dollars and that was the reason for my denied payment. The finance department had reviewed again my case and the rules apply for this tournament as told before, but I insisted there are no rules for this type of tournament on their T&C simply doesn’t exist but they said their system shows those rules, but not on my end…

So please can you please help?

The amount they owe me is &1000 USD = $1300 CAD

I played in this casino because I had read a recent review on your website saying that they had come out of the blacklist and they were better at payments and respecting the rules, so that’s why I’m here.

Regards,

Hi Liliana--

I apologize for the frustration you've been experiencing regarding this.

I'm a bit confused by the notes on your account, so I've had to send a query to our Payments Manager regarding this. As soon as I receive a reply, I'll be back with a full explanation.

Tawni,

Thank you for taking the time to review my account notes, kindly I ask for the oficial public links to the rules of the type tournament that your system says has restricted payouts and wagering requirements, if not provided I can’t see a reason not to process my previously approved payment

Thank you again for your time and consideration to my case.

Liliana.

Hi Lilliana--

I'm going to try to explain the situation with this...

Yes--you DID buy into the tournament, however, this was a special Weekend Tournament event. Winners in this tournament have to wager the winnings 40 x and there is a 1x maximum withdrawal.

As this was a promotional event, the terms were spelled out on the actual tournament buy-in page.

Until you wager the funds as described, you will not be able to make a withdrawal.

I hope this helps explain things...

Not true , that information never existed publicly, If I would have seen that I would have never entered into it at all since the very start, and second if it exist why you are not able to show a screen shot or log about it? Or oficial link to it?

Is not in your T&C or I’m I wrong ?, please probe me wrong..

Hi Lilliana--

I found out that you were invited to this tournament via email--it was the email which explained the terms.

I've sent a request to our Promotions Department (the email was sent through them), asking for a copy of this. Once I receive this, I'll post this for you.

Sorry for my last post that caused a misunderstanding,

I still do NOT agree that cool cat casino sent me an invitation to the tournament, I never got to know the rules of the tournament because I only found the tournament in the casino website no invitation needed and it never displayed any rules at all.

Hi Lilliana--

I've located the email, which was sent off to a specific group of players in an email blast. When you look at the email, you will see that it is in its raw state, as is the case with all email blasts--I'm unable to pull individually addressed emails.

What is important here is that you would not have been able to enter the tournament without this email invitation and the email itself states clearly the terms for the event.

I sincerely hope this will clear things up in this.
