Failed to Compensate According to Games Stated Pay Table

Hello, I opened an account in bitstarz and I deposited 20$ and got a bonus. I won 100$ they told me like every scam casino that you are not eligible for this bonus and that they would close my account and refund the 20$ deposit....14 days and am still waiting for this refund.. I literally sent them more than 40 email and always the same answer. There is no estimated time frame, so they can send it in 30 years or maybe 100. My complaint is that no respectful casino will ever tell u no estimated time for refund..

I have been using bitstarz for a while and cash out many times with no issues what so ever, but this time when I hit cash out I decided to take a permeant break from their site, which took away all of my access to getting back into the site. Me thinking since I already hit the cash out button and that the cash out was already in progress to be sent to my bitcoin wallet that it would send the withdraw and my account would be disabled, but however that was not the case.

After I hit the take a permeant break, bitstarz actually stopped the withdraw process for some reason and has not sent my remaining funds to me in what is now about to be two weeks. Every time I ask them if they heard anything on the process or have a time frame of when I might get my withdraw they say they haven't heard anything from the department yet & that they hope to hear something soon. The first person I spoke to with on live chat after this happened told me I could do a manual withdraw if I sent them my wallet address, so I did, but after I sent them my wallet manually to verify that it was the address I wanted to use still, they decided to change their mind on the manual withdraw, which didn't make any sense to me.

Yes I've made two separate withdrawals on my account. I have not received them. Been told that there's issues and be available within 24 hours or sooner. But it's been over 24 hours. I've also made a deposit and it was approved on blockchain and I haven't received that either. I'm just basically told 24 hours was told the same thing again today. They're showing pending.

About a month ago I was not awarded a bonus round on Quickspin’s Golden glyph.

When they got back to me they said their history records don’t reflect any such thing - and even backed it up with a screenshot.

***Now I’d like to say I have played years at Bitstarz and on Quickspin games, and Bitstarz have always been great to deal with and I’ve never had any problems with either of them, technical or otherwise***

Now I’m no computer expert so I want to know whether there is any legitimate reason their history could be different?

It was only a 20c spin but the thought they could ‘potentially’ be scamming customers so blatantly is nagging at me and has left me questioning how legitimate/ fair online casinos really are as a whole.

I have emailed the videos/screenshots as it’s not giving me an option to attach them here.

Good day

I have an issue with BitStarz Bitcoin Online Casino.

On the 28th of December 2020 I requested a withdrawal after making 5 deposits into my BitStarz online casino account. In total it was 9.89678893 BTC.

Here is the Bitcoin Address I paid to and the Blockchain link showing the transactions.

Address: 37wzzF7M1NZVpVRhimXhS4pebXRiwRPyxp

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/37wzzF7M1NZVpVRhimXhS4pebXRiwRPyxp

During my gambling session, I won roughly 30 BTC. I made a withdrawal request and shortly after I received an email from Sean at from BitStarz Support (Ticket #W82TG) asking for Verification Documents.

I then sent what they requested.

- A copy of my passport.

- A photo of my face (selfie) with my government issued passport with a paper with the word Bitstarz and the date.

- My proof of address.

Doing that already made me uncomfortable because the whole reason for using Bitcoin is to stay anonymous. However, I did as they requested.

Later that day, I received a phone call from one of the Bitstarz support / finance department personal. I have spoken to him and he seemed satisfied.

Yes, after all of this, they reversed my withdrawal. I had over 40 BTC in my account. During some more gambling, I have lost and my remaining balance was +- 22 BTC.

After this, I received an email saying that they are blocking my account until they are satisfied with my verification. Which I've already sent to them.

As things stand now, my account is blocked. I cannot get access to the +- 12 BTC I've won, not even my own 9.89678893 BTC that I have deposited.

After numerous emails back and forth, I have requested that they return my original 9.89678893 BTC to the original address that I've sent it from. In turn, I received an email saying that they have seized the BTC.

In my layman understanding of this is that they are not satisfied with my verification and refuse to return my original BTC to the original address it was sent from. In other words, they literally stole 9.89678893 BTC from me. I have done what they asked and they still are not satisfied.

I humbly request that you assist me in this matter. 9.89678893 BTC is a lot of money that I cannot just write off. They said something in one of the emails about AML legislation etc which is absolutely ridiculous. All I ask is that they return my original 9.89678893 BTC to the addresses it was sent from then there is no AML issues at all. Yes, they refuse and by the looks of things they want to steel my 9.89678893 BTC and the winnings on top of that.

I really hope that you would be able to assist me in this matter.

Kind regards,

Bitstar game "The Nutcracker kicker me out up in getting 5 x free spin symbols after putting several thousand dollars into the machines.

Issue occurred Friday 6 Sept 2019 @15:54pm. at the time I had 17 free games remaining an was already on a x 4 win multiplier with 17 games remaining. Butstarz strung me along telling me that I would receive an email and that the game would be fixed and finally telling me almost 3 days later that I could log in and culd resume my feature if I again removed all cookies and history and did a fresh log in or used another device. I dd this repeatedly for several more days loging in daily and advising again that the game would allow me back in:

Customer Service last message was on Mon, 09/09/19 12:14 pm saying that the game had been fixed.

I followed up imediately 10 minutes later o@ Mon, 09/09/19 12:25 pm advising that the game kept booting me despite the instructions I'd been given having been completed repeatedly. Supplying both error screen shots and asking for resolution.

I then follow up via the ticket lof and I believe via support aswell checking the game on a daily basis. Post Bitstarz last contact I have email message via the ticket on the following dates:

4 Days +6 hrs Tuesday, 10 September 2019 10:41:06 pm - My free games still hasn’t returned, I can log in to the game but no free spins, and

upon attempting to spin the reels I get the attached error message. Further screen shots attached showing the error messages received proving issue not resolved and asking for a url I might be able to access the game through manually.

"6 Days + 16 Hours after incident "Friday 13 September message saying that it is almost a week and I hadn;t heard from anyone since the

NO RESPONSE 2019, 2:08:22 am" previous Monday, just long enough for the deposits to clear from the CC then I didn't hear from them again in response to any of my message. Advised that isn't sorted by then i’ll lodge an official complaint with your licensing body, and report the to ask gamblers. I don’t want to take that route, But have no chouce as I;m not hearing from them. Still heard nothinig.

6 days + 19 hrs Emailed Nick Head of casino Who emailed me regarding a big winner so I responded syaing that I;ve been waiting over a week for a resolution and without any update to repeated inquiries at all for 5 days so instead of self promoting why don;t you service the customers issues. AGAIN NO Response now as of Moday september 16th haven't heard back from anyone since Mon, 09/09/19 12:14 pm, not a peep in over a week and since all the transactions cleared. Voted best casino??? What a joke.

I have all the screen shots from the game, all the communications about the issues and proof of issue game number just need an email address to send it.

BitStarz Casino,

20 Free Spins yielded a win. A maximum withdrawal amount of up to 0.3BCH after playthrough is met according to the Term Agreement. However the system would not allow me to submit a withdrawal request. The crypto address field is disabled and so I sought the assistance of a BitStarz support hero. Here comes Henry to save the day! Henry reviews the account for a minute and figured: “ To enable the withdrawal method you need to make deposit with it.” I asked how much, it was 0.14BCH (chat log attached in this email)

I made my deposit as instructed. As I waited for confirmations to complete, I realized I need to know what will happen to my deposit of 0.15BCH which was added to my post playthrough balance of .528BCH at the time. I opened chat again (spoke to Mark) and was advised to add my deposit on top of the 0.3BCH. I submitted the withdrawal in the amount of 0.45490560BCH. After the cashout confirmation email process, I received an email from Richard that said they found my account as duplicated and is a violation of BitStarz’s T&C. And all funds in my account has been seized in full, the account was also disabled and I can no longer login. I thought maybe there was a mistake and so I asked to be sent a copy or documentation of this alleged violation charged against me. BitStarz replied saying there is no charge. Claimed that multiple accounts were linked to my account and so a decision was made to confiscate the full balance. (Transcript of conversation attached with this email)

Now I’m really confused and frustrated. I have been accused of a violation but refused to provide evidence to substantiate the charge. Denied me access to my winnings and deposit monies. But no there is no charge against you. Are you serious? This is the best you can come up with? I wonder how many others experienced my situation.

Here’s another view of the scenario:

I recently signed up and made several deposits using my credit cards totalling almost 1200$. I played and requested to withdraw 900. However, they wont pay me back to my credit card and only are giving me the instadebit and ecopayz options. I do not have either of those. My instadebit account was closed several years ago and cannot open another. And i dont have the ability to open an ecopayz. So they say they wont pay out my winnings. I physically cannot open those accounts/options so they told me I lost all money/deposits. I have the chat transcript where they told me this.
