Power Bet has been holding my money forever and ignoring emails.

**leenperkins** · 12th December 2006, 01:00 AM

I tried cashing out from Power Bet in the early part of November. I got no emails or anything from them and a week later my cashout had been reversed. I emailed them several times getting no response and finally called or talked to chat support and was told to send in a faxback form. I did so in around the 15th of November, and requested a cashout again. It was reversed again with no explanation and again my emails were ignored. Finally, they asked me to send in my documents again so I did and cashed out again. Four days later, my cashout had been reversed yet again. I sent in my documents AGAIN and waited, three days later, reversed again. I private messaged Oliver Curran and asked him to look into the situation, explaining that chat support was a pretty long hold and they were ignoring emails and asking him what was up with my cashout.

HE DOESNT EVEN LOOK INTO IT. He just private messages me and tells me to call them, obviously can't be bothered to help me out. In the meantime, my cashout gets reversed again, I send another PM to Oliver on Thursday which I haven't heard back from.

I have an email from Powerbet stating they received my documents on November 28th and need two days to approve them (yes, I sent them much earlier than that). I have chat transcripts from two different reps saying that they got my documents a long time ago and they have no idea why I haven't been paid. Today I was told yet again to wait on the accounting department.

This is the same department that can't be bothered to pull its head from its rear and approve the documents I've sent in at least four times.

DO NOT play here. They seem intent on keeping all your money no matter the outcome of your gambling.

Hi leeperkins

The fact is that we have contacted you a number of times via emila because the information on the drivers license and utility bill do not match.

Furthermore, there are multiple accounts from the same IP address. Both the accounts have mismatching details and both are currently trying to withdraw funds. Both also have identical playing patterns. Coincidence? I think not.

Therefore the accounts manager has determined that this is indeed multiple account fraud being conducted from the same IP address. As a result your account has now been locked.

Best regards
Oliver Curran

The above is an absolute lie.

I use an internet aircard on my laptop right now since I'm travelling. No one else has had my laptop so I have no clue how someone could have "the same ip".

You have responded to exactly two of the emails I've sent.

I'll be happy to post a screenshot of my outbox with the infinite messages I've sent you and the few replies I've gotten, none of which have addressed my questions, and only ask for the faxback form repeatedly. I also don't understand what you mean by "playing patterns". I've played Blackjack and nothing else that I can recall. How can I play like someone else?

Snarky lines about coincidences? No response to emails, none payment on my accounts, and all of a sudden when I make a complaint here after being ignored through private messages and email and chat support all of a sudden I'm a "fraudulent player" which conveniently lets you deny paying me the $4,000 you owe me? You are flat-out lying about multiple ips and other players: admit it.

Now THAT seems like a coincidence to me.

Who else do I complain to?

Do you steal from ALL your players?

I live in different states: Virginia, Washington, California, and visit for short stretches in Texas. I sent in a bill from the address I registered with your casino. Not that that even was mentioned to me until today, and AFTER I posted this thread you decided to rush into locking my account.

Who else do I complain to?

The only fraud is the theft of my money and the incompetence of your customer service staff.

Yeah, my post in the forum has ridiculous complaints as well - they love to claim that two people are the same person without any proof.

Meister, will you look into this? RTG disputes hasn't done anything for me.

**rachelrae** · 12th December 2006, 09:52 AM

BTW, Meister:

This form still directs to Montana Overseas. Hardly a new mediator.

EDIT: I filed another dispute with them, not that it will do any good. The confirmation emails still come from @montanaoverseas.com, and when you attempt to email that address, it bounces. Awesome.

God damn crystal palace group has been doing this for years. I truly believe you can be a brand new player at the entire group and your account will be locked for a variety of reasons. I think I stopped playing there when fiverosescasino.com changed over to americangrand.com. Been awhile since I've ventured back to crystalcurranland. Even when Montana was operating at its peak, it took awhile to get that DHL Panama check in the mail from this shady bunch.

It looks like the disputes are on RTG's servers. (I've just filled one out myself). The "Montana" reference is due I guess to sloppy webmastering. But who knows - RTG has not been very communicative over the past couple of weeks.

Due to this lack of communication - except for the RTG casinos listed here at Casinomeister,
http://www.casinomeister.com/casinos.php#rtg
I would recommend avoiding all RTG casinos until they have this "new" dispute center set up that responds to player complaints.

This was posted over two weeks ago:
WARNING: Players be advised that you are relying on the discernment, empathy and responsiveness of the (RTG) casino operator to consider your dispute. I will assist as time permits.

Even though the entire online gaming community is aware that Montana disputes no longer exists - it has even been reported by RTG themselves. The Crystal Palace Group seems to think that Montana Disputes are still in operation. Go figure. I guess no one sent them the memo.
