Failed deposit taking too long to investigate


6 years ago
Dear Ask Gamblers,

Please assist me in the following :

With my first deposit of 50 euro's in this casino i got an error and the deposit ( via trustly ) wasn't added to my balance. I contacted support directly and uploaded the requested transaction screenshot on the 8th of April. After the first deposit i did make some successful deposits where one of 40 euro's also failed but was added to balance a bit later. The reason i'm so sure about the first deposit as the runs were so poor that i never came above the deposited amount.

I have contacted support several times where they first please contact trustly, but i got the same answer from trustly to proof that the casino could not do anything.

I contacted the westcasino support again and said they were investigating and need more information like screenshots of all the deposits i have made to the casino and a full bank statement of all the transactions. The bankstatement i thought was a bit over the top as i provided all the transaction details already and pointed out which transaction failed. This was on the 10th of april. Since i lost quite some money due to poor performance of the game i excluded myself as a member.

When i now contact the support of the casino, they tell me that they are still investigating the incident. On e-mails they are not responding anymore. But missing funds for 1,5 now ( 18th April) is in my mind unacceptable. It's not about the 50 euro's but this becomes a case of principle as i probably would have lost it anyway.

Since i don't get any satisfactory answer from the casino anymore i hope this complain will speed things up and the casino realises that support is important even with self-exculded customers should not be ignored. My issue will be solved when the 50 euro fund has been returned on my bank account.

Kind regards Vaperesso

Dear Ask Gamblers,

I have been able to withdrawn the 50 euro's and case can be closed.

@westcasino , i have withdrawn the amount so please self-exclude the account again.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Vaperesso,

Apologies for the delayed response, Just got back and caught up on the issue presented above.

I personally pushed for a response from Trustly and the issue has been resolved. The stuck transaction has been adjusted by them and we have been able to see it and credit it on our end.

This usually does not happen and we're not sure why the initial response from them was negative but getting this fixed was a priority for us, that I can assure you.

You will be able to withdraw the funds when you login to your account after which the self-exclusion will be re-applied.

Thank you for your understanding and I wish you a great day ahead.

Best Wishes,
Ed Blake

Casino not verifying account
On 8.9.2024, I had 1329€ after wagering a bonus, I withdrew the money and started verifying my account. I then uploaded a picture of my ID card to the site on the same day. On 16.9, they sent me an email (screenshot) saying that my withdrawal has been placed back in my balance, as I had sent them a "blurry" image of my ID, and hadn't send them an official bank statement yet. I then uploaded a bank statement, and new pictures of my ID card on 17.9.

As I hadn't heard anything from them, I contacted them through live chat on 31.9, and asked what is the hold up, since the verification of the documents should take only 1-3 days, as their site says. The live chat operative told me that they "trust" that the verification team is going to contact me once they are done with the verification, nothing else.

On 1.10 I again asked what is the hold up, and told them I'd contact AskGamblers on the following friday if my account hasn't been verified and money withdrawn because my verification is being held up for no reason.

On 4.10, they sent an email (screenshot) saying that, again, the pictures of my ID card are blurry (none of the pictures were blurry, other sites had accepted them without a problem). I humored them and sent them new pictures of my ID cards for the third time. I sent the pictures on 4.10, and waited again, and as I received no response I decided to contact the customer support through email on 10.10 (screenshot), and they told me that the documents I send have to be valid and that the finance team will check it "as soon as they can".

It's been 4 days since that and I haven't heard anything from them, so I thought its time to open a complaint here, as it seems they are just using delay tactics and trying to make me play the balance away.

Operator deliberately ignoring emails

I have been trying to get in touch with WestCasino regarding a legal issue about their operator in my country of residence since December 11, 2022. Hence, I contacted them via e-mail on December 11 and 19 with my initial request. Since I did not get a response whatsoever, I sent follow-ups reminding them about my writings on December 20 and January 9 2023.

Please find proof of my e-mails attached to this writing. In the meantime, I got in touch with their live-chat several times, as I simply did not hear anything at all from their e-mail support. There, I was told, "Live-Chat support and e-mail support are to different departments and both cannot access each other's data." Hence, they could not tell me if they received any of my e-mails or were processing them. However, I was told multiple times I would receive an answer "soon".

Since that had not happened after one month, I decided to bring in my lawyer. Therefore, I needed my official transaction history on their Casino. On January 14, I contacted the operator again, asking for said transaction history. This time, after two days, I was told to contact their DPO - which I did. I have not heard from them since January 16.

On January 31 I resent my initial request with more detailed information. On February 3, I reminded them about my e-mail and asked for a confirmation of receipt. I have not heard from WestCasino since then.

I gave the operator the benefit of the doubt for some time. However, I have been waiting for almost two months now and have not heard anything at all (!) regarding my request. I would love to solve this issue through my lawyer, though I also do not get any responses from the operator's DPO.

WestCasino simply seems to be intentionally ignoring my request for whatever reason, as my e-mails clearly come through - since they responded to my request about my transaction history within two days. I had also thought that perhaps my e-mails did not come through, however, my e-mail provider always informs me within seven days if such a thing happened.

With this public complaint, I would like to utter my discontent about the way the operator is handling this issue. I would like to specifically point out that this complaint does not regard the legal issue behind my initial complaint (I will either try to find a solution with the operator itself or resolve the entire matter in court), but the way the support team simply ignores any of my e-mails. I understand requests sometimes can take longer to process, however having to wait almost two months without hearing anything really goes beyond anything I have seen before.

I am hopeful this complaint will encourage the operator to finally get in touch and find a timely solution to my request.


Kind regards

S
