0% VALUE
To measure one's loyalty to any particular brand whether it be fashion, food, or any other service orientated business one must first and foremost establish VALUE of RETURN to one's investment, to any said brand. With this in mind I must say my experience with Tsogo online casino leaves me disappointed and with no feeling of loyalty whatsoever. There are much better online casinos that offer better VALUE of RETURN or RTP. My advice to whomever is considering registering / signing up with Tsogo is to look elsewhere.

Place needs to be audited. Machines barely give features, and when it does give a feature it's when you're on your last spin and bare minimum. Play R500 but get R10. Machines are so rigged it's insane. Imagine getting R32M a month as a salary but can't even pay R1000.

Urgent Complaint – Failure to Update Contact Details & Service Impact
REQ984409 - Bet.co.za I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding your continued failure to update my phone number despite multiple requests over several months. I have repeatedly contacted your support channels to have this issue resolved, but no meaningful assistance has been provided. Specifically, I have attempted to engage with Mpho Lloyd, Fortunate, and Vuyelwa, all of whom have failed to assist in resolving this matter. I have also reached out to Escalations at Tsogo Sun. As a result of your inaction: I have not received important benefits and milestone notifications My access to rewards has been blocked My overall experience with your service has been significantly negatively impacted To make matters worse, I am unable to update my phone number independently, as your “forgot username/password” functionality on the website does not work. This has left me completely dependent on your support team, which has unfortunately been ineffective to date. This situation is unacceptable. I request that: My phone number be updated immediately Any missed benefits, milestones, or rewards be reviewed and reinstated where applicable A clear explanation be provided as to why this issue has persisted for several months Please treat this matter with urgency. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 24 hours of this email, I will escalate this matter to the relevant Ombudsman and governing board for further investigation.

Misleading clients with false information
Good day Tsogo Sun gaming app advertising is a **** and misleading to clients! It states that you receive a whopping 100% match bonus upon first deposit. Luring clients to deposit money and then thereafter telling clients only when you wager up to 20 times then can you receive it. That is total bull**** with false advertising. If taken up to the gambling authorities it is clearly ******** to lure clients and technically lie to them about a 100% match bonus upon first deposit. Other online platforms, when they advertise this they actually give you the 100% deposit. Why is Tsogo gaming misleading clients? I want feedback on this.

******* playtsogo.co.za
Good day, On 6 February I was credited with a R5,750 pre-wager sportsbook bonus with a 4x wagering requirement, meaning a total wagering target of R23,000. I bet the R5 750 sportsbook bonus and ended with R9 750. I then bet the R9 750. I also checked my balances and saw that I had R428 in loyalty points which I then converted and played slots ending with R1 100.75. I then also bet the R1 100.75 in sportsbook. When I checked my balances later, I had R26 876 in Sportsbook and R7 159.75 in slots which was withdrawable. I withdrew R7 000. When I went back to Sportsbook, the R26 876 had disappeared. I then cancelled my withdrawal but the R26 876 was still gone. Tsogo blamed the bonus removal on my withdrawal. I was also informed that it was system-driven, yet, nothing was done to correct it. What does my slots balance have to do with the Sportsbook balance? I highly doubt that a withdrawal will be allowed from the sportsbook bonus when the wagering requirement was not yet completed, hence the separate balances and the withdrawable amount only being R7 159.75, the balance in my slots account. By removing the bonus balance, Tsogo has ensured that I could not meet the 4x requirement, which I undoubtedly would have done since that and what I had already bet was way more than the required R23 000. At this time, I still had open bets and when I checked later, I saw that I had R1 R 1 750. This was when my remaining open bets started being suspended and voided as well as me receiving “Insufficient Funds” messages when trying to place more bets. This continued for hours until my time requirement ran out. Who knows how much I could have won if I was allowed to bet? Upon analysing my betting history, I noticed that I had won another R4 675 with my own funds which was not allocated to my slots balance. I have lodged a complaint (2nd one) with WCGRB.

Playtsogo.co.za run **** promotions. And don't provide feedback...
I am highly disappointed. They ran a leaderboard competition last week called bit hitter leaderboard For the SA20 cricket competition. The leaderboard was never shown on the website once. I placed multiple cricket bets for this competition. When I contacted the support nobody knows anything about the promo. How do you run promos but the staff doesn't know about it. Eventually one of the Managers "Njabulo" gave me a call. She promised to follow up and then send me an email or call me. It has been 4 days now. No feedback nothing. No transparency
