Complaint #30 Sugar Casino

Unfairly Banned My Account & Seized My winnings

By Toni K.

Message on forum

Sugar Casino was contacted via email, where they accused me of having breached the Bonus Terms & Conditions. As a result, they closed my account and refused to pay my winnings 1611,8€. (205,80€ and 1406€)

I played with a full bonus which was 200€ deposit and I got 200€ bonus cash to my account. I played different games like Coins of Egypt, Jimi Hendrix and Guns N Roses with maximum bet which is 4€. I am sure that a large percentage of players are playing the max bet you set which is 4€. I think that I have not violated the rules at any point and my account even before the bans were identified of which I have attached a sceenshot of my mail. I do not understand Sugar Casino´s policy to defraud or to call this a violation of the rules, I have added this screenshot which also can be read in ”unfair advantage of bonuses”.

And one thing I really haven´t broken is ”Only on bonus per promotional offer is allowed per player, account, address, computer and IP address. Sugar Casino reserves the right to close any account that is deemed a duplicate account, and confiscate the funds of this account”. In my opinion, this accusation is absolutely wrong.

I require Sugar Casino to act fairly toward its players and pay me the winnings due to no breach of the rules at any time.

Best regards

Toni

Bonuses offered by Sugar Casino are solely intended for genuine recreational players only. Bonus/Promotional abuse will not be tolerated. Player betting patterns and activity are constantly monitored and in case of bonus abuse, Sugar Casino reserves the right to cancel, suspend or lock any player account found guilty of abuse as well as void/revoke any pending gaming activity and refund the original deposit. Sugar Casino can also decide at its own discretion to ban any player from participating in Sugar Casino’s promotions for a definite or indefinite period of time as decided by Sugar Casino’s management.

Dear Sugar Casino & Ask Gamblers

I think it´s disrespectful of the Sugar Casino to ignore the text I kindly wrote above, and not to answer the questions it contains. It can be noted that the accusations made against me by the Sugar Casino are not correct. They do not answer my questions in accordance with the rights I have. They just override these as if they had not even been presented in the above text.

As an additional remark, can also see that they are just copying the answers to me about another accusation against them. I think they should treat each complaint fairly and not just copy their replies from one complaint to another.

I hope they will pay my winnings as soon as possible.
Best Regards
Toni

Dear Sugar Casino,

Please kindly provide evidence for askgamblers to be seen and iterpreted because your claim is inaccurate and completely wrong. I do not play under the name of KRIGE10 quaranteed. That can certainly also be seen from my IP address and the documents which I have sent to you several times.

Your statement ”In light of this complaint we can conclude that it’s not the first time the “player” has been caught using the same modus operandi to defraud casinos” is actually my first time that this happens to me. In this sentence you are referring that I am the same person with this player, which is not true. In addition, your link (https://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/betrally-unfairly-closed-my-account-and-confiscated-my-eur4-064-winnings) that you put in this view is a complaint made by a different playes as I am. So I do not understand your point of view that I would be this player or connected to this player. I want to emphasize that with the aforementioned player we don´t have a group upright that is also argued. So your argument is wrong.

I think it is unreasonable to ask Askgamblers to block my account because of this complaint. I use Askgamblers almost everyday because as a site it works great and from there you can see various casino deals that I play on different pages and so did I with Sugar Casino. The fact that you are invoking a group of gaming, and betting in games that I have played is not right. Because the games I play are definitely the most popular games that is in Sugar Casino. And the bet I use is always maximum depending on the casino. The 4€ bet is due to the rules you have drawn up and so many other players will play with the same bets as I do, or am I wrong. All the accusation you have made so far is untenable for sure.

In addition, it is also apparent that your casino will have a number of complaints that will not give you a fair deal and a good image of your service. It is unwise to blame players for the same person, especially when you have no proper proof of it, for example home address or IP address. In addition, the identity card which I have submitted to you, it can be seen clearly that it´s me and nobody else.

I assume that you are now doing the right thing and you pay me the winnings which belongs to me because your claim is false. I think you just want to make a harm for me by delaying the payment and threatening to close my user account in 5 days and then I have no chance of getting my money back.

Best Regards
Toni

Not amending Email typo which is causing issues with KYC

When I signed up to sugar casino I made a typo on the email as I have dyslexia. I finished the email as @outllok.com when obv it should be @outlook.com.

I have been on chat numerous times to get it amended and keep getting told to email. I have emailed numerous times (see attached evidence). No one responds to me. So the email is not being updated.

This is causing issues for me to do KYC as I've uploaded my documents numerous times but they aren't being verified and the message in my account keeps saying they will email me. But obv I can't get those emails as they are going to a non existent account due to the typo.

I have 70 euro in the account and need help having this mediated so the email is amended.

Thank you!

Winnings problem

I was playing on sugarcasino and had winnings of 1000 euros in withdrawal.
While my winnings were in withdrawal and my balance at 0.00 I got some free spins which I then played until my balance was at 0.00. After that I cancelled my withdrawal of 1000euros so I could play more but right after the cancellation they reset my balance from 1000 to 50 euros claiming I broke the term "2.1.4. For Free Spins offered without a deposit requirement, the maximum amount of winnings that can be withdrawn is 50 EUR (or the equivalent in any other currency)". the 1000 euros was won by my own deposited money not by any bonuses or freespins.

Stalling my €2,500 withdrawal

Made a withdrawal on the 27th of November which was not processed. The funds were returned to the casino account. Made a 2nd try on the 1st of December which doesn't get processed either. The amount is 2500€ and since they removed the Trustly method, it seems really difficult to process any withdrawals.

KYC Verification issues

I have a pending withdrawal of 541 € on sugar casino.

I did send in my KYC verification document to gammix ltd on the 28th of October.

But somehow they haven't been able to process it or give me any feedback on the matter since that day.

The support agents only tell me they have notified the relevant department and that they ”probably” are gonna process it soon.

I mean it's been like 2 weeks soon since they got my documents. I don't see any justification for not even getting any feedback on the matter.

Delayed verification beyond reasonable time and a horrible support experience

Hello,

I've played on sugarcasino for a few years and never had any issues,

On the 24th of october I managed to win a lot of money (for me that is)

So I made a withdrawal, that's when the issues started.

They asked me for KYC documents that I sent in and provided some extra documents due to them not being enough on the 30th of October.

I'm trying to get answers to what is delaying my verification but I get no real answer from anyone of the support staff members that I've talked to. They all say different things, all from not knowing there's a KYC to some standard answer like ”there are currently many withdrawals so please be patient”

The withdrawals are 2 different of a total of 3100Euros

Please help me get in contact and try to sort this out.

Delayed withdrawal and verification process

Hi. I requested a withdrawal for 224€ from Sugarcasino 2021-10-10 and was asked to provide the KYC documents. I sended all documents and while I was waiting i got lucky again and made another request for a withdrawal on 800€.
I recieived a mail that they needed a copy for a bank statement on 2021-10-23 wich I sended the same day. I have been in contact with the livechat wich is pretty hard to connect to sometimes and they say that they will send a note to the concerned department.
Can someone help me understand why this process is taking so long?

This kinda sucks because I really like Gammix sites and I wanna continue playing there. I have the same issue on Locowin wich is owned by Gammix as well.

Delayed Payment & Technical Issues

I made a withdrawal request of $600 on October 7th. The request was pending for a few days and the I chatted into support, indicating that an email was sent requesting documents. (I received no email) I then sent in the documents that day, and the receipt of the documents was acknowledged by support. I was asked to wait 48 hours for verification. This was 6 days ago. I canceled the request to change the withdrawal method. Now I cannot request the withdrawal because every action (including opening games) draws a system error. I’ve been unable to resolve this with support because either the chat is not answered or because the agent disconnects the chat. I am looking for assistance from a casino representative to complete this withdrawal.

Verification and payout stalled by casino

Hello,

After my first cashout request on 03.09.2021 of 1000 USD which I cancelled later on, system errors occured on the website with every action I took.

After I contacted the support, I was told to verify my account sending them following documents for verfication:

proof of identity
proof of address
proof of bank account

I sent those documents as requested on the 09.09.2021.

On the 15.09.2021 I received an answer that the mail was forwarded to the "relevant team".

After another week I received on 24.09.2021 two mails from them 1 mail saying that my account is still being verified and another mail with this content:

"Kind reminder that there are outstanding documents for your account verification.

Please refer to the previous communication sent from our department for more details."

Unfortunately it was never communicated which documents are outstanding in the whole process as I have sent all initially requested documents to them.

Very unhappy with the communication and verification process.

Br,

David
