22bet Casino - La cuenta del jugador ha sido bloqueada.

Goodnight,

I write here because I'm desperate and because it's the only site I've seen trusted to write a complaint about this company.

After a rejected withdrawal request due to the need to send documents, I proceeded to send all the requested documentation. Photos of my Citizen Card, screenshots of my Neteller account, selfie holding the CC and seeing the mail sent by the security department, and finally they asked about my relationship with some people. I only knew one, which was my cousin.

I was informed by email, which I send as an attachment, that my account had been closed for breach of the terms and conditions. Furthermore, at the end of that same email, I was told that I could withdraw the value of the deposits made (as you can see in the screenshot of the email I am sending in the attachment: "You can withdraw the deposited sum only.").

I deposited €1,000, so according to what they tell me, I can withdraw those €1,000. I don't want profits, I just want to withdraw my deposited money and what the department said I could do.

I asked the support chat, they told me that I had to send an email asking for the account to be unlocked to proceed with the withdrawal, as I can't log into the account (I'm sending this conversation as an attachment).

However, after emails have already been sent and continuous requests for help, they won't let me log into my account and withdraw MY money, the money I deposited.

Take me with the profits, I understand. Taking my money is pure theft.

I appreciate all the help that can be done. I am sincerely desperate.

Thanks,

Rafael N****.

Boa noite,

Escrevo aqui por estar desesperado e por ser o único site que vi ser confiável para escrever uma reclamação em relação a esta empresa.

Após pedido rejeitado de levantamento devido a ser necessário enviar documentos, procedi a enviar toda a documentação pedida. Fotos do meu Cartão de Cidadão, screenshots da minha conta Neteller, selfie a segurar o CC e a ver-se o mail enviado pelo departamento de segurança, e por fim perguntaram pela relação com algumas pessoas. Apenas conhecia uma, que se travava do meu primo.

Foi-me indicado por mail, que envio em anexo, que a minha conta tinha sido encerrada por violação dos termos e condições. Mais ainda, no final desse mesmo email, foi-me indicado que podia levantar o valor dos depósitos realizados (como pode ver no screenshot do mail que envio em anexo: "You can withdraw the deposited sum only.").

Eu depositei 1000€, portanto segundo o que me dizem, posso levantar esses mil euros. Não pretendo lucros, quero apenas levantar o meu dinheiro depositado e que o departamento disse que eu podia fazer.

Perguntei ao chat de apoio, disseram-me que tinha de enviar um email a pedir o desbloqueio da conta para proceder ao levantamento, visto que eu não consigo entrar na conta (envio em anexo essa conversa).

No entanto, após mails já enviados e contínuos pedidos de ajuda, não me deixam entrar na minha conta e levantar o MEU dinheiro, o dinheiro que eu depositei.

Ficarem-me com os lucros, entendo. Ficarem-me com o meu dinheiro, é puro roubo.

Agradeço toda a ajuda que for possível ser feita. Estou sinceramente desesperado.

Obrigado,

Rafael N****.

Dear Rafael, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the casino’s T&Cs and I found the term the casino is referring to:

"37. Upon completion of the investigation, the company can make any decision that it deems to be fair and reasonable:

to block (close) the account (including any duplicate accounts), which may entail:

all bonuses, free bets and winnings received from those bonuses and free bets when using this duplicate account becoming void and lost to you

at our sole discretion, to cancel all winnings and refund the balance of your account at the start of the investigation (minus any canceled winnings) made from your main and duplicate accounts. We also have the right to refund any amounts that are owed to us in connection with this duplicate account, directly from any of your accounts (including any other duplicate account).

At our sole discretion (in exceptional cases), to allow the continued use of the main account and recognize it as valid, while all bets placed by you from the duplicate account will be void, the duplicate account(s) will be blocked and/or canceled by decision of the company (the decision is made for each particular case individually, according to the extent of the violation)."

Is there any chance, that someone from your household or using the same IP address has also created an account at this casino? Additionally, if there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino other than in the attached screenshot, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru (or you can post it here).

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, 

Kristina

Hello Kristina,

I can write in English so you don't have to translate.

My cousin has an account on this casino, and sometimes we're together, probably it was because of that. But I'm not contesting that, I only want what is mine. If they want to have my winnings, I respect that, I only want the sum I had deposited. My 1000€.

That's what they said on the final closing account email: "You can withdraw the deposited sum only." I know a lot of this cases, and the casino always, always, let people withdraw the deposit sum they made. Also checked on previous complaints and that's always the result, they let the client withdraw the deposit.

I'm sending their final email again so you can check I'm not lying, those were their words! At the communication I had on the website, that I sent on my previous comment, the support told me to email the security department asking to withdraw that sum, because they had told me that I could do it. The deposit I made is my money, not theirs. It's a clear theft!

On the Terms you have sent, it also says "to cancel all winnings and refund the balance of your account at the start of the investigation (minus any canceled winnings)". This investigation started when I tried to withdraw my 1169,78€ balance, so the balance of my account minus any canceled winnings is my 1000€ that I had deposited!

Please, help me.

Yours sincerely,

Rafael.

Hello Rafael,

I looked at your complaint and will do my best to help you. I would like to invite 22bet Casino into this conversation. Casino, can you please specify why did you block the player’s account?

We would like to ask the 22bet Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’.

I apologize, but since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we can not continue resolving this complaint and we are forced to close it as ‘unresolved’. You can contact Curacao gaming license. If you need my help with contacting them just send me an email here: viliam.v@casino.guru

I am very sorry I couldn't help more, but at least closing this complaint as unresolved will negatively influence the Casino's rating and other players can read about your experience in our review.
