Smart Live Casino - They cancelled my winnings without valid arguments

Earlier this year I deposited £700 into my Smartlive Casino account and gambled up to over £9000 playing roulette. I did not receive any kind of bonus, this was 100% real cash. After I requested a withdrawal for the full amount they simply sent back my original deposit of £700 and closed my account. It took a little for me to get a reason from them which is at best pretty vague. They just copy and pasted a couple of paragraphs from their terms 2.11 and 3.12. These relate to various breaches so I don't even know which they are accusing me of having committed. And they will not discuss it any further. I am not happy about this at all.

Smartlive have contacted me to offer a monthly payment of £1000 per month but not to begin until May. They would consider this a settled resolution. I don't think it is fair. Installments are one thing, but to not begin until May seems unreasonable. I consider the complaint to be ongoing.

After following the official complaints procedure of Smartlive Casino I then contacted IBAS who ruled in my favour in January of this year. Benjamin Bedford of Smartlive then said they would pay me the money. They were going to pay by the end of the week. That became the end of next week. That became soon and more and more weeks rolled by. Then they said they had to do more verification so I complied with that. They then called to suggest some kind of payment plan which would involve dribs and drabs for at least 9 months but couldn't tell me when it might start. And unsurprisingly nothing has happened since then and I have not received a single penny.

After 11 Weeks still no pay
On the 24 th of May 2016 I deposited £200 and received a £200 bonus. I played slots varying my bet sizes between £18 and £10. This was well within the stipulated terms for the promotion that I participated in. I went on a winning streak and ended up cashing out £3770 after going well over the wagering requirement. Soon after I was asked to provide documents. They were accepted and I was asked to take a phone call which I did. Everything seemed fine and I was told the withdrawal would be processed. Fast forward a few months and I am yet to receive a penny. I have been emailing and speaking to live chat but they do not help. I received the following email in response on the 27 th of July: ##- Please type your reply above this line -## Dear Rory, Thank you for choosing Smart Live.

Kind Regards, SLG Customer Service Team  Even since this email they have taken considerably longer than 3-5 working days to do anything. I want to avoid having to take Smart Live Casino to court in the UK if possible. So I’m really hoping we can come to a resolution via your mediation service. It’s been months since my original withdrawal so I felt like I had no options other than to escalate the issue to here. Thanks for your time
