Failure to close account when requested


10 years ago
Even though I been in talks with Vegas Paradise on behalf of my Son, they now seem to be ignoring my emails even though they promised to help.

They received written permission from my son to discuss this matter for the simply reason I do not want my son to be more distressed then he actually is, due to this farce, although a small amount of money was taken, it has a great impact on my Sons mental well being.

My Son suffers with mental illness and I sent hospital records to the company as evidence and also offered to send a current letter from his Psychiatric nurse.

The complaint is my Son requested a closure of his account on 3rd February 2016, it also was clear from his email contents that he had a gambling issue like many with similar mental condition like my Son, and his account by law should of been closed with immediate effect when requested, but yet over a week later, they allowed him to make further deposits in to the account.

I doubt my Son was even mental in the right frame of mind to carry out such transactions due to the strong medication he is currently on but due to his mental problems, let alone make informed decision like gambling.

The site had a duty of care to its customer's, they failed that duty of care by not closing his account when requested to do so.

I still awaiting for sons bank statement for the days in question. Although just a shame the website failed to closed or addressed why they didn't close my sons account when requested to do so.

Also seems my Son had a 1 previous withdrawal and numerous payments to this website, just a shame they carried out no checks before this, instead they are asking for it all when a complaint has been made, making it more inconvenient.

I believe the total taken from my son since the request to close the account was £450, so very low sum , but it is the principal of the matter.

I do appreciate your help AskGamblers and good that websites like yours, that can raise complaints on behalf of people.

Account "temporarily closed" for seven months
Seven months ago(Sep 3 - 2017) I joined the casino and made a deposit of €30. I received a bonus of €20, and proceeded to play and win €1150, and the wagering was done. Submitted a withdrawal request of the full amount. Three days later I got a response claiming that I breached the bonus terms by betting more than 5% of the bonus amount received. So far so good. I clearly missed that part when I read the the terms and conditions. I just concentrated on keeping my bets below €5, which is the "standard max bet" for most casinos. The mail explained that my winnings would be confiscated, and my account would be left with the original deposit of €30. I didn`t like the decision, but realized that they had the right to do this. The problem is that I can`t login to my account and access these €30. Login results in an error message saying my account is temporarily closed. When contacting the live support chat I usually get the answer that the reason should have been explained in the e-mail. When showing them the e-mail, and explaining my side of the story, the support assistant usually says they will forward my issue to their supervisor. And later get back to me via e-mail. And sometimes they just let the chat "time-out". Today is april 13, 2018. And my account is still "temporarily closed". No mail, or other correspondence has reached me. And I´m getting pretty frustrated. I´ll attach a "print screen" of the original mail. Just to show what was said and agreed upon.

£259 withdrawal pending for days
I've had a pending withdrawal since the 4th of October, I verified my documents on the 2nd, and I've contacted the live chat team several times. Every time I have been told something different, 'Yes your deposit is coming', 'It will be with you soon'. Today I saw it is still not past the pending stage, so I contacted live chat again, below is a transcript of the conversation I had with 'Maria'. Please wait for a site operator to respond. Welcome to Live chat, You are now chatting with 'Maria', How may i help you? Joel: Hi I'd like to know what's going on with my withdrawal, it's pending since Tuesday and that's ridiculous, my email is < email removed > Maria: One moment please and I will check your account Maria: Please be advised that we have faced a current problem with the payment processor Maria: and withdrawals have a dely Maria: delay Maria: im sorry about that Joel: What is the problem? Maria: we are waiting too so this technical issue to be solved on monday Maria: technical issue with the payment processor Maria: it is not our company Joel: When can I expect a payout? I've asked several times this week via your livechat and I haven't been informed of this issue Maria: it is a separate operator that we are cooparate with Joel: So when can I expect my winnings? Maria: and they informed us with this techical issue Maria: i guarantee you that you will receive your withdrawal Maria: we will repaid the players Joel: When? Maria: but are waiting to give us the permission to use the system Maria: you understand that this is a much hassle for us Maria: trying to explain to players this situation Maria: we do not know the when yet Joel: I'm going to make a complaint on askgamblers, I can see that there are a lot of complaints on there Maria: we are hoping within the next week Maria: this problem it is the same with many company's that cooparate with the particular payment processor Maria: so your compalint will not get anywhere Joel: Then why was I not informed? Maria: i have clearly explained you Maria: nobody was informed Joel: I've been paid out by several casinos this week no problem at all Maria: not even us Maria: pleas just be patient Maria: and you will receive your withdrawal shortlu Joel: So your casino that is responsible for handling deposits and withdrawals has no control over paying out? Maria: i have nothing more to add Maria: Thank you for chatting. Goodbye. Chat session has been terminated by the site operator. I have no idea what is happening now, and I will attach screenshots of the conversation as I was not allowed to email myself a copy of the transcript. It's my first withdrawal so I was expecting the run around, but I have also provided an email proving I confirmed my identity. This is the absolute worst service I have ever received.
