Payment refused without further explanation


5 years ago
Hello. I played at the UK-regulated site of PlayOJO casino.

I deposited a total of GBP 23,000. My account is fully verified.

I played casino games, and after some good wins my balance was at approximately GBP 242,000. Screenshot is attached (private).

The trouble started when I tried to withdraw my balance. PlayOJO sent me an initial payment of 5,000 (this was the maximum permitted, despite the size of my balance). I manually requested a larger withdrawal of 50,000 and they asked for my bank details so they could send my funds by bank transfer. I supplied the documents, but they never made the payment.

When I asked what was happening, they send me a very short email telling me that I had engaged in "Prohibited Practices" and that my funds were confiscated. I have asked them to explain what exactly they think I have done, but they do not reply. For the record, I have not engaged in anything other than playing the games as offered.

This is a substantial confiscation of my funds and I cannot believe that a UK-regulated site behaves in this manner. I deserve an explanation of exactly why PlayOJO have taken my money as well as the right to reply. It is of course very easy for them to say I have done something undefined, but they are clearly unable to be specific or to offer any proof.

I ask that my balance is put back into my account and that I can withdraw it as promised.

Dear all,

We regret to inform you that despite all the AskGamblers Complaint Team requests, PlayOJO Casino management refused based on their privacy policy to provide reasonable justification and/or solid evidence which could help us review and decide on this case adequately.

Unfortunately, in this situation, the AskGamblers Complaint Team has no other choice but to close the case as unresolved and advise the player to seek further assistance from the relevant regulatory body or appointed ADR entity. As soon as the AskGamblers Complaint Team is notified about any decision on the case issued by the official regulatory body and/or ADR entity, we will comply and mark this complaint accordingly.

We are not the only Company involved with the data in this case so we will not be responding on your Prohibited play issue. You are encouraged to go our official ADR to lodge your complaint.

Yes we do always deal with complaints in this forum but will not be doing so for this one It's unfortunate that Askgamblers will mark this complaint unresolved but there is nothing we can do about it

And despite your attempts to discredit us with accusations we manipulated the terms and conditions , the Prohibited play term was there since Dec 10th, 2019. The term did exist before your account was created on 26/3/2020 and the clause in question was clearly listed under our Terms of use policy.

I have concerns about the integrity of PlayOjo's claim that my winnings were voided due to Prohibited Play.

In particular I note that PlayOjo's UK Terms and Conditions were updated on 18/08/20 to include a new Term 37, which is the term which defines Prohibited Practices for the first time.

I opened my account on approximately 02/04/20, and played the games relating to this dispute between April and August 2020.

Further, the latest T&Cs are dated as effective from 18/08/20. I note however that the version of the T&Cs on the UK website archived on 25/08/20 are still version 1.23, and that version does not have Clause 37. Did PlayOJO somehow backdate the effective date by mistake?

To be clear, I am certain that my play does NOT fall under any definition of Prohibited Play. I would however ask that my case be considered based on the Terms that actually apply to my play rather than ones written after the event.

@PlayOjo
How can you say: "we are not at liberty to discuss any details in this Forum"? That is precisely the purpose of this forum and this complaint, and you are of course totally free to respond as you choose. I note that you have discussed previous complaints here without difficulty. Please have the decency to take this case seriously.

Can you delay and withdrawal process
My ID on Playojo ([email protected]) Starting June 2, 2025, and ongoing until July 31, 2025. Although the casino will say I've been at it since October 26th 2024. Their system has been feeding me different stuff from the get-go that being said here my
version.
I received an email telling me here's five hundred dollars to play on we're celebrating 50 million on this platform.
So I started playing. And started having a great time I was winning and having fun. Starting June 9th I put in requests for a withdrawal found out that I had to deposit $100 for verification of approval who I was kyc I believe that's called so I did that kept playing. I have full documentation of all our conversations for me to send them I think would be quite a bit but if need be I can go back and get dates for sure. So I believe June 12th I put in for another withdrawal I was told I had to verify my wallet which was $200.
So I deposited another $200 not taking in consideration the platform fee's. So the casino only recorded a deposit of $193.26
Therefore I didn't hit the $200 requirement to verify my wallet which was my bad I didn't get it right away but I realized that.
I believe on the 12th went on and sent another deposit of $207.66.
With a total of. $505.92 in their system.
So I just complained thinking they would fix it that would it would you know catch up with the system somehow and so I kept playing and I've gotten it up to the total of $615,787.31.
I got to that some and I stopped and I haven't played since I'm still trying to get resolved and resolution to my withdrawal with them admitting that it's all on their side that there should be no excuses I just need help I would like to collect

"I am filing a formal complaint against PlayOJO App Cryptocurrency Casino regarding a significant and ongoing withdrawal issue totaling $615,787.31 USD.

My attempts to withdraw these funds began on June 5, 2025 Despite numerous communications with the casino's support, the withdrawal has not been processed. Crucially, the casino has explicitly admitted, through documented chat communications, that the fault for this delay and inability to process the withdrawal lies entirely with them.

I have attached screenshots of these conversations as evidence, clearly showing PlayOJO's admission of fault and the prolonged delay. This situation has caused significant financial distress and frustration. I have followed all instructions provided by the casino's support team, yet the funds remain inaccessible.

I seek the immediate and full withdrawal of the $615,787.31 USD that is rightfully owed to me. I request AskGamblers' assistance in mediating this severe and protracted withdrawal dispute."
"I have clear and extensive screenshots of my chat conversations with PlayOJO support, demonstrating:
