AskGamblers Complaints Team believes the explanation and proof presented on behalf Prism Casino management to be well grounded and to justify the casino actions in this particular case. Without any doubt, a player was informed in the first chat prior claiming a bonus, that maximum cashout is applied for a particular bonus. And that maximum cashout is a 3x bonus which in this case is 1305$, and that the rest of the winnings will be voided. After all, casino made an exception and in the last mail offered to pay to the player winnings, even player played off the rest of her winnings.
Based on the above, AskGamblers Complaints Team consider this case as Resolved and it is now officially closed. In a case of a disagreement with our decision we remind the player that further assistance on this matter could be requested from the relevant licensing authority responsible for Prism Casino.
“Can you tell me where the $25,000 went? Why was it removed from my account?
-Anna”
When Ryan returned to work on April 11th (following the weekend off), he responded:
“I have explained this many times, the $25000 were not cashable and they were removed from the account balance leaving only the allowed amount to cashout. Then you canceled it and played it all off. I am offering you a ONE TIME exception to still pay you the $1305 allowed by the chip where the winnings came from, please advise in order to process the request.
Have a good day.”
Which leaves us with your most recent email, received May 3rd:
“I have been advised by Dispute Resolutions at CDS Corporation to request the $25,000.00 payment owed to me, once more; if payment doesn't materialize from this request, CDS will be stepping in on my behalf.
Please issue payment immediately.
Thank you,
Anna xxxx”
Anna—I will re-state what has been told to you dozens of times now: We will NOT be issuing payment in the amount of $25,000. The terms of the bonus was 3x max cash-out of the bonus issued.
You were NEVER told your withdrawal was approved. The only bit you had to latch on to was Ivan’s live chat, which was so obviously incorrect. Further, there was never any reason to approve your withdrawal in the amount of $25,000.
We absolutely welcome you to open a claim with Central Disputes—we are an open book with this. In my opinion, you’re simply grasping at straws and CDS is truly the last straw to grasp.
I sincerely hope this will conclude this issue.
“Hello again,
Be advised that after another thorough review by upper management, we came to fund (sp – should be ‘find’) that in fact you did play the remaining monies you were entitled to after the excess none cashable money as per the chip rules were removed. I am sorry to say there nothing I can do to help you here.”
A few hours after you received that email from Ryan, you sent a reply. This reply was simply the screenshot of the live chat you’d had with Ivan—the chat which was in no way confirmation of an approved withdrawal.
Minutes after you sent that email, Ryan replied back to you:
“Be advised that I was not able to find any email correspondence on which I confirm any withdrawal being approved and much less paid to you, this could not have happened and to the date the documentation has not even been completed for us to proceed with a payment.
As I stated after the access (sp—should be ‘excess’) monies were removed and the entitled amount left the history shows you canceling and playing it off leaving no withdrawal to be processed, I’m sorry you feel that way but I suggested you keep better track of your account.”
The point Ryan made in this is key: When a withdrawal is approved, an email is automatically generated informing players of the approval. No such email was ever generated, as there was NEVER an approved withdrawal.
On April 7, Ryan made a last-ditch effort to keep a good relationship with you by contacting you by email:
“Good afternoon Anna,
Be advised that as per management at no point on the chat you sent nor any other form of communication where you told a $25,000 withdrawal was approved, you assumed the amount and the only mistake by the individual you spoke to was not to correct you.
None the less, you did play down you winnings remaining. I am willing to make an exception and allow you to cash out the 1305usd you were entitled to as per the chip rules, nothing more.
Please advised in order to process your request, have a nice day!”
Less than two hours later, you responded with the following:
“A complaint has been filed.
-Anna”
In response (later that same day), Ryan emailed the following to you:
“If its ok to ask, with who would you even file complaint? Sorry you feel that way and it has to come down to this, yet only players who are unable to comprehend that the site rules follows this path. I will inform management as well that you have refused the offer of an exception cashout.
If you change your mind please let me know. Have a good evening.”
