Admit seeing 'Bugged' blackjack hand but won't refund
I joined Spinit Casino played on their site and the graphics and streaming were fine until I upped my stake and wagered £4,750 on a hand of blackjack. I never saw cards being dealt, was not offered to hit,stand, split or double and a few seconds later see account had been docked the money. I came out of that game and then went into history and saw the hand had occurred without me witnessing !! I contacted Spinit live chat who put me through to VIP Manager Emma who was excellent in investigating hand and seeing there was a fault. The important parts of my chat log are copied below as evidence.

it is usually very good, then again, once in a while a bug can happen
So as you can see Saturday 19th of November I had written confirmation from Manager that she had seen this herself. I was hoping to hear back but 4-5 hours passed with nothing so I came back to live chat

this is turning into nightmare
Emma < surname removed >

I am so sorry about this
I assure you that it will be sorted tomorrow morning
So, unfortunate, I went to bed on Saturday 19th happy that Spinit Management had seen/confirmed the 'bug' but upset not resolved. Then the next day shock waves start to flow
Emma < surname removed >
I am so sorry but it seems the issue will not be sorted soon
Rafa7878
Oh!! Did you show them what you saw?
Emma < surname removed >
Nobody looked into it yet. I wish I could have done more
Rafa7878
I don't understand I thought you said all bodies in today so I have waited until Sunday lunchtime thought it would be done as a priority
Emma < surname removed >
Yes everybody buit nobody looked at it yet also just you know your cash back won't real money it was a istake on my side it will be a bonus
Rafa7878
What on earth is going on are you the same VIP Manager as yesterday
So by now I was starting to really be visibly upset(according to wife) and since then I have been in chats with a John < surname removed >(Senior Manager) and a Christina and a Jack and a Jenny all telling me to wait and be patient and result will benefit me. However, my patience by Tuesday wearing thin and then I was told EveryMatrix are responsible for resolution and basically Spinit fobbed off to them. But days keep going past I cannot physically upload all the miscommunication and chat logs because I want to keep the complaint compact to just the 'technical glitch/bug) .
Today(Friday 25th) I went onto live chat but they said

rafa7878
09:22:07 am
There must now be an answer to resolution
Cos I spoke with Every matrix and they said it's up to me to deal with yourselves
09:23:07 am
Christina
09:24:30 am
There are still no results regarding your request Marc
Please be a little patient and I am sure the case will come finally to a good resolution
09:25:11 am
rafa7878
09:25:19 am
I didn't make a request
Christina
09:25:35 am
I know, but I regret that I don't have no other information till now
rafa7878
09:26:16 am
Simply investigating a situation that Spinit VIP team looked at confirmed was a bugged game but a week on nothing
Christina
09:26:39 am
sorry for inconvenience, but for no I am not able to give you another information than this
rafa7878
09:28:28 am
I gave John the few days he asked for he and Jack lied about a bonus Ask gamblers said I should make a complaintrip based on my review so things are more official and that other Internet users are aware of Spinit problems so with regret I will need to do that because my heart and head cannot take waiting until Monday and then to find out still no answer
Christina
09:28:43 am
I am sure it was not a case of not being honest. I would recommend in this case to talk personal with the relevant person to get a better understanding about the communication between you. This will be sorted out at least on the spot, I am very sure
rafa7878
09:30:48 am
Tried that but no one contacted me or answered me I have proof of a few emails I sent to VIP email address plus chats but heard nothing. Plus you don't offer phone support so we have reached end of road and I feel humiliated that I gave you guys a whole week
Christina
09:31:13 am
I understand you Marc, and I don't want you to get to disturb your heart and head with waiting for the result. But if you may trust me a bit, I know for sure that in almost all of the cases, what took a bit longer, it came out with a satisfying result
rafa7878
09:34:32 am
I will make time today to send official complaint via the relevant websites and authorities . I spoke briefly to a solicitor last night and now I have seen no news and John not contactable until at least Monday it's time for me to act. Please inform VIP and management team to now cease communication with me and to simply respond to the Complaints Panel of the bodies/authorities that I write to. I think it is best and fairest way that i ask request officially for this
Christina

John as head of the VIP department is always busy with essential cases and your case has such a high priority if John is dealing with it already. But I ask you again to be a bit more patient and not to press answers on the spot that can't be given
Your case is yet in proceedings and after all what was done till now close to its conclusion stage. In this situation I have no basis to do more for you immediately Marc, I hope you understand
So, ultimate, having given them a full 5 business days and had various broken promises etc, I think it is vigilant to brink in the AskGamblers Experts to view this complaint and that I take a step back and let an impartial body evolve things. Last Saturday night I was EXPECTING to resolve, now I am relegated to just HOPING to resolve as Spinit Casino have not acted efficiently enough or with enough customer care/humility.
