Las Vegas USA - Refunds not being paid

Ruling

Found for the Player - Las Vegas USA Casino have been unable to offer any answers as to why they have flip flopped on this issue and refused to refund the player.

Read our Las Vegas USA Casino Review.

Player's Complaint

Hi there. For a while I deposited and played at Las Vegas USA casino and its sister sites with the Main Street Group including Vegas Casino Online. Unfortunately, I became a problem gambler. In an online chat I requested that I be permanently excluded from all casinos within the Main Street Group. I was assured that I would be. However, some months later I was able to log back on and deposit funds.

On 12th August 2019 I complained directly to the casino about this. They assured me they would process refunds to me equalling all the deposits I made after I initially asked to be self-excluded.

On 1st Nov it was confirmed that my refunds had been made. However, I have not received a penny. I followed this up with the security manager a week later who said t y would chase the refunds up. I still haven’t received anything.

p

lease could you help me reach a resolution? I can provide screen shots of online chat conversations where they have promised that they are refunding new deposits.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi sully2015 - welcome to ThePOGG.com!

As a UK citizen you should only be playing with operators that hold a UKGC license. Las Vegas USA do not hold a UKGC license and as such are breaking UK law by accepting your custom.

Unfortunately you have chosen to play with an operator that is both negatively listed with this service and who has historically been non-cooperative with complaints submitted to us. While we will try to contact the operator on your behalf the chances of a successful mediation are low.

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Hi there,

Thank you for your assistance.

When I first joined the casino I asked if they accepted UK players and I was reassured by them that they did. How frustrating.

I understand that you are limited by what help you can give. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you require further details.

Thanks,

James

I have emailed evidence to support my complaint to the required email address.

Do not hesitate to let me know should you require more information.

Kind regards,

Hi sully2015,

Do you have a copy of the conversation where you initially requested to self-exclude?

Thanks,

Hi there,

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of my original request. In hindsight I wish I had asked for a copy. I imagined I would be permanently excluded as requested and wouldn’t ever be able to log back in. But I was obviously wrong.

Did you receive the other information action I emailed you about my complaint?

Kind regards,

Hi sully2015,

The issue here is that the operator are contesting that there was no exclusion. Without proof of the request there's little we can argue here.

Thanks,

Thanks for the update.

I am not surprised that the operator is claiming this. I can send you screen shots if online chats that I have had with them where they are confirming that I am either due a refund or have already received a refund.

Surely this will prove that they have already accepted that I had asked for self-exclusion and that they accept that they have acted inappropriately by allowing me to continue to gamble in spite of my self-exclusion request.

I wish I had kept transcripts of my request for exclusion. Surely the operator will have full records of all past online chats with me?

Just checking you received the documentation I sent a couple of weeks ago? Do you have any further updates for me?

Hi sully2015,

Sadly despite repeated efforts to contact this operator to discuss your issue we are no longer receiving any responses to our communications. At this juncture we have no reasonable expectation of this changing.

Sorry we could not be of further help.

Could you please leave the complaint open in case they do reply?

Or can you advise me what else I can do to pursue my refund?

Thanks,

Hi sully2015,

Unfortunately there is nothing further we can recommend. This is an unlicensed operator functioning in a manner that would be extremely difficult to pursue legally.

Sorry,

ThePOGG
