Cashout Refused with Drivers License Expiry extended due to COVID by government


user_avatar badge
Por Gordon A.
hace 5 años
I have been a VIP member at PlayAmo for a couple of years. This past week I tried to cashout around $300 Canadian but was rejected by Playamo who said my approved identification had expired (in Canada every 5 years). Due to COVID all drivers licenses in Ontario Canada have been extended indefinitely (those that expire after March 2020) since all license bureaus have be temporarily closed and renewals with updated licenses have been suspended due to COVID. So according to the government my license is valid (and valid and approved at PlayAmo since I have been a member there), but PlayAmo refuses to pay my modest cashout. No information on my license has changed. Same address, same person in the picture, same vitals information. I forwarded the official government website link to the Playamo people which sates that all Ontario licenses with expiry dates after March 2020 have extended expiry dates, but got nowhere. The link is https:­//w­ww.o­nt­ari­o.c­a/p­age­/re­new­-dr­ive­rs-­lic­ence. Hopefully you can help resolve as there is nothing I can do at my end until the government is processing driver licenses again, which could be 6 months or greater. According to the government my drivers license ID has not expired with the COVID rules. Thank you.

Dear all,

Many thanks to AskGamblers for their quick mediation with my identification expiry (drivers license) issue at PlayAmo. Previous to this I had contacted both support and the VIP manager to explain the problem and provided links to official government rulings, but unfortunately was not successful in getting resolution, leading to my frustration. Following intervention by AskGamblers and as stated in the above PlayAmo response, the government website was reviewed and my identification reinstated along with an apology. I am now able to cashout. Again, thanks to AskGAmblers!

Dear @CAMINOGUY,

Thank you for your explanation.

Indeed, after checking local COVID websites, we found that your expired driving license is still valid:
We are extending the validity of government driver, vehicle and carrier products and services that expired on or after March 1, 2020. These will continue to remain valid and legal past the expiry until further notice. This is in an effort to help keep people safe, reduce the need for in-person visits to ServiceOntario, and stop the spread of COVID-19.

You may continue using your account with the already uploaded expired ID document, we will value it as a valid document.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Playamo.

One successful withdrawal and now cancelled on bigger amount

I am beyond frustrated I am an Australian player and I have gone above and beyond to prove my identity to playamo…. I won $3000 and withdrew that amount and then withdrew $900 via bank transfer they were both processed and all sent to their end (what they said) I successfully got the $900 into my bank and I waited another week or so for the $3000 then I randomly get an email saying I cancelled the withdrawal which I did not.

So then they said I needed to verify my id again and there is a security issue with the L on my identification which is my middle name that’s not printed on my bank card like that but my bank card says My name and I have had a successful withdrawal before with no issue….

Now they have asked me to open a cryptocurrency wallet to have my withdrawal put into instead & apparently once the withdrawal is complete via cryptocurrency my profile will then be deleted!!!?

I am so confused By all this I have done absolutely EVERYTHING to verify my identification and trying to now withdraw $2890 after they let me play through some.

I got that many identifications to prove it’s me & a successful withdrawal into bank and still security says there’s now an issue, not a big surprise they don’t want to give me the larger amount…. When I withdraw the smaller amount the day after and got that not a problem…

Now all these issues for no reason when I have got all my Identification even offered my birth certificate…

I am beyond disappointed and upset with all this.

Assistance required: Withdrawal is being cancelled
Hello.
I have only been playing with Online Casinos for a few months.
I tried to cashout at Playamo Casino and after waiting several days, I received an email tonight stating that my cashout has been cancelled! I now have none of that money in my Bank Account or in my Casino Account.
I originally tried to cashout $1502.50 on September 23rd but it was discarded by PlayAmo and the money stayed in my Casino Account. I decided to continue playing. I then tried to cashout $1650.40. On September 28th, after supplying all documentation requested, it was accepted. I received an email stating the money was being sent to my bank. I waited several days for the money to go into my bank account. I contacted the support team but was asked to patiently wait.
On Monday October 4th, whilst still waiting for the money to go into my Bank Account, I decided I would deposit more money into my PlayAmo Account so I could play the slots.
When I logged in, to my surprise, the $1650.40 that I was expecting to be in my Bank Account was put back into my Casino Account.
Even though I was annoyed that it was not deposited into my Bank Account, there was no need to deposit more money as I had a balance of $1,650.40.
After playing and losing about $800, I won a feature.
I then decided that I would cashout my balance of $3102.31.
It "discarded" my first two attempts and finally changed the status to pending.
Tonight, October 6th, I received an email stating my entire balance of $3102.31 has been cancelled.
I feel I have been scammed.
I am concerned that the original withdrawal was deliberately put back into my Casino Account with hopes I would gamble it all away.
I had no intentions of gambling it all.
I won and decided to cashout.
I no longer apply for bonus' when I make deposits as it limits the choice of slots. Therefore the money I play with is purely mine.
Whatever the reason was for the $1650.40 going back into my PlayAmo Account, it was my money to gamble with - win or lose.
Now that I want to withdraw my winnings, they won't pay.
This is my money and I'm very distraught about it.
Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
If you need copies of emails or anything else, please contact me.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Leonie

Casino took 10 days and 4 requests to apply my requested self exclusion

On April 13/21 I sent an email to Playamo Customer Support requesting that they close my account permanently as I was choosing to Self-Exclude myself from their website indefinitely.


According to their website, when you set a Self-Exclusion Limit your Player Account will immediately be disabled and you will be excluded from all promotional offers for the set period. You will not be able to deposit or withdraw funds when the limit is active.

Under the terms and conditions it says that setting Self-exclusion lets us know that we need to take all measures to block your access to your account and make sure that you receive no promotional materials. You may also contact our support team at [email protected] and inform us about your decision to stop gambling at the Website for a certain period of time or forever. Self-exclusion means that you will be barred from play at all online casinos under the participating licence.


However this is not what happened to me. Instead of closing my account, Playamo Customer Support sent me back an email saying they were passing my message onto the dedicated team who would contact me.


On Apr 14/21, I received an email from Dana, my Playamo VIP Manager stating she received a message from player support, asking what can I do to help?


I replied to her on Apr 14/21, by forwarding my initial request to Player Support in regards to closing the account and self-excluding indefinitely to her email.


On Apr 16/21, Dana contacted me again to state that she had not heard back from me and she proceeded to offer me promotions and loyalty credits to continue playing on Playamo.com.


I emailed her back Apr 16/21 telling her everything I disliked about gambling on their site. Since I had already asked twice to be self excluded, I figured maybe telling her all my dislikes would get the job done. I was wrong. She just emailed me back on Apr 16/21 trying to convince me to play and even provided a cash bonus to my account to get me back playing.


I sent another email back a couple hours later on Apr 16/21 asking her to do as I requested and close my account and to honour my wishes to self-exclude from their site indefinitely.


I received the next email from Dana on Apr 19/21 stating that she respected my decision but asking me to ‘think one more time’. Then she went on to say what a smart player I am, how I am going to win big and offering me more no deposit cash bonuses, and bonus unofficial weekly cashback. Preying on all my weaknesses as a gambler. I finally said fine I would think about it to put the bonuses in my account.


Then Apr 22/21 I emailed Dana again. Only this time it was to request a refund for the $875 that I had been allowed to deposit into my account since making my first request to be self-excluded on Apr 13/21.


I told her that if my request for self-exclusion had been applied to my account as their policy states it should have immediately been, I would never have been able to deposit and lose another $875.


I received a message back from Dana Apr 22/21 stating she was sorry for my gambling problems, my account was now closed and she would pass my request for a refund on to administration. I would hear from them within 24hrs.


I received an email on Apr 23/21 stating that my account was closed and there would be no refund as it was closed as soon as I said I had a gambling addiction and they said nothing could be done as I did not contact them earlier.


I emailed back and forth with Player Support a few times stating I made earlier attempts and requests to have my account self-excluded... But for some reason they don’t seem to consider those as reason enough to immediately close the account even though that is exactly what their policy states.


I am not sure where to go from here. I can not provide a screen shot of the deposits to my Playamo account (but the casino should be able to provide that) as my account was closed while I was trying to do that.


I have included screen shots of the emails to verify what I am stating. I just want them to reimburse the $875 I was able to spend after they did not immediately disable my account after requesting self-exclusion.
