<div class="bbWrapper">After making numerous deposits at Maria Casino over a few days and making a withdrawal I received a random email saying my account was suspended (no information why) and after making several calls I have been informed that my account was suspended as i self excluded from the unibet site a while back (due to spending too much time on it and not wanting emails etc) and as mariacasino is owned by unibet I cannot play there? I had no idea they were owned by the same company<br />
<br />
Why was this not flagged at registration instead of a day later?<br />
<br />
My account was 'up' around £600 between deposits and withdrawals/my credit balance yet I am told I have to wait 5 working days for the 'responsible gaming' team to make a decision on what will happen with my account.<br />
<br />
I am worried they will simply reverse deposits (already taken off credit card) and dismiss profit. Anyone have any knowledge on this? I have messaged their rep/emailed to no response as of yet<br />

Maria Casino Suspended Account
- Thread starter Croboy78
- Start date
<div class="bbWrapper">If all goes well you will receive your deposits back. Not more, not less.<br />
<br />
Only in very rare cases have we seen a casino that paid the winnings.<br />
<br />
According to the regulation they have to re-set your account to the point as if you never placed a bet / made a spin. Hence, all winnings/losses voided.<br />
<br />
However, some casinos have been stretching the regulation in so far that they kept the deposits as well. I would think Maria Casino, being one of the reputable ones, to not resort to such measures.<br />
<br />
Since you are in the UK always inform yourself before depositing at a new casino as the new regulations will bite you on SE issues.</div>

Hi it does not matter what your personal reasons were for self excluded. It is treat the same no matter if it was for gambling issues or not. Meaning you cant play at other casinos linked to the same group or company. If your lucky you will get deposits back but not the winnings. This though is an ongoing issue for some operators ... and that's why if im joining a new site I always check the license at the UKGC site to see who if any the casino in question is associated with. <br />
<br />
I cant see them doing you out of your deposits but you can say Adios to the winnings im afraid <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/frown.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-shortname=":(" /></div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Moral of the story is don't self exclude(unless you plan to not gamble ever). No sympathy for opening poster, i wish they would bring in a rule that just bans all players from every casino who self exclude even once, what is the point of self excluding on one site, to then hop onto another.</div>

Moral of the story-keep it stum if you have nothing constructive to say! Maria Casino wasn't even in existence when I closed my Unibet account and furthermore I don't 'research' who the registered owners of a service are before using-do you?<br />
<br />
People self exclude for a multitude of reasons-namely because its easier than ringing to close an account and be offered bonuses to stay or even being told that you have to self exlude to close it down. Thanks</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">they will definitely refund your deposits and that's about it - but that's probably right, although it should have been picked up on registration.<br />
<br />
Be thankful it was not with an Everymatrix or a TGP Europe casino - as they close your a/c, keep all your deposits and any winnings - but only if you win. If you lose, they let you carry on losing.</div>

Maybe it's my english but you're wording get me a little bit worried as to me it feels that this is not the first time you are going through this. "I could always do a chargeback if any casino attempted to keep my deposits". I presume you mean "attempted to wrongly keep my deposits" or something like that. The reason I ask is that it has become more and more common that players try to abuse the Visa/MC regulations by depositing, playing, loosing and then do a chargeback stating that it wasn't them who deposited. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can rest assure that you in this case will get you're deposit back though.</div>

No, what I was saying is it would be fraudulent on their part if they kept my deposits when my account is in credit and I could then be covered by a chargeback. If you lost money at a casino and attempted a chargeback I dont think you would be entitled to do so and I would imagine the casino would take you to court or sue you somehow and get it that way.</div>

It would not be a case of CM 'canning' you for taking action, it would be a case of them doing so for taking inappropriate action.<br />
<br />
I'm sure I read in CM rules that charge backs, regardless of who is right/wrong are still a 'no no'<br />
<br />
The first step would be to contact the casino rep and explain in full your situation and then if no joy take things from there (in the case of a casino with no rep then e-mail to management or maybe even a PAB)<br />
<br />
Charge Backs will only cause you problems even if you were originally 100% not at fault <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

If what you are saying is true casinomeister would be aiding scammers! Of course it should be the last action taken, and it would not only be the last option but also have to be a considerable amount for me to ever consider it. If i bought a trip and it turned out that the booking company did not reserve a hotel or plain it would be legitimate to charge back, why not at a casino who dont deliver what you paid for?</div>

Whose to say they refund players who lose their deposit?<br />
<br />
The casino should make aware to the player at point of registration that they are owned by unibet, and you should have a tickbox to untick if you are self excluded at their sites, or atleast a warning.Any company who takes responsible gambling seriously should do so. Its not the players perogative to investigate who is owned by whom.<br />
<br />
Someone needs to experiment, do they refund players who self exclude and then refund their deposit</div>

Laws differ in different countries, this forum is international, you can chargeback i think if your PAB is ruled in your favour and the casino does not respond in a reasonable time frame/ the admins authorise you to do so, and its a legal chargeback.</div>

People self exclude for a multitude of reasons-namely because its easier than ringing to close an account and be offered bonuses to stay or even being told that you have to self exlude to close it down. Thanks

The person you are referring to has every right to voice their opinion about your issue. You made it public so expect to get some opinions that don't agree with yours.<br />
<br />
Personally, I don't see any reason to self exclude from a casino unless you are a problem gambler who lacks self control. If you have SE'd anywhere, you should not be playing elsewhere.<br />

Yeh, i've heard of some of the non uk casinos doing that. Thankfully I played using a credit card so although I got hit with cash charges I could always do a chargeback if any casino attempted to keep my deposits when my account is in credit. <br />
<br />
I expect they will simply reverse deposits but I wonder if this would be the case if I wasn't in credit

Chargebacks are used mainly for people who have had their CC's stolen or had unauthorized usage. If you chargeback knowing that you had used the card lawfully, then that is fraud. Do it and expect to be banned at most casinos - and this forum as well. We do not condone fraud of any sort.<br />

Laws differ in different countries, this forum is international, you can chargeback i think if your PAB is ruled in your favour and the casino does not respond in a reasonable time frame/ the admins authorise you to do so, and its a legal chargeback.

<img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/what.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":what:" title="Er... what? :what:" data-shortname=":what:" /> WTF?? Nope - that is not true. The only "legal" chargeback is if your credit card was used without your knowledge for something you did not purchase. The credit card company/bank will require you to sign documents that state this<br />

If what you are saying is true casinomeister would be aiding scammers! Of course it should be the last action taken, and it would not only be the last option but also have to be a considerable amount for me to ever consider it. If i bought a trip and it turned out that the booking company did not reserve a hotel or plain it would be legitimate to charge back, why not at a casino who dont deliver what you paid for?

Regardless of how you 'dress it up' I am not and never will condone charge backs, fraud or any general form of 'dodgyness'<br />
<br />
I was simply stating that there are much more appropriate ways of doing things, more than one way to 'Skin a Cat' if you like.<br />
<br />
If you brought said trip and there was a problem, the booking company would refund of offer a 'replacement' Give the casino/rep/licencee chance to put things right first maybe?<br />
<br />
Not defending casino 'X' in this instance either but jumping the gun and doing a charge back would go against players whether they felt they were justified or not, It simply makes 'bad reading'</div>
