Unfairly closed my account with INR 27058 balance


3 years ago
Hi,

I am filing this complaint here after waiting for five days since I raised the complaint with Sportaza. I sent my emails to suppor­t@s­por­taz­a.com, [email protected] and compla­int­s@s­por­taz­a.com. But they haven't bothered to even reply to any of my emails, which shows that Sportaza is a fraud website.

My account has been wrongly and unfairly closed by Sportaza. They sent me an email saying that I didn't pass their account verification process despite the fact that I uploaded all the documents as required and all of them were accepted too. (I have also taken the screenshot of my account's verification page showing that all my documents were accepted and have attached it with this complaint.) They didn't even pay my remaining balance of 27058 INR. Sportaza didn't even bother to explain how I didn't pass their verification process- which document they exactly had a problem with? I have all the valid documents (passport, national ID Aadhaar, PAN, bank account statement and Neteller transaction history pdf) and I am ready to provide them to AskGamblers to expose Sportaza's blatant fraud.

My kyc documents like my passport, Neteller transaction history and Aadhaar card (Govt issued ID card) were accepted a few days earlier, and only UIDAI verification and AstroPay transaction history were remaining. Since Sportaza didn't even tell me which document they had an issue with, despite my repeated emails, I can only guess that they might have an issue with my AstroPay transaction history document. You must be aware that Astropay doesn't have the option to download transaction history. Hence, I am attaching the screenshots showing my Astropay account details (Screenshot 1) and all my transactions from November 2022 to January 2023, as required (screenshots 2 to 25). I had even offered Sportaza to share my AstroPay username and password for them to verify whatever they want, but they haven't responded to any of my emails. (Of course, I would have withdrawn my balance from Astropay before sharing the password and changed it afterwards.)

I myself no longer want to play with such a dishonest company as I can't trust them with my money anymore. But I want my remaining balance of 27058 INR to be paid.

Note: I am only attaching TWO screenshots here - Astropay account details and kyc documents acceptance since my complaint was not getting submitted, perhaps due to too many attachments. I will send the screenshots of my AstroPay transactions through email.

Dear all,

Kindly note that the AskGamblers Complaint Team requested and is still awaiting additional information from the Sportaza Casino team.

Should the operator fail to provide such an update within the specified timeframes, the case shall be considered unresolved and will be closed accordingly. As a direct consequence of such closure, the operator's ranking score on AskGamblers will be decreased accordingly.

Sportaza has cited two reasons for confiscating my winnings and I refute both of them.

Firstly, they have alleged that my account failed verification. This is far from the truth as I have already shared the screenshot where all my documents were accepted. How come all of a sudden my account failed verification? Also, I am ready to share whichever kyc document they have an objection to with AskGamblers team (I have already shared everything with Sportaza). But they are just not giving any specific response despite my several emails and live chat conversations regarding how I failed their verification and which document they had a problem with. Even now, they have not said a word about it. I am ready to undergo verification under AskGamblers team's supervision.
 
Secondly, they have alleged that I breached their terms and conditions and mentioned several points. But once again they have not been specific with any particular point which they allege me to have breached. They said that they have shared some sort of evidence with the AskGamblers team. But why aren't they ready to share the same with me? They are simply autocratically and unilaterally taking decisions and not giving me a chance to put forward my point and defend myself. I had requested them to provide any evidence, but they ignored my email and didn't reply.

@Dear AskGamblers team,
Please ask them to be specific and share the evidence with me too.

Urgent Complaint Withdrawal Not Processed and Misleading Information from Support

I am submitting this complaint again because I am having issues with the casino Sportaza.

I made a withdrawal request, which is still pending after many days. I have contacted customer support several times, and they keep telling me that the financial department is processing the withdrawal. However, their explanations are inconsistent.

The withdrawal should have been completed within three days, but more than twice that time has already passed. According to them, they are experiencing problems, but they are not providing me with a solution.

During my complaints, one agent told me that there was no withdrawal request at all, even though I can clearly see it as pending. After that, they said it was a mistake and that the withdrawal does exist, and that I need to keep waiting.

Then, another agent told me that I should cancel the withdrawal because there is an issue with the method I selected. However, the system does not give me the option to cancel the withdrawal and request a new one. When I reported this, they told me I have to wait for the request to be canceled automatically, but they do not know how long that will take.

After that, another agent told me that the request is correctly submitted and that I just need to wait for it to be resolved, and that it will be resolved.

During all these complaints, live chat agents would abruptly end the conversation, forcing me to restart my complaint two or three times each time.

At this moment, I have been blocked from accessing the live chat, and I can only communicate via email. The same people who spoke to me through live chat are now replying by email, telling me to keep waiting.

I am attaching proof that the withdrawal is still pending, as well as evidence of the times my conversations were cut off and that I have not received a proper response.

Please understand that I do not speak English and that I am using a translator to submit this complaint. I kindly ask you to consider my situation and help me resolve this issue.
