Got Me Good!


On Aug 18th I used a free chip to play...After about 15 min. I notice my account dropped 238.00 taking back money from the freeplay which then left me 96.00 to play with...I proceeded to win over 5000.00 and cashed out pending a withdrawal. I checked my account and found that I did have a MANAGER APPROVED WITHDRAWAL!!! After calling the casino to question the time frame I was told I played a FREE CHIP in April and in which case all the money had been forfited! Are you kidding?

You offer free chips and free plays...I did nothing wrong and LOST EVERYTHING!

If this is the way you guys do business

Dear schweetieooww:

I had the chance to check your account with Vip Lounge Casino Accounting Manager.

On 4/23/2011 at 8:07:37 PM a free chip with code APR2011APP was redeemed.

On 8/17/2011 at 10:31:12 PM another free chip with code AUG2011APP was redeemed as well. While playing with this free chip a few cashouts were requested from your side.


First of all I would like to remind you that the AUG2011APP free chip had following restrictions:

$50 Appreciation Chip

30X Playthrough

(60X for Blackjack and Video Poker)

2X Max Cash-Out

Redeem: AUG2011APP

No Deposit Required

(This chip is for depositing members only. If you have not yet made a deposit here, please do so before redeeming this chip.)


This means, maximum cashout with that Free Chip was $100. Also; according to casino rules. Only one free chip is allowed to be redeemed between deposits and this is why your $100 winnings were voided.

"Players cannot redeem multiple free bonuses consecutively. Free chip offers are meant only for our regular loyal players and unless otherwise stated in order to cash out on a free chip offer you should have an active depositing account. If the player has redeemed one no-deposit bonus and is subsequently offered another one, a real-money deposit needs to have been made in the interim for the player to be eligible to redeem the second no-deposit bonus." http:/­/ww­w.v­ipl­oun­gec­asi­no.c­om­/ru­les­_bo­nus.php

I had also the chance to check the account as per your request and records show that both Free chips were redeemed from same IP.

If you need any further assistance please feel free and contact me back.

Cheers

Withdrawal Declined

Hello!

I have redeemed a coupon in VIP Lounge casino and before having reached the playtrough requirements, I have deposited 10$, in order to not be accused of witdrawing without depositing (in their rules page, Portugal players, as it is my case “may not cash out from free chip offers if they have not previously deposited”). I have met the playtrough requirements and managed to win some more to a total ammount of 282$. Once I reached this value (not a fortune), I tried to withdraw 166$. Well, the casino refused my 166$ withdrawal and the manager retrieved the entire ammount won (272$), leaving just my 10$ deposit and 0,28$ that I have no idea why they are there - a little bit inconsistent with what they have told me in the following...

They have told me I have "mixed free chips and deposit", and what did they did? They had withdrawn all my fair winnings and made a fool of me (as I have wasted a lot of time, firstly on the playtrough compliance and then on the time I have spent winning a little bit more money. So, all in all, by depositing 10$ I have lost 272$ without even playing! Makes you think if depositing in this particular casino really pays off!!!

Well, there is nothing on their Free Chip and 'No Play No Max' bonus Rules page that configures a situation like this, adding the fact that Portugal players “may not cash out from free chip offers if they have not previously deposited”, and so I believe they legally can't do this.

This is an unbelievable position, totally unjustified even by their own rules, and as I am a fair player I hope that my winnings are restored and that this complaint would help others like me to see their rights as players consolidated.

Vip Lounge Casino - Late payment, no reply to emails

I have received the "confirmation of winnings" letter from viplounge.com, and they agree that they owe me $1580.00. The problem is that it is taking far longer than what their website says it will take for me to get my overnight check...

I won the money on 11/3, and cashed out originally on 11/4/2011. I saw that I had inadvertantly cashed out as "moneybooker" for payment type, and upon calling was told to go ahead and cash out again, it would not change the date of my original cashout; this was on 11/6, and it did change the date of my withdrawal. I sent in all of the necessary paperwork, which they received per my phone call, and then I finally received a "congratulatory letter" stating that it will take another 10 to 20 working days for them to make the payment on 11/18/11 in the amount of $1,580.00.

Their website clearly states that once that letter is received, it takes no longer than 4 to 7 business days for them to make the payment. I have triple checked their website and sent three or four emails to the "managers" which I have been referred to via phone call and web speak; the ONLY replies I get are automated ones, telling me I will hear from someone within 24 hours, which obviously I do not.

Please, help me to rectify this situation, as they have, indeed, said they owe me the monies, but they are simply taking much too long to send them. I would be happy to send you any emails or documents that would be helpful, but I do not know what kind of screenshot you might want or how to attach it to this complaint...let me know what you need and where to email any info necessary.

Thank you very much in advance for mediating this issue, and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
