No remorse or sympathy from Playabets

Two months ago, I won money through the pragmatic prize drop, on the T&Cs it said it would be loaded the following Thursday - long story short it wasn’t, Ive been speaking to the support team every week since then and its a different story, “we waiting for pragmatic, theres system issues, we cant give you a turnaround time” Fast forward to yesterday, I deposited 2k and accidentally opted for the deposit bonus - Now I didn’t want that because Im aware of the implications of these bonuses and the wagering amounts to be able to withdraw. So I reached out to the support team and asked where is my bonus and I would like opt out, only to wake up the next morning with no resolution. After 3 years of pointless back and forth with the support team I am told “sorry you cant withdraw your amounts, if you cancel the bonus you lose the deposit” basically Im forced to be stuck with the bonus and my funds are held hostage. Im fighting back and there is no understanding or courtesy and Im being told basically “your money is ours, only if you win you can withdraw” So I had to play R2000 finish, where I was forced to play and lose it- just to get a bonus that I have to wager until 15k to withdraw, keep in mind a bonus I didn’t want in the first place and was accidentally opted into. No remorse or understanding from Playabets, now Im forcefully R2000 down that I couldn’t withdraw at all bc there is no heart from Playabets

Hi Shaeel,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the deposit bonus and the wagering requirements.

We have reviewed the circumstances and can confirm that the R2,000 deposit was made to claim the 50% Deposit Bonus. 

We understand that you may not have been aware of the wagering requirements before claiming the bonus. However, the bonus terms and conditions explain the applicable wagering requirements, and our rules require the deposited amount to be wagered in full before a withdrawal can be processed.

We also acknowledge your concerns regarding the delay in resolving your Pragmatic Prize Drop winnings. This matter is being reviewed separately, and we apologise for the frustration caused by the length of time you have been waiting for a resolution. Please send us a screenshot of your prize drop wins and I will be happy to credit your account.

Thank you for raising your concerns with us.

Still no response to my private reply, How am I supposed to show my winning from almost 2/3 months ago? When my game history is showing latest last month. It was R300 in prize drop winnings - shouldn’t you have a record of this? i have been digging and following up constantly and now I need to show proof of winnings from 3 months ago to still get it?
