Complaint #7 Miami Club Casino

Locked account to avoid paying tournament win

By Roanan H.

12 years ago

I had an account with Miami Club casino for over a year.

AFTER I joined they added a new rule to their T&C's:
The Company reserves the right to refuse new account registrations from the following regions or states - Canada, New Jersey, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, Kentucky, Washington State, Maryland, Israel and Moldova.

I am in Canada, however I opened my account BEFORE this rule was implemented, and as it is written, can not apply to me because of this.

Approximately 2 months ago they decided to close my account, one hour before the tournament I was in first place in, was about to end.

I can only assume that this was to avoid paying out the winnings as the timing is very suspicious.

I have attempted repeatedly to deal with the casino directly, but their staff is very rude, and unwilling to see basic common sense.

Miami Club Casino doesn't accept players from Canada, and that is also stated on our website about this casino. It doesn't matter if player opened account a few months ago, this casino, can't provide any service to the Canadian players. This complaint is resolved.

No, this is probably never going to get resolved.
Apparently MiamiClub speak an entirely different version of English as the rest of us and clearly can not, or will not, see anybody's point other than their own.

Why are you BLATANTLY REFUSING to address the REAL issue:

Your rules DO NOT state "Miami Club does not accept players from Canada" as you just wrote.

It ACTUALLY READS:
"The Company reserves the right to refuse new account registrations"

MY ACCOUNT WAS ALREADY OPEN BEFORE YOU IMPLEMENTED THIS RULE.

Unfair Account Closure and Withheld Jackpot Winnings

Miami Club Casino closed my account after I won a Mega Jackpot of approximately $300,000, even though I had already repaid the disputed balance they mentioned. Before the closure, I had around $250,000 in my account. The casino claimed the shutdown was related to disputed funds, but that issue had already been resolved and fully paid back by me. I believe the decision to close my account and withhold my winnings was unfair and unjustified. I am requesting a full review of my case and a fair resolution regarding my account balance and jackpot winnings.

Customer service says they are not receiving my verification document emails

It's been almost two years since I first tried to withdrawal 400 dollars from Miami club casino. Won it from a litecoin deposit, no bonus or promotion used. They asked for verification documents despite the fact that I have already successfully completed the verification process and withdrawn in the past. They also requested banking card info from an old card I no longer have access to and is expired. I didn't use a card to deposit with and the last time I verified they didn't require card information because I deposit with crypto I reached out about it and just kept receiving canned responses. So I sent the all the other documents with an explanation for the missing card information and didn't hear back from them so I contacted customer service through chat on the site and they said they didn't recieve the documents from me. I sent them again. Never heard back. Emailed customer service and they said they never recieved my documents. I resent the documents multiple times and they kept saying they never recieved them. I used an email tracker that indicates if an email has been opened on the receiving end and it said they opened my emails. They eventually just stopped responding. I periodically try again every few months with no success. Hoping Askgamblers can help. Thank you. Attached are the emails between me and customer service.

Withdrawal declined by Miami Club Casino

Good day,

Hope you are doing well.

Would you please be so kind as to assist me in this matter.

I won money from Miami Club Casino, where I then requested a Withdrawal but in order to do that I had to go through the Verification process in which I did. I then received an email from them stating that my account had been verified but in order to Withdraw I needed to make a deposit for security purposes, in which I then made a deposit and played slots for a bit, then when I wanted to Withdraw they send me another email stating that I need to go through the verification process again, in which I did then they told me now all a sudden I failed verification??

This is really not acceptable and unethical.

Payment delayed due to extended verification

I have played on Miami Club in the past and already verified my account. Upon requesting a withdrawal they again asked for verification photos. I submitted exactly what they asked for.

Today the estimated time for processing the withdrawal is up and they emailed stating I need to send another document that was not requested to begin with and it will be another 3-5 business days.

This does not promote responsible gaming and is sub par in the industry.

Support and Security began to ignore me after withdrawal was approved

For over a week leading up to my withdrawal, Miamiclubcasino security and cashier were responsive and helpful. All the way up until the actual day of my withdrawal. Verification went smoothly and the BTC withdrawal was even approved by their cashier and confirmed from their support to me the day before. Strangely, the day the payout was supposed to happen. I cannot even log into the website (Even more strangely, the first time I tried incognito mode it worked just fine but every time after it regi9stered my IP, it oddly "could not load". I have emailed multiple times and have received no response. I had heard that this was a legit casino, but it does feel like they turned into a ghost town over a $900 withdrawal.

3 days after the scheduled pay-out, I tried to email their security @miamiclubcasino.im address and was hit with a "Delivery incomplete" error with Gmail stating that my email was being "rejected" by their server.

I'm hopeful they will do the right thing but am not optimistic.

Not paying for reason ''Negative Casino database''

Hello

I signed up with MiamiClub Casino on May 2018 and have been an active player which never won playing slots games. On Jan 2019 I finally got lucky and won for first time total $1300. After the withdrawal I received an email to send my personal docs but for some reason I have not been paid until now.

This week I sent an email to ask about my payment status since it's been over 3 months and received a very strange answer about my name being listed in " Negative Casino Database" in another casino, which of course its not true since I didn't gamble anywhere for past 4-5 months.

Below are the emails I received from MiamiClub Security Dept but they ignoring my last message and refuse paying my $1300 winnings :

Hello Marek

This is the first time I hear such excuse and I have no clue to which other casino

you mean. I did not gamble for the past few months anywhere

and don't understand what "negative Casino database " really is.

I believe you might have a mistake .

If your casino don't wish to have me as an active player that's OK but you

must pay my lucky winnings as I risked my money with your casino and won

Please advise

Rosamaria.

Closed my account with no explanation and with a $2,000 withdrawal pending

I had two dollars worth of money in my rewards account at Miami club. I somehow managed to parlay that into halfway decent winnings. I made several cash out request for $2000 each, and not wanting to reverse any of those, I had built up my rewards to another 50 or $60, Played with a that, and was able to cash out again. I think I ended up having about $6000 in pending payouts. The next day I was unable to log into my account, and was told that security was reviewing my account. I have no idea why as I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars there and play there Since they first opened. I was a millionaire club player. Nobody ever gave me a valid explanation for why my account was under review, and not only that they reversed All my withdrawals, And after a week or so opened my account again and said that I would not be eligible for the VIP bonuses that I had been. I was naturally furious, and got very vague answers anytime I ask what was going on and why they are giving me a hard time. I then deposited $25 Because they reopened my account and as angry as I was I wanted to see if my luck would carry. Between the $25 deposit and the 90 or 100% deposit bonus I got, I was able to cash out again. They paid 2000 the next day, Which is unheard of. I continued playing, and was able to Request another $2000 withdrawal. Within hours, they had to shut down my account again, and now they are saying that I have to review my account is closed permanently. They did not send my second $2000 withdrawal out, and there is no legitimate reason why they shouldn’t have, seeing as though that was generated as a result of a deposit I made, and no cash out restrictions were in place (ie, play through, free cash bonus, etc). I’m so mad I’m spitting nails right now and want everyone to know how they have treated someone who has spent well over $100k over the course of playing with them. I have cashed out many, many times and they arbitrarily shit me down with money still owed!!!
