Threats From Tropica Casino!

Message on forum

Tropica Casino was making chargers to my card without my behalf, I contacted them to try to work it out and told them if they did not fix the problem I would be contacting my bank. The responses were beyond horrific, and I feel I need to share it with as many people as possible so no one will do business with them again.

The first response to my initial email about working things out before I contacted my bank:

"Dear Criminal,

We have received notification that you have disputed your transactions.

Here is what is going to happen now:

1. We will use a collection agency to recover our money along with a fee
of $150 per transaction.
2. Your credit rating will be destroyed
3. You will be reported to the police and banks for fraud
4. Your details will be shared with all US facing casinos
5. Your credit cards will be posted online
6. Your friends and family will be contacted.

You will learn that committing fraud in this manner will not pay.

You should be ashamed of your actions.

You have 24 hours to rectify this situation or we will ruin you
financially."

So I was called a criminal, was threatened by them that the would illegally leak my information publicly, and that they would "ruin me" financially, DISGUSTING.

I then got another email from them a couple of weeks later.

"Hi,

You are a loser. A joke. We have a collection agency preparing the
collection now.

You will not get away with this and you are most welcome to tell the
police that you made deposits even though you knew it was illegal.

You are trailer park trash and you will get what is coming to you."

This casino, if you even want to call them that, are not only one of the biggest scammers on the internet, but are THREATENING me. It is disgusting, I don't even know what to do except for continue to file the complaints as I have. But I needed to share this information and those emails with as many as possible.

Hi Askgamblers,

First and foremost, this player aside, I can not believe that you would even consider entertaining or allowing any player that has charged back to have a say on a forum like this. How can they come to you and even have a right to slander a casino when in fact they were the guilty party and we must just sit back and take the public abuse with no right to defend ourselves. Please explain to me how else would you like me to publicly prove our innocence should we have proof that a player has signed and agreed to the deposits?

However, I do agree that the communication to her was unacceptable and will be handled differently in future. It has been addressed internally.

I recommend to you that you do not allow players to slander other casino when they charge back after knowingly making deposits at a casino. This removes all their rights in my eyes.

The player has come to an agreement to settle, so this matter should be closed.

Please mark as resolved.

Regards,
Duwayne

We would like to remind Tropica Casino that the way they are communicating with the submitter of this complaint is totally unacceptable! No more threats neither any attempts for an intimidation of revealing sensitive personal information will be tolerated! Even if it turns out the player to be some kind of a fraudster and we believe this is not the case, what you are doing here is beyond any imagination for a fair and professional approach in resolving an issue with a player!

We sincerely hope that you are going to reconsider the way you are handling this case and find a better way of communication with your players. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Hi Samantha,

Perhaps blackmailing isn't the right way to put it. It's more like slandering us in public, when in fact, we have did nothing wrong to start with. Yes, I can agree the aggressive approach is not to everyone's liking and yes I don't agree with it from a personal point of view but our collection agency is quite aggressive in their approach to make thieves or fraudsters pay.

Let me explain something, I generally deal with affiliates and don't get involved in player problems to often unless it effects our casino reputation on an affiliate website. This is when I get involved. I have not spoken to our lawyer or any one else regarding this matter. I have simply looked at your account and see that you have decided to deposit and play and then decided to charge back your transactions. Now this no longer makes you a customer of the casino but more of a thief or even perhaps a fraudster of some sorts and that is when our security and risk team take this matter extremely seriously. In effect, you have stolen 'goods' from us.

I ask now that this matter gets dropped from this complaint section or I will need to post evidence to prove the casino's innocence in this matter. The only way I can do this, is by publicly posting your security documents as confirmation that you agreed to the deposits made. I have no other choice.

Kind regards,
Duwayne

Not paying my withdrawal

I withdrew on March 4th, about 4 weeks ago for $800. but after trying to communicating with them. I am not getting any answers from them. Every time i visit the casino to check on my withdrawal, I get a message asking to reverse my withdrawal. I have played there many times before and they usually paid my withdrawals in a timely manner but it seems like they are ignoring me now.

Documents were approved, then deleted after I made a deposit

On may 25th, I sent my documents in. About 1-2 weeks later I was told my documents were accepted and approved by live support. About a month later I asked live support again (different agent this time) if my documents and account are all good. I was told yes there’s nothing else I need to do. So I went ahead and deposited $25 so I’m able to make withdraws and then I tried to withdraw the $100 I won from a free chip bonus. Shortly after another support agent told me my documents were not on my account and that I would need to resend the same email I sent a while ago so I did. And to no surprise they were declined this time. Makes absolutely no sense, so I just wanted to get a refund and they made a huge hassle over it. I will upload all the proof I got.

Delayed Withdrawal

I submitted a withdrawal request from this casino for $600 on 3/28. I still have not received my funds although I have submitted multiple email requests and was told that I would receive the money. I also deposited $25 per the casino’s request (they said a deposit was required in order to release the funds) and still nothing. Please see below; this response was from Saturday 5/27. I can forward you my other emails. < personal info removed > Dear Kate, Thank you, your funds will be sent this week.

Grossly delayed payment

They do not pay because I played. More than 10% in one slot

Tropica Casino No Bonus €3800 NO PAY

I never play with a bonus to avoid the problems involved being paid.

I played in Tropica Casino for the first time made €400 deposit and played Roulette.

I got lucky and won €3800 and cashed out.

They asked for notarized ID and picture of myself holding the ID.

Although I was never requested to send such info I went to the notary office and sent them everything they asked for.

Their claims are ridiculous .

Hi Chantal,

Your account is locked for a number of reasons:

1. Suspicious behaviour and gameplay
2. Suspicious documentation
3. Multiple Accounts across the Rival Network
4. Using a Betting System to play
5. Non compliance with documentation request
6. Multiple IPs
7. VPN Software detected

As a result, your account has been suspended and will remain as such at
Tropica Casino.

Your €400 deposit will be refunded to Neteller today.

Regards,
Tropica Security

1. I never used any betting system to play. I made the deposit and bet on 2,3 numbers and got lucky right at the beginning I think it was the second bet I already won at their casino

2. My documents are not suspecious , I sent them the notary office details to verify the authenticity of the documents

3. I played only at 4 casinos using rival

Multiple IPs, the IP changed every day here. VPN - I don"t know what it is, never used a betting system

I won in one more casino in the Rival Network and I got paid smoothly. These are the only cash out I have ever made in the RIval Network. The rest of depostis were lost in the other 3 Casinos I played at.

Voided my winnings

Dear Sir,

I'm writing this to you after desperately seeking help on the internet.

I have won 400usd at Tropica Casino on 26/5/12 and withdraw it.

After waiting patiently, they sent me an email today and with their own reasons - they void my winnings.

They did not even clarify anything with me.

They did not reply my email since then.

It may be a small amount, however i felt i was robbed.

I'm from Singapore and i deposited with legitimate cash.

Here are the email they sent -

Dear Dennis < surname removed >,

Regrettably your withdrawal has been denied and your winnings were void because you are linked to duplicate accounts.

This goes in against the terms of the casino and therefore your withdrawal has been denied and your winnings void.

As per the user agreement, only one account per casino per household/computer/ip is allowed.

Your deposit has been funded back into your casino account and you can log in to withdraw this.

You can still play at the casino for Real or Fun, however you will not be able to claim a bonus at this time. Continuous play can result in a further review of your account to switch your status back to eligible.

Sincerely,

Tropica Customer Support

Pls help me, sir.

Sincerely,

Dennis < surname removed >,

Their reply -

Dear Dennis < surname removed >,,

Following up on your email.

We noticed in the live chat log where you admitted in chat already to violating the multiple accounts per household.

As per this, the issue is logged and finalized.

Our first email's instructions and decision are final.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

Sincerely,

Tropica Customer Service

My reply -

My Questions is this - Why is it when we deposit, you did not highlight any of these multiple account issues?

Just because i won your casino's 400usd, all your T&Cs comes into use.

Shouldn't there be any fairness when you accept my deposit and void my winnings?

Or you think by returning my 25usd deposit is fair when you void my 400usd winnings?

Even when someone commits an crime, the judge will look into all details and consider and even give a chance for the accused to defend himself.

You did took my deposit initially and did not apply your T&C, yet you void my winnings with the same T&C.

I have enjoyed your casino and you returned me with disappointment and robbery.

I did not cheat, hack or abused any of your promotions / games / etc.

Awaiting for your reply.
