Gamblezen Casino - Spelarens konto stängdes av på grund av platsproblem.

My account was suspended on the grounds that I supposedly come from and reside in Turkey, a country where Gamblezen Casino is not active. However, I have been living in Germany for 46 years. Although I hold a Turkish passport, I have a valid residence permit and a residential address in Germany. Unfortunately, I have deleted the emails from Gamblezen Casino, but I still have the emails that I sent to them. My account was suspended at the end of March, and I sent my first email to Gamblezen Casino on 1st April. In it, I explained that I live in Germany and have not done anything unfair or violated any of Gamblezen's rules. Yet, no one responded to me.

Mein konto wurde gesperrt weil ich angeblich aus der türkei komme und dort lebe ,bedeutet ein Land in dem gamblezen casino nicht aktiv ist. Dabei lebe ich seit 46 Jahren in Deutschland. Ich besitze den türkischen Pass aber habe einen gültigen aufenthaltstitel mit einer Wohnsitz in Deutschland. Leider habe ich die e Mails von gamblezen gelöscht aber habe noch die Emails die ich gamblezen geschickt habe. Mein konto wurde ende März gesperrt und ich habe mein ersten mail an gamblezen 1. April geschickt. Darin habe ich erklärt das ich in Deutschland lebe und nichts unfaires oder nicht gegen die gamblezen regeln verstoßen habe. Es wurde nie drauf reagiert.

Dear Egon78,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to make sure I understand your situation completely.

Have you submitted correct personal information in your casino profile?

Do I understand correctly that you have a permanent address in Germany?

Have you provided the casino with valid proof of address?

Could you please specify if you used any VPN or IP-masking software to access your casino account?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika

Hi Veronika, yes I have given correct information. Yes I have a permanent residence in Germany, I was even born in Germany. I have forwarded my passport to gamblezen. I have stated my place of residence on the profile. My IP is from Germany. If I lived in Turkey I would never be able to register, I would automatically be blocked by gamblezen, wouldn't I, because Turkey is not one of the countries in which gamblezen is active. Unfortunately I can't say anything about VPN or IP masking software. I got an email from gamblezen, I liked the bonus offer and went to their website and deposited with mifinity. I was very lucky and had 500 euros paid out to my account and 500 euros to mifinity and still had up to 800 euros in my gamblezen account.

Then I get an email from gamblezen, saying that their account is blocked because I'm supposedly from Turkey. Everything's gone!!! It would be great if I could get my winnings. And gamblezen pays out according to levels, they said, which is unfair. You can't have everything paid out at once.

Thank you for standing up for me.

Hi Veronika,ja ich habe korrekte angaben gemacht. Ja ich habe eine feste Wohnsitz in Deutschland,bin sogar in Deutschland geboren. Ich habe mein Pass an gamblezen weiter geleitet. Den Wohnsitz habe ich auf der profil angegeben. Mein IP ist doch aus Deutschland. Wenn ich in Türkei leben würde,könnte ich mich doch niemals anmelden,wäre doch automatisch von gamblezen gesperrt oder nicht weil die türkei nicht zu deren länder gehört das gamblezen aktiv ist. Zu VPN oder ip- maskierungssoftware kann ich leider nichts sagen. Hab email von gamblezen bekommen,mir gefiel bonus Angebot und war auf deren Seite und habe mit mifinity eingezahlt. Hatte sehr viel Glück und hatte 500 Euro an mein Konto und 500 Euro an mifinity auszahlen lassen und hatte noch bis 800 Euro auf mein gamblezen Konto.

Dann kommt ein Email von gamblezen, ihr Konto ist gesperrt weil ich angeblich aus Türkei komme. Alles weg!!! Wäre super wenn ich mein Gewinn bekommen könnte. Und gamblezen zahlt aus nach levels hieß es , das ist unfair .Mann kann nicht alles auf einmal auszahlen lassen.

Ich danke dir ,das du dich für mich einsetzt.

Please forward all the communication between you and the casino customer support that could be relevant to the investigation of your case. My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru. Thank you.

I only have this letter from me

Best regards

Could you please explain why you do not wish to answer the question on VPN usage? I am afraid the answer to this question is vital for deciding whether the case should be investigated further.

Hi Veronika, nice to hear from you.

I didn't know what VPN stands for, so I looked it up on the internet. I can assure you that I don't use or have downloaded any VPNs. Everything ran through my IP without a VPN. I hope to get positive answers from you.

Best regards

Mesut (Egon)

Hi Veronika, schön von dir zu hören.

Ich wusste nicht wofür vpn steht und habe mich deshalb im internet informiert. Ich kann dir versichern das ich keine vpn's benutze oder geladen habe. Es lief alles über mein IP ohne vpn. Ich hoffe von dir positive Antworten zu bekommen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Thank you very much, Egon78, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.k@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hello Egon78,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will contact the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite Gamblezen Casino to join the conversation.

Dear Gamblezen Casino,

Can you please provide explanation as to why the player's winnings were confiscated despite the player providing proof of their residence in an allowed country? If there is any additional information that can't be shared publicly, please forward it to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Dear Casino Guru and Egon78.

When registering, the client provided misinformation and chose the country "Germany", being a citizen of "Turkey". Our project does not work in Turkey, and Turkish citizens are prohibited from registering at Gamblezen Casino (Turkey is even not in the list of countries for registration), therefore the player’s account was closed and the funds he had previously deposited were returned to him.

Please also note that in this complaint the player also provides misinformation, saying that he was paid 500 euros to his account and also 500 euros to Mifinity.

Our casino did not make any payouts to the player, since documents of a Turkish citizen were provided during KYC; therefore, the player’s account was closed and the deposit was returned to the player.

Respectfully,

Gamblezen Casino Representative

Gamblezen, I LIVE IN GERMANY WHAT DOES ALL THIS HAVE TO DO WITH TURKEY, I HAVE A TURKISH PASSPORT BUT I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN GERMANY FOR 46 YEARS, AM REGISTERED HERE AND HAVE A RESIDENCE. THEN YOU HAVE TO BE MORE PRECISE AND WHEN FILLING OUT THE PROFILE INFORMATION, POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH A TURKISH PASSPORT. THAT WASN'T THE CASE FOR YOU. I WAS ALLOWED TO PLAY, WHY??? IF I HAD LOST MY DEPOSIT, WOULD IT PROBABLY BE OK WITH YOU OR WHAT!!!

AND STAY WITH THE TRUTH. IT MUST ALSO BE DOCUMENTED TO YOU THAT I CONFIRMED PAYOUTS AND THERE WAS 500 EUROS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT AND 500 EUROS IN MIFINITY ACCOUNT. AND I STILL HAD MORE THAN 500 EUROS IN MY GAMBLEZEN ACCOUNT. AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS PLEASE.

EGON78

Gamblezen ,ICH LEBE IN DEUTSCHLAND WAS HAT DAS GANZE MIT DER TÜRKEI ZU TUN ,ICH BESITZE TÜRKISCHEN PASS ABER ICH LEBE SEIT 46 JAHREN IN DEUTSCHLAND,BIN HIER ANGEMELDET UND HABE EIN WOHNSITZ. DANN MÜSSEN SIE PRÄZIESER SEIN UND BEIM AUSFÜLLEN VON PROFIL INFORMATION DARAUF HINWEISEN DAS MAN MIT TÜRKISCHEN PASS NICHT SPIELEN DARF. DAS WAR BEI IHNEN NICHT DER FALL. ICH DURFTE SPIELEN ,WARUM??? HÄTTE ICH MEINE ANZAHLUNG VERLOREN,WÄRE WOHL DAS OK SIE ODER WAS!!!

UND BLEIBEN SIE BEI DER WAHRHEIT. DAS MUSS AUCH BEI IHNEN DOKUMENTIERT SEIN DAS ICH AUSZAHLUNGEN BESTÄTIGT HABE UNSWAR 500 EURO MEIN BANKKONTO UND 500 EURO MIFINITY KONTO. UND HATTE NOCH MEHR ALS 500 EURO AUF GAMBLEZEN KONTO. EINE ERKLÄRUNG DAZU BITTE.

EGON78

I think they are cheating!!! That's all, they just don't want to pay. All the players in the world should know that playing with them is a risk.

Egon78

Ich finde sie betrügen!!! Nichts anderes ,sie wollen einfach nicht zahlen. Das sollen die ganzen Spieler auf der Welt wissen das das Spielen bei ihnen ein Risiko ist.

Egon78

Yes, I want my winnings down to the last cent. I played fairly and did not cheat

Ja ich möchte mein Gewinn bis auf letzte Cent. Ich habe fair gespielt und nicht betrogen

Dear Egon78,

Do you have any other official documents issued by the German authority (ID, driving license, working permit, etc.) that might prove you have lived a long time in Germany apart from the proof of your residence? If so, please forward it to me at michal.k@casino.guru including the proof of your residence.

Dear Gamblezen Casino Representative,

I have checked your terms and conditions from a German VPN as well as from an international VPN and I have not found Turkey listed as a restricted country there...

German VPN: (Bedingungen und Konditionen | Gamblezen Casino)

International VPN: (https://gamblezen.com/en/page/terms-and-conditions)

Another thing I have to mention. In the registration form, when filling out the address, it is not mentioned to fill in your citizenship, so naturally, the player filled in their current address in Germany. Please let me know if there are any other reasons for your actions, but from the information gathered so far, I don't see any wrongdoing by the player, and that's why I believe the player should receive their winnings.

Hello, Michal. We have answered you in the direct messages.

Respectfully,

Gamblezen Casino Representative.

Dear Gamblezen Casino Representative,

Thank you for your response. I am awaiting further information from your finance department and remain hopeful that we can find a suitable resolution to this complaint.

The player's account was opened and the winnings were added to the balance, minus the amount of the previously made refund to the player.
