The player from Thuringia had deposited 40€ in XRP. The transaction had been confirmed but the amount had not been credited to the player's account. The casino's representative explained that the player had not input the required destination tag for the Ripple (XRP) transaction, which led to the funds being lost. Despite our efforts to mediate, the casino and its payment processor insisted that the funds were irrecoverable. The casino had declined our suggestion to credit the player's account as a goodwill gesture, citing previous free bonuses claimed by the player. The complaint was closed due to a lack of further resolution options.
You can read here more about the destination tag used for Ripple transactions: https://xrpl.org/docs/concepts/transactions/source-and-destination-tags .
Since you haven't input the destination tag that was generated for your deposit, the funds haven't reached us and therefore can't be credited to your casino account.
"For an XRP Ledger address that may receive payments intended for several customer accounts, receiving a payment
without a destination tag can be a problem: it is not immediately obvious which customer to credit, which can require a manual intervention and a discussion with the sender to figure out who was the intended recipient."
To reduce cases like this, you can
enable the RequireDest setting
That way, if a user forgets to include a destination tag in a payment, the XRP Ledger rejects their payment instead of giving you money you don't know what to do with. The user can then send the payment again, using the tag as they should have.
Dear Nadia,
Could you please determine with your payment provider if the money was returned to the player's wallet?
When using cryptocurrencies, be it for deposits or withdrawals, you will need to familiarise yourself first with the way each specific coin works.
In the case of the cryptocurrency you have chosen to use - Ripple (XRP), unlike other coins, payments are often sent to a wallet address that can be shared by multiple entities. This is why for this coin you are required to also specify a destination tag (sometimes simply referred to as "tag") so that the payment can be attributed correctly to the merchant and to your account. If this tag isn't specified or if you input an incorrect one the funds will be lost.
Once you initiate a deposit in our casino, choosing Ripple (XRP), you are shown a page where you get the wallet address and the generated tag that you need to specify for the payment. This tag is uniquely generated for each transaction. See attached screenshot.
Since you haven't specified the tag for the payment you made, the funds never reached us and they are considered lost.
To put it in simple terms, it is like you sent a payment order to a bank - without specifying the beneficiary account. The bank simply will have no way of knowing who the funds belong to or where they should be attributed.
We find it hard to believe that a missing destination tag should result in funds being lost forever, based on the publicly declared information I referred to in my previous post.
Have you consulted your payment processor regarding the issue and tried to recover funds based on confirmations provided by the player?
Could you please provide more substantial evidence the funds are irrecoverable in this situation?
As you haven't specified the required tag for the payment, those funds will never reach our casino and therefore we can't credit them to your casino account.
In the future please make sure to input all the details required, depending on the coin you choose for deposit.
Since the player hasn't made any other deposits in our casino and has already claimed free bonuses totaling over EUR 20, we won't be able to extend another gesture of goodwill and credit this amount.
In the end these are funds which haven't reached us.
Uh, hello? I didn't get €20 for free, always stick to the truth. I will give a corresponding review for this "great" casino
Ähhh hallo? Ich habe keine 20€ gratis erhalten, immer schön bei der Wahrheit bleiben. Eine entsprechende Bewertung für dieses "tolle" casino werde ich noch abgeben
After taking into account the evidence presented, unfortunately, the payment processor doesn't seem interested in recovering the transaction, which we can't blame the casino for.
I hope similar issues will avoid you in the future.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be closed. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into issues with any online casino in the future.
