Won $3000 and then account gets locked


I had noticed that Rich Casino was listed in the recommended column of this site. I have played at numerous casinos so I try to be diligent with which ones I go to. My only concern with Rich and sister casinos was that people had posted about winning and then account being locked, or being accused of betting patterns etc. I joined Rich casino recently and was lucky enough to meet all play through and win $3000.00. I wasn't able to submit a request until I sent all my paperwork in. I sent all paperwork in, and (like I had read in a couple reviews), my withdrawal was denied. Reason being, I needed to file paperwork with Thebes....ok, I did that and all paperwork was accepted. In the mean time I had emailed Rich back to say that I had complied with sending paperwork to sister casino and asked if now my withdrawal could be approved (also note that Rich Casino had pointed out on second withdrawal request that I had hit Echeck by mistake so I would need to change it.....ok great, I did....so now all paperwork for both casinos (made multiple deposits at Thebes in between all of this), and I was thinking ok, I'll get my winnings (granted $500.00 a week)....I go to log in this morning to check progress and both my Rich and Thebes accounts have been locked out!! Just like some of the reviews had said and exactly what I was concerned about, It says "account locked" contact them, but I couldn't find a number and my account is locked so I can't do the chat, I have emailed numerous times with both casinos over past week but now they lock account? I could email them but I already have multiple times to make sure paperwork was all sorted. I followed all of the rules, and only played slots so there is no systematic betting. I regularly play at 15 different online casinos, and you can see from my history here many that I have played at. I followed all the rules and all the requests for paperwork. Please help me resolve this.

Refusal Winnings Dispute

I am disputing RichCasino’s decision to not approve withdrawal on the total amount of my recent winnings. I will provide screenshots from my RichCasino reconciliation page and the relevant Terms & Conditions from their User Agreement which outlines what is and isn’t a considered a bonus.

I’ll briefly explain the relationship between RichCasino and myself, and the events that led up to them refusing my winnings valued at $26,271 AUD.

I have had vip status with Rich Casino for quite a while and currently am the highest level they offer to players. I have an agreement with Ron the VIP Manager that for all deposits under 2000 I receive 20% cash back and anything over 50%. In the event I have incurred considerable loses he will manually apply real cash to my account. On the 26th of July 2022 I had made enough deposits for him to approve 300AUD “Real Cash”. This adjustment has the same classification as “Cash-back Bonuses” described in section 3.14. of their Bonus Rules.

I have never had any wagering requirements or max bet size on these Real Cash additions which could only ever be approved by Ron. They would always be added to my cash balance and I have never requested deposit bonuses due to the fact wagering requirements, bet and win limits would then apply to my winnings.

I have won several times with these Real Cash Additions in the past where I successfully withdrew LTC valued at roughly 2000AUD.

Also I had asked the question countless times if there was wager, bet or win limits on these additions and was always told there are no terms and conditions associated as it is “Real Cash” and not a bonus. And I’ll prove that in the screenshots that follow.

Please note that in the Reconciliation screenshots the 300 in which the disputed winnings came from does not appear in “Bonus Awarded” or “Bonus Detail” but in the “Manual Adjustment” section alongside cash back defined as a “Monetary Reward based on real loses”. Ron would not ever apply these Real Cash additions if I hadn’t made any deposits. And the amount he would add would be based off my deposit activity. Nowhere in their User Agreement or Terms and Conditions does it pertain to “Cash Bonus” that is based off my deposits which has no wager or bet size limit and a max withdrawal of 500. He has picked sections from multiple sub-parts and applied them all in his favour to avoid paying me.
