Progressive Jackpot Won Only To Be Told It Was a Human Error


Although I like this casino I recentrntly won progressive of $79k on spirit of inca. I was told by club world chat congrats on my winnings and it is standard procedure to wait 3 days to confirm. I started to contact club world and was inform over the phone that it was an error and RTG would be sending a letter. I was told by my VIP manager that RTG was testing the machines progressive jackpots and the person who does this did it on the live progressive instead of the one he was suppose to do it on. I was of course very upset, especially because when I won I immediately went to live chat to confirm. As I said they were very happy for me; so hearing now it was an error seemed fishy.
The amount that was flashes on the screen was $79,247, but the letter from RTG stated that I could not have won because it shows $175,000 winnings and I was betting only .50 cents. I was aware of what I was betting and what I could potentionaly win. It did not flash $175k. The letter goes on to say that it was a human error that cause the jackpot to trigger, and told me to reveiw #8 of terms and conditions, which I did. It states jackpots are void is the machine malfunctions, but this was not a machine error it was a human error. I would like to get some help resolving this issue. I can send you all emails and letters if that will help. Thank you in advance

Before closing this case, we would like to clarify a couple of very important moments concerning this issue.

1/ It is now clear that the same issue, concerning the same game and software provider, has been already reported by another player. More info here - http:/­/ww­w.a­skg­amb­ler­s.c­om/­cas­ino­-co­mpl­ain­ts/­non­-pa­yme­nt-­of-­jackpot

2/ Hastings International B.V., the company owner of Real Time Gaming /RTG/ issued an official statement where it was stated that it was a 'human error' which caused the aforementioned jackpots triggering across multiple casino brands using that software. The company then refused to verify and accept the triggering of these progressive jackpots as valid, because of the specified human error. All wins were void due to term #8 or RTG terms and conditions - Malfunction of any game voids all plays and pays.

3/ The submitter of this complaint has been offered a compensation for all the inconveniences caused which was later accepted.

Based on all the above, we consider this case as resolved and it is now officially closed.

Well... I believe that Club World did what they could. When the Jackpot hit all of the chat associates also believed that i won. I feel the fault is with RTG. It is unfortunate that they do not honor such a situation. If i was in Vegas and won they would not be able to say it was a "malfunction." Unless you can help with RTG i will close the case with Club World. Thanks

Anything further you need from us? We've had no update from the player in reply to the above. I did forget to mention that the player was compensated a gesture of good will from ClubWorld for the error caused from within RTG.

Unfairly Removed Comp Points Worth $370
I played at Club World and I actually did very well. Initially I was able to cash out good after clearing a bonus. They paid promptly and I thought this is a great place. Then I login to play again and bonuses are removed. I ask customer service what is the deal. They stated I won too much and so I was no longer eligible for bonuses. Meanwhile I am continuing to play even without a bonus. I hit good again and had a solid cash out. I was told I would be paid out but my account was being closed...for winning too much. So I added a review here about it and they reopened my account...claimed it was a mistake. Someone obviously realized that a casino that closes accounts just because a player got lucky...is not really legitimate. I go back in and I try and use my comp points that I earned on their website risking my deposits and in most cases without even using bonuses. I click to comp points and it says this has been removed from your account. I had over 37,000 comp points. I understand...albeit do not agree with the practice of removing bonuses and loyalty programs from players because they are winning too much. I don't think that is right, but at least I understand their reasoning. But taking away what a player had already earned from play...that is just downright thievery and that is what they did. When I deposited and I continued playing back winnings...I did so because at the time I was eligible for comp points. I was having fun with the knowledge that if I busted out, I would have still earned some comp points to play some more. Well I never got to use what I earned because they stripped that away from me as well. So removal of bonuses...discriminated against for winning on their website...and then comp points taken away....again for winning on their website. I followed every single rule for their site and yes I got lucky and won more than I lost. Sometimes that happens in real casinos. Apparently with Club World players are only allowed to play there if they manage to lose more than they win. Completely unethical. Again if they would have said you can use your comp points because YOU LEGITIMATELY earned those points, but you will no longer accrue points because you have just won too much...I actually would have been okay with that. Pretty crappy for what is supposed to be a legitimate casino, but that would have been acceptable. Taking them away after I earned them is the same as forfeiting winnings. Again everything was above board...I just won too much at the casino so this is how I have been treated. I think every player should be fully aware that if they win more than they lose they will be treated like a cheat and the casino will not honor their loyalty program.

Refusal to pay my winnings...
I am hesitant to file this complaint because I really enjoy playing slots at Club World Casino, but I feel I was jipped out of my winnings, and this may be the only way for resolution. I've been gambling with Club World for several months now - and I've made many deposits but no withdrawals until now. I recently won $259 using a $25 coupon with 10x max payout. My withdrawal attempt was declined for various reasons. First they needed verbal confirmation from my mom since I had used a card in her name in the past (so my mom and I completed their request). Next, my card wouldn't accept deposits - so I gave a list of my other cards in hopes to find one that works. I asked about having a check mailed but was told I couldn't because the amount was under the required minimum of $350. In the mean time, I continued to gamble and made deposits totaling $270. I was still trying to cash out the original $250 to verify that I can actually cash out my winnings - because what's the point of depositing hundreds of dollars to gamble with no chance of ever cashing out. Well, yesterday the withdrawal attempt was declined again and $234 was refunded as my balance. They deducted the $25 for the original bonus. I thought that since they took back their original $25, the money was now mine to do as I wish. I figured the only way to ever cash in was to win more than $350 so I could have a check mailed to me. After losing almost all, I surprisingly hit the random jackpot for over $1000. It was incredible, and I just kept getting lucky after that! I decided to be smart and ended up cashing in at $2500 (requesting a check). Well, this morning I had an email saying Club World couldn't verify any of my cards because they needed 6 digits rather than the 5 they originally told me. I was frustrated and decided to call Club World. I told the representative about my winfall. She put me on hold for quite some time to talk to a cashier, and came back to tell me she had bad news and good news. The bad news was that I wasn't entitled to the $2500 because it fell under the "bonus" terms. The good news was that i was entitled to $225 and they would send me a check. I explained I didn't think it was still under the bonus terms because they already took back their original $25. She again checked with the cashier and said that was not the case. I asked to speak to a manager, and she said she was a manager. I told her they might as well remove all the excess money if it was good for nothing. I later received an email stating that $225 was approved for payment and sent out - it wasn't $250 because they took $25 for a check processing fee. I have thought about this all day, and the more i think about it, the more upset I get. I feel that Club World truly owes me the full $2500. I do not feel I was still under the bonus terms because they declined my withdrawal request twice and deducted the original bonus amount from the amount they returned to me. In addition, I deposited more than $250 while attempting to cash that in. I feel that Club World is being dishonest. It's even more upsetting because I love playing at Club World, and if this hadn't happened, I would continue to be a loyal customer for years to come. Will someone please look in to this? Thank you for your time.

My account and was closed and money confiscated
Im very dissapointed with this casino, and their ignorant staff which dont want to reply your answer but they rather change the topic on something unuseful. So there is my problem: I registered to Club world casino and used their no deposit bonus, i was playing i had some luck and did wagger bonus money enough times to make withdraw(300$). Later i realized maximum cashout from this bonus is 150$ but thats not important. I made withdraw request, then i talked with support on live chat, and here it goes: operater asked me if im still a student. Im only 18 years old full employed person, but its not long time i did end my school, so i accidentaly said yes. My account was freezed in 2 seconds after that. I told to support that was mistake, and how can i reopen my account. He said me to write to a casino cashier service so i did I explain them my situation, i send them pictures of my documents( for verification) I send them a picture of document which is total proof i am not student anymore. I even send them my JOB CONTRACT for 2 years full employment. If they would ask i can send them even more documents for proof But problem is they dont want to!! They ignore me, dont want to help me with nothing all they answer to me is copy/paste chat when operater ask me if im student and i said yes. Its not the problem about the money, i wont get rich or die from 300$ but the problem is because I CAN PROVE 1000% that i am not a student, but they still dont want cooperate with me. Im very dissapointed with this casino, i expect this problem to be resolved!!
