Refund still not received

Hi, i signed up to fortune clock casino about 6 weeks ago. Despite being told on live chat that UK players are welcome i since found out they didn't have a UK license so are therefor breaking the law which the ukgc state casinos without s UK license srr prohibited to provide s service to UK players. I asked for a refund and was told i would receive it. I deposited 175 euros but i agreed to compromise and we agreed on 100 euros. The reason i agreed to compromise is based on the fact i probably should of done my research before joining and not just taking the operators word for it that UK players are fine to join. In order for me to receive a refund i had to send in various documents including my driving license utility bill and front and back of my card. This was understandable. Despite being told i would receive my 100 euro refund its now been 5 weeks and im yet to receive anything. All i get told is "payments team have my request".
Here below is the evidence that i was told i would receive this refund. Im worried i may have been scammed. Im also worried that now they have all my documents and bank cards this may be used unlawfully. Please can you chase this up with the casino please. Many thanks.

AskGamblers Complaint Team would like to use this occasion and remind the player that according to the operator's general terms and conditions, it appears that players from the United Kingdom are welcome to play. This means that the player was perfectly eligible to request a withdrawal and get their winnings if s/he had won while playing in that casino.

Considering the fact that the player confirmed the receipt of the disputed (previously agreed to) 100 Euros refund, AskGamblers Complaint Team believes that the mutual agreement has been reached.

Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved and it is now officially closed. While we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

Dear ASKGAMBLERS team, where do we go from here? I truly hope no one else falls for this casino.. I gave them every opportunity but they kept putting it off until i responded on here.. They said it was due to verification process yet my account was verified after one week.. I can't begin to explain what it's been like trying to deal with this casino.

If you read my complaint from the beginning my argument is the fact i specifically asked live chat if you accept UK players.. A responsible casino would of stated ' please refer to the terms snd conditions'.. Yet i was told UK players were accepted. Now your full aware according to the UKGC it is illegal for non UK casinos to allow UK players on there platform without a license. Im not the one breaking the law here.. It has nothing to do with me losing the deposits. I play at many many casinos and expect to lose.. Fortune clock casino has shocking reviews. Many of which are related to scamming. I gave your casino an absurd time of over 6 weeks to resolve this. You blatantly ignored this until i complained on here and alerted my bank. I deposited 175 euro at this casino and as your the ones breaking this law i believe i am entitled to a full refund of these deposits. As stated 5 weeks ago i was willing to compromise on 100 euros.. Because i didn't want the stress. But the stress and anxiety you have put me through means i will fight for the full amount. Its gone on too long.

Withdrawal and Account issue which lasts 60+ days already

Good Morning,

I have had an issue with Fortune Clock Casino which has been going on since early May.

I (stupidly) opened an account with them as I was in a bad place and was desperate to find somewhere that accepted credit card deposits. In hindsight, not my finest hour.

I subsequently had some wins, had some losses, turned over all the bonuses that I needed to and eventually ended up with 300 Euros. I sent them all the relevant verification documents. Photos of my cards, photos of utility bills and a photo of me holding my passport. After doing this I see that everything I needed to provide was accepted, so I tried to make my withdrawal. This was rejected. I was told I needed to send photos of the backs of my cards with the CVV Hidden. I did this and sent another withdrawal request. Rejected again. I need to use the card I deposited with. Fair enough, tried that. Rejected. Tried the other card. Rejected. Was then told there was a technical issue and to use my bank. (I’ve since seen this is a common one!) I tried that. Rejected again.

It was at this point I sought out any further information and discovered the review site for them and found countless horror stories (which you’ve probably heard a few) of people essentially saying that this company will not pay out any money and is basically a scam. So now in my frustration I send them an email telling them how I felt and that I wanted them to close my account (Email A).

I then received an Email back telling me that my last request was rejected because I hadn’t verified my IBAN. Something which had never been mentioned at all. (Email B)

Then I received an automated Email asking if my query was still open. I dejectedly said that I’d given up and that they’d asked for information that they hadn’t before. Their reply was that I can re-open my account and verify. (Email C) I requested that they do this and received an email telling me that they will create a request to do so. (Email D)

Now, this was on the 12th of May. 62 Days ago. Which is essentially what my problem is. I have sent numerous Emails and made one phone call to try and get this issue resolved. To which all I’ve received is messages telling me to be patient and that they can’t put a time scale on this things, which I just cannot get my head around. Nothing takes this long. Do they not have a ticket system in place. I know in my heart that I’m just being strung along again but I just don’t understand how they can get away with it. I’ve even had Emails asking if my gambling is under control, and that my account would soon be unblocked, despite this not being the issue in the first place. (Emails E & F) Unsurprisingly, this didn’t happen. I’ve also had an Email saying my account would be unblocked within 48 hours. (Email G) It wasn’t.

I’ve got at least another 20 Emails all stating the same things, and I’m really at my wits end. I don’t particularly want the account open. I just want my money. I’ve realised that it was my stupid mistake in the first place, but I’m really struggling at the moment and this would help out a lot.

So that’s the story. Any help in any way you would be able to provide would be tremendously appreciated.

Kind Regards

Won't accept evidence from my card details

I have played this casino a long time, so I used a temporary credit card until my new card arrived in the post.

My new card arrived on the 22nd may 2022, so I started using my new card. From the 16th to the 18th I used my temporary card which is virtual so I typed in the card details and it accepted payment, so last week using my own bank account card I deposited, I won some money and decided to withdraw €400, I was rejected and ask to verify my I didn't realize my credit card was automatically stored so they wanted verification. But also wanted verification of my temporary card, so when I went into my banking app and I had no access to my virtual card, just my new card, I went on then to my statements which I uploaded to FortuneClock, it showed all dates and times I used my card on the casino, at the top was my new credit card number.

So I went into the older transactions to find the temporary card and it showed the card number on that only problem was I couldn't screenshot due to security , I explained this numerous of times to support on FortuneClock but they were adamant they wanted proof of the temporary card, so I contacted my credit card company, who said they couldn't provide any statements for the temporary card as its deactivated automatically once my new card arrives, I've screenshot the chat with the credit card team, the credit card team told me they would send me a headed letter to my email to send to FortuneClock to prove it was my card, it had the dates used it, the card number and my name and address, and they refused it saying they want a statement, but nobody seems to listen.

It's very stressful, I have tried everything I can to verify this card.
