Slotwolf Casino | Closed | Malta (MGA) | Non-payment | Issue summary: Player claimed non-payment from the casino after their dispute had been settled at another ADR. Conclusion: We asked if it would be okay to contact the other ADR and were given permission to do so. Turned out the player hadn’t been satisfied with the other ADR and had ended things with a foul-mouthed rant. Key point being that the other ADR had not settled the case as the player had claimed. When we brought this to the player’s attention we got the same abusive treatment whereupon the player was kicked to the curb and the case was closed. |
