Closed my accounts and ignoring any contact


5 years ago

I haven't played at Mfortune and their other sites, Cashmo, Casino2020, DrSlot, Pocketwin and MrSpin, for a little while. Around 2 weeks ago I tried to log into my account again but it said that my account was closed. I immediately emailed after failing to find live chat (seems they only allow livechat if you're logged in, which means if your account is closed you have no immediate contact) and I have received no further reply. I have emailed them again since finding their complaints email address, but I have still heard nothing back.

I received no notification or any reason for my account being banned. All I wanted to do was log in and make sure I had no remaining balances and that all my withdrawals have been processed with this company, as I do not believe my final withdrawals were sent.

I am not sure what step to take next and I saw others having issues here too, so hopefully I can get this resolved. Thanks

Hello HAZZALCFC97,

Thank you for your post, we are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the decision we made regarding your account.

Although we do not make requests for information which we could have reasonably requested earlier, in some instances issues may be highlighted after the accounts have opened which require further information.

As part of this process we had requested some additional information from you under the following T&Cs for MrSpin;

Section 11: Security
109. We reserve the right to ask you to provide us with additional documents as part of our Enhanced Due Diligence process such as proof of the payment method used and source of wealth. We may also request further proof of identification relating to the details you have used to register your Account. Any such additional identification will be kept confidential. We may request that you take part in a video call with us as part of this process. Where we deem it necessary to conduct a video call to conduct further checks, your account access may be temporarily restricted and any withdrawals will be put on hold pending receipt and verification of any documents requested by us. We further reserve the right to disclose your details, under certain circumstances such as those required by law. Further details on our identity verification procedure can be found in Section 4.

Section 13: Suspicious Activity
120. For the purpose of this Section 13, “suspicious activity” shall refer to where we have reasonable grounds to believe that you have placed a bet or a number of bets in suspicious circumstances or in contravention of these Terms and Conditions. Suspicious circumstances include but are not limited to:
a. where there is a disproportionate frequency and/or highly unusual pattern of play (by comparison with normal betting patterns) placed over a short period of time;
121. In the case of any suspicious activity, we may, at our sole discretion, depending on the situation:
a. request reasonable further information from you to investigate whether the bet(s) constitute(s) suspicious betting;

Regrettably on review of the information, in November 2020, we took action to close your accounts, this is possible under following T&Cs;

Section 13: Suspicious Activity
121. In the case of any suspicious activity, we may, at our sole discretion, depending on the situation:
b. suspend your Account and withhold payment of any withdrawals until we have receipt of satisfactory evidence (in our reasonable opinion) from you for us to determine that the deposits are in your name, that play is not fraudulent or any other purpose connected to our concerns of “suspicious activity”. For example, but without limitation, where we suspect that you have deposited funds via a mobile phone account which is not in your name or you are in default of settlement of your mobile phone bill, we may ask you to provide reasonable evidence that the mobile phone account is yours and that you have settled the mobile phone bill that you used to deposit funds before you can withdraw any winnings;
d. void or refuse all or any part of any bet, suspend your Account or withhold payment of any amounts (or any parts thereof), for a period of time that may reasonably be required (for example, pending any investigations by our Internal Security Team, a gambling regulator, a law enforcement authority or any other third party with jurisdiction).

I can confirm that we did notify you of this decision via SMS message on 19/11/2020.

I must advise that this decision still stands, and we will not be reopening your account.

King Regards,
mFortune

Money never arrived, waiting over a month for a solution

On the 30th of October 2021 at the time 22:25:49 I asked for a withdrawal on 500£ again same date but at the time 22:31:16 I asked for another 500£ withdrawal, so all in all I asked for 1000£withdrawal however it stated that for security reasons I could only ask for 500 in one go hence I did it 2 times, they asked for ID which I ofc send them on the 8th of October.

I reviewed a text saying thank you for sending the id and that I would get a message ones it had been verified, on the 12th of October I received a message from them saying congratulations on the win and that the money had been processed, however the money never arrived.

I got in contact with live support on the 2 nd of November and told them my concern and I send them bank statement to prove that the money had not arrived on my account, I was told they would forward this, however I didn't hear anything back other than another message saying thank you for identification and they would safe it to further use if necessary, about 10 days later as there had still not arrived any money I contacted live chat again and this time I was simply told the money had been processed on the 12th of October and that I needed to contact my bank.

I contacted my bank some days after ( I'm in cancer treatment so I don't react on these things as fast as usual) however got my bank contacted and they told me that no money had been tried to be payed out to my card or bank so they couldn't give me any info as the payment from mfortune nor inTouch games existed.

I then contacted live chat once again and first he asked if I has asked for a 10£ withdrawal which I ofc corrected him and told him not 10 but 1000£ all together, he took a look again and came back confirming the 1000£ and then telling me once again that it had been payed out on the 12th of October and that he did not know why the money had not arrived yet.

Once again he asked for a new statement to prove I had not received the money, I send that statement off as proof which was approved by him and told me I would receive a message from them, now we have the 30th of November and I haven't heard a word from them neither gave I received my withdrawal, I think it is really sad.

I have been very nice and polite through all this but I'll admit it feels a little like they are holding it back as they know I got cancer, so maybe they are thinking I might die soon and then no one will claim the money, that is my fault though as when I contacted them the first time I explained that I was going into treatment for cancer and therefore didn't have the energy to fight regarding getting my withdrawal payed out.

I hope I'm wrong but it does feel like they are just holding out waiting to see if I keep claiming the money sad but that's how I feel, I mean if they have trouble paying out to my debit card they could tell me and I would give them my PayPal instead.

Withholding funds for over 2 weeks

I am writing this complaint again in relation to the pending withdrawal issue I have had with mfortune processing team over a withdrawal request of £2020 which they are still holding for no legitimate reason as I abided by all the terms and conditions of Mfortune and provided them with sufficient information and documentation over the period of last 2 weeks in relation to the withdrawal of £2020 to be processed. I created an account with mfortune casino around 2 weeks ago and made deposits total of around £1700, after playing for a few days I have had a win of £2020 so I requested a deposit of full £2020 from my mfortune account to my debit card and as a result I was asked to upload my identification documents (photo Id, prove of address & proof of the debit card) in order for the withdrawal to be approved and processed successfully which I did but a few days later I received another message requesting further documentation but this time I was asked to upload a video with me holding my driving license and the bank card which I used to make deposits in relation to the same withdrawal of £2020, I uploaded the video identification as requested via the mfortune app on Friday the 22nd of October. On Monday the 25th October 2021 I received another text message requesting a further document this time mfortune requesting a screenshot image or pdf bank statement showing deposits to my mfortune account so I uploaded an image of the requested bank statement, a day later on Tuesday 26th October 2021 I received another message in relation to the same withdrawal of £2020 requesting a PDF version of the same statement showing deposits to the mfortune account I even provided that and uploaded the PDF document of the statement hoping that my withdrawal of £2020 would be processed successfully but unfortunately that did not happen, on Wednesday the 27th of October 2021 I received a phone call from the compliance department of mfortune asking me further information in regards to the amounts and deposits shown on my statements which I uploaded previously and I explained to the advisor in great detail about the origin of the deposits and he was satisfied with that and assured me that my withdrawal request of £2020 will be processed but once again unfortunately that didn't happen and on Thursday the 28th of October 2021 I received a further call from the compliance department at Mfortune this time requesting the source of my income and I as asked to upload any proof of my income or I am in receipt of any benefits so once I again I uploaded a PDF version of my bank statement showing the receipt of my Universal Credits along with that I also uploaded my universal credit screenshot from the www.gov.uk website with the amount and dates showing of my universal credit account hoping that my withdrawal of £2020 would be processed after that but yet again it didn't happen instead on Wednesday evening my mfortune account was blocked and when I phoned to inquire about my account and withdrawal of £2020 I was provided with no information or any valid reasons for the blocking of my account as I abided by all terms and conditions and provided more than enough evidence in relation to my withdrawal of £2020, so I would like to file an official complaint to the complaints department in order to receive my withdrawal and this whole experience from start to finish have had a devastating impact on my physical and mental health so I would kindly request the relevant department or person to assist me with my withdrawal request please if I don't get my money or if I am unable to resolve this issue in an amicable way then I will have to take this further with IBAS and with my local MP as this whole process has put me in a really stressful and difficult situation.

Mfortune Casino now answer from 24th of August

On 9th Aug I won £8000 on Mfortune Casino app. I requested a withdrawal and i was then contacted by Mfortune on 11th Aug to submit some documents to verify my account.

ID, proof of address and bank statement were sent to Mfortune on 11th Aug 2021.

After 7 days on 18th Aug, mfortune realised that they need additional documents. I uploaded additional documents on same day and on 19th Aug I received a confirmation message stating that they have received everything they asked for!

Assuming that they have got everything they asked for I was waiting for my final confirmation message to verify my account but to my surprise, I received a call from the safer gambling team (Todd)on 24 Aug asking for more documents!! It took them 3 attempts to figure out what is needed to verify someone identity!! I am sure there are certain checks needed to b carried out but I can't understand why it took them so long to finally realise what's needed and what's missing.

I would have provided them with all these documents in the first instance if I knew what was needed.

I was assured by Todd that within 24 hours my account will be reviewed for final verification and to release the payment.

Ever since 24th Aug, I am still waiting for the confirmation.

My account is now banned and I can't access it.

Every day for past 24 days I have been on call to an operator listening to the same automated responses.

I have been told to keep waiting. That's all I get after 24 days. No SLA is being met as advertised on their website. It has certainly been longer than 3-5 working days.

Certainly it shouldn't take this long.

I really need to get this resolved as it is causing me unnecessary stress and it takes me on average 45 minutes each time on long queue every day to get hold of someone for an update.
