Jackpot Win being withheld
I was contacted by Costa after my recent review and supposed everything was sorted. They sent me a message that some money was going into my account not the amount I won but some money. I then email and asked about the rest as my account is not blocked, they then sent me a message and email telling me my whole amount would be going in. I was pleased at first until later in the evening when I got an email of Costa again. I was told my account was blocked and that the money would not be issued like they had stated even though the slot I had won it on has no doubt sent it to them and I had had conformation it was going in. They accused my account of having third party access which is no doubt why they were so curious about my daughter. I joined Costa bingo before my daughter was eighteen and had a bank card, the site had previously asked who she was and why she transfers to me. I explained that since I had a heart attack in September she had been moving my money out on a Wednesday when I’m paid so I pay my bills before putting money on bingo. She is the only payee I have, every penny I put onto Costa has always been mine and I will be proving it in court. From what they are saying any money that is in your bank from another person is not your own money, even if it is. They preach stay safe in gambling but had no problem with me putting £100 on before I won this, I ask my daughter to move my money to help me control my gambling. Hopefully this matter will be resolved though a solicitor and I can have some peace with my health, as for Costa bingo I sent them an email yesterday about this and they have not replied. I asked if they were in the habit of lying considering they told me they had sent the money and had not done that at all.
