Invalid Bonus Codes


Stay away from this casino. Every week they send out emails w/ fabulous bonuses. The problem is most of the time the bonus codes don't actually work. When I first start playing there wasn't such an issue. As time went on it got worse and worse. Now there's not even a phone number to call them. Seriously? It's really bad if you cannot even contact via phone.

The way they get is that you make a deposit, based on the bonus % you think you'll receive. Then you try to claim the code and it doesn't work. You contact Live Chat and they always have an excuse. Either, "The code is Expired", yet they just sent the email that day or the day before. Or "Oh that was a mistake in the email". This has happened now about numerous times now. Then they say that you can use another code which is much much less than what you were supposed to receive.

I know I'm a glutten for punishment, but I decided to give them another try today. This time I claimed the coupon code first and the system stated that it expired. The email with the coupon code was received yesterday, Thursday, 10/25/12. It listed several codes, one being 200% for Friday "FRIDAYFEST"; which I was trying to claim on Friday. Again I contacted Live Chat. After 5 minutes of waiting, Julie simply stated "the code has expired". I explained that that was not possible as today was Friday. I then waited another 10 minutes with no response and was like "Hello". After another minute or so Julie responded that she was busy helping other people. Really? So I said "That's not my problem. You should be responding only to me at this moment." and Julie replied "Please do not be selfish, we have to pay the same attention to all the customers"...."as I said, the promotion is expired".

This is beyond ridiculous. Besides given fraudulent coupon codes, they obviously do not care about Customer Service!

Deser Night Casino - Denied my withdrawal 180 USD

I received free spins no deposit bonus and I ended up winning $3000. However, under the terms of the bonus, I could only withdraw a max of $180. Disappointing, but totally understandable.

I chatted with an agent named Haven who explained the process for withdrawing the $180. I had to make a deposit of at least $25 and play through it, as well as get verified by sending in documents. I screenshotted the conversation and within the next couple of days, I made the $25 deposit and played through it.

I also sent in by email all 4 of the requested documents to get verified. I followed all instructions and then waited a few days before attempting to make the withdrawal of $180. When making the request I received an error message saying the amount requested exceeded the amount available, which was shown to be $0, despite my balance of $180.

When I contacted support again, a different agent told me that my withdrawal had been denied because it was winnings received from a no-deposit bonus without a deposit made. I explained that I had in fact made a $25 deposit using Bitcoin from a wallet registered to myself and I had played through the $25. The agent repeated that they reserved the right to deny a withdrawal from a bonus without a deposit and then they abruptly ended the chat while I was in the middle of typing a response.

I have the screenshots from the agent named Haven who confirmed to me that I was in fact entitled to withdraw the $180 after making a deposit and being verified.

I think it's really unfair and feels like a scam that I was told one thing, I did it as they instructed, and then someone else decided no, they were going to deny me my winnings.

Comes across as shady not to mention the rude customer service from the second agent who denied my withdrawal and ended our chat while I was typing a quick response to them.

Hopefully, a manager or supervisor can fix this and at least honor what their first agent said to me as evidenced in the screenshots.

Unfairly Delayed/Declined Withdrawal
Firstly I want to say that I love the customer service those guys are wonderful. I played a few weeks ago with a bonus code and won $400. I put in my request in for a withdrawal and received my check By Fed Ex. So I made another deposit this past Friday the 22nd and played with the same code and won a little over $2,000 this time and I played it down to exactly $2,000 and requested a withdrawal. I logged back in to check the status on Monday and it says that the withdrawal was processing. I checked my email this morning and the email reads your request to reverse your withdrawal has been accepted and your casino winnings have been credited back to your account. I then called customer service and the guy told me yes the check was processing. I asked them what was the email about I received this morning. He asked me to hold so he could research the account. He came back to the phone and said that I wagered more than the bonus code allowed. I explained that the increase amount button is not even an option. Those 50 free spins play on their own at .1 cent. There is no way it can be changed. I explained to him I always play the max of .1 cent which is $3.00. I won and cashed out a $400 check playing the same amount and the same code but now that’s it’s $2,000 they don’t want to pay. I log into my account and see that the email was not truthful and the winning were not refunded to my account for it only had a balance of $50.15 in which was the amount I had deposited. The customer service rep informed me that it was declined because of the wager about and I know that that can’t be the case because that reason is not listed anywhere in writing. I enjoy this casino and I hope this is just a misunderstanding that can be resolved. I have screen shots of all the bonuses used as well as emails. Please let me know what I can provide for proof. Thank you!!
