Voided $3000 in winnings with unjustified accusations


My problem with this casino happened in October 2014. Yes, I probably should of said something on here earlier but I honestly did not think about it. Instead I went on Pogg and Casino scam report. (both of which were unable to help me) To put it in a nutshell, I spent a few thousand dollars at this casino over a few months and then went to withdrawal $3000. I filled out all the necessary questions (I gamble at many casinos online and have for 20 years) I waited and after about a week the money was still in my account. That is when I started to email and call. Finally after about a week of getting the runaround I was told that I would not be getting my money, and my account would be locked because I had various accounts opened with this casino. I was like..."What? What do you mean? I have not opened up any other account besides this one account"!!! I was absolutely amazed and could not believe they were accusing me of this. Again, I have gambled at Fortune lounge, Casino Rewards, 888, Belle Rock and many others over the years. I have NEVER been accused of something like this in my life!!! Anyway, after many many many many phone calls and emails I just got completely discouraged and gave up. What more could I do? I live alone. Nobody....absolutely NOBODY had access to my laptop. The only possible explanation I could ever come up with was that somehow, someway my internet connection got crossed with other peoples?? Is that possible? Has anybody ever heard of something like that happening? Anyway, I finally gave up and just thought of this as a right off and a horrible online gambling experience. I have also not opened any new accounts at any new casinos since this happened. I'm terrified another casino would accuse me of this when I've done nothing wrong. I literally went so far to tell this casino I would pay for shipping to send them my laptop so they could have their professionals go over it completely to see that none of these so called people were on "my" lap top. I know thats a little far fetched and quite unrealistic but when you are being accused of something you have not done....its very frustrating. The customer service I got from this casino was HORRIBLE. People were HORRIBLE. I gave them at least 25 of my account numbers from many other casino groups and told them to check to see if this has ever happened to me in 20 years of online gaming, but they were nothing but rude and unhelpful and completely unsympathetic. They had made up their mind and that was that. Anyway, that is what happened with me with this casino and please, if this has happened to anybody else out there....please let me know. Thank you.

Ok. I understand you don't really want to explain why I was accused of something I didn't do. I do get that. But shoot, it would just be really nice to know what went wrong (technical issues/problem with internet lines somehow crossing, dishonest employee that has been dealt with etc etc) But honestly, I do get why you would not want to say. I'm just very happy you resolved the issue. Thank you again. I'll contact Askgamblers to tell them the issue is resolved.

Wow. I am incredibly surprised! I was expecting a response back similar to what I went through back in 2014. Is it at all possible for you to tell me what happened and why Major Tom thought I had more then one account opened? (It scares me to even bring that up again....because I assure you, I did not) Anyway, As I said, I am in shock and very happy that your casino came through. Its really appreciated and it's restored my faith in online gaming for sure. (But I'll still be careful where I play and will always check them out with askgamblers first) Thank you very much, and yes, I will definitely come back and play with Major Tom. (I think in the future you will see that I gamble far more then this $3000 was worth) ;-)

Stalling Payment
I managed to build up a balance of about £700 at major tom in September, I submitted a partial withdrawal request of a part of the balance about 5-6 weeks ago, upon checking a couple of days later I noticed the balance had been returned. I assumed an I.T error so I resubmitted again and again noticed few days later it had been returned to my account with being notified. When I contacted them I was told that they needed verification documents, which I provided. On the 17th of last month (3 weeks ago) I was told my account was verified....I saved the live chat, here is an excerpt "MajorTom: thank you for holding, i see that the player security has verified your account ME: Thanks , so I should be able to withdraw a couple of hundred from my account now? MajorTom: yes you should be able to withdraw" So again I withdrew a partial amount and noticed this was on hold since, I have spoken to live chat support several times who just say this is with the payments team. I was told on live chat today that my withdrawel has again been returned to my account (again no communications received). I have been civil and polite during the past 6 weeks and provided everything they have required. After several weeks and several conversations my account remains open but I am unable to withdraw. There is no communication from them unless prompted. After hours of attempting to get this resolved I would like to raise a complaint with askgamblers in a bid to get this resolved Thanks S

Stalling Payout

Saturday 14 februari i won 400 euro in casino Major Tom and I made a withdraw of 400 euro . (The witdrawal was not showing in my transaction history). I asked on the chat wat identifcation papers were required and sent them by mail a scan of my pasport, of my creditcard and of a bill that was adressed to me, with my adress on it, as was told to me by customersupport at the chat. On monday 16 februari i spoke with someone called Mike on the chat to ask if everything was in order. Mike told me that he had to make a phonecall with me to complete the identicationprocess. So we spoke on the Phone, he asked some questions (name, emailadress, date of birth etc.) and told me that the identification proces was complete and that the money would be transferred to my banckaccount the next day. On thursday i asked again in the casino if the payment was done and spoke with Lee-Anne and she told me that my papers were not legalised and that i had to go to a notary public and get them all legalised. (This cost a lot of money). So is was angry and sent an angry complain mail to the customer support. I was answered by mail by someone named Craig and he told me not to worry and this was all a misunderstanding and they just didnt have an answer from the security department yet.

Then yesterday (monday 24 febr) i received the email hereunder and the 400 euro was transferred back into my casinoaccount. I witdrew again and now it is again 24 hours reversible. I dont believe they are going to pay me, and i would like to know if this is so, than i can stop worrying about it. Because this takes a lot of energy.

Greta here from Major Tom Casino.

Thank you very much for your query Iris, As you might have noticed your withdrawal was returned to your account. This was due to the fact that the banking processors at the casino were being changed.

We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience cause.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in this matter>

Kind Regards
