West Casino - Confiscated £940 winnings unfairly

Hello all,

Just a background on the complaint. I setup an account with West Casino back in December. I used their welcome bonus and lost. Then, at the start of January they emailed me with another promotion (70% deposit bonus + 140 free spins). I ended up winning and withdrawing £940.

I sent away everything needed to verify the account which wasn't a problem. However several days later on 14th January I received an email stating the winnings had been confiscated;

'Please be informed that the winnings (the total amount from your withdrawal request) were confiscated, according to our Terms & Conditions :

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PLAYING WITH BONUSES

1. Each promotional bonus is limited to one per user, IP address, computer device, family, residential address, telephone number, credit or debit card and/or e-payment account, e-mail address, and environments where computers are shared (university, school, public library, workplace, etc.), unless otherwise stated in the Promotions' Terms.

3. West Casino reserves the right to confiscate any bonuses or winnings received in a fraudulent manner or generated from games which are restricted from being played with active bonus. West Casino rules forbid abusing bonus offers. If such abuse is discovered, the Casino has a right to confiscate the winnings and deny the player any bonus access.

Your last deposit amount of 20 GBP has been left in your balance, and you can request a withdraw.

Kindly note that our decision is final regarding this matter.'

I know for a fact that this is my first and only account with this new casino. Their live chat also stated that I hadn't breached any terms regarding wagering requirements. I didn't use any fraudulent behaviour to complete wagering (ie. reducing bet size after a large win) or use any games that were on an exclusion list for promotions. I'm therefore completely stumbled about how they have come to this decision.

Many thanks,

James

Hey Ed Blake,

Thanks again for the response.

I understand that your system has flagged that there are multiple accounts under the certain IP address.

By multiple accounts, do you mean more than 2? Is it possible that the IP address has been recycled? Which is completely out of my control. I know that no one in my household has signed up to the West Casino before.

I understand that it is strictly confidential information, however, is it possible for you to check if the other multiple accounts are in any way related to my account?

Is it possible that Every Matrix has combined my information from another casino to make it flag this error?

Can I also note that the second deposit bonus that I used to sign up stated that it was a limited time offer and doesn't say anywhere that it is part of the welcome package.

*The Promotion is active for the following 48hrs. 

* This Promotion cannot be combined with other on-going or special promotions.

Your terms and conditions of this offer state that it cannot be combined with any other promotions. This means that as I accepted this deposit offer, my welcome bonus would have been exempt/ cancelled.

Apologies for all the hassle but I wouldn't be fighting this other than the fact that I know I didn't do anything wrong.

Thanks again Ed

Hello JPEARCE622SB

Hope my message finds you well.
Your account is sharing more than 1 IP with multiple accounts that claimed bonuses welcome package (i.e. first, second and third deposit bonuses).

As per our terms and conditions, this is a violation of the following.

1. Each promotional bonus is limited to one per user, IP address, computer device, family, residential address, telephone number, credit or debit card and/or e-payment account, e-mail address, and environments where computers are shared (university, school, public library, workplace, etc.), unless otherwise stated in the Promotions' Terms.

The winnings were void due to:

3. West Casino reserves the right to confiscate any bonuses or winnings received in a fraudulent manner or generated from games which are restricted from being played with active bonus.

Hello everyone,

Every Matrix has responded to my complaint via email stating the following:

'We have analysed your case and reached the conclusion that the bonus confiscation is correct as per the following T&C article:

1. Each promotional bonus is limited to one per user, IP address, computer device, family, residential address, telephone number, credit or debit card and/or e-payment account, e-mail address, and environments where computers are shared (university, school, public library, workplace, etc.), unless otherwise stated in the Promotions' Terms.

We have detected in our system that multiple accounts using the IP x.xx.xxx.xxx have received the first deposit bonus. Your account was among them and, as a result, the winnings were confiscated.'

I know that this is the only account on my internet connection and really can't understand what has happened.

Can I state also that the winnings confiscated were from my second deposit as stated above in my initial complaint (not the first deposit which they say in their email response).

Please let me know if there is any evidence you would need from me to help prove my case.

Many thanks all,
James

Macht Probleme mit virtueller Kreditkarte

Hallo,

Ich habe bei Westcasino einen Bonus (200 Freesbins für 20 Euro ohne Umsatzbedingungen) genutzt und mit virtueller Klarna Card eingezahlt. Ich habe gewonnen und eine Auszahlung beantragt. Es kam die übliche Mail das ich mich mit Adressnachweis, Ausweis und Screenshot der Karte verifizieren muß.

Ich habe darauf hin sämtliche Dokumente per Mail zugesendet. Es kam zurück das sie noch ein Foto vom Ausweis und einen Screenshot von beiden Seiten der Kreditkarte benötigen.

Also sendete ich ein Foto vom Ausweis und schrieb dazu das ich eine virtuelle Kreditkarte benutzt habe und das es zu dieser Karte nur einen Screenshot von der Seite mit der Nummer gibt und auf diese Karte der Name nicht darauf steht weil es ja nur die eine Seite gibt.

Es kam eine Mail zurück das sie einen Kontoauszug brauche auf dem die Kartennummer darauf ist und mein Name. Ich sendete den Kontoauszug mit der Bemerkung das die Kartennummer auf dem Kontoauszug bei Klarna nie darauf ist zurück und noch einen Screenshot der Karte.

Ich schrieb noch dazu da sie ja anhand des Kontoauszuges die Zahlung zuordnen können und mein Name ja auf dem Kontoauszug steht. Es kam eine Mail zurück das sie einen Kontoauszug mit der Kartennummer und dem Name darauf brauchen und einen anderen Screenshot der Karte und das ich das ja verstehen solle und das sie so nich auszahlen.

Das Geld wurde zurück auf das Spielerkonto transferiert. Es handelt sich nun um einen Streitwert von 400 Euro.

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.
