Yesterday I deposited a total of $4700 Australian Dollars onto Skycrown Casino after weeks of being fully verified on their site.
I finally won a total on $21,000 yesterday and started withdrawing my winnings. The casino rejected/declined my withdrawal making excuses that I input the incorrect account number. I double-checked all the fields I entered information into before submitting the withdrawal. I was so infuriated by this and also after weeks of losing thousands of dollars in deposits. The only time I was wanting to withdraw funds, they delayed the process returning the funds onto my verified account.
I lost ever bonus provided by their VIP manager. The games were not functioning correctly whilst bonuses were applied. This was obvious by the slots games being altered when I was playing were never paying out a win for 30 spins in a row for example. When no bonus was applied wins were very significant and frequent. I had over 50 bonuses provide by the VIP manager and not once that I can recall that I cleared the wager requirements.
This got me so angry that after suffering constant losing streaks, when I finally won big, they blamed me for being a compulsive gambler and permanently closed my account after all my complaints made.
I'm left in the dark now and the VIP manager from Skycrown is just brushing me off when I try contact them. They are shifting the blame on me and they advised me that I should of kept trying to resubmit a withdrawal claim. This is a common play to return funds to a gambler in the hope they are frustrated then to continue to gamble and lose everything.
I would like to dispute this issue as I see no resolution dealing with Skycrown customer service.
I am wanting to pursue retrieving my fairly won sum of $21,000 I rightfully/fairly won after constantly losing $10,000 or so.
Dear @Nathan_1992,
Following a careful review and consideration of your case, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that, unfortunately, your complaint is not compliant with the AGCCS Guidelines, section Balance played off while waiting to be paid and, therefore, is being rejected. Please keep in mind that following all AGCCS Guidelines is mandatory.
Please keep in mind that while we could understand your frustration and disappointment of probably not being paid within the time frame specified by the operator, it is up to you to refrain from playing until the processing of your payment is being finalized accordingly. Instead, you kept playing and lost your balance subsequently which means that unfortunately, you will also lost the validity of you claim against the operator which led to rejection of the complaint.
And while we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind that in case of disagreement with our decision further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.
Also due to the fact that the player was not sincere about playing off the funds while submitting the case, the AskGamblers Complaint Team had no other choice but to impose a permanent ban on the player and forbid to use the AskGamblers Casino Complaint Service from now on due to using it in bad faith.
Firstly, the account was closed immediately after we became sure, that the player has problems(RG-Quiz was requested after he mentioned problems - and the problems were only mentioned after Nathan played the winnings).
Secondly, the withdrawal was rejected, and the player received automatic email with the info + VIP manager also informed him about the reason via WhatsApp(not also informed, but also offered the solution and help with making another withdrawal request). Furthermore, the withdrawal was cancelled on our side because the player is the only one who can make a withdrawal request(it is impossible technically to make a withdrawal request on our side instead of the player).
Thirdly, we cannot influence the RTP (return to player) index. The percentage is indicated by the game provider and also depends on it - you can always check it inside the game or at the official site of the provider. We really have no control over this index.
Finally, due to the terms and conditions of our site “The Casino accepts players only from those countries and geographic regions where online gambling is allowed by law. It is the player’s sole responsibility to inquire about the existing gambling laws and regulations of the given jurisdiction before placing bets on the website.
It is entirely and solely your responsibility to enquire and ensure that you do not breach laws applicable to you by participating in the games. Depositing real funds and playing for real money is subject to the laws of your country, and it is your sole responsibility to abide by your native regulations.”
So why haven’t my other concerns been answered? It looks like the responsibly has been shifted towards me only.
Skycrown hasn’t explained why they couldn’t just resolve the BSB issue. If they knew the problem then fix it on your end.
Skycrown, please explain the unauthorised transactions & the faulty pokies not paying when bonuses were applied. I never cleared wagering requirements which further proves the Pokie games are rigged to never clear wagering requirements of bonuses.
They are using the ‘continued to gamble’ ploy against me which is exploitation of me as the player on their site.
Furthermore, I have just found out today after doing some research and phone calls that Skycrown Casino is operating illegally in Australia which breaches the Australian legislation. Skycrown uses different website domains to bypass ACMA blocking of these offshore casino webpages. I’m also in contact with the ACCC to help other Australians kept safe from the illegal operations of offshore online casinos like Skycrown.
Please be sure that Skycrown answers my concerns accordingly instead of shifting the ‘continued to gamble’ issue against me. Appears to be a tactic that is used commonly by online casinos from what I read on other complaints here. This ploy is to provide funds that are trying to be withdrawn back to the gambler already losing thousands in the hope they continue to gamble big which is known and can be seen by my betting patterns in the betting history page which Skycrown can check.
There are a lot of inconsistencies and information Skycrown has not yet explained.
Dear @Nathan_1992,
Is it true that you have continued to gamble after you were informed about the BSB code being entered incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
