I was doing very good with Rolla Casino and managed to make a nice withdrawal. And I have an issue when I win money I tend to gamble nearly all of it because I get a gambler's buzz. In that moment I literally have no concept of money. So instead of closing my account because I do like to play, I decided to put a deposit limit of £50. I have had this limit on my account for over a week.

Well lastnight I completely forgot about that deposit limit and I kept depositing 200's here and there. I was chasing a loss and reached 7000 in deposits. I know my own responsibility. But I discovered I had put in place a deposit limit for £50 every month! On the same account. I have many MT Secure Account related casinos with various deposit limits. So I sometimes forget what the limit is and wait till I hit it.

So I contacted Rolla Casino. They responded by closing my account down and then 'investigating' But I guess with it being the holidays I still haven't received a reply or what the hell is going on with my account. This is a very shady practice to me if deposit limits do not work. The loss doesn't hurt (it was only a part of a nice win) as much as now I do not trust responsible gambling gaming limits. If they don't work as intended then essentially gamblers like me who rely on these limits to keep it under control are in danger losing a lot of money even if it is their choice. The deposit limits are there for a reason and in this case they didn't work as intended. I'm in the UK so I'm not sure about the laws but its really put a damper on my casino experience.

Right - IF you had a valid £50 monthly limit, assuming there was no fault and it was in place there's only one explanation for this;
the bogus 'deposit limit' actually masquerading as a 'loss limit'. The scam works thus:

1. You set a £50 limit per month.
2. You deposit 50 and win £5,000
3. You withdraw £5000
4. You now discover that you can keep on depositing from that point onwards until you are £5,050 down overall.
5. Complain afterwards and casino shuts account on the dubious grounds you could be a 'problem gambler' and hides behind that, whilst ignoring the fact they never enforced the £50 limit you thought you had set, being a responsible gambler.

Please confirm if you believe this example to be the case in your issue.
 
Thanks for you reply. Not the case unfortunately. Which is why it's been forwarded to the manager but they have yet to reply. The CS agreed its not right. It's was a deposit limit rather than a loss limit. I can't upload pictures so I've sent this as a link

Information makes it specific to deposit only:
You can control your play with 4 different types of limits:
• Deposit limits enable you to set a limit on the amount of money you deposit into your account for a given period;
• Net loss limits allow you to control the maximum amount of money you can lose over the selected period;
• Wagering limits allow you to limit the amount you can wager for the period selected;
• Session limits will limit the amount of time you can stay logged into your account.

surely that should be illegal, no?

deposit limit should do what it says, limit your deposits regardless of your wins or losses. Im sure ukgc would love to hear about it too.

I really think its about time someone puts limits on casinos ability to create their own grey areas. Hell that should be one of the rules too.

Yeah it also has a lower limit section separate from deposit so I really don't understand. I get very impulsive when I get a win. So I always limit for a couple of weeks to ensure I'm in the right frame of mind. Unfortunately the limit was in place and it didn't do it's job. And as the CS said it should have been fail-safe.

Rolla being a MT Securetrade Casino. Do they have a rep on here?

Some of the larger casinos used to do that didn't they? Was it VS or Casumo who were doing it that way a while back? Cant remember tbh but I agree, a deposit limit should be a deposit limit, not a loss limit.

MrGreen used to do it, not sure if they still do but thats what casinomeister helped me with when I did a PAB a few years back

Especially when there is an entire section for 'loss limit' and a separate one for deposit limit and I used deposit limit rather than the loss limit.

Just to add. Rolla have confirmed that to be the case too that deposit limits aren't tied to win/loss:

Essentially wouldn't that make my deposits invalid? As if the deposit limit worked I would not have gambled that amount so impulsively (again yes I do blame myself as well.) But being with casinos my whole life. I have had to abide by such laws which favour the casino which have made bets invalid. So aren't casinos supposed to do the same?

And just want to say thanks. Glad there is a place like this on the web.

You would think so but I have seen numerous accredited casinos do this in the past, including Redbet, Whitebet, Heypoker, Superlenny etc. In effect it makes your DL useless as it works as a loss-limit and without asking you they add any net profits to your DL thus increasing it despite your settings.
The OP states that this hasn't happened here, but given that the platform MAY be applying this mechanism and not being aware of it, I wouldn't be surprised if it had.

It certainly would be strange as I look deeper and from my emails of confirmations and such into it the first week (12/12) I had exceeded my deposit limit and hit it when I deposited £50. So in effect I shouldn't have been able to deposit at all again till the month end. As it was displaying the "Sorry you've exceeded your DL" correctly the week previous.

As its a MT Securetrade casino. I look on the other ones I have done very well with where I have hit 5-10k in winnings and have a huge net profit, the DL works just fine. I also had the customer service stress to me that it shouldn't have happened and that it was pretty 'fail-safe'. So I truly wonder what's going on. Still waiting on a reply from 'management' they must be having a nice long vacation haha! However, if there's no resolution and there's a generic cop out would it be wise to send this to my barrister to chase up on principle?

Your first port of call could be a PAB via CM or using ECOGRA. If things do eventually go down a legal route it usually goes in your favour if you have exhausted the prior processes first. I doubt it would come to that, as you should get some response on here.

Thanks for your reply. Is a PAB possible with them not being accredited here? I'll give them another few days but it seems that management are 'aware' according to CS so hopefully they come up with a resolution to it.
 
Hi cathsparkes,

We are sorry to hear about your recent unpleasant experience at Rolla Casino. Likewise, apologies for the delay in response here. This has only recently been brought to our attention, so we just wanted to investigate what exactly happened before replying.

Firstly, we would just like to say that we take our UKGC requirements very seriously and ensuring that we have the correct tools to facilitate your game-play in a responsible manner, is of the utmost importance to us.

When we heard about this case, we were extremely surprised, as we complete rigorous testing to ensure that all our platform features are working as they should be, especially one such as important as a deposit limit. However, after further investigation, it appears that there was a recent roll out in preparation for Swedish regulation on 31st Dec, that may have caused a technical error in this instance. This issue has now been resolved as a matter of priority and all deposit limits should be fully working as intended.

This is by no means acceptable, and please rest assured that we will be completing a full internal review to ensure that this does not happen again in the future. Likewise, we will also arrange for any funds lost over your deposit limit, to be sent back to you immediately.

We hope that this is satisfactory, and should you require any further assistance or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks, and all the best for 2019!

Hey, as an official rep I take it you've contacted Bryan to get your status registered as such? You'll get a nice pink title and be listed in the reps' hall of fame!

P.S. you've done the right thing here; deposit limits are sacrosanct and should be exactly that. FTR, is this an unusual error or has the DL somehow got facilitated as a LL?

Thanks dunover. I like your youtube videos. I contacted Jelena to get approval before posting, but I guess she was busy and in this instance I felt like we had to respond here regardless. Yes, this is definitely an unusual error, as you mention there really is no room for error when it comes to things like deposit limits. Thanks.

Yes, no problem - I doubt very much you are an impostor! Don't worry, when your status gets rubber-stamped all your previous posts will reflect the official rep status. Welcome aboard, the more official reps the better - it helps solve issues without PABs and enriches the community. Then further down the line you may choose to try for accreditation.:thumbsup:

Well just want to say thank you for your response. I'm glad deposit limits will now be working as intended. I really like MT Trade Secure Casinos and only place these deposit limits temporarily to ensure I'm in the right mind when I play. Of course when on a buzz is why I felt it was necessary to put a deposit limit. I'm glad you have dealt with the issue professionally which is more than I can say for other casinos I've dealt with in the past. Will I receive an email regarding the information above to confirm deposits being returned and if my account will be re-opened?

Many Thanks

Just a note here that I think may be appropriate - reading your OP and your actions therein, it's possible the casino may have flagged a RG issue with you. If they have, they are within their rights to keep your account closed after the refund of the excess deposits they've promised. Not saying it will happen, but it might.
 
Thanks for the really warm welcome @dunover and @Casinomeister and also for adding the casino review page, appreciated.

You are more than welcome @cathsparkes and once again please accept our sincere apologies for this unfortunate situation. I have spoken to our Payments Team and they are in the process of returning the refund to you, once the funds have been sent, your account will be re-opened. Hope this helps. Cheers.
 
Just a small update on this:

Still waiting on the amount to be returned. Whilst Casino rep has initially been responsive I still keep getting the run around in regards to it by Customer Service who I was told to email to get it sorted. Bearing in mind I had previously been verified I was told by the casino rep that they were having trouble paying to my card and needed a bank statement of to which I would want the funds sent to. I did this Friday morning and happily sent them the details. Well I've requested several updates but they've turned around and said, "No updates" And I keep getting the runaround with Customer service. Now they said they want a bank statement from my precision pay card that I used to deposit. Which I'm sure I had already sent to get verified. But second times the charm I guess. I did PM Casino Rep before but no response regarding this. Very frustrating indeed.
 
Just want to say thanks to Phil the rep for Rolla Casino. Answered every question professionally and dealt with the matter swiftly in the end. Personally handled this for me. I must say what a professional and honest response from a Casino. I received a return amount from the error promptly after they complied and reported the technical issue to UKGC. Which was the reason for the wait in the end. Again highly recommend this casino. There isn't many honest casinos about but MT Secure Trade Casinos have always been a pleasure to bet at.

Cheers
