Misleading bonus offer

I received and email with an offer of deposit £20 get 100 free spins on mega moolah. Which in took up. Its says bonus offered as £50 for 100 x 0.50p spins on mega moolah. I played my deposit and waited in bonus being credited and went to play mega moolah and no bonus funds or free spins....so I spoke to chat who said you'll need to redeem the bonus points from your casino rewards account. But this wasn't made clear in the email, just that it would be a £50 bonus to use on mega moolah as free spins and that standard terms and conditions apply. The thing is I can't redeem my points as I'm not allowed until I deposit more money. So I've lost this bonus, had it been made clear it was a bonus of casino rewards points I would never had accepted it and deposited £20 as i knew I was bonus banned. Why would I go for this if I knew I couldn't actually get to use it? Extremely misleading and I'm not happy. Other casinos would have the bonus as actual free spins on the specific game it was For! I bet there are other people who are bonus restricted and have had this happen too and found they can't actually get the free spins!

I agree it should be closed, I replied to say I looked at the email again and reread it. I admitted I never read it properly in the first place. I read it on my phone, without my glasses on and genuinely didn't see that. I know how the points work and you can't use them if you're banned. So I wouldn't have complained if I'd knew for sure it was points. After submitting my complaint I noticed I was wrong and emailed askgamblers to tell them. By the time I got to actually reply via the link to the post you'd already replied. So I'm admitting I was wrong, the complaint should be closed. There is no need to be cheeky. I know you deal with chancers all the time but I'm not one of them. I've had success with CR and haven't tried to con them like so many others try to do. As I say, a mixture of poor eyesight, small writing and haste caused me to misread the small print.

Hi player

You specifically said,

"But this wasn't made clear in the email, just that it would be a £50 bonus to use on mega moolah as free spins and that standard terms and conditions apply."

"So I've lost this bonus, had it been made clear it was a bonus of casino rewards points I would never had accepted it and deposited £20 as i knew I was bonus banned."

"Had it been made clear it was a bonus of casino rewards points"

The terms that state they would be allocated as Casino Rewards points were in the same location that said standard terms and conditions would apply. So you've seen one but not the other?

I have simply pointed out that this fact was made clear twice and that you had to tick the box the second time to say that you have read, acknowledge and accept these terms.

There is no fault of the casino here so the complaint should be closed.

Hi there Yes shortly after I'd sent the complaint I double checked the email and saw it states the bonus would be in my CR account. If I'd noticed this at first I'd never have taken the bonus as I knew I was bonus banned. My fault for not reading the very small writing properly. If you read my complaint you'll see I acknowledged the fact I was bonus banned no need to point out I was told this a few days ago.

Dear Player

The following terms were located at the bottom of the email you received, as well as on the page where you opted into the promotion:

* Starts: 27 February 2015 at 00:03 GMT.
* Ends: 3 March 2015 at 23:59 GMT.
* Valid on one account only.
* Player must Opt In to the promotion prior to depositing to qualify for this offer.
* FreeSpins fulfilled within 2 hours of deposit to CasinoRewards account as a €£$50 bonus.
* FreeSpins valued at 50 cents each.
* Player must deposit €£$20 or more to qualify for FreeSpins.
* Mega Moolah Jackpot amount correct at time of writing.
* Standard terms and conditions apply.
* This offer may not be used in conjunction with any other offer(s).

Looking at the notes on your account, it seems you contacted support a few days earlier and were informed of the inability to claim points from your CR account so you were aware of this prior to making the deposit.

As always, it is the player's responsibility to read all terms and conditions of a promotion, and by pushing them twice the casino ensured there was 2 opportunities for the player to read them before opting in and depositing.

Cheers

Blackjack Ballroom Casino Complaints

The casino has blocked my account and is refusing to withdraw
Dear Sir/Madam! I, as a Blackjack Ballroom Casino player, really need your help in resolving a problem that has arisen.

The casino, in its sole discretion (without giving specific reasons), has blocked my account and is refusing to withdraw my funds in the amount of $3,205.

For my part, all the requirements of the casino have been met: I have provided all the documents that you requested, in all my actions I was guided by the rules of your casino.

On March 01, using the link that the casino sent me, I uploaded a passport (identity document).

On March 11, I was unable to download the document from the link and sent a utility bill (a document confirming my address of residence) by email.

On March 23, I uploaded a utility bill from the link.

On April 08, I managed to log into my account - my account was blocked. On the same day, I wrote to the chat asking for clarification. An employee of the casino recommended that I write an e-mail - on April 08, I sent a corresponding message by mail.

On April 27, I wrote a message to the casino asking if the verification of my documents was completed, in connection with which my account was blocked and when will I receive my funds?

On May 09, I received a message from the casino that “Due to the current regulatory framework, we cannot allow further activity on your account and cannot process your withdrawal”.

On May 09, 05, I sent a message to the casino in the hope of getting answers to the questions asked on April 27.

On May 28, without any further comment, the casino reported: “Due to the current regulatory framework, we are unable to allow further activity on your account.”

On May 29, I sent a claim to the casino, to which I still have not received a response.

Additionally, I inform you that my account was registered on November 21, 2021. The casino was aware of my country of residence, and, nevertheless, the casino allowed me to make three deposits, and make multiple withdrawals. I was not informed of any restrictions.

It is also not clear to me what regulatory framework the casino is guided by. Why is my $3,205 withheld? because I followed the rules of the casino and did not allow any violations.

I ask you to help me understand this situation and return my 3205 US dollars.

$3,205
Refusing to pay out my money in the amount of $2,820
Dear SIR/MADAM! I am sending you an official claim to Blackjack Ballroom Casino. The casino refuses to pay out my money in the amount of 2820 USD.

During the verification of my gaming account, I provided the following documents:

02/17/2022 - passport, utility bill;

03/05/2022 - bank statement;

03/08/2022 - updated bank statement;

03/11/2022 - an extract with a highlighted marker in the paint program of my full name, postal address and date of issue of the document;

03/21/2022 - a new photo of the statement in accordance with the requirements of the casino, the data in the letter were also additionally indicated: full name, postal address and date of issue of the document.

02/31/2022 - the requested documents were re-sent in good quality.

In response to my inquiry about the results of the verification of the documents I sent, on April 14, the casino reported that the casino could not process my withdrawal of funds due to the current regulatory framework.

On the same day - 04/14/2022 - I sent a message to the casino in the hope of getting an answer to my questions - “What kind of regulatory framework are we talking about? What does this base have to do with the withdrawal of my funds? Is my account verified?

On 04/29/2022, I reminded you of the need to respond to my message of 04/14/2022.

Due to the fact that the answer was not provided, the funds in the amount of 2820 USD were not credited to my wallet, on May 26 I submitted a claim to the casino.

I studied the reviews of this casino, considered it reliable and trusted my funds.

The casino, in turn, acts against me unlawfully: unreasonably withholds my funds; does not want to discuss the problem with me; does not report the results of the verification of my documents.

I also inform you that I do not support the policy of the leadership of my country and, due to the economic sanctions imposed, my family found itself in a difficult financial situation. I'm not asking for help, I'm asking the casino to credit my wallet with funds that legally belong to me - 2820 US dollars.

I ask for your help in resolving the current problem.

winnings have been voided and confiscated

I am writing my experience with Casino Rewards just to have some explanations, I am new with online casinos, I started on September with nostalgia « casino rewards group » I played on all casino of this group and lost about 13200 US$ in this group,anyone can verify my statut at Nostalgia, I was a VIP Gold member everything was ok as I have never made any withdrawal, until 13/12/2013 I registered with Blackjack Ballroom, play the one hour free, deposited 20 from my verified neteller account (always use the same deposit method in all online casinos), I got 120 US$ in my balance, after 9 hours of playing, I finished my wager of 3600 US$, and still got 500 US$ in my balance, I decided to try the first withdraw with this group, I received a mail that my withdrawal will take 2 working days.

After 3 days I contacted the online support, he asked me to send some documents to verify my ID, I sent « copy of my National ID Card », « Screenshot of my neteller personal details », « copy of my bank billing », and after 5 hours, I re contacted the online support just to know if they have received my documents, and he asked me to send them «an unfiltered screenshot of my neteller history transactions», I was surprised about what he was asking me to send, but I did it and sent them all they needed, after 2 hours I receive a mail that said« We have reviewed your documents and audited your account. It appears that you exchange funds with other players at Casino Rewards and this practice is regarded as fraudulent. ».

I sent them a mail explaining that the one to who I send my money is my little brother and sister, and I could prove that by sending them even their National ID Card too, because I always send them money by neteller account for their needs and that was our family matter, mean my private life, my sister is not a gambler and has never played in any casino online or other and my brother has never played at the casino blackjack ballroom, but I received a mail from them (We would like to remind you that it is your responsibility to read, understand and accept the Terms and Conditions prior to registering a real player account. It is clearly stated in our terms that in the event funds have been exchanged between Casino Rewards members the winnings will be void. Having said that, although your intentions may be genuine, the same rules applied to all Casino Rewards members apply to your account with no exceptions. I'm sorry for your disappointment however you are clearly in breach of our terms therefore we have auctioned your account accordingly), I want to understand if this group has the right to interfere in the private lives of players and their families, just to keep in mind, I don't know any player at any online casino, and I am not in need to send money to anyone appart from my own family.

Risk management complaint

Hello there, I wonder if you could help. I had a complaint regarding this casino and a problem with a withdrawal which I did not agree with. I was told to send an e-mail to CR risk management team, however they have completely ignored me and keep blocking my e-mails. I know they have an official complaint procedure but I don't know what it is or where else to go. Can you help please?

Sorry I'm unsure how to attach a screenshot

Hello,

I am writing regarding an ongoing dispute which I have taken up with you today regarding your Blackjack Ballroom casino. I think you know the reason for my complaint by now however I would just like to assure you that I can prove I did not have any open accounts with your associate casino sites (not that this is against your rules there is nothing whatsoever to state this is against the rules as I have read and re-read your bonus terms and this is definitely not mentioned). All of my accounts were closed by my request as you will see from the forwarded e-mail.

I definitely did not have a multiple account with Blackjack ballroom as you have stated and as I stated in my previous e-mail if you do not process my withdrawal request for £800 I will be taking the matter further.

Please reply to my complaint a.s.a.p or just have the courtesy to state that you have received my e-mails sent today and you are going to look into the matter. I would appreciate this.

Thank you,
