Stole my money
I hope anyone reading this pays attention. I am a high-stakes player and have played on most mainstream platforms. Stake, Gamdom, Bovada, Playbvx, Betonline, Mybookie, Sportsbetting.ag... you name it. I have literally never had any issue with any of the aforementioned, ever.
I stumbled onto Slots of Vegas, and they had some different slots I had never played before. Created an account without doing my diligence, and that is where I made my mistake. I went onto the site and made a couple of deposits, around $1600 in total, to test it out. I ran the balance up to 12.5K in maybe an hour. Then I went to make a withdrawal.
I thought it would be fairly simple; it took about 3 tries to get through the verification process. Then I was able to request withdrawals, which I did in 5 - $2500 increments, as the terms and conditions only allow for $2500 a week.
For testing purposes, I attempted both Bitcoin and check withdrawals. They all went into pending status and thought I would have the first $2500 in a week. Well, that didn't happen, and that is where all of the excuses started to kick in. We can't pay you in Bitcoin, and we can't pay you with a check. It has to be a bank wire for some odd reason that I can't even remember at this point.
At this point, I'm starting to get very skeptical, so I start my research. Quickly, I start seeing through user experiences not only on AskGamblers, but on several other platforms, that Slots of Vegas tries and usually succeeds in finding some way not to pay their players. It was a myriad of excuses, from your deposit wasn't approved by the bank, or your ID is invalid. It's any excuse not to pay. So, at this point, I have the realization that I'm not getting paid.
It was only 12.5K(not trying to bigtime; 12.5K means something different to everyone), but I wanted to see it through, so I decided I would gather the ridiculous amount of paperwork together to submit to them to get my bank wires. The whole time thinking probably not getting paid, but I'm curious. Then I decided the other night that it really wasn't worth the time to do so. So, I go onto their site and just start max betting every slot. Run the balance up to 50K then it's 20K, and then I did a couple 7K bonus buys and end up the night with a 40K balance.
I logged in today, and my balance is zero. Thinking to myself, "Big Surprise", so out of curiosity I chatted them to see where my balance is. I just had to know what was going to be the excuse this time. I get this on chat: "I would like to let you know that we suffered some game errors". Seriously? Game errors? Come on, that's the oldest trick in the book. User wins, I guess what Slots of Vegas sees as a large sum of money, and then blames it on game errors.
Nothing was glitching, nothing was lagging. In fact, the bulk of the win was from a 7K bonus buy, which I have a screenshot of. I got no email, no message, no explanation about any glitches until I chatted with them about the zero balance.
There are 2 transactions in my account labeled as Manager Withdrawal -$10,724.50 and -$-29,356.7. Basically, Slots of Vegas stole my money. The only reason I am not just chalking this up to, "Hey, it's my fault. I should have researched the company before depositing.", is because I want this complaint to be seen for what it is: a warning to anyone out there who values their hard-earned money.
ASKGAMBLERS, I am asking you to do what your company is designed for, and that is to recover the 40K that Slots of Vegas wiped from my account for a fabricated reason. Once that is done, I will make 16 bank wire transfers for $2500 each, and then we will really find out how illegitimate this company is.
