CircleBet - Got their terms wrong

Hi pokerpetje - thanks for getting in contact.

Before I can contact Circle Bet, I need you to provide the username and email address you use there so we can locate your account.

Thanks

Hi pokerpetje,

Just to keep you up-to-date, I'm experiencing some communication issues with Circle Bet. The email address of my contact who I was speaking to only a few weeks ago is now bouncing my emails back to me. As such I'm going to have to try and go through their standard support. Bear with me.

Thanks

Hi pokerpetje,

That's not what I'm saying - it's not that they're not responding to my emails, it's that they are not receiving them. There appears to be a problem with this particular staff member's email inbox that's making the mails undeliverable. If they don't receive the email obviously they won't respond ;)

I'll try them through their standard email addresses.

Thanks

ok i see :)

Hi pokerpetje,

I have to say that I'm now very concerned about Circle Bet. Despite repeated attempts to contact them on several email address and their sister site Point casino, I've had no response. In fact emails to all Point casino email address are failing.

I'm going to leave this complaint open until next Friday (the 28th) and if I've not had a response by then I'll be closing the complaint in favour of the player and moving both venues to Not Recommended status.

ok thanks a lot.

Hi pokerpetje, Unfortunately Circle Bet have chosen not to offer any form of response to this complaint and that leaves me unable to do anything further to help you. Frankly - based on the assumption that the dates and information you've given me are accurate - this is an example of absolutely disgraceful behavior on the part of Circle Bet. The facts and the time line are as follows; - Player contacted Circle Bet on the 22/01/2014 to ask questions regarding their sign-up bonus. At this time the maximum allowed bet for the sign-up bonus can be confirmed to have been €5/spin. - Player signed up and claimed the sign-up bonus on the 23/01/2014. We can confirm that it was on the 23/01/2014 that Circle Bet reduced the maximum allowed wager from €5 to €4.50/spin via our change detection service as shown below; Given the above we can confirm that the term was changed on the day that the player claimed the bonus, meaning that it's perfectly possible for the player to have reviewed the terms prior to the change and adhered to them. Alongside this the maximum allowed wager is still listed as €5/spin the Circle Bet general terms and conditions. Even if the player did only looked at the terms on the 22nd and failed to re-review them on the 23rd, given the very recent changes to the terms, the previous communication on the 22nd and the fractional change in the terms (a €0.5 reduction of the maximum wager) where the player had held to the original maximum that was in place on the 22nd, Circle Bet really do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to confiscation of this player's winnings. Alongside all of the above, I find it extremely concerning that we are getting bounce back emails (non-deliverable) messages from every email address we can find for Circle Bet's sister property Point casino, especially given that one of their affiliate managers was agressively pursing placement on ThePOGG at the start of February. All in all, this is a shameful example of poor behavior from a casino group that seem to have a very weak management structure in place and as such both venues have now been moved to Not Recommended status. pokerpetje - I'm sorry that I've not been able to offer more help with this.

Update to this case;

It appears that this has been more than a case of enforcement of dodgy rules. Having just checked, both the Circle Bet and Point casino sites are now offline. It looks like this casino group has shut up shop and done a runner with at least this player's money.
