Unjust seizure of deposits totaling 75000 INR due to impossible verification deadlines


8 months ago

I am lodging this complaint against Pin-up Casino regarding two missing deposits totaling 75,000 INR (50,000 INR and 25,000 INR). Despite providing all legal proof of payment, the casino has refused to credit my account and has informed me that my funds are "lost."

​Timeline of Events:

​The Deposit: I made two deposits (50k and 25k), which were successfully debited from my bank but never credited to my Pin-up wallet.

​Initial Evidence: I provided immediate proof via screenshots showing the Merchant Name, Date, Time, and UTR/Transaction numbers.

​The Impossible Demand: The support team demanded a PDF bank statement within a 24-hour deadline.

​The Obstacle: These transactions were made via Credit Card. As per banking regulations, official statements are only generated at the end of the monthly billing cycle. My bank confirmed it was impossible to generate a formal PDF statement mid-cycle.

​The Rejection: I explained this limitation to Pin-up support, but they refused to extend the deadline or accept the UTR screenshots as temporary proof.

​Final Submission: Once my billing cycle ended, I provided the official PDF statement. The casino then claimed that because I missed the initial "one-day deadline," my funds were forfeited.

​Key Points for Mediation:

​Proof of Funds: I have submitted the official PDF statement, which clearly shows the funds leaving my account and going to the casino’s payment processor.

​Unreasonable Deadlines: A 24-hour deadline for a monthly credit card statement is a physical impossibility. Using this as a reason to "loot" or seize a customer's deposit is predatory and against fair gaming practices.

​Enrichment: The casino has received my 75,000 INR. To keep the money without crediting my player account is a direct theft of funds.

Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details, and proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team has reached the conclusion that the disputed amount never successfully reached the casino's payment provider. Consequently, the casino has no means to track or recover the aforementioned funds. We strongly advise the player to seek further assistance directly with their bank or financial institution. Based on this confirmation, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved, and it is now officially closed. While we understand this may not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entity.

Hello!

Unfortunately, the previously provided response is final. Due to the specifics of how payment systems operate, we are unable to verify these payments, and therefore cannot review the situation or uphold the complaint in favor of the player. We recommend contacting your bank to explore a possible way to resolve the matter.

Thank you for your understanding.

​"I am writing to formally reject the response provided by Pin-up Casino. The casino is claiming that a 'long interval' between my deposit and the submission of my bank statement has made the funds untraceable. I wish to clarify that this delay was not due to negligence, but due to the standard banking regulations in India.
​1. Proof of Immediate Action:
The deposit was made on 18/09/2025. In India, credit card statements are generated strictly once a month. My statement was generated on 19/10/2025, and I shared it with Pin-up support immediately. I even contacted my bank to request an interim statement, and they confirmed that for this specific card type, transaction details are only finalized and officially 'stamped' on the monthly billing cycle.
​2. Intentional Obstruction:
The casino accepts deposits from Indian credit cards but then imposes a 'technical capability' deadline that is impossible for any Indian cardholder to meet. If the casino accepts the payment method, they must accept the legal billing cycles associated with that method. By setting a 30-to-60-day window and then claiming 'data is lost,' they are intentionally holding user funds.
​3. Responsibility of the Merchant:
A payment provider's inability to 'review' an invoice does not absolve the casino of its debt. The money left my bank account and was successfully processed. If the casino's provider has lost the record, the casino must either:
​Perform a manual reconciliation.
​Initiate a manual credit to my account based on the verified bank statement I provided.
​Refund the amount back to the source.
​I have attached screenshots showing my immediate communication with their support team in October, where they also denied the credit despite having the statement in hand. I am requesting AskGamblers to keep this case OPEN as the casino is essentially pocketing a successful deposit by blaming their own third-party software limitations."

Additional Verification delayed from last 5 months
Dear Askgamblers Team,

I want to officially complaint against pin up casino.

My account Id on pin up casino is 21566135. When I joined this casino I liked it very much and really though this is one of the very best betting site in the world.

I lost too much money here and also won. That’s a part of game but never faced any difficulty in deposits or withdrawals. But then suddenly when I started playing with high stakes something happened. Around five months back when I won continuously 4-5 bets suddenly my withdrawal declined and when I contact support they told me you need to go through additional verification before getting a withdrawal.

My account was already verified but still they told me to do additional verification. I thought okay not an issue let’s complete it.

But then when I started the additional verification process this casino started their harassment and never ending process of verification.

One by one after every five days they request some new document and when I submit after five days they again request something new.

Over time I have submitted each and every document they asked me to submit. But still my verification is not been completed. Infact my account is also blocked and I have no access to it. I have over Rs 90,000 in my account but all they are doing is delaying my verification intentionally and not allowing me to withdraw my funds.

Now, askgamblers team you are my last and only hope. Kindly help me in resolving this issue with pin up casino.
