I was offered a promotion for a deposit. Made a sucessful deposit never got what I paid for and here is the responce from live chat below.

Agent [EDIT] has joined the chat.

How are we gonna resolve this

01:06

Hi! My name is [EDIT] and I will be looking after you.

01:06

I need to know how my vip points are frozen

01:06

I have explained it to you. You did not meet the systems criteria and the points will be unfrozen when you play your own funds for a little bit.

01:07

What is the criteria ???????

01:08

That is determined by the system.

01:08

Well your system is bugged I need ansupervisor or a phone number for one

01:09

I know how servers work and people can control it and also change mistakes

01:10

We are a email and chat service only Jocelyn.

01:10

What is the full adress of yoir company

01:10

Your*

01:11

Thank you for chatting.

Hi! My name is [EDIT] and I will be looking after you.

.

01:12

I'm not sure what the issue is here I got a promotion for signing up here deposited the 1$ and never recieved what I paid for

01:13

01:13

Yes

01:13

I have checked your account and I can see that a temporary time-out has been implemented. This break affects your entitlement to redeem welcome offers in newly created casino accounts. This interruption is based on a number of contributing factors, including your entire history within the Casino Rewards network.

01:14

Can I see a list of my accounts

01:16

I thought I only had 2

01:16

The time out depends on the system, [EDIT].

01:17

You are not able to check your system?

01:18

It is based on an algorithm, [EDIT].

01:18

We are not able to predict when it will change, I am afraid.

01:18

Well its wrong how do I get refunded

01:18

This is theft under 1000$ here in canada

01:19

You could still claim on our 10% match bonus offer, [EDIT].

01:19

No I need my deposit back

01:20

Immediately

01:20

Please rest assured, there will be more bonuses, offers and promotions available in the future!

01:20

Well this promotion was not honored

01:21

I need my money back its your mistake

01:21

The promotion has not been honoured, as there is suspension on your Welcome Offers, [EDIT].

01:22

Im a tech agent for telus communications in canada. I am not computer illiterate

01:22

I understand your frustration, [EDIT]. I am afraid, that eligibility for Welcome Offers depend on our system.

01:23

I need my money back

01:23

As soon as possible

01:23

So your system is programmed to steal?

01:24

That is illigal

01:24

You could request a withdrawal as soon as you will have $50 of a cash balance, [EDIT].

01:24

Nope I need my 1$ back

01:24

Or I will take legal action

01:25

We are unable to action funds on our players behalf, [EDIT].

01:25

Im calling my bamk right now to request it back

01:26

Bank*

01:26

The minimum withdrawal amount is set at $50 of a cash balance, [EDIT].

01:26

I will send you a money request e-transfer

01:26

What is your support email

01:27

[email protected]

01:27

I need the money back today

01:27

As I mentioned, you could request a withdrawal, as soon as you will have $50 of a cash balance and no bonus balance, [EDIT].

01:29

What are the odds of that?? Hahah

01:29

Would you maybe like the list of our hot games, [EDIT]?

01:30

I only deposited becuase it gave me a promotion

01:30

No I need the etransfer back

01:30

Contact the payment team please

01:30

I am afraid, I not able to do that just now, [EDIT].

01:31

I understand your frustration, the eligibility for our welcome offers does not depend on me, I am afraid.

01:31

Excuse me, are you still with me, [EDIT]?

01:33

Yep

01:33

Just about to send you a money request

01:34

Is there anything else I could do for you at the moment, [EDIT]?

01:34

Just talked with my bank

01:34

Certainly.

01:34

The only thing you can do is add what i paid for or accept my request otherwise my bank will handle it

01:35

They got some good lawyers

01:35

Is there any way I could help you, [EDIT]?

01:35

Its online theft

01:35

Nope just be aure to send a transcript of this chat to my email

01:36

Even the this is recorded

01:36

Sure.

01:36

Have I answered all of your questions just now?

01:36

No you did not give me the reason your "system" froze my vip points

01:37

I have checked your Casino Rewards account and I can see that a temporary suspension has been implemented. This break only affects your entitlement to redeem the VIP points in your Casino Accounts and the great news is that you will still be able to earn VIP points while wagering at the casino. You will also still accumulate VIP points by participating in our promotions. This suspension is based on a number of contributing factors, including your entire history within the Casino Rewards network. The VIP points will be there waiting for you as soon as point redemption has been reactivated for your account. All you need to do is continue to demonstrate your intention to play, deposit and place bets at the casino with your funds until you are able to redeem points again.

01:39

What is the reason

01:40

Thats no reason

01:40

As per the casinos promotional Terms

Hi jmylahmoses - welcome to ThePOGG.com.

The only thing we would have requested of the operator in this situation is a refund of your deposit. The operator are within their rights to decline you further promotional access. As you've already contacted your bank to contest your deposit there's nothing that we can do to help you.

Thanks,

ThePOGG
