Hey, I signed up here a while ago and forgot about it. I am on holiday at the moment and my son just suggested here might be able to help me!
I signed up to 888 casino (who can argue with Shane Warne?
) and lost some money just before xmas, then after that I kept on getting emails/popups to sign up at other casinos with the promise of bonuses for my first deposit!
The first one was SpinWin, I played the games I was allowed to play, finished their 'rollover' and I won about £1000 I think, so I thought that was great obviously, just before xmas too!
Whilst waiting for my winnings to be paid to me, another offer came up for Eurocity, after being massively up I got brave and started to bet big, and managed to get my balance up to around just under €2k!! I had to finish their 'rollover' thing again, but when I went to sign in the next day my account was blocked!
After loads of emails/calls and advice from my friend who works for a lawyers, (who said they have no right to take my winnings if I followed their rules) I was told that as I have signed up to casinos in the same group, they will not be paying me any of my winnings! Even though they bombarded me with emails/popups telling me to sign up!
Surely this is bordering on criminal? They quoted me this term;
In the event that the Company believes a user of the Service is abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a gambling policy adopted by the Company, then the Company may, at its sole discretion, deny, withhold or withdraw from any user any bonus or promotion, or rescind any policy with respect to that user, either temporarily or permanently, or terminate that user's access to the Services and/or block that user's account.
So that was my Christmas ruined. I stupidly lost money at another site not even considering I wouldn't be paid.
Has anyone sued this company before? In British law you cannot enforce ambiguous terms like this that are unfair.
Shane has let me down big time.
