After having won $9128 on 6/3, and cashing in, I inquired to having the money deposited into my checking account. I immediately provided the necessary information in order to have the transfer done as quickly as possible considering the amount of winnings. I also email the casino help desk to find out how long the money would stand in a pending account. I was told through email that the money would only remain available for twenty four hours (see email below). At this point, the money was set for direct deposit. I additionally phoned the casino to assure the safety of my winnings. At that point, I was told I had a bonus set to the account since it was a new activation. The bonus was an insignificant amount which I gambled in one hand. The problem occurred on 6/5 when I checked my email. My email was filled with transaction details from the Vegas Joker Casino regarding purchases made to my credit card accounts. Moreover, I discovered that additional credit cards had been added. I immediately phoned the casino and was told that my $9128 had been cash in and spent, and prior to that an additional $2800 and been billed to my credit cards. One of the cards was not in my name, so I questioned there security procedures since it clearly states on their web page that no other credit cards can be used other than those by the signatory.
Essentially, I was told I was the one that gambled t he money and now I was trying to get it back. I was told that I would not be receiving the $9128 even though it remained in the pending cash in for longer than the period of time I was told was policy. More importantly, I was told I was responsible for all charges even though I did not authorize any additional charges after my cash in of the $9128. All attempts to talk to management fell on def ears. I was continually told I was the one that lost the money. I continued to tell the casino of attempted hack attempts on my computer, and further stated that I would forward emails of attacks that have been logged on my computer. These emails were sent to the company that host the IP address of the attempted hacks.
Finally, my major complaint was the fact that my cash in was not processed in the time stated to me. I affirmed that the money would not have been able to be cash in if it were processed according to their own policy. In short, I was told that I was out of luck since I was the one that allegedly gambled the money and even though the cash in was past the processing time, I was out of luck. I was further told that I would be responsible for all charges made to my credit cards. I once again stated that I had not played at the casino since 6/3. I had them address my playing statements to show them when the cash in was made. Once again, they simply blamed me and told me I would not be receiving any help or assistance from them. Ultimately, I was out of luck and money totaling close to $13,000. If there is any way anyone can help me in the matter, I would greatly appreciate it. If any additional information is needed, please contact me at jcappuccilli@comcast.net.
Enclosure: This is the email I received from the help desk. You can see it clearly states that the money would not be available after twenty four hours. All of this was told to me after I cashed in my winnings and submitted my banking information for transfer.
