Software problem?


I have a situation whereby I have been playing roulette on line
for around a year or so.
A problem arose very occasionally , just about 4 or 5 times over
the period, and I almost ignored it over the first couple of times
apart from being annoyed that I had lost the chance of recovering
my " investment" .

One obviously has to log in to bet, and my preference has been
to start with a balance of several hundred pounds and follow a sequence
of 2/1 odds I.e. bet on red or bet on even and doubling up in the
hope that the sequence will change to in my favour.
This has worked very well most of the time ,and has been an enjoyable
pastime, although I have at times have to replenish my cash balance
from my Visa account when on a long running losing sequence, and
I don't really expect to come out on top.
However I do expect. to have a fair chance.

On at. least 4 occasions when trying to deposit more
funds (WHILST ACTUALLY PLAYING) . I have been prevented from
transferring more cash in order to continue betting, having pressed the
Deposit button in the usual way and been informed .....
"
"sorry you must be logged in to make a deposit"

n
which was not only annoying but gave me no chance of recovering
my. losses. There is no question that I was Logged in as I was
actually playing and had taken no break in between .
In fact , on more than one occasion , I have continued without logging
in using my dwindling balance using 'pennies' instead of pounds and
watched the sequence change in my favour , returning just a small
win in cash terms but quite a heavy overall loss
How could I NOT be logged in ?

£60,000
Unjustified confiscation of 26,008 GBP
I am looking for help regarding Sky Vegas who have withheld my winnings. I signed up on 30th April and Deposited 500gbp, then received 1000gbp Bonus. I started playing a video slot & on my first spin I won about 7000gbp... therefore never even going into any bonus funds.. However I continued to play the same video slot and at the same size spins in order to complete any bonus requirements I was now tied into. Whilst doing so, my balance just kept increasing and I ended up finishing any requirements whilst having a balance of 26,008 gbp. I have had to send in numurous documents in order to get my payout processed. I deposited via a new Bank account I have. When I provided a copy of this statement as a proof of address. They said they then wanted to see where the money was sourced from in order to make my deposit. I find this irrelevent to the casino, however. The Money was paid to me from a job I carried out. I provided evidence of this via my online bank statement for the account. The casino then said they want a copy of the persons statement that sent me this money to see if it matches what I provided. I had to contact someone I had carried out work for and explain my situation and ask them if they could provide me a copy of their bank statement which shows the transfer to me. This was highly embarassing to me and the only way I could bring myself to do this was to refund the original amount for the work carried out as a gesture of good will, this was significantly less than my win with Sky Vegas so it made sense considering they told me once they had this then they would release my funds. After having to wait a few weeks to get the documents they required from my customer and sending them to sky Vegas, they then tell me my winnings are witheld for providing insufficiant documentation. Firstly I have provided everything that they have asked for, secondly, this is all my own money, I never even went into there bonus funds whilst playing. I feel very hard done by and really don't know where to turn with this situation and I am now considering court action. What do you suggest I do? Thank you in advance.

Hello,i have read your reply which you have sent to me three times. It also appears to be a standard pre-written response which I find rather offending given the nature of my compliant.

I wish to have my complaint escalated because you have not answered any of my questions. The notification of players names does reveal their identities and you have been reluctant to confirm that these players are genuine.

You have failed to address my other concern that the amount of tickets each player accumulates should be visible.

You have failed to confirm the amount of tickets that I won in the last draw.

I am near the point of reporting this to all auditing bodes including the gambling commission since you do not appear to be able to address these worrying concerns.

I await your response.

Considering your commitment to new legislation and greater accountability I am concerned and disappointed to see some grave errors in your list of Monday’s weekly cash give away winners.

Not only were some of them blank there were numerous duplicate names and one winner had appeared to have won eight times, seemly at one point to have scooped 4 lots of £20.00 in one draw.

In my opinion the number of tickets that any player has should be made visible in our accounts and available to see alongside the winning names.

In gambling terms the chances of a number of players winning over and over again in one draw would be highly unlikely. This makes the whole promotion appear to be fraudulent and a breach of your terms and condition as well as your legislative responsibility.

Please explain where why you have not accounted or allocated names to the blank spaces and could you verify that catsmakemehappy is a genuine player and how many tickets did they win.

Also why have the list of player names now disappeared and been replaced with a pdf with a list of locations. This looks very underhand.
