Message on forum

I deposited for a 6 month and over period, into SPLENDIDO CASINO [approx. $3000 usd] and when i wanted to make my first withdrawal [$1000 approx] my account was LOCKED.

When I asked WHY, customer support said that there was a dispute with my bank for $123 with ROXY PALACE and i must ask my bank to cancel proceedings [note this was in 2008]. I was doubled debited and that the bank has pursue on there own. I also said take the $123 off and give me the balance BUT STILL -NO-. I then informed Ecogra and after a week, Mr Tex Rees says due to the cash back and my abusive nature the Lock, would stand.

OF COURSE I WAS ABUSIVE [I HAVE BEEN ROBBED AND WHY WAIT TILL I WITHDRAW AND TAKE ALL MY DEPOSITS, AND FURTHER MORE WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY [ROXY].

CAN ANY ONE HELP PLEASE,

Hi there,

After liaising with our Customer Service Team I have been informed that the amounts quoted are incorrect. We have no record of double debits, we only received the chargebacks for his account, and all the details which he registered on Roxy were different to those registered on Casino Splendido. And whilst we were trying to find a solution for this matter he became abusive, and we don’t tolerate abusiveness.

The player deposited AUD574 on his Casino Splendido account NOT $3000.00 as he has stated and his withdrawal was $600 NOT $1000. Due to the chargeback his account WILL remain locked, and we don’t take lightly to abusiveness. We only took his deposits because he had registered a different name and address on the two brands and only at withdrawal were we able to identify that he was the same person.

I believe our Customer Service Manager has also mailed the player personally and will keep you informed of the situation’s progression and should you have any other comments or queries, please feel free to discuss them with her.

Best Regards

Waiting 5 days on a self-exclusion issue

I opened an account on 12th July and deposited £100. After around 10 minutes I was locked out and advised I’m self excluded from Roxy casino. Turns out as you’re linked to 32red this has happened. I self excluded 32red a while back as I didn’t like the site. I’ve no problem with this except the £270 in my account is in limbo and I cannot get an answer from anyone. I expect my balance to be honoured as if I am self excluded I shouldn’t be allowed on to begin with but so far zero update after 5 days.

Their failure to grant my request of self exclusion resulted in £5000 loss

I am a recovering problem gambler and recently had a relapse after 1 year of not gambling due to some stressful news. I opened up an account at Roxy palace casino in haste and deposited around £1k. After gambling for sometime I had won just over £5k and old memories of similar situations kicked in of times before when I had been in this situation and lost everything. I knew that if I did not self exclude I would most likely loose everything and more. I then forced myself to call their support team and expressed my need to self exclude due to my gambling issues as I felt all them old feelings. I was clearly distressed and once I was told that I could not self exclude immediately started to panic. I begged the operator to restrict my account in anyway possible as I would not be able to restrain myself and after sometime he then stated that I would need to state this in an email. I asked him what I would need to write in the email and he confirmed this to me. Becaue I could feel the urges I pleaded with him to wait on the line until he had recived my email and for him to confirm this was everything I needed to do to self exclude. He confirmed this and told me that he would get this sorted for me. He then sent a confirmation email stating that this request could take up to 72hrs to process. I then went to sleep and woke up with the same urges and to my supprise I could still access my account and reverse my withdrawal's. What I had already predicted would happen did. I went on to gamble away the whole amount and more. Feeling very distressed and frustrated I called back the casino operator to express my disbelief that this had happened and wanted to understand why it takes so long as I already told them my discomfort's. To my surprise the operator told me that it should have been locked immediately and she fully understood my situation. She kindly agreed to escalate this to management. After waiting 3 days for a conclusion I was contacted stating that they had already sent an email to me providing a link to some information on self exclusion from their site and that "in principle we have recognised the situation and provided you with the means to take more preventative actions on your account.". (After reviewing this email which was missed by me as it was sent at 6am, the link provided takes you to a page that states I need to email or call in to self exclude and I had already done both of these). I am so angry at this situation so have researched this further to find that they have breached their licence according to their social responsibility. You can clearly see in the gambling commissions website that they should have closed this immediately. when I first called in with the request. http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/FAQs/Problem-gambling/Wait-24hrs-before-self-exclusion.aspx I do not know what else I could have done to self exclude but am going to persue this further officially. This is an example of how Roxy palace preys on the vunerable.

Free Spins Not Credited as Promised

On Wednesday 20th may 2015 received email offering 50 spins on Break Away after $20 deposit has been made. Was not credited. Live support cut me off, phone support passed it on to the "technicalteam". Nothing has been done. Foolishly I had tried same promo about a month ago for 50 spins on gold factory with the same result except live support then told me spins were awarded open GF. I did, they were not. Patronisingly I was then told that I did not open GF"log into GF""do you know to find GF?" I was then cut off. I don't have the original email and chats were live or ph. Many bad reviews will be posted on my behalf. Putrid customer service. Putrid cheap casino.

Roxy Palace Casino doesn't work by law

After weeks of playing, the casino just killed my account as they are not able to accept bets from Croatia.
Of course they know from which country I am (my account, bank deposits and could have easily terminated it before)
They are now saying that they didn't know and sorry, but good bye.

Roxy Palace Casino is not paying my money

Hi,

I found Roxy palace casino in september 2012 I think and have played there very much since that time. Havent had any problems at all, always fast to answer i chatts when i needed there help. Withdrawals have never been a problem.

Then I made an deposit of 600€ the 22/1 2013, I won so my total was about 1800€ but I did not make any withdrawal. When I was trying to log in to the account a couple of days later, my account where looked in some way. There were some error at least. I just thought that they had some casino update, and that was what they were saying in the chat as well.

Then a sent a mail asking the same thing, then I got this respons from the support:

"Following an investigation into your account by our risk department, the decision has been taken to close your account as you were found in breach of our Terms and Conditions and all balances have been forfeited.

Therefore you will not be able to access your account or request a withdrawal."

I have asked again what I have done wrong or if i will get my money in some way but no answer. So I hope that Ask gamblers can help me with this issue.

Kind regards:

Seth

Didn't ask for bonus!

I've been looking for a new place to play Blackjack online as my regular place online has become very busy of late.

I came across Roxy Palace Casino and signed up, depositing £150.00 at the time.

I proceeded to play about 5 - 10 hands of blackjack before noticing my account balance was in the region of £300.00. I thought this was strange as I checked when signing up to make sure nothing was ticked to opt into a sign up bonus as i know the wagering requirements are near on ridiculous and I'm always wary of them!

Anyway I contacted live help straight away to ask them to remove and forfeit the bonus (at this time my cash balance was 150 and 150 on the bonus so the same as I began with) as i never would have wanted it, and was happy to forfeit.. they advised this could not be done as I'd started wagering! Then referred me to some very vague terms! The women then advised I would need to wager 25 times the deposit amount plus the bonus and blackjack would only contribute 10%, therefore I would need to wager £75,000 to get my money back! Ridiculous!

All I want now is to withdraw my initial deposit, i'm not at all happy with their customer service. I requested there complaints procedure but have been told someone would email it tomorrow (not holding my breath). I'm not interested in any bonus but they will not budge on my deposit.. is there anything I can do? There is no way it is possible to meet the wagering requirements.. if I tried I may as well just chuck my £150 away and that is a lot of money to me!

Help please? thank you.
