Refusing to process payment of $900


Recently I have deposited 80 dollars from my visa card and won 900 in winnings which was removed due to "third party card" I wish to dispute this claim.

Here is the message which I was sent from support.

" Dear Player,

We have found that you have made deposits with a third party card. In this regard, we are forced to subtract all of your winnings excluding last deposit made with a third party card. Please withdraw this deposit as soon as possible to a third party card it was made from.

Please notice that this decision, taken by the management of our Casino, is a final decision.

Best regards,
Casino Support Team"

Here is a recent reply I sent to Playamo in response which i'd like to publish here to in order to get some accounability and hope to resolve the situation.

" Hello I have some questions regarding this and would like to discuss before
I take further action with a third party mediator or regulatory body.

First off I would like to say i've been a loyal player of playamo, and up
to this point it was my favorite and in my opinon best online casino due to
the various games and payment methods, so this is a disappointing
development.

Here is the message you sent me and i'd like to point some things out.

"
Dear Player,

We have found that you have made deposits with a third party card.
joint account we both share so my name is registered the account and the
funds used were my own I can provide documents to prove this, and the
transactions made on that card were
September 24, 2018 15:26 Accepted Deposit Credit Card 25 NZD
September 24, 2018 14:21> Accepted Deposit Credit Card 25 NZD
In this regard, we are forced to subtract all of your winnings excluding
last deposit made with a third party card. Please withdraw this deposit as
soon as possible to a third party card it was made from.
recent deposit was
October 29, 2018 15:41 Accepted Deposit Credit Card 80 NZD
Which was made using my visa card under my own name Jack Matravers-Rock as
your records will show, so even if I must forfiet my winnings according to
your message you should still refund the 2x25 payments made on the kiwibank
card yes? as they were" third party" as you say, however like I say I can
provide documentation to prove my joint ownership of the kiwibank card."
Please notice that this decision, taken by the management of our Casino, is
a final decision.

Best regards,
Casino Support Team""

I would really appreciate sorting this out as like I say Playamo is my
favorite casino and I intend to continue playing for a long time should we
be able to sort this out, as a final question im wondering how can I play
here again? If you would like to call me that'd be even better my phone
number is xxxxxx
I look forward to hearing from you."

Here is a screenshot of my deposits and declined withdrawls.

If anymore information required please let me know, I love this casino and would love to return to being a loyal player and resolve this issue which has soured my win.

One successful withdrawal and now cancelled on bigger amount

I am beyond frustrated I am an Australian player and I have gone above and beyond to prove my identity to playamo…. I won $3000 and withdrew that amount and then withdrew $900 via bank transfer they were both processed and all sent to their end (what they said) I successfully got the $900 into my bank and I waited another week or so for the $3000 then I randomly get an email saying I cancelled the withdrawal which I did not.

So then they said I needed to verify my id again and there is a security issue with the L on my identification which is my middle name that’s not printed on my bank card like that but my bank card says My name and I have had a successful withdrawal before with no issue….

Now they have asked me to open a cryptocurrency wallet to have my withdrawal put into instead & apparently once the withdrawal is complete via cryptocurrency my profile will then be deleted!!!?

I am so confused By all this I have done absolutely EVERYTHING to verify my identification and trying to now withdraw $2890 after they let me play through some.

I got that many identifications to prove it’s me & a successful withdrawal into bank and still security says there’s now an issue, not a big surprise they don’t want to give me the larger amount…. When I withdraw the smaller amount the day after and got that not a problem…

Now all these issues for no reason when I have got all my Identification even offered my birth certificate…

I am beyond disappointed and upset with all this.

Assistance required: Withdrawal is being cancelled
Hello.
I have only been playing with Online Casinos for a few months.
I tried to cashout at Playamo Casino and after waiting several days, I received an email tonight stating that my cashout has been cancelled! I now have none of that money in my Bank Account or in my Casino Account.
I originally tried to cashout $1502.50 on September 23rd but it was discarded by PlayAmo and the money stayed in my Casino Account. I decided to continue playing. I then tried to cashout $1650.40. On September 28th, after supplying all documentation requested, it was accepted. I received an email stating the money was being sent to my bank. I waited several days for the money to go into my bank account. I contacted the support team but was asked to patiently wait.
On Monday October 4th, whilst still waiting for the money to go into my Bank Account, I decided I would deposit more money into my PlayAmo Account so I could play the slots.
When I logged in, to my surprise, the $1650.40 that I was expecting to be in my Bank Account was put back into my Casino Account.
Even though I was annoyed that it was not deposited into my Bank Account, there was no need to deposit more money as I had a balance of $1,650.40.
After playing and losing about $800, I won a feature.
I then decided that I would cashout my balance of $3102.31.
It "discarded" my first two attempts and finally changed the status to pending.
Tonight, October 6th, I received an email stating my entire balance of $3102.31 has been cancelled.
I feel I have been scammed.
I am concerned that the original withdrawal was deliberately put back into my Casino Account with hopes I would gamble it all away.
I had no intentions of gambling it all.
I won and decided to cashout.
I no longer apply for bonus' when I make deposits as it limits the choice of slots. Therefore the money I play with is purely mine.
Whatever the reason was for the $1650.40 going back into my PlayAmo Account, it was my money to gamble with - win or lose.
Now that I want to withdraw my winnings, they won't pay.
This is my money and I'm very distraught about it.
Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
If you need copies of emails or anything else, please contact me.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Leonie

Casino took 10 days and 4 requests to apply my requested self exclusion

On April 13/21 I sent an email to Playamo Customer Support requesting that they close my account permanently as I was choosing to Self-Exclude myself from their website indefinitely.


According to their website, when you set a Self-Exclusion Limit your Player Account will immediately be disabled and you will be excluded from all promotional offers for the set period. You will not be able to deposit or withdraw funds when the limit is active.

Under the terms and conditions it says that setting Self-exclusion lets us know that we need to take all measures to block your access to your account and make sure that you receive no promotional materials. You may also contact our support team at [email protected] and inform us about your decision to stop gambling at the Website for a certain period of time or forever. Self-exclusion means that you will be barred from play at all online casinos under the participating licence.


However this is not what happened to me. Instead of closing my account, Playamo Customer Support sent me back an email saying they were passing my message onto the dedicated team who would contact me.


On Apr 14/21, I received an email from Dana, my Playamo VIP Manager stating she received a message from player support, asking what can I do to help?


I replied to her on Apr 14/21, by forwarding my initial request to Player Support in regards to closing the account and self-excluding indefinitely to her email.


On Apr 16/21, Dana contacted me again to state that she had not heard back from me and she proceeded to offer me promotions and loyalty credits to continue playing on Playamo.com.


I emailed her back Apr 16/21 telling her everything I disliked about gambling on their site. Since I had already asked twice to be self excluded, I figured maybe telling her all my dislikes would get the job done. I was wrong. She just emailed me back on Apr 16/21 trying to convince me to play and even provided a cash bonus to my account to get me back playing.


I sent another email back a couple hours later on Apr 16/21 asking her to do as I requested and close my account and to honour my wishes to self-exclude from their site indefinitely.


I received the next email from Dana on Apr 19/21 stating that she respected my decision but asking me to ‘think one more time’. Then she went on to say what a smart player I am, how I am going to win big and offering me more no deposit cash bonuses, and bonus unofficial weekly cashback. Preying on all my weaknesses as a gambler. I finally said fine I would think about it to put the bonuses in my account.


Then Apr 22/21 I emailed Dana again. Only this time it was to request a refund for the $875 that I had been allowed to deposit into my account since making my first request to be self-excluded on Apr 13/21.


I told her that if my request for self-exclusion had been applied to my account as their policy states it should have immediately been, I would never have been able to deposit and lose another $875.


I received a message back from Dana Apr 22/21 stating she was sorry for my gambling problems, my account was now closed and she would pass my request for a refund on to administration. I would hear from them within 24hrs.


I received an email on Apr 23/21 stating that my account was closed and there would be no refund as it was closed as soon as I said I had a gambling addiction and they said nothing could be done as I did not contact them earlier.


I emailed back and forth with Player Support a few times stating I made earlier attempts and requests to have my account self-excluded... But for some reason they don’t seem to consider those as reason enough to immediately close the account even though that is exactly what their policy states.


I am not sure where to go from here. I can not provide a screen shot of the deposits to my Playamo account (but the casino should be able to provide that) as my account was closed while I was trying to do that.


I have included screen shots of the emails to verify what I am stating. I just want them to reimburse the $875 I was able to spend after they did not immediately disable my account after requesting self-exclusion.
