BitcoinCasino.us - erroneously removes 4.13085 BTC from my balance
BitcoinCasino.us is a very large unlicensed casino which is surprisingly not listed on your site yet. It's consistently been the first google search result for bitcoin casino. They normally pay out. I've been very careful to follow the TOS and I've been playing there for a year with dozens of withdrawals. This time, I won a large amount of money (4.18085 BTC) and whoever was on duty when I requested a withdrawal erroneously removed almost all of my winnings. They falsely claimed that the winnings derived from redemption of comp points, which would have had a max cashout of 0.05BTC, so they subtracted everything but 0.05BTC from my balance. On the contrary, the last time I redeemed comp points I played until I lost my entire balance. Later I deposited 0.25BTC real money without any bonuses, and the winnings derive from that deposit. There is no max cashout on playing with real money. I have many screenshots and an archive.is of their terms of service, to prove everything. I am requesting that they undo the removal of 4.13085 BTC from my balance, and then allow me to withdraw the full 4.18085 BTC (in installments if necessary).
Timeline:
2:07 3/21: Previous withdrawal for 1.223 BTC
10:56 3/22: My last bonus redemption for 0.005 BTC.
10:57 3/22: played until I lost my entire balance. I don't recall for certain if it went to exactly zero or there might have been a residual that was too small to place a wager on most games (<0.00025 BTC). I normally run it down to exactly zero just in case they try to freeroll me on that technicality.
12:31 3/22 Deposited 0.25 BTC, no bonus
15:32 3/22 Deposited 0.25 BTC, no bonus
15:33 3/22 - 1:00 3/23: Played and got lucky, won a few BTC.
1:00 3/23: Attempted to withdraw 4.29 BTC. Declined due to weekly withdrawal rate limit. They said I had to wait until 3/28 to withdraw. They didn't say anything about a max cashout. The terms do say non-VIP (whoever that is, the term is not defined) can only withdraw 1 BTC per week, but this is not always applied (as per my previous lump sum withdrawal of 1.223 BTC). I don't mind if they split it into payments of ~1BTC per week.
1:49 3/28: final withdrawal request for 4.18085 BTC
1:55 3/28: received email from the casino. Title: "Ticket #FOZMO: Account closure" Message: "Dear [EDIT], We have to remind you that max win from Points Exchange is 0.05 BTC only. All the above was subtracted."
About 2:00 3/28: I log in and see the withdrawal has been discarded and my balance has been reduced to 0.05 BTC.
2:10 & 2:55 3/28: I reply to the email twice, politely explaining their error.
I have not heard anything from the casino since the original email at 1:55 on 3/28.
