Failure to recognize self exclusion

Hello
I opened an account with WildJack Casino about 10-12 days ago. I have never played here before, I came across the casino and decided to give it a shot. I easily signed up, provided all the correct information required and started to play. Over the course of 10 days, I deposited roughly $2000 at this casino. I didn't have much luck, so I decided to try out another casino. After looking through some reviews of sites I decided to play at BGO. Anyway, while I was looking for a new casino, I came across a site that listed WildJack casino and AllSlots casino as sister sites. Now call me naive, or new to online gambling, I wasn't aware that multiple casinos were all the same. I did a self exclusion at AllSlots about 2 months ago. So I know I will get multiple backlash from people on here, claiming Im trying to deceive this casino, but this is untrue. I signed up, gave my correct name, address, email address etc. I played for 10 days, spoke with various reps about bonuses, received emails, texts etc. Never once did they tell me I shouldn't be playing there due to a previous self-exclusion. But I am willing to bet that if I had of won big and tried to withdraw, my account would have been closed immediately. This is a rotten way to operate a business. Basically its win-win for them. They get my money, and if I win they confiscate. I demand a refund for my deposits. These sites claim to promote responsible gambling, fair practice, etc. yet for 10 days I was allowed to gamble with my own money, and they just let me.

Nowhere does it say this!!! You are a bunch of scam artists. You are a rogue casino brand and deserves to have all your accreditation stripped away. I have contacted ecogra and Mga. If you read through your comments you have posted you keep flip flopping. One minute I was self excluded, next I wasn't. I urge askgamblers to mark this casino as rogue. They don't even follow their own rules.

Our group's policy is that self-exclusion is brand specific unless the player specifically requests to be excluded from all brands within the group. You did not do so, and therefore it was not applied as such. Only in the case of exclusion because of an admitted gambling addiction will all accounts across all brands within the group be locked.

The casino's decision is final. Feel free to contact eCOGRA or the Malta Gaming Authority if you have further questions about our policy.

Best,

Yes this was a self exclusion. I agree that any winnings should have been voided and any deposits returned. They are aware of this self exclusion yet my wild jack account is still active. And they refuse to honour their self exclusion. They refuse to return my deposits and close my account.

Long delay in account verification & payment
I won at Wild Jack Casino 22 September 2016. On 23 September they ask for some documents, I sent the documents on 17 October (front and back of my ID, and a bill). They do not reply to me for a long time, I send more emails asking if they saw my documents, on 10 November they say they have my documents and verification of documents can take 24 – 48 hours during the week and 48 – 72 hours over weekends. I wait some days and then I send a new email, they do not reply. After 2 weeks, on 25 November there is an email saying the documents are not legible, they want more documents. So I sent more documents on 11 December (passport, photo holding my passport, a bill). They do not reply so I send the documents again some days later. They did not reply to that so I sent my documents again on 21 December. After waiting a long time I asked for an update with the chat on the website. The casino says they have all the documents and are reviewing the withdrawal. After that time I tried to speak to the chat instead because email reply from them is not useful. On 3 January chat tells me I am verified and will be paid in 48 hours. Chat always says the same, I am verified and withdrawal is coming in 48 hours. Eventually on 10 January I asked chat why they say this to me every time but do not pay, and then chat looks more at my account and comes back after some time to say my balance needs to be restored, and this is why my withdrawal has not arrived. And chat says “what you can do for your peace of mind is follow up again when the banking department is back in the office and quote this reference number: 98,405’’ Next I sent another email with the reference number 98,405, and the reply email from the casino said they are still reviewing the withdrawal. On 23 January a new email from them saying the documents have arrived for review. Please allow between 24-48 hours to receive feedback. But this email is months after I send any documents, and already I was told my documents were reviewed, accepted and verified. I talk to chat again and now they are doing a security check and I should wait for updates. I have been waiting 4 months for the money I won, I don’t understand why it would take so long. This is not acceptable. I can do nothing, only wait and hope the casino will pay my withdrawal.

Failed to stick to their own 'responsible gaming' policy
I have a complaint about the responsible gaming policy of Wild Jack Casino. Based on the information on their website I guess it's an important aspect of their poilcy: "We are committed to creating a responsible gambling environment by implementing and maintaining eCOGRA responsible gaming requirements, for the benefit of both players and staff. To request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, please contact our Support Center at any time. All requests to lock a casino account must be verified in writing by email. Once your written request is received, your account will be locked immediately". Saturday I started playing and I won 150 euros. I send an e-mail and asked if it's possible to get an 7 day 'cooling-off' period in combination with my first withdrawal. I got an answer back with information about account verification but nothing about my cooling-off request. After a while I couldn't resist myself and went on playing (I know it's stupid). I lost my winnings and deposit another 300 euros. Unfortunately I lost all this money. After I while I got an e-mail from casino support "I have failed to address the issue of cooling off as you have asked". I was not happy about this. But the story continues. After I lost my winnings and another 300 euros I send again an email with a request, but now I asked for permant closure of my account. Soon I got an email back from casino support "As sad as it is to process a request, we will respect your decision to close the account. I have therefore placed a default lock on your casino account and need you to confirm the following information". I send the information right away. They asked for my name, date of birth, address and telephone number. After my last mail I heard nothing back. But I was under the assumption that my account was closed. Today (Tuesday) I found out my account was still open and there was no lock at all. Again I was not wisely and deposit money. I lost another 300 euros. I think Wild Jack Casino has the responsibility to protect players. I asked multiple times for exclusion, but Wild Jack Casino failed badly. I hope WIld Jack Casino can give an reason why their policy is so badly. I think it's fair that I get back (a part) of my losings.

Stalling verification and payment
I beg for your help. A few months ago,I first met All Slots casino and made a first deposit of € 100, within two - three months I have done a few more deposits, then I realized that they are a group of several casinos, opened accounts and in All jackpots and Wild jack. In these three casinos I've deposited amount at least 3 times greater than that which they still do not pay me-300 euro. Тhe amount was over 800 but in the pending period fell dramatically.They say that my account has not been verified, because I have not been sent the necessary documents. Everything I was sent several times, even a picture postcard they sent me to '' unconfirmed '' address in December 2016 for the Christmas gift of 10 free spins that can not use it if you do not charge the code from the same that postcard.They continued to send me letters of necessary documents showing my address. I live in my mother's house since I was born, monthly bills for electricity, water and home phone are in her name.For this purpose I have sent the bill for the cell phone with my address and bill for TV, Internet, again showing the address of where I live .I sent them the letter from Skrill even. Even after another letter from them, I went to my bank to take a bank statement. And i still not receive the money from them. My accounts in other casinos, and they are not few(All 30 casinos in Casino Rewards, Vegas Partner Lounge, Cabaret casino, Lucky 24/7) confirmed with far fewer documents and much faster. In all I had big losses but also good profits.
