I agree. No point if they don't accept the PAB outcome unless it goes their way .
I'm told the case is now with the MGA and Erik says they'll respect the ruling there.
2.13. With regards to deposits and withdrawals of funds into and from your Account, you acknowledge that you shall only use such credit cards and other financial instruments that are valid and issued by lawful institutions and that legally belong to you solely. The use of financial instruments whose ownership is shared with other individuals, is not tolerated and will result in voiding of winnings.

For the sake of 5000 euros I would say it wasn't worth tarnishing their reputaion on the two largest gambling consumer sites, particulalry in what isnt an especially tenuous case.
This is down right theft and disgusting. Business should not be able to operate like this. I hope someone takes them down and that be only justice and karma they deserve(aswell as him being paid).
For reference sake. This comes from the dutch goverment. Our tax department, and trust me they don’t fool around!

In a sole proprietorship you only drive the company. This is the case if you are self-employed (for example a notary or general practitioner) or if you are the sole owner of your company. ... The sole proprietorship is not a legal entity. If you have a sole proprietorship, you are therefore liable for the debts of your company.
——
Meaning the company is no legal entity only i am. The casino’s reasoning that a company is a legal person is plain wrong.
I think they are playing with semantics, they say the card belongs to the company and then stop there, omitting the fact the company belongs exclusively to you therefore the card belongs exclusively to you.
Yes and i could understand that they would believe that but with a sole propatory that is not the case for it is not a legal entity. In layman terms it does not exist. I have the feeling there legal department mixed something up and is to stubborn to admit it. It could well be an employee being stubborn and not admitting that he or she made a mistake.
Another reference comes from my legal advisor. I had to drop it in Google translate.

The sole proprietorship has no legal personality: this means that for the owner of the company, no distinction is legally made between corporate assets and private assets (from a tax perspective there is a distinction).

Now i’m no lawyer but in court i think they will 100% lose.
Use of a debit card for a joint bank account would be caught by this term, which is most likely what it is designed to be a measure against.
Presumably. And if you as a depositer could provide a letter of consent from the different owner in those cases legally they would need to accept it i think.
I think its more of a deterrent clause, problem gamblers would definitely use a joint bank card but for the casino the money is jointly owned so they can't accept the bets made, if the gambler won the other person who shared ownership of the account would be overjoyed but if they lost a large amount of dough they would want the casino to void the bets because the deposit money wasn't soley owned.
If you had lost your bets and then tried to get the money back claiming it was the company's and not yours I know what the reply would be.
I just received a reply from the MGA.

Dear Mr. Groenewegen,
Further to the below case, please be informed that we have received information from the representative of SuprPlay Limited (You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.) who have informed the MGA that they have refunded all your deposits as per their Terms and Conditions stated below (You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.):
2.13. With regards to deposits and withdrawals of funds into and from your Account, you acknowledge that you shall only use such credit cards and other financial instruments that are valid and issued by lawful institutions and that legally belong to you solely. The use of financial instruments whose ownership is shared with other individuals, is not tolerated and will result in voiding of winnings.
4.7. You acknowledge that you shall only use debit or credit cards and other financial instruments that are valid and lawfully belong to you solely. The use of financial instruments whose ownership is shared with other individuals, is not tolerated and will result in voiding of winnings.
Please note that as for compliance reasons a company irrespective of whether it is wholly owned or not it is still a separate person from the individual who own it or manage it. Kindly note that it is irrelevant as legally the company is a distinct person having separate juridical personality.
We therefore trust that the case is closed.

In short they judge in favor of the casino because the casino misinforms them.
I really can’t believe how hard it is to look up laws and check them. Offcourse i replied providing information but it seems only court can make the final decision and that the provider is hoping for me to water off.

.I'm afraid you've received the typical biased ombudsman verdict, they never give any detailed reasoning on purpose to give you less to challenge their ruling. [which also would cost a lot and can only be done via a court]
If it were me I would write back a scathing letter to the individual who wrote to you, just so its on the record, and then move on with life.
I have experienced very bad bias from the Local government ombudsman and legal ombudsman here in the UK, corrupt b'stards... there it still rankles me.
Yes i already replied to the MGA representitive. Mayby hè will act on it mayby not.
For voodoodreams this is exactly what they want. They know that 99% of the people wont follow up and take it to court. I’ll wait a few for the MGA representitive to respond before i start the court case.
My patience is running out.
Typical MGA complaint handling. I had a very similar experience with them, I even had to write this to them:
"It is no use to have a complaint handling at MGA if you don't go into details and accept everything what a casino says."
Don't expect any further answer from them after their verdict:
"Malta Gaming Authority will not be in a position to provide you with further support concerning this matter and will not enter into further dispute about this case."
They don't bite the hand that feeds them.

I hope we can add to this list: Voodoodreams brought to court and sentenced to pay winnings
so my understanding is he's opened an account in his personal name and when he made a deposit he used 'his' sole trader business card which is only used and owned by himself. His business and personal account are directly linked so he can at any time transfer funds between them but due to the urge to have a quick deposit he used the business card [perhaps at that time he had more of 'his' money to use available on that card] he didn't forsee this to be a problem as he was still using 'his' money no one elses. Where is the harm to the casino in the chain of events that they must void his winnings?
No harm whatsoever.
VoodooDreams' legal team seems to insist that in their view a "sole proprietorship" is a legal entity, which it is not. The person owning the S.P. is the legal entity in any disputes.
I have just wrote another email to the MGA with some simple facts. I'm hoping they will fact check as a neutral party. If not then it is clear that the MGA is in the casino's pockets. From a business perspective this is a monumental failure on behalf of SuprPlay Limited. They are wrong in every aspect in this dispute.
I will take this to court if the MGA fails but i will take my time to prepare as much as possible and make sure all EU legal entities(European Consumer Centre etc.) will have this on record. Forcing a person to go to court in such a trivial matter is highly unprofessional and incompetent.

Dear ****,
I would like to point you out to:
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.'section liability'.
The provider is therefore incorrectly assigning corporation status to my sole proprietorship in order to void winnings. There T&C is perfectly reasonable and needed but in this specific case it is incorrectly enforced. Therefore i am in believe that they did/do not comply to the remote gaming regulations when it comes down to providing appropriate services. The provider has failed there KYC and legal duty. And i would like to point out toYou do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
I'm reaching out to the MGA in the hope that the MGA will act as neutral party and fact check said case.
Best regards,
Nick Groenewegen.

What do you mean with MEP?
I might be inclined to hire a Maltese law firm to handle the case as it will probably be handled by the matese First Hall of the Civil Court.
Thank god i’m insured for these matters.![]()
to find an honest lawyer
um... what??
So your first statement is yes, you're right, you and the company are one in the same.
Then the second statement says.. but your credit card is in a different name?
If both names are the same person.... how are the TOS violated??
This statement alone should be all the evidence you need to support a court case....
Wow..
Upon further investigation, I find that the law system in Malta is a unique mixture of Roman civil law, common law, and with aspects of English law also absorbed:

Perhaps it would be just as well to find an honest lawyer to help you out, as long as your insurance will cover it.
