Violating Responsible Gaming Policies

Message on forum

This issue with Slotjoint is probably one of the worst violations of a permanent self-exclusion request I have ever seen. Several months ago, I asked them to permanently close account. No questions, just to permanently close the account. They obliged. Months later, just this week, I get a text message and then an email from them. Re-open your account today and get a $20 chip. Obviously, this lured me in and before I knew it I lost even more money to the casino.

Here is the attached dialogue:

Thank you for your email.

Your account is permanently closed as per your request.

Yours truly,

SlotJoint Support

After reflecting on this, I think it's just a disgusting maneuver a casino would employ and totally against what is listed on their website:

RESPONSIBLE GAMING
We are committed to responsible gaming. To encourage responsible gaming We have set up self-exclusion tools which can be used by You to limit Your losses on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. In addition to this, We include links to responsible gaming information. Gaming is at Your discretion and We will not be held liable for any losses incurred.

PERMANENTLY CLOSE ACCOUNT
All players have the ability to close their account permanently by contacting our online support. In addition, players can exclude themselves from play for any period of time they choose.

I did exactly this but it wasn't good enough for them. They lured me back in with a predatory tactic, and if my deposits aren't refunded I will be going to the CURACAO gambling commission as well. Do we have completely different ideas on what the term permanent means, because to me, it means it's irreversible. This isn't all the money in the world that was lost, only $75, but I believe in principals and they are wrong

Hello jfrdl,

Thank you again for bringing forth your complaint.

It is a common occurrence for players to request to have their account closed and then reopened. That said, there is a distinction between accounts closed for non-problem gambling and problem gambling.

In situations involving problem gambling, we hold firm in that "permanent" means the account can never be reopened.

However, in your case there was no indication of problem gambling, so your case does not fall under our responsible gambling policies.
Furthermore, had you won while playing at SlotJoint you would had been paid. Therefore, you will not be refunded your $75 in deposits and your account will not be reopened under any circumstance.

We trust this is satisfactory for AskGamblers to close this case as resolved.

Kind Regards,

SlotJoint Casino

Still no payment after 1 month

I won $1200 on 7th April 2022 and went through withdrawal process to receive my winnings of $1200. I Received first email from them on 9th of April reg First Payout Verification. Sent them the valid documents needed. Had resent couple of times as images were blurry. Anyway, after bout a week, I reached out asking for update. They replied by saying had maintenance done and that they have sent email to Payment and Finance team. I got that answer back most times I spoke to them, via LiveChat or emails.

It is now 12th May and still has not received my $1200 because they're saying they are having technical issues. I sent proper verification documents and also gave them my banking info. I keep bugging them & they said they're waiting on their payment team. Its been over a month!!

Withdrawals error

I have tried to make a $100 withdrawal several times since September 18th but no luck yet.

On my transaction history, my initial Neteller withdrawal displayed "error" despite I had made some other Neteller withdrawal successfully before. I contacted support, via live chat and told me to have it cancelled and request it again which I did.

After some days I checked again and the same happened. I contacted again support and told me to try again and asked me my Neteller transaction history to check that it didn't go through; which I did. They also said that Financial department would take the case but I think I only was contacted by them to send the Neteller transactions history, which I did twice as requested. When I contact support now they tell me that the case is being taken by financial department and told them to get in touch or solve it but I just checked and still the same

Thank you for your help

My 100 bucks disappeared

I have reported this before but I didn’t not add any proof. I was told I could resubmit.

On June 5 2021 I sent a $50 Etransfer to slot joint casino.
The money was debited from my account and I was notified that the transaction was complete and deposited on there end.
The money did not show up on my balance. I contacted their chat and was told that it could take up to 24 hours or it may just bounce back to me in 9 days.
I was not happy about it but it is what it is.

On June 7 2021 I sent another $50 deposit via Etransfer and again it was debited from my account and showed completed.
The money never appeared in my balance in their end.
They claimed they never got it.
I sent them pictures of my account activity which showed 2 Etransfer withdrawals with it being completed on their end.
The person on chat repeatedly told me that they never got it.
I asked them where it would have gone then. They didn’t know.
They were gonna escalate my complaint to the finance department. I was contacted by some one and they told me that it would be returned in 9 business days.
I contacted the slotjoint chat person on June 17 2021 and told them the money had not been returned to me yet. Again they told me that they would escalate it to the finance department.
I emailed the support email all my pictures of my bank statement and pictures of the Etransfer completion. Also a picture on the pop up screen from their site that said deposit was successful.
I then stated getting email wanting my bank statement. I sent them what I had and explained that I deal with an online bank and I can’t get my June statement until the second week in July. I sent them what I had again. They kept emailing me back telling me that that won’t work.
I then again told them that all I have. I even sent them the screen shot of the request for June statement is not available.
I was told 9 days and it would be returned, and here we are 3 weeks later and I still don’t have my money.

I should also add I have been playing at this casino for years. And I have still played since this happened. I just want my $100 back.

Withdrawal drama

Hi,

On the 24th April I won $1000 x 2 at slotjoint, I did my withdrawal on both amounts separately but on the same day. They checked out one within 1 day and the other 3 days later. On the 29th they accepted my withdrawal and paid me out according to them.

This is a bank transfer to which they say 2 to 8 days for clearance. I've had withdrawals from multiple casinos all via bank transfers and it's taken max 2 days, my bank also said it's not a long process. It's now the 11 th May and no funds. I've repeatedly spoken to them to which I get the same answer you need to wait.

I then get an email from them saying there processing bank is having technical difficulties and my withdrawal is still sitting there and not processed ??? They said to contact them on Monday there time, in which I did and now they are saying you need to wait we have no update for you.

It feels very wrong and like they are purposely stalling me. I would like some help please

on april 26th, i requested a withdrawal of 1200$via swift bank transfer. after 8 days i had still not received my withdrawal, so i contacted the support staff via email. they requested a bank statement to ensure i had not received it, and upon reciept they stated they had resent the payment. i waited 8 more days and still nothing. i contacted them again with a new bank statement once again proving i had not received it. i requested they change payment type to an interact e-transfer. i have contacted them multiple time since then, and they keep telling me they will "follow up with the financial team" and contact me when they hear back. still no response from the financial team over 30 days later.

Waiting 2 months for payment

On April 7/20 I requested to withdraw $1100 from slotjoint casino (CAD), I deposited $150. I verified my documents, however I used my debit MasterCard which does not have my name on the front unless I request it from the bank. As it was required for verification, I went into my bank to request a new debit MasterCard with my name on it. I received this on April 30th and uploaded a picture of it. I was informed that my withdrawal would be sent to be verified and paid and I would receive notification of payment. By May 7th I still hadn’t heard anything so I enquired and was told payment was sent on May 5. On May 11th I received an email that the payment had been sent back as the bank required more information than what they requested (swift code). I sent that in immediately and was told payment was made on May 12th. However, 8 business days had passed and still didn’t receive payment. On May 23rd, they requested bank statements, which I sent. On May 29th after not hearing anything I emailed and they requested another bank statement. On June 2nd I followed up with an email - the response was payment was made on May 5th and then requesting Bank statements to show I didn’t receive it. I was patient and understand they are probably short staffed but now I am getting requests to do things I have already done and saying payment was made May 5th when they informed me that it was returned. I have waited 2 months and would like to receive my payment.

Slow on account verification

Hi,

I have opened an account at SlotJoint Casino on the 14th May , deposited and won.

as usual I then tried to verify my account in order to get my withdraw approved .

I uploaded my driver license and proof of address , but ever since documents are in "waiting for approval status".

Problem is i'm unable to get in contact with them in any channel.

They don't answer the phone on the support number and referring to the live chat, the live chat is offline for the last 3 days "due to high volume" and they don't replay to any of my emails.

I'm worried they will just wait till I lose hope...

Would appreciate your help.

Thank you
