In short, I opened an account (declined all bonus's) deposited £475, then tried to withdraw £352 after playing for a bit. The withdrawal was cancelled pending account verification (passport and utility scan), which I sent off by email.
Lucky 247 then emailed to say my account is closed, no real reason given, and keep quoting clause 19.1 which says any losses won't be refunded, etc etc.
So I won't get the deposits back, which is fine, but the balance at the time of account closure is apparently lost as well, which I can't believe is right.
I've rang 3 times, emailed 4 or 5, apparently ' no further communication will be entered into..."

Dear all,
After carefully reading all your responses and T&C of the casino. In this case we can recommend to the player to contact a Gambling Commission LGA or eCogra, because this issue can't be resolved here. We try to mediate between casino and a player but if the casino is referring to their T&C we can't do anything.

I've just received another email from lucky247, they say this issue has been agreed and closed on this forum. I disagree!
Lucky247 are coting clause 19.3 which allows them to close my account, and confiscate the balance IF I have broken one of the sub clauses, of which they are 14. They concern having multiple accounts, using software, being offensive to staff, etc etc.
I haven't done any of these things, and licky247 won't confirm which they are basing their decision on.
As I see it clause 19.3 is actually my best defence against what has happened here.
The casinos view is I need to take this up with the market regulator!!
I still can't believe lucky247 would do this to their customers, I've got my fingers crossed this is all a big mistake and someone at lucky will see sense and just fix this without me havin to get involved with the industry regulators.

@askgamblers do you have any views on this, do you have any advice on how I should proceed? Have you seen this type of 'brick wall' response before from any online casinos?

I've just re-read marks email from above. After we spoke a few days ago mark said he would go back to the risk assessor and ask them to take another look at the documents. The feedback from that was that the risk assessor would not re-open the case, and their decision was final, so there was nothing more lycky247 could do.
This is totally at odds with marks last comment above where you explained the risk assessors view was just a contributory factor.
So can lucky247 explain why it has confiscated my balance other then for the reason the risk assessor wasn't happy?
Mark, please clarify the position.
