  1. The game was clearly not operating as intended, this has happened many times in the past to people and always ends up with the same result.

    Every casino game will have written into the game rules that 'malfunction voids all pays and plays'. Essentially meaning that if situations like this happen, the casino are covered to remove any associated winnings from a game that is not operating correctly.

    However, in the past people clearly knowing a game is paying out much more than what it should do have been successful in cashing out before the casino have got onto them. This was done by taking advantage of the game by 'winning' small amounts at a time, and not requesting any 'large' cashouts.
    Seeing as you span 95 Euros to 40K, before approving the withdrawal the casino will naturally look at your gameplay and will be able to see that something is not right.

    The casino will not state what the problem is until they absolutely have to do. This is to protect themselves from any potential legal recourse and saying something that will get them in trouble before knowing exactly what happened, and have consulted their legal team in regard to how to approach this.

    In previous situations where this has happened, players generally only get their deposit back, and any winnings associated with that specific game that is not operating properly will be void. You may get a small amount of compensation for what's happened.

    You can try to fight this with by placing a complaint with the relevant licensing authority or ECOGRA. However, historically this has never been successful. The casinos risk and compliance department and legal team will be writing a very carefully worded email as we speak if they haven't done so already, highlighting that the game was not operating as intended, and why this means that you will unfortunately not get any winnings from it. They will have already contacted the game provider for evidence that the game was faulty to provide if a complaint is made and an investigation happens.

    Fantastic win!You can trust LeoVegas for sure.Just be patient and never ever play it back,congratz.

    I second this!

    Take a little break from gambling and go spend the money on something nice and invest it so you can't give it all back. As we all know, it's super easy to get giddy after a big win and play more and at bigger stakes than usual.

    No worries man.

    If you have the video on your device, you can click on the bottom of the comment box to upload it, as shown below:

    If you didn't manage to record it, you can even ask Leo Vegas live chat for a reply link. Or, seeing as it's a No Limit City game, it should be available on their own replay feature available in game.

  3. Hi @GamblerFromFinland,

    Sorry to hear about your experience mate. This behaviour from the casino is disgusting.
    The fact they haven't provided any evidence of the breach of their ToS says it all.

    Unfortunately, SlotV is a Curacao licensed casino, making filing a complaint much more difficult in comparison to a casino with a more reputable gaming licence. It also means you're far more likely to be unsuccessful. 
    However, you may wish to see if you have any luck submitting a complaint to the Curacao Licensing Authority. You can do this at the following link here - https://www.curacao-egaming.com/public-and-players/#section-file-a-complaint

    Hi I signed up with Leo vegas last nite 80 deposit within an hr I was playing mental 20p spins and hit the child on 4 reels with a 30x then a 500 x multi it paid an instant 12000 pounds 60000 x am I safe for withdrawals with them I'm a bit nervous 

    Hi mate.

    First of all, congratulations on your win! That's an enormous sum of money for 20p per spin!

    In regard to cashing out, you should be fine. As long as you haven't breached the terms of any deposit bonus' you may have taken, and all your ID and KYC documents have been validated, you'll be able to get your money with no issues.

    If you do come across any difficulties, keep us updated on this thread and someone will look into it for you.

    Hi @CrazyLoop, welcome to CG!

    There's a list of casino's for you to choose from here. All of them will allow bonus buys on applicable games.
    Although bear in mind, not all locations allow bonus buys due to gaming regulations. So if you're from a place such as the U.K for example, you're out of luck!

    I agree but I think the bigger issue is that they're claiming it's real life and not fiction. Like a movie that says 'based on a true story' but is actually 100% made up. And when you consider young audience who buy into this fantasy thinking they will win big like their idol AyeZee, the fakeness becomes unethical and disturbing.

    The ethical issue is exposing your audience to a potentially harmful and addictive activity, without exposing yourself to any of the risk involved, whilst giving the impression that you are.

    The ethics get even more questionable when you're actively promoting certain platforms, and actually benefiting financially from everyone that uses your referral code. Even more so considering the platforms in question have no responsible gambling features, no ability to self exclude, don't follow AML and KYC (unless it's in their interest to not pay out), can easily be accessed and used by underage people, and are generally the worst places for anyone that could develop a problematic gambling disorder, or already has one.

    No doubt Twitch should step in. Now they have proof. I don't see why would they want him on their website unless they just like collecting the ad rev and sub money from his channel.

    Twitch generate lots of revenue from these streamers with the amount of viewers and subscribers they get. With some of them even accepting donations, this further boosts their revenue.

    If Twitch do eventually give in to the pressure to do something about these streamers, I'm 99% sure they will just ban all forms of gambling on the platform as it's too difficult to moderate who is 'legit' and who is not.
    Which is sad because even though 98% of the casino streamer section is full of nothing but fake money crypto streamers, the vast minority that aren't pieces of shit will also end up suffering and losing out on being able to use the platform.

    I don't consider reviewing a casino that drops games to 87% as having no real flaws in it's review as "reviewed by our team with the players' best interest at heart , and those that pass the checks are added to our index of online casinos found here." like it says on the front page. If this is the case, what good is a CG review? Seems like your average everyday run-of-the-mill aff link site where some goblin of a human being is trying to squeeze money from you regardless of anything else.

    Personally, I think many factors come into play when deciding if a casino generally has the players interests at heart.

    If they have fantastic support, have a track record of being helpful rather than not, have good responsible gambling facilities available, offer speedy withdrawals, are on point with document verification plus many other positive factors; but just have one provider that they offer with low RTP, I wouldn't say that sole factor alone would justify saying the casino isn't 'good' enough to be affiliated.
    Let alone that GC are goblins looking to squeeze money from everyone.. 😬

    It is bad enough having to play a low RTP slot but having to hunt for the RTP information is not helping the players. RTP should be clearly shown on the games loading screen so that the player can immediately close the slot down if it is not to their liking. No more hunting within the various option screens where the RTP is shown.

    @Push Gaming have got it spot on with this clearly showing the RTP of the game during the loading screen. More providers should take note.
    It can be extremely painful trawling through a games sub-menus trying to locate the RTP, almost as if it's purposely made difficult to find! 👀

    If I am not mistaken PlaynGo became the main online slot provider a couple of years ago and it seems their business plan, once reaching the top, was to encourage the casinos to lower the RTP rather then develop products that will keep them at the top.

    I don't know why they're still so popular amongst slot players.

    The whole market trend has gone towards high volatility with huge max win potential, which is the complete opposite of PlaynGo's style.
    I've never really been a fan. But, I too hope they end up fucking themselves over, and they fizzle out into nothingness.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they had used the popularity of their products to demand a much higher profit share and offered the casinos the lower RTP scales as a way for them to justify the added premium.

    example:If you want to use our products you are going to have to pay us 20% of the profits generated through our products rather then the previous 10% but don’t worry, you can lower the RTP and recoup that money!

    Pure speculation on my part(I have no doubt this is the case but also have no proof)

    This is indeed the case.

    Alongside a combination of what @Skylined87said with it being increasingly expensive for online casinos to operate in general, and especially in certain demographics.

    --

    Going from 95% RTP down to 87% may not seem like a huge difference.
    But, when you put it into perspective that its a 166% increase in the expected profit of the game, its massive.

    Kind of getting the feeling CG is just becoming one of the bunch that whores out casinolinks just to make a buck. That's not a good look by the way. There's no excuse for shit like this, it's absolutely disturbing that you'd promote robbery.

    But, I think your comment here is a little harsh and unfair though, especially saying they're promoting robbery.
    They can't be held responsible for a casino choosing to use a low RTP version of a slot from a provider. They're not going to have the time or resources to constantly monitor their affiliated casinos slot RTP percentages, especially when they can one day just choose a different RTP version without any kind of notification.

    If anything, I know Kim and others GC streamers flat out refuse to play any slot on stream that is below a certain RTP, and insist on trying to educate their audience about always checking the games RTP, and not playing ones that are low out of principal.

    Rather than blaming anyone else, I think it's important to take accountability as intelligent gamblers to know exactly what we're betting on, and make smart choices about where our money goes if your conscientious about things such as the house edge. The best thing we can do to combat low RTP games, is not to play them!

    Unfortunately, most casual gamblers don't even know what RTP is, or if they do, they don't care too much about it. They just want to play games they enjoy.

  11. Hi @JackP92,

    First of all, try clearing your cache and cookies on your browser and logging out of any active sessions on all devices before logging back in and seeing if this works for you.

    If this doesn't work, contact Live Support on the casino and let them know as much information as possible so they can find the game round.
    They may be able to open the bonus from the back end of the system depending on the provider. If not, they will have to contact the provider and it will take a few days for them to resolve the issue.

    Let us know how you get on! 🙂

  12. I'm pretty sure that 99.9%, if not all crypto streamers don't actually put a penny of their own money in whilst 'gambling'.

    Coffeezilla and SomeOrdinaryGamers did a great job of looking into this during their YouTube mini-series.
    A quick search of the streamers wallets on the blockchain either shows that there is zero activity on them, meaning nothing has ever been deposited or withdrawn; so it's practically monopoly money or a 'free play balance'. Or, the funds clearly come from another crypto wallet that is owned and operated by the casino itself.

    More than anything though, I honestly do not know how anyone watches these people and finds it entertaining. Seeing streamers with multi-million dollar balances and playing at ridiculous levels that even billionaires would struggle to sustain is not enjoyable to watch. There is no audience engagement with their community. There's either no reaction to 'big wins' or 'losses', it's put on and acted very, very poorly, or is some kid going over the top and screaming and doing crazy shit that is frankly just irritating.

    I genuinely believe they only get the amount of viewers that they do as they perform giveaways on stream that are financed by the casinos, and 90% of the people watching are just hoping to win a few bucks. Their own audience doesn't seem to give a shit, and the majority of people in the chat are clearly only there in the hopes of getting some free money to blow on their own crypto-casino accounts.

    Actually the bot gives you more data than Tracksino / Casinoscores. Individual RTPs, RTPs of all collected spins, Crazy Time bonus blue/yellow/green distribution, cold and hot streaks, mobile notifications of big wins and best strategy calculator and what to bet suggestions. It's already running online, but since it's my hobby project I haven't had time to finish it yet. Maybe soon!

    On a side note, that is interesting. If it works well, you could easily monetize that baby, or sell it to an existing casino tracker website. Kudos!

    Edit: Epiiic. 360 from CT bonus. The odds 0,11%. The bonus has vanished from the wheel. Follow the game and look how it avoids it.

    That's just a cold streak though, it doesn't mean any foul play is at hand. We've been down this road haven't we!
    Unlikely doesn't mean impossible, or that something is going on that shouldn't be.

    Just like when CT has hit three times in a row. 64x64x64 is a one in 262,144 chance! Incredibly unlikely! Far more unlikely than 0.11%, at 0.0003814697265625%, if we're being precise.

    Ah, I see!

    According to the Gamban website, it does work globally, and not just in the U.K. - https://gamban.com/blog/does-gamban-work-in-my-country

    Main reason I mentioned Kim here is because once he said that he is not afraid of magnets on roullete but dealers that can hit specific section on live roulete. Now imagine guy that says that but it s not willing to think about wheels that are manipulated by machine.

    Roulette is entirely different. There are sections of the wheel. On crazy time, the bonus' are distributed way differently.
    But, dealers can't hit a certain section. No matter what rumours you may hear. Take it from someone who's dealt hundreds of thousands of spins of roulette.
    If we could, I would have been a millionaire by colluding with my friends a long time ago.

    I never said I wasn't willing to think about it. But, after a few seconds, logic takes precedent.

    Rtp maths may guarantee the house healthy long term profit but there is many reasons why they would want more control over everything.

    Like i said earlier for games like Crazytime it's to ensure many huge wins don't happen consecutively etc. For slots the algorithms are likely designed to get everyone playing/depositing regularly based on credit checks etc.

    Id love for someone to debunk my claims with solid proof.  

    What? You're seriously sitting there and saying that casinos run credit checks on players and manipulate that players specific players game outcomes accordingly? Why? What benefit would it give them?

    Now, it really is time to take off the tin foil hat. First of all, you can see any company who has looked up your credit report yourself. Casinos can look up your credit report for AML purposes to verify your identity, but legally have no access to the section of your credit report that shows your 'score' or any of your financial accounts. So would have no clue of your financial situation based from it.

    Besides the fact that it is 110% illegal and would be so, so easy to prove they are doing this.

    The player can't bet while the wheel is in motion as this would allow time to predict where it stops. Yet it's funny the multiplier wheel is allowed this time to make a prediction before it reveals the multiplier. Why does no one question this possible house control?

    The exact same reason why the dealers don't let you bet on a roulette wheel past a certain point. It would give an unfair advantage. If the multiplier wheel was not given time, then players would just bet on whatever section the multiplier lands on, again giving them a massive advantage.

    Btw I just checked tracksino.com results. Look at how the wheel avoids certain bonuses at certain times. You can calculate the odds for this scenario and like this one (wheel avoiding CT and Pachinco) happens quite often. Only after the amount of players drop under 5k, it starts giving these bonuses again. 

    Here we go 🙄 Steve enters the the thread with the same delusions.

    You have no basis for what you're saying. Apart from your very bias point of view as you self proclaimed that you're tilted with Evo, can you show us all some data or proof that 'only after players drop under 5k it starts giving bonus again?' 🤦‍♂️

    You can even feel free to use the data from the 'bot you created', which appears to do nothing differently than what CasinoScores or Tracksino already does anyway.

    What site doeseveryone use for crypto currency etc and where do you start? 

    Most people start off with Coinbase, as it's pretty user friendly and easy to get going.
    However, Crypto.com and Binance are also just as good from personal experience!

    Make sure that you get your account verified when you sign up. It's basically the same as KYC verification that casinos would ask for.
    If you're from the U.K, also try and get your bank account linked instead of purchasing with your debit/credit card. You'll save on fee's!

    Also, keep your coins secure!
    Turn on 2FA as soon as you can, and if you get serious with investing and holding coins, consider purchasing a hardware wallet for peace of mind that they're really safe. 

    This website is a good place to start learning about crypto, and will help you understand the basics of how things work, and things like the terminology.

    Happy Trading!

    Ah yes. I've just tried the U.K. number and it seems their offices are closed. Probably due to the holiday period, most people will be off until the new year.

    It seems the Live Chat is a bot and not a human, and won't transfer to one as there is likely no one in the office. I kept spamming 'speak to an agent' until it got fed up of asking me for my email address, asked me what my issue is, and then directed me either to the FAQ section, or to send them a message on the Contact Us form, which you've obviously already done.

    As much as you want your money as quickly as possible, understandably. I think this is just going to be a waiting game and you're going to have to be extra patient. 😬

    If you're not having any luck over email, perhaps you can try giving them a call instead?

    If you are using the contact form, remember to use the email address that is the same one that you registered your account with.
    Also, if you're emailing support directly. Remember to check that the email address you're using is a mailbox that is actually monitored and not a 'no reply' mailbox.

    Do you mean like national self exclusion schemes that are available for residents of countries outside of the U.K?
    If so, you can find the national self exclusion portals and further information on what help is available for other E.U countries here.

    Also, certain assistance schemes like GamCare will be happy to provide you with a free of charge subscription to GamBan if you have a chat with an advisor and they believe it will help you.

    Logically to me, they have no option but to manipulate the wheel.

    You don't understand RTP if you think results have to be manipulated to be able to mathematically predict what the house edge of a game will be over it's lifetime.

    You can mathematically predict the outcome of any random event. If you understand the maths and want to make some money by letting people bet on that event, add a little percentage for yourself, and sit and watch the money roll in. That's the entire business strategy of casinos since they've existed. You as the house or casino don't care what happens on a spin-by-spin basis, because you know over the long term, you are going to profit on the game.

    On 26/12/2021 at 12:50, BludMoon said:

    It's extremely clear that dealers spinning the wheel have to watch a TV screen telling them how hard to spin and when to release. I fully expect that the wheel is rigged to a computer and whoever controlling it can manipulate where it lands 'somewhat'.

    The human brain isn't sophisticated enough to be able to differentiate how hard you should spin a wheel to accurately generate a specific result. The flappers are changed regularly, also meaning how the wheel behaves changes on a regular basis, making it impossible to become 'skilled' enough to do this. Also, the absolute minute difference in force when spinning the wheel between what could be a 50x Crazy Time, or right next door a 1, is far, far too small to be able to be manipulated by a human.

    But most importantly. They don't need to do this. As mentioned at the beginning, they don't care what the result is. They're already guaranteed to make money over the game's lifespan.

    On 26/12/2021 at 12:50, BludMoon said:

    These businesses cannot operate on random outcomes - if the games were purely random, they would eventually go out of business at some point.. think about it..

    Entirely incorrect.

    Again, see the first point I made.

    Go and get a deck of cards and play a few million hands of Blackjack with perfect strategy and keep track of your win/loss. You'll see that the game is operating at the specific RTP that is expected.

    Or, you could theoretically make your own wheel with the same variables as Crazy Time, and go and do a few million spins. Again, keep track of the profit/loss you would make as the house. You will see that you've made money and you would not 'go out of business'.

    The maths is so simple. There is no need to 'think about it'.
