The Virtual Casino - Acceso a la cuenta del jugador revocado después del depósito.

I won $100 USD off of a signup bonus, and in order to withdrawal I had to verify a valid BTC Wallet by making a $20 USD deposit. After I made the deposit and I went to withdrawal, my withdrawal was declined. When I messaged the support team, they immediately told me: "We regret to inform you that your casino access has been revoked. The decision is unfortunately irreversible"

I didn’t violate any ToS on the play-through or bonus, and I am guessing that is why they locked me out. So not counting my bonus money I won, they stole my deposit money. Worst online casino. ever.

Dear andiruda,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

Petronela,

Thanks for looking into this. So here is the details on my personal experience. I opened my account with thevirtualcasino.com and was gifted a signup free spin bonus. I read through the wagering requirements carefully (as I do this often) and made sure I didn’t violate any of the ToS for the site or the bonus. I got lucky a few times so that my balance ended up meeting the withdrawal requirements and there was no longer any bonus play through requirements. There was however a $100USD withdrawal limit, which was a part of the bonus agreement, and that was fine, as I had landed on $100USD anyways.

I next proceeded to withdrawal my funds and was informed I need to verify my account. I uploaded the requested documents and was notified shortly after that my identification was verified. I tried the withdrawal again and was notified that a final step of a verification deposit was to be made to validate the crypto wallet I was requesting where they would send my withdrawal funds. I transferred the minimum of $20USD worth of BTC and once the deposit cleared I was notified by the site saying I had deposited funds. I then tried my withdrawal a final time and was notified that the withdrawal had started. 1 hour later I hadn’t heard anything back about the withdrawal, so I check my activity in my account settings of the site, and it said the withdrawal transaction was declined/canceled. I messaged support via their online chat, and was promptly informed that for no reason whatsoever they decided to close out my account and keep my deposit.

I am attaching the screenshot I took of the final notice from the online chat.

Do you happen to know if anyone within your immediate vicinity or social circle has ever redeemed a free bonus from this particular casino before? I am asking because there have been instances where individuals within close proximity or with shared IP addresses have been flagged for bonus abuse or fraudulent activity, even if they were not directly involved. Therefore, it would be helpful to rule out any potential conflicts or complications that could arise from previous bonus redemptions by others in your vicinity. Looking forward to hearing from you.

That is a great question. And the answer is I don’t know. We just moved to this city a few months ago and have yet to "settle in" with a social circle. It is possible, but I honestly don’t know.

Thank you very much, andiruda, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Stefan (stefan.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Thanks very much

Hello andiruda,

I am so sorry to hear your account got blocked. I will contact the casino and try to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Now I would like to invite The Virtual Casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.

Dear The Virtual Casino,

Could you state why the player's account got blocked? Could you please provide us with the evidence?

Thank you in advance for providing the information.

We would like to ask the 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’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hello andiruda,

I have tried to contact the casino but had no success. I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to. 

I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. 

I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Stefan, Casino.Guru
