Discrimination, Failure to Verify Account & Account Closure
I have enjoyed playing at Gunsbet Casino several times and generally liked the casino and the variety of slots they have. However I put my first withdrawal through on 29/11/17, to then wake up to an email the following morning stating....
Since your documents have reached us, we've noticed, that you have stated incorrect country in you personal profile. Moreover, we do not accept players from Spain, France, United Kingdom and USA. We would like to clarify what was the reason of stating incorrect country when you registered in your personal profile?
Thank you for the understanding!
The withdrawal I put through had also been cancelled and returned to my Gunsbet account. I didn't understand this email as I do not live in any of the countries that the casino listed in email. The live help agent the night before had told me I need to upload my passport as proof of ID and screenshot of my Skrill account. I could only assume after reading this email that they had assumed that because I had a UK passport (as this Is where I was born) that I must still live there. I emailed back explaining that I have been through this with other casinos and that my address in my Gunsbet account Is my correct address and that I do live in Malta not UK, I also sent proof of this. I then went back to account to put withdrawal through again.
I was then shocked to receive this email back...
Your cash out was approved, but unfortunately our casino is not available for you. This decision was made in connection with the fact that you are a citizen UK. it does not matter where you live.at the moment.
Thx for understanding! Administration
My account with Gunsbet at this points was also closed by them.
Like previously said I have been through this before with many casino's but as soon as they realise I live in Malta and their restriction is with those players playing in UK they verify my account with no problems. I feel like I am being discriminated against based on where I was born.
I sent 2 emails complaining to the casino about this and asking them to double check this with the regulator as this didn't seem right but both my emails have been ignored.
I am also very annoyed as I had 100 free spins left on my account which I planned to use yesterday that I now cant access due to them closing my account. I also play at Loki casino of which they are linked to and have recently deposited there so surely I should have these deposits refunded if I genuinely cannot play at these casino's? and if my account is going to be closed then I should have compensation in regards to my bonus of free spins that I was unable to use? I only deposited there that night as thought the 100 free spins was a good bonus.
