I recently opened an account with this new casino and deposited £1900 playing roulette. I selected not to have any bonuses something of which I always do as I disagree with the play through rules. So luckily in the end I won my deposit back plus a little more coming to the sum of £2500.50 . I then proceed to start the withdrawal. I read through their withdrawal procedure and noticed they require documents to verify so I think to speed this up I'll send my stuff. So the following day I hear nothing. Next day I go to my emails to see that they have contacted me to say that I have duplicate accounts and that they are confiscating my money as per their Terms and conditions. They claim I previously had an account of which I can't understand as this is a brand new opened casino. It then turns out that I had an old account on bgo.com years ago and they are the same owners. This account had been self excluded. I have not attempted to cheat anyone or masquerade under a false name. I have used exactly the same details as I always use this username and same passwords. Same email address and home address. Hardly the way someone who attempts to trick someone would do. I fairly deposited my money and had I lost that was fair enough but I won so I believe they should honour this. I am seriously unhappy at this and have already contacted my lawyer regarding this. I have done a bit of research on your site and others of bgo.com as powerspins has no reviews at the moment. Bgo get a very bad review by several other players and I've noticed others having funds confiscated also. Please give me some advice on what to do here. Thank you

Hello Martin,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
I have reviewed your correspondence, and accounts in great detail to ensure that I have investigated this thoroughly.
I can advise that PowerSpins is owned by bgo Entertainment Ltd, this information is advertised on the PowerSpins website, and upon creating an account.
With a Self-Exclusion, it is an agreement by both parties that 1 - We will endeavor to stop you from gambling on bgo (and any other sites owned by bgo entertainment ltd), for the requested time-frame, and 2 - That you agree on your part not to attempt to re-open any accounts with us. If for any reason you decide to open a new account with the company, that has the same details as the Self Excluded account, and this is not stopped upon sign up - We will close this within a 'Reasonable Time-frame' As per the Gambling Commission guidelines.
I can advise that your Powerspins account had been created on 15th March 2017 at 20.42 GMT with an alternative email address, within 24 hours this account had been suspended on 16th March 2017 at 09.21 GMT. This is within the Gambling Commission guidelines 'Reasonable Time-Frame'. I can confirm that you have placed your deposits during this time.
As you have deliberately entered details that differ from your original Self-Excluded account this has not been picked up instantly by our system, meaning we were unable to locate your duplicate account as fast as we normally would. This is a breach of the Self-Exclusion Agreement on your part.
I can advise that you made deposits totaling £1,900, these funds had been refunded and processed on 27th March 2017 as a good will gesture.
If I can assist further then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
Rebecca
