Not paying me my winnings


9 years ago
Hi,

Over the weekend I played on play frank.com, I won a total of £5350 and I withdrew that amount. Over night I got an email stating that play frank was run by every matrix, and how i self excluded my self with one of there partners which was jetbull.com. as result they are telling me that they will not be paying me my winnings cause i self excluded my self from a partner website a year ago.

The problem i have is they didn't mention anything to me when i was signing up for the website and they allowed me to withdraw £1200 and play on there casino. They didn't send me any emails or stopped me from playing in any way throughout this time, the problem only occurred when I started winning. I really do feel that I should be entitled to my winnings as i still was allowed to play.

In the worse case they should pay me all my deposits from all there websites I've used since my self exclusion.

I would be more that happy if you can help me with this matter.

After careful analysis of all the information provided on behalf player and PlayFrank Casino management, AskGamblers Complaints Team could confirm the following:

1/ Player's active self-exclusion agreement with another brand operating under the EveryMatrix platform and license was found by the PlayFrank team in less than 24 hours after player's registration. Player's deposits have been duly refunded as per the relevant casino terms referring to responsible gambling matters.

2/ We believe that player violated AGCCS /AskGamblers Casino Complaints Service/ Terms by stating one or more facts which do not correspond with the truth and namely this statement "The problem i have is they didn't mention anything to me when i was signing up for the website and they allowed me to withdraw £1200 and play on there casino."

As as result of the aforementioned and considering the fact that AskGamblers Complaints Team maintains zero tolerance towards player who are not willing to cooperate in 100% and/or deliberately misusing or contorting facts, we took the decision to reject the case and seize player's access to AGCCS from now on.

Payment and refund issues

So, I was happy with my playfrank account but I found it a very boring website. Not many issues with withdrawals, but sometimes they were slow. I was ok with that. I closed my account, and I was owed two payments, I was asked to provide bank details which I did, via the chat.

Ever since then it’s been hell. So after providing the details it was apparently sent to the team, then I got emails saying it was process and on its way to my bank, and then I was told it was with managers. Every time I contacted someone half the time it was a different story each time, and then another reason as to why I haven’t received my money. I understand things take time but it’s been over 9 days, and I’m constantly being told so many different things. Two people I spoke to today, have told me two different things, apparently the money has not been issued even though I was emailed saying a completely different thing and now there is technical issues and they cannot pay me due to this. The customer service is absolutely shocking and I get nothing but attitude. They was fine when I was on the account taking my money and providing me with my winnings, but it seems to be since I closed it’s nothing but dragging their feet.

Also another small withdrawal I was also told is on its way to my bank, but then an agent in the chat stated that it was going to my PayPal and already sent. I provided details to show I’ve received it, in none of these and now they are escalating it. I just feel like you get told nothing and are expected to just take it.

Verification denied and account suspended

Hi,

Last week I made a deposit of £100 to my Play Frank account, after receiving a text informing me of a 100% bonus up to £100. I played through the bonus the same day until I ended up with approx £950 cash in my account. I played completely within the terms and conditions of the bonus and opted to withdraw the funds the same day.

Shortly afterwards, I received an email requesting the following verification:

- Personal identification

- Address identification

- Proof of payment method

I supplied all of this in a timely manner and assumed this would enable them to process my withdrawal. However, I then received a further email requesting the following verification:

- Face verification

- Date verification

I have used a large number of gambling sites and this is something I have never been asked for before. I find it highly irregular, unnecessary and worrying. I see no reason why they would need this level of identification, something which I raised by return of e-mail. I repeatedly asked why this was needed and constantly received the same response of the fact it was needed for face and date verification. Obviously this is something I was already aware of; I was trying to determine why it was needed.

I eventually provided the verification required. I couldn’t do this immediately as I had to purchase a newspaper. I was finally told that my withdrawal is now being processed; this was on 19/03/19.

That night I tried logging into my play Frank account to see if I could see the status of the withdrawal, only to find my account had been blocked. After contacting them, I was then told that this was done as part of the verification process and that any pending withdrawals had been cancelled. The team told me to contact the complaints team which I did on 20/03/2019.

Since then, any of my requests are now ignored. I have been given no timescale for my "complaint" to be answered (I never asked to raise a complaint: I just want my money) and £950 of my money has seemingly disappeared into thin air. Personally, I believe the original verification process is a stalling tactic in order to hold onto customer's money for longer than is necessary.

Please let me know if you need any further information from me.

Thanks and regards,
