Freeze account keeping £1k


Played at Metrocasino, I deposit £1000, I get down to £217 or something and they lock my account as unverified, I tell them I have no documentation to provide to them and they cannot verify me otherwise therefore they should be refunding me my original deposit back.

Today they email me after lots of messing about telling me that my account is locked as unverified but they will only be returning to me what's left in my account. Correct me if I am wrong but they should be returning to me the FULL deposit of £1000 or they are clearly allowing an unverified casino user gamble money which is NOT verified. So METRO casino you cannot do both.

Therefore either unlock my account as you seem to have information regarding otherwise that you can just release what is left as my balance from my initial deposit or refund my £1000.

This is damn right fraud.....

Casinos online these days - the majority are nothing more than legal scam artists. Some, like this one. I wouldn't even call legal. Not even by their own license laws.

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to your customer.

As a matter of course we do not discuss specific details of customers’ accounts however I can divulge the following generic information regarding player verification which can also be found in our Terms & Conditions, https:­//a­cco­unt.me­tro­pla­y.c­o.u­k/t­erm­s-a­nd-­con­ditions

As with all reputable online eGaming Operators, we are required, by law to verify the name, age and address of all of our depositing customers.

To make this a hassle free experience for our customers we carry out a number of online checks. Where we are unable to verify the customer online we request verification documents from the customer, the same process you would follow if you were opening a bank account.

We know this can be a nuisance to some customers so we allow a discretionary grace period where the account will remain active until those documents are received. If they aren't received within that time period we apply a suspension to the account.

As soon as suitable documents are received the account is reopened and the balance at time of suspension immediately available to the customer.

Where the customer refuses to send in documents and we are unable to verify the identity of the account, a refund of the remaining balance is returned to the customer.

In the case detailed in the post above, an e-mail has been sent to the customer and should he have any further questions, I would invite him to respond where I will be happy to help.

Metro Play Casino did'nt pay my winnings!

This is a difficult one but I know with all certainty that I'm being conned here. Anybody that has played 300 shields will know what I'm talking about here. I truly feel I'm being robbed here and I don't think I have any way to prove it from my end. Personally I think because I was wagering a deposit bonus they put a secret limit on my winnings and are trying to worm out of it. I'm fuming. Please bare with me it's a bit of reading. I'll firstly paste in my email I sent to them after their customer service couldn't solve the problem

On the 16th of may 2013 I was playing the game 300 shields when a large amount of winnings were not paid to my balance. If you look at my game history I started playing 300 shields and got 3 shields on my first spin. this give me free spins with multipliers up to 300 x. If you look at my history on your end you will see that after the first initial spin the next 20 were free spins so my balance wouldnt have reduced over those 20 spins. The first 5 spins would have been at x2 the second five at x5 the third five at x 25 and the fourth five at x300. Now, I've looked at my screenshots and I don't know why it says 50p stake next to each spin because nothing was bet after the initial spin as they were free spins. Surely you can see on your end that after my first spin on 300 shields my balance did not reduce for the next 20 spins which means I definitely hit the 300x multiplier and had a few wins! I should be around £600 up by my guess! There is also 3 spins missing from my history! the last 3 (funnily enough) where there was definitely a win or two! I know for a fact I dropped 2 shields in at least twice in my last 5 spins. thats £600. I feel I'm being purposely robbed here and the more I think about it the more it all seems a bit fishy! Missing spins from my history? My history showing that I staked 50p on each spin when they were in fact free spins. something is not right and I won't be letting this go until I recieve the winnings I'm entitled to. Again the easy way prove this is look on your end and you will see that after the first spin the next 20 were free which means i definitely got to the 300x multiplier and I definitely had a few wins in that section. I'm attaching my screenshots from the day but I really feel they are useless as they don't accurately reflect what happened. Like I said, fishy. Please can we reslove this asap.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear xxxxxx

My name is Ben Looijenga, I am the Operations Manager at Metro Play and I should be grateful of the opportunity to respond to your query which has been escalated to me.

I have reviewed your game play and the full game reports from our internal system and that of the specific game provider.

Unfortunately the 2 reports are consistent and show that you didn't ever reach the 300x multiplier.

I appreciate this isn’t your desired outcome however on this occasion I am unable to grant any further payment due to the findings.

For your information, all games that feature on our site are run using a Random Number Generator which is fully audited and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

As my colleague explained to you previously, if you wish to take this matter further please follow our complaints procedure found here: https://account.metroplay.co.uk/responsible-gambling

Kind regards

I understand this is a difficult one because if they want to hide or altar anything on their end they will but I refuse to give up on this. I will move hell and high water to prove this and get what is owed to me because frankly its a complete joke and no gambler deserves to be treated this way.
