Hi All,

Sorry for the lengthy post.

I require some assistance please regarding Mr Vegas not crediting winnings of £3800 (plus bet?) from a CrazyTime win.

Incident date: 08 April 2022 @ 00:25
Bet amount: £38 (of a £248 total)
Proof: Screenshots (I do have all chat Logs and emails)
UK (England) based player.

On the early hours of the morning of 8th April I was playing CrazyTime (yes I know people scream scam, so let's leave that out of this please)

After a number of bets losing and winning I built up a decent amount to decide to go all in and call it a day (was in bed playing the game)
I placed a total stake of £248 across the board.
Taking screenshots of the play ready to brag to my mate.
Much to my shock and joy CrazyTime dropped in with a £38 stake. Still taking screenshots the door open-end to the mayhem behind it.

I selected the yellow wedge and watched the guy spin hit the button and crossing fingers for either double or a big win.
Result was 100x. I was not disappointed £3800.
The x100 was even displayed against my ticket with the £38.

Game returned back to the wheel, but no winnings were credited.

After a but of a WTF moment, scrambling to turn light on and grab my glasses, contacted Live Chat with CS.

I explained to them the issue, and provided screenshots of each and every stage of the bet, all with the timestamp in the bottom corner of the screen for that game round.

CS: I cannot see the bet being registered in our back office, I'll forward this to be checked by our games team who will contact evolution gaming to check the round and hopefully it can be easily fixed then and the wins added."

Me: how long it would take.

CS: It can take some time, like from 1-3 weeks, the customer round checks take some time depending how fast the provider can check the rounds, evolution gaming is usually quite fast so hopefully not too long.

I stated to her that you can see the bet was placed and accepted in the images

CS: Yeah that's true, good you took the screenshots for proof, we'll get back to you via email at the earliest once we hear back from Evolution gaming. It does belong to you, so hopefully we can sort it out at the earliest without issues :)

Me: Is there a reference number for this issue, or do I need to raise it as a complaint and how do I get chat transcript.

CS: It will be linked to your account so you can always come to chat to ask for an update or email us, You can find the option for the chat transcript in the menu with 3 dots on the bottom-right corner. After clicking the "Email transcript" you get one more pop-up asking for a email address where to send the transcript.

I thanked her for assistance and closed chat - this I thought was me contacting as a complaint & at no point was any guidance given to suggest otherwise.

Few days past and then I contacted CS again on 11th and 13th no update as yet.

14th I contacted again, no update but also I enquired as I had not received any communication/acknowledgement of my complaint and told them that I was lead to believe it was a complaint.
The CS advised they would go through the chat logs and email me back.

This did not happen.

16th I contact CS asked as to why I haven't been contacted in regards to update and acknowledgement of complaint, advised no update team operates on a ticketing system and had no further update. In regards to compalint they said that they added a note and someone will be intouch.

Due to ill health, I couldn't contact them again until the 20th April - once again no update and nothing stated on my account.

22nd Contact CS again:
CS: at the moment there is no update, I see that we have requested an update, unfortunately we cannot give a time scale on this but aim to get back to you regarding this via email as soon as possible
I will also put this information once again over to our payments team

Me: It's been two weeks and I haven't received any update what so ever from anyone - promises of emails from CS have not materialised.
I was also promised by a previous CS that this was recorded as a complaint due to the nature of the issue - I've had no acknowledgement or feed back when that agent promised it will be handled by her and I will be emailed

CS: There is a queueing system and for sure you will be updated very soon

Me: So where am I on the queue?
I'm sorry but Very soon = mins, hours, days --- not weeks

CS: I dont have this information but I have addressed this as an urgent matter
Rest assured we will be back to you regarding this matter

Me: If you know there is a queue why can I not be told where I am in the queue / expected time frame etc
But after two weeks it's been me contacting each and every time

CS: We do not have the timeframes
I have noted you as urgent and raised this for escalation.
The payments team will be looking into this and get back to you accordingly

Me: Payment team?
I was told it's Game Team, Nothing to do with payment team

CS: They will send you an email once this has updated.

Me: I was also promised by a previous CS that this was recorded as a complaint due to the nature of the issue - I've had no acknowledgement or feedback when that agent promised it will be handled by her and I will be emailed --- has this been actioned

CS: We have put your case forward now we have to wait for the update, the moment we know we will inform you

Me: So it hasn't been raised as a complaint?

CS: Your case has been raised as urgent, I will also raise this as a complaint

Me: There is a difference between putting a case forward and complaint - each will have a different reference number
Do you have any reference numbers relating to this?

CS: I am now putting this complaint forward. We have all the notes from your account regarding all conversations

I received an email on 25th April stating complaint has been logged with a ref number and back dated to 8th April.

Every couple of days I contact CS again either twice or three times a day for an update - met with the same stuck record as we don't have an update but we will escalate it, but still don't hear anything.
But various agents saying yes they can see from the screenshots the bet, the game round and cannot see any reason not to be paid so i haven't got anything to worry about.

Fast forward to.20th May.
Contact CS again.
No update from the game team, so I asked about my complaint.
She advised that they have 8wks from 24th April for resolution. I queried this and advised her that the compalint was supposed to have been backdated to 8th April. She said she could see that in the note but it had not been done, so was now raising a complaint about this (yeah a complaint about a complaint about a complaint you can't make it up!)

Again over the next days contact CS every couple.days - same answer.

26th contact again and it's the same agent from the 8th.
She tells me that they had a response from Evolution but are now querying this as the game data does not match my complaint.
I asked so despite screenshots with time stamps they are basically saying I'm lying?
She advised that was not the case, but cannot be specific details about the internal investigation on it.
She went on to say that once the investigation is ready, at this moment I do not have more updates about the win. Hopefully next week at some point we'll have it added for you in the full amount.

Again I chase 30th, 31st and the morning of the 1st June, and yet again no update.

Then on the afternoon I get an email from "customer experience"
It said:
"We hope you are well.
We are contacting you in regards to your complaint raised with us on the 8th of April.
We want to firstly apologize for the time length it has taken to get back to you in regards to your missing win, however we kindly ask you to understand that some cases are more complicated than others and in some situations we need to check with different departments until we can considered resolved the matter as well handling other cases at the same time.


In regards to your issue in Crazy time, please note that after raising it to the provider we were confirmed that the bet of GBP 248 was rejected due to insufficient funds. We then proceed to investigate your balance, bets and wins between 2022-04-08 00:19:07 GMT & 2022-04-08 00:54:34 GMT to make sure there was no irregularity. In the previous round you had a balance of 265,22 GBP, placing a bet of 192 GBP the balance lowered to 73.22 GBP after which it increased to 193.22 GBP after a win of 120 GBP. It was at this point when you tried to place the 248 GBP rejected bet which was rejected and funds returned due insufficient balance, which in fact was not enough.

In the screenshot provided the balance shows however that the balance was 250.22 GBP this being result of either a visual glitch/ connection error.
In any case the bet was never accepted by the game provider as there were no funds
.
Should you have further queries please feel free to contact us again."

Now this really has pissed me off
As you can see in my screenshots the bet was placed, the game round played out.
Meaning there was no connection issues or insufficient funds.

When you try to place a bet on CrazyTime with insufficent funds' you get a "Balance to low" message as shown in the screenshots I took yesterday.
To say the balance was a visual glitch is a piss take as well, this was built up from various bets placed.
But low and behold all game information from 00:19:34 to 00:27:43, which conveniently includes the round at which I won £3800 (round commencement 00:25:47 round end 00:27:43) is missing.

Now I haven't responded to this email.
It doesn't mention anything about escalation or who I need to contact or even if it's a final response.

So at the moment I'm in limbo.

Do I email them and wait another 2mths for them to respond.
Do I contact UKGC?
Do I contact IBAS? (Who are they and what do they do)

Attached is you will find 7 screenshots relating to the bet (all time-stamp 00:25 to 00:27) on the 8th and 3 taken yesterday to prove the balance low message.

(Just so happens change of dealer yesterday from a female to the bloke from the 8th)

Had the same thing with pragmatic & I had it recorded I also got the same response exactly as they worded it.

Connection issue server did not accept the bet although I had 38 on 8, they also stated I had insufficient funds to place the bet again it was a final clearance bet.

Again you cannot bet more than is in your account it tells you.

I didn't receive my win but got the stakes back.

You need to contact evolution games with the game ID & force them to review it.

I don't play any table games without recording & they still have a get out clause.

That's the whole problem with online live games, hence to why I do not believe its truly 100% like a bricks n mortar game.

Glitches do happen but evo just shove it under the carpet, yours sadly shows what it's like, there's a few videos with stark truth of these gamea/software messing up.

Silly question was your bet of £248 returned to your acc ?

Seems as you bet was returned, you need to have a screen shot history in right hand corner it will show the bet in that.
 
Open up any live evolution game, go into history top right hand box click it, it will show every single bet placed for months & months, track down play on 8 April, scren shot that days play.
It will confirm that bet placed if not you won't get a penny despite your screen shots.

Nothing 7th April or upto 8th April 00:49 recorded on CrazyTime itself, where MrVegas account history shows upto 00:19??
 
Hmm that's strange, it logs every single bet placed & any of their own table games also shows in player history doesn't matter which live game you play, I've just checked my Mrs & it shows loads dating back weeks.
Time of bet etc etc date.
Are you sure you looking at correct player history??

Seems a glitch in your history sorry didn't see you had missing game play time.
That's key to getting paid.

FFS it's +1 so time on MrVega/CrazyTime history is an hour different to the screentime

It shows the bet as MyVegas has stated £192 and a £72 win but after that nothing till after I spoke with CS despite me building the balance upto £252 to place the £248

There's the problem if it doesn't show in game history you've zero chance of getting those funds, you would of had a better case had it been recorded.

At least you could fight the corner screen shots are fine but my advice would be to record all table play.
 
I doubt it due to the history of bets, it does make a record of every bet placed on evolutions server, so if it doesn't show its going to be hard.
Although clearly you do have screen shots showing your bet times, again they've gone through them & it doesnt support the logs as per mrvegas have shown.
Had you had a hard copy via video, you could then proceed to upper management to have it reviewed again.

Without that your kinda stuck

I've been through it around 5 times I've got my winnings twice, pragmatic once & netent once, never got anywhere with evolution games, I think chuchu has the same problem with baccarat.
 
Ive had such a problem with Pragmatic live roulette. First time i ever played it i put 800 in it with 200 bets, at Duelz casino. Last 200 bet was registered but returned few minutes later back to the account. It fell on 29, the favorite number of the bunch, would have paid 900+ thanks to side bets on neighbors. Had no screenshots/videos nor the nerves to try to pursue it but i acted rapidly with a permanent self exclusion, after losing the mind in the chat calling them for what they are. It would have been the second largest win on 29 in live roulette since i started playing in the online scam. Likely the official convenient answer would have been that the bet wasnt registered. You have a strong case here, but you are dealing with crooks on both sides, mr vegas non transparency and documented greed, and evilution scam malfutioning games. They make so much they can easily buy the industry as a whole
 
So your advice is to persue it further as I have a case?
So far it's 2:1 good case

The history is another thing that puzzles me, MrVegas v Evolution is an hour's difference (including my screenshots) would that cause any issues?
 
Your bets were settled as seen in the pics. The rest is can-can. Either side should acknowledge the issue and not only pay what you are owed but also issue you a bonus. In a ideal situation. You would not be able to place a bet with partly insufficient balance, end of story. Malfunction voids all bets, except that i fail to see the malfunction except the yime difference within the servers. Had it fell on 1 instead of Crazy Time, your bet would have been gone. Casino attitude and timeframes for answers is disgusting, as expected tho. As you noticed you have 3 seconds to place your bets in this particular game, forcing you to bet on all features and then keep on repeating. Responsible gaming at its finest Pursue it further but dont hold strong hopes in spite of evidence. Who are paying the regulators? Youve got your answer.
 
So submitted to IBAS
They've contacted me today and have said
"In order for us to consider this we do need you to secure a final decision from them about your complaint. You mention a June 1 email from them – does this say it is a final decision and refer you to us? In any case, you should send it to me. If it is not a ‘final decision’, please explain to them that IBAS require this."

Well I contacted CS on 2nd Jun and again today and they are extremely reluctant at sending me final decision - I have forwarded the email from the 1st and the chat logs showing myself requesting this.

The CS agent today said they will raise it as a complaint and I should here back within 8wks and if not I can take it to ADR. Complete muppet.
20mins it took me to get it through to them what I required but still says they've escalated it.

Do if they don't give me the final decision when I've asked repeatedly does that mean I've no chance of going down the ADR route now.

@Team.Videoslots can you please get them to send me a final response.
 
Quite the opposite...

I would double-check exactly when you first asked them to raise it as a complaint. According to the UKGC the eight weeks starts at the point they "receive the complaint", so if this is around 8th April as you suggest (and they've quoted the "8 weeks" to you previously), then it's possible that you are already eligible to escalate it to ADR with or without a final decision.

I'd take a moment to brush up on your
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
and then clarify you're looking to take it to ADR imminently because their eight weeks have either already expired or are about to - unfortunately it does seem like they're stalling you at the moment.

The cost is borne by the casino and not the player. The casino will provide their evidence to the ADR as part of the process - obviously your screenshots will help as well.

--

If it helps paint the picture, I had a similar scenario on a different money wheel last year (different casino, about £100 owed), where the game had a determined result but was recorded incorrectly. The casino used similar stalling tactics by providing no updates, and I had to chase them weekly without much success.

That was, until I pointed out their 8 weeks for the ADR process was nearly up - and they changed tactics... trying to scare me that they'll issue the "final decision" and stop talking to me, and it'll be up to the ADR. Having done my research I said fine, send me the letter.

Clearly they tried this bluff with a few people - in my case they quickly backed down and offered full and final settlement, but others decided to take it to ADR instead and it backfired for the casino, because shortly after they issued a blanket refund to everyone affected after being "made aware" of the problem!

Admittedly I had screenshots and game logs confirming the round in question, the provider acknowledged the error, and it was for a much smaller amount than yours - but the process is the same. I wish you good luck :thumbsup:
 
I’m not 100% sure if it’s still the case, but IBAS used to request a ‘deadlock’ number. You get this from the operator at the final stage of the internal dispute.
I can't even get them to confirm if they are on the planet earth!
Chatted with them today - apparently the reason why they have not provided this Final Decision is to give me a better response.
Well, they've said I'm not getting the funds on the 1st June, the only better response would be here's your £3800 plus a non-wagering requirement bonus (as suggested by @syntynyt

IBAS have also been in contact with the following:
"Given Mr Vegas did say they were seeking to give you a final decision, I think it is reasonable to wait a bit longer.

If you haven’t heard anything by say Monday, please email [email protected] once more and explain again that IBAS need this – copy me into the email and do include this chain."

I best prepare the email now, as I fly to Portugal Monday morning.
 
Well they piss me off again.
Today they have stated a Final Decision will be given soon, this is because I disputed there email sent on 1st June.

I'm like wtf - on 2nd June I requested if it was their final decision and if not to provide an email with those words, so I can escalate it further.

Because I said I'm escalating it further, they have taken that as me disputing with them directly so are now "looking into my dispute".

I've not provided any other information to what they've already been supplied so what are they looking at?
They can not give a time frame on the final decision. Oh and they confirm they obided by UKGC 8wk timeframe for resolution by sending the email on the 1st June - yep the one that doesn't state final decision.

I think I might change my flight from Portugal to Malta and go bang some heads!
 
Shame UKGC dont help like MGA they have page on their website if players got problem with licence casino
 
What are they stalling here? Except playing with your nerves? Someone needs to be fired there for not even pretending at doing their job. In this dreadful online world slow and shitty communication is allowed with no consequences. BetAt has been once blackmailed with ddos, when they were a good casino for its day, and for their refusal to pay they were crushed. Some white knights hackers dealing with inepts behind this sorta casinos are needed. When common sense cant be enforced, deal with lost revenue for a week, see how they like it
 
I've just noticed on my last chat log -- they gave me all the information that they could see about my account and the query but didn't do any validation check like they normally do.. so it just goes to show that that's a bullshit activity, what are you confirming to them and why?
 
Did the preceding bet of £192 win or lose? In post #13 you said it won £72 but the screenshot shows it lost £72.
Well spotted - my mistake.
never noticed that.

I think that means I made a loss of -72 off my bet? I'm unsure if it shows the return or not of complete bet v win.

Mr Vegas said.
"We then proceed to investigate your balance, bets and wins between 2022-04-08 00:19:07 GMT & 2022-04-08 00:54:34 GMT to make sure there was no irregularity. In the previous round you had a balance of 265,22 GBP, placing a bet of 192 GBP the balance lowered to 73.22 GBP after which it increased to 193.22 GBP after a win of 120 GBP."

As you can see in the image no win of £120 is displayed and that should of been at 01:19:34 on CrazyTime log (BST 00:19:34) just the -72 so I think that it's does the profit/loss of bet not the actual return.


So there's a fault.
 
Sorry to suggest this but is there a possibility that their explanation may be correct? You started the preceding bet with 265.22, lost 72, a glitch meant your balance was updated incorrectly making you think the bet was profitable, the next bet was rejected at their end for insufficient funds but another glitch meant the rejection wasn't shown on screen? To take your complaint forward I think it would help to pinpoint what you are disputing about their description of the preceding bet, e.g. the starting balance, the returns. You can click on the individual bet to see the outcome of the round to try to jog your memory. The glitch with the incorrect balance has happened to me a few times with Evolution games but it usually corrects itself after the next betting round closes.
 
No need to be sorry everyone is free to comment on this board.

There was no glitch.
I built the balance back up.
Placed the bets and built the balance back up.
Placed the bet on the game round - no error message of "balance too low",
the bet was accepted,
I was able to select the flapper/wedge
Outcome was displayed on ticket.

If it was a visual glitch on balance then I would not have been able to place a bet.
If it was a connection error the stream will pause or you get a message about the connection error.

I was able to play the game round from bet to finish in full and watch as well.

There was a full 8mins of gameplay from when Mr.Vegas records the last £192 bet to when the game round ended.and did not pay.
 
Update.
No response as expected so emailed [email protected] and included IBAS at IBAS request before I boarded my flight Monday.
By the time we landed in Portugal, they responded.
"
Thank you for contacting us.

We understand that the wait has been long and, unfortunately, the resolution wasn't what you wanted to hear. As you disputed our resolution, we will take second look if there's any reason in our and game providers logs that would explain the incorrect balance showing up to you.

Our casino team is checking with our developers if they can find anything wrong from our end, and we have been in contact with the game provider for them to double check everything. This is high priority case but, unfortunately, I cannot promise exact time frame. Hopefully within the next few days we know more. We can then provide you deadlock letter and you may contact ADR, if you wish to do so.

We truly apologize that it has taken so long time to find a resolution to this."

So it goes "blah blah blah, your not getting your money as we are going to provide a deadlock letter"
 
maybe somehow register a claim against the software provider or license holder ? You have evidence against faulty software that has been validated by a test company .

Your situation is obviously more than just a visual glitch .
 
Still awaiting final decision/deadlock from them.
I've contacted them a number of times in past 10days but get the same thing on chat "no update, we will escalate".

IBAS can't do anything with out this (they've been included on all emails sent and I've forwarded MrVegas response Inc chat logs)

Is there anything else I can do?
Would UKGC do anything about it?

Afraid I doubt the UKGC will do anything, they have no real interest in helping the average player.

I wouldn't know where to take the issue next. It seems you have been given your explanation and final decision by Evo.

Perhaps @neilw may be able to advise or shed some light.

Hard to believe the system failed and allowed you to place a bet if there were insufficient funds. I just didn't think the systems would allow it.

Curious why IBAS still aren't able to take it - the

(which links on to the LCCP 6.1.1.2 - the licensing terms for the casino) says the internal process can terminate if unresolved for 8 weeks unless the customer has failed to respond to information (in a reasonable timeframe) or a final position or deadlock is issued.

If you do talk to the UKGC, make clear this is an ADR issue (in that MrVegas is refusing to allow IBAS to handle it) rather than a gambling complaint - the former the UKGC will handle, the latter they will not. Perhaps see if IBAS are willing to set a time frame as to when they'll automatically accept the case, because this does seem like significant stalling tactics now - and if this drags on for too long (e.g. six months+) then you have the other side where casinos can start to decline complaints...
