Uses 'unfavorable list' as reason to not pay winner


I am just amazed at how flagrantly lucky Creek casino is going to any length to not pay up on a no deposit bonus I played upon signing up! Not only did I crush the terms and conditions they have on the no deposit bonus they gave me , I was at around 5 or 6 hundred at the time of my first attempt to cash out. At the cashier's I was told I needed to forfeit the current bonus I was using in order to cash out ,so I did and the money in my account was reduced to $198. I then was told by customer service I would need to refund the $99 the no deposit bonus was worth which now would leave me with $99 .my first thought was what about the 3 or 4 hundred I lost when I agreed to drop the current bonus? But $99 free bucks is pretty cool so I well ,so I agree and try cashing out $99. Well wouldn't u know it but their min. Cahout is $100. So I'm directed to deposit $20 the min. deposit they require in order to be able to withdraw the $99 because now I would be over the $100 min. Something didn't feel right and I decided I was gonna have to think on whether or not I really trust this place to give up my card info so I thought on it for a couple weeks during which I would check on my account balance I had with them which showed I had $198. I also started researching them by reading reviews and complaints from other people. The most frequent complaint I came across was that lucky Creek casino wasn't paying there winners. Then I read they had been operating without a licence but now had corrected the problem and was paying their winning customers so I went back to their cashier and I decided to give them my card info and entered ok to deposit $20 into my account.everything was fine they recorded my card info and registered it with their casino and it was all good. But then I was notified that my deposit of $20 was declined and no reason was given. I then went to their online customer support to find out what the issue was because I knew my card was good and had plenty of money on it so I couldn't think of what could be the problem. This is when I was told now by their support advisor that I wouldn't be able to make a deposit or withdraw my winnings because my name had come up on a unfavorable list so my account with them would be locked and I would no longer be allowed on their site. I was so confused I seriously have never done anything wrong on any website or anywhere else for that matter to be put on some bad list and that's beside the point what does a name on some other places list have to do with them paying me? I mean it isn't their list. I kept my composure and politely asked what the reason was I was put on this unfavorable list and the response was they were not at liberty to tell me. How confident of them to not be at librety to tell me why I couldn't be paid $99 free bucks and by the way when I had talked to customer support just a day before to get the information on what all I would need to show them in order to verify who I was to be able to withdraw money and at no time did this support person mention anything about a unfavorable list I was on and I know the advisor looked up my account because they told me they did at the start of the conversation.So pretty weird that just under 24 hours later I had somehow landed on a list that they would use against me to not pay up. So now I'm just so angry because I feel like theirs nothing I can do!! I can't even get on their website anymore to try talking to them and I also feel like they really were banking on me to play more instead of cashing out right away. I really feel like they only want players that have no control on their gambling habits and didn't like the fact that I was trying to withdraw all my winnings instead of playing more.I really like that their so on their moral high horse that if your on some other places bad list that they would not say why I was on it and what about it made them decide they couldn't pay up. I mean isn't this the same casino that was just operating without a licence? Please help me askgamblers.com at this point it's not about the money it's most definitely about principle!!! If you feel your opinion of some unfavorable list is so high that you would use it as a reason to not pay a customer their rightful winnings then you would think they would have no problem telling the patron what the list name is or who put the name into this list or where someone could go to find this list so the person can view it themselves or protest the reason that might be on the list. It's just bogus and I want answers and my name restored to what I am , an honest and respectful man with integrity!!!!please help askgamblers.com your my only hope!

Withdrawal not received and not getting any straight answers

On 8/14 I made three withdrawal requests each totaling $10,000 for a total of $30,000. I received email confirmations for each of the withdrawals. On 8/15 I made two reversals, one for $1,000 and the second for $2,500. On 8/16 I made a third and final reversal for $1,500. Following that my statement was updated with three withdrawals in the amount of $9,000, $8,500, and $7,500 for a total of $25,000.

I had completed the verification information and provided all the information needed for wire transfers. On 8/22 I received a wire transfer from a BofA bank account with no references that would associate it to Lucky Creek for the amount of $1,460. Since I have never received a wire transfer for anything before, I assume it's from them, but the amount has no relation to any of the three withdrawals. Giving the benefit of the doubt I waited till 8/25 to contact them having not gotten to remainer of the funds and no emails explaining what that money that was wired to my account was for and it was reflected nowhere on my statement on the site.

I have chatted with support 5 times now and every time they tell me something different. In the first chat on 8/25, I was told that the finance department had reversed the withdrawals and was told there was nothing I could do about it. The operator could not give me a clear reason and provided no account of why I had received a wire for a random amount of money. When pressed to speak with someone in the finance department to get clarification I was told they do not speak with players but would give me the same answer. On 8/28 I contacted support again to find out what is the status of the remaining $23,540.00 that is due to me. After a long wait operator Shanley came back and told me they are still awaiting feedback regarding my query. Then they tell me that once they have the detailed feedback, they will revert back to me or leave clear communications should they not be on shift.

They then ask for my patience regarding the matter till they have received the feedback. 8/30 still have received no response to emails or any information at all I contact support again. This time I get Jason. I informed them that I have not gotten any response from my emails and that I am still waiting on information on the account for $23,540.00 that is due to me. Jason informs me "You should get the winnings reflected on your account by the end of the week" They then state "Congratulations! 9/1

The end of the week has arrived and no wires have been received in my account I contacted support again and this time its Kerry. I stated its the end of the week that no wire was received in my account and I still have received no response to emails. I restate the amount that is due to me. Kerry asks me to hold while they look through my account. After a good 10 min wait a new operator logs in Madison who states "It seems feedback has not yet been received" I reiterated that according to my conversation on 9/3, I was to have received the funds by today. Madison says "I am not sure why you were told that" and "We need to wait for financing to advise on how to move forward" then states "I do apologize for the delays. I asked when I expected this feedback and Madison stated "We can have feedback Monday at the latest". 9/4 Monday. I go to log into my account to see what the feedback was today as promised and to my surprise, my account is now suspended. I got support and when I questioned this there was just no response.

This is no small amount of money and mind you while I was originally waiting on my wire transfers, I continued to deposit money and play all on the premise that I was to be receiving $25,000 that I had won fairly. I of course would never have continued to give them money if they had informed me that they really were not going to be sending me my winnings as requested.

This is the part that really amounts to nothing more than fraud. I Luckily screenshot all conversations and all my statements as they don't have a way for you to download them in hopes of a speedy resolution to this.
