Discrimination, Failure to Verify Account & Account Closure

Por Lauren L.

I have enjoyed playing at Gunsbet Casino several times and generally liked the casino and the variety of slots they have. However I put my first withdrawal through on 29/11/17, to then wake up to an email the following morning stating....

Since your documents have reached us, we've noticed, that you have stated incorrect country in you personal profile. Moreover, we do not accept players from Spain, France, United Kingdom and USA. We would like to clarify what was the reason of stating incorrect country when you registered in your personal profile?

Thank you for the understanding!

The withdrawal I put through had also been cancelled and returned to my Gunsbet account. I didn't understand this email as I do not live in any of the countries that the casino listed in email. The live help agent the night before had told me I need to upload my passport as proof of ID and screenshot of my Skrill account. I could only assume after reading this email that they had assumed that because I had a UK passport (as this Is where I was born) that I must still live there. I emailed back explaining that I have been through this with other casinos and that my address in my Gunsbet account Is my correct address and that I do live in Malta not UK, I also sent proof of this. I then went back to account to put withdrawal through again.

I was then shocked to receive this email back...
Your cash out was approved, but unfortunately our casino is not available for you. This decision was made in connection with the fact that you are a citizen UK. it does not matter where you live.at the moment.

Thx for understanding! Administration 

My account with Gunsbet at this points was also closed by them.
Like previously said I have been through this before with many casino's but as soon as they realise I live in Malta and their restriction is with those players playing in UK they verify my account with no problems. I feel like I am being discriminated against based on where I was born.
I sent 2 emails complaining to the casino about this and asking them to double check this with the regulator as this didn't seem right but both my emails have been ignored.
I am also very annoyed as I had 100 free spins left on my account which I planned to use yesterday that I now cant access due to them closing my account. I also play at Loki casino of which they are linked to and have recently deposited there so surely I should have these deposits refunded if I genuinely cannot play at these casino's? and if my account is going to be closed then I should have compensation in regards to my bonus of free spins that I was unable to use? I only deposited there that night as thought the 100 free spins was a good bonus.

Yes I have confirmed that I was born in the UK and yes I have a UK passport but like I have also proven I do live in Malta and these restrictions have never stopped me at any other casino's. I have messaged your regulatory body in regards to this and await a response.

Dear Lauren,

You have already confirmed that you were born in United Kingdom, you do have British ID card and you are a citizen of UK
As per our rules, we do not accept players from UK, as we would like to avoid any possible issues with licensed activity of the British Gambling Committee
Thats why those actions from our side with your account took place.
You have received a withdrawal from us, but, unfortunately, we cannot break our own rules.
In view of all these facts your gaming account has been closed and won't be re-opened

Sorry for any inconveniences caused and thank you for the understanding!

Best Regards,
Gunsbet Casino Team

I can confirm that I have received the withdrawal for the amount of 200 Euros.
However I still strongly disagree with what Gunsbet have stated... I have asked them several time to check with their licence holder about their restrictions which they refuse to do. I am a UK national as this is where I was born but I consider myself a Citizen of Malta and have proved to the Casino that Malta is where I live. I live in Malta, work in Malta, pay taxes in Malta, my kids go to school in Malta, I receive health care in Malta... my one and only link to the United Kingdom is that I was born there. I play at many other casinos that have restrictions around UK players but these never affect me playing at them as I live in Malta (I am verified at all these casinos). This is the first and only casino ever to not allow me, I once had a casino question whether they could allow me but after checking with their regulator they came back to say I was right and can continue to play.

I would also like to note that If Gunsbet managers were to stop and think about what they are trying to state they would realise it makes no sense... So I ask Gunsbet on signing up/registration do you ask players where they live? Answer to this question being yes. Also do you ask players where they were born? Answer to this being no. So why would you ask where I live if this isn't what counts in your eyes but yet you do not ask where I was born but yet apparently this is the thing that counts for just your casino. Doesn't make sense that does it? Now I ask again Gunsbet will you please contact you regulator stating what I have told you about my life being in Malta but just being born in UK and ask them to clarify if I can play.

Delayed payment as my withdrawals are pending for more than 48 hours
Dear AskGambler team,

I would like you to help me to withdraw my funds on GunsBet Casino as my withdrawals are pending for more than 48 hours (and in their term and condition they mentioned it should be paid within 48hours).

Quick history :

18.10 : I submitted 2 withdrawals (5000e and 2500e because their T&C have a weekly limit of 7500e). I contacted the support to know if everything was in order and they confirmed and asked me to confirm the withdraw address which I did)

19.10 : withrawal rejected because they asked me for ID and utility bill (I was fully verified but it was a long time ago, so I did not see any issue to provide the documents once again, verification took a bit less than 24hours

20.10 9am : I resubmitted the 2 withdrawals (5000 and 2500) and during the day the 2500 was approved but not the 5000 one. I contacted my VIP manager who asked me to split in 2 withdrawal of 2500 (which is strange as the limit is 5000)

20.10 11am : I proceed to the changes and I was to told to do 3 withdrawal instead of 2 so I cancelled again to do 3 withdrawal (1400, 1300 and 2300)

21.10 : 1400 paid but still no news/update about the remaining 2300 and 1300

They are clearly in breach of their T&C, I have 2 withdrawal open (2300 and 1300) and a balance of 4500 for which I will request a withdrawal next week as the weekly limit is 7500.

As I didn’t succeed to obtain clear update regarding my payment except « we do everything possible to treat them asap » I am asking to follow up with them because ai would like to understand why it’s taking so much time …

Thank you in advance for your collaboration.

I attached some printscreen as proof of what I am saying.


Best regards
Pierre

Pending Withdrawal and Very poor customer support

Overall the main issue revolves to late “processing” of withdrawal and no support at all from customer support. Customer support keeps sending the automated message that payment is in queue, or is being processed or shall be received shortly.

Withdrawal was requested over 42 hours ago. On the chat I’ve been told that it may take up to 24 hours and now that timeframe is already doubled and I am still without my funds.

I had another withdrawal which was rejected on Friday, due to a missing document. This was rejected (therefore it was checked) within an hour and 50 minutes. So clearly there’s a huge discrepancy between that time frame and 42 hours. I cannot accept that to reject it takes 2 hours but to effect a withdrawal it takes over 42 hours and counting.

I sent two emails too. I received the same reply on both, payment is in queue or being processed which is obviously a standardized automated message as I read it a million times since Saturday.

Following the email to add insult to injury, I was asked whether I was satisfied the customer support. I chose that I’m not, to my surprise system generates an error when trying to give negative feedback.

Leaves a lot to be desired for a casino stating that they have fast withdrawals. Also what I demand is at least a decent update and not the random generic email or message as not it’s become unacceptable. Till now, I had to commence 8 chats all leading nowhere.
