Have any one had experiences with banned bank/providers because of gambling?

[Agbamoni]

I find this very frustrating when i see people complain about their funding bank/provider account being banned because of gambling related activities. My younger just called me and told me his raven account was banned and he has been using it to deposit dollars in his gambling platform and also paying for subscriptions online. I want to get this clear.

Is it because of the gambling activities that got his account banned or it is because of the legitimacy of the funds that raven are more concerned about?

Is there any gambling platform that needs to be avoided?

Since i woke up we've been trying to contact their support for complaint and no response yet. Is there anyone with similar experience?

Are you talking about this Raven https://getravenbank.com/ ?

I look at their terms and conditions but it's not specifically mentioned that account will be banned if used in gambling. It did say this "we reserve the right to block and/or restrict your Raven Account on suspicion of illegal/fraudulent activities" so I checked the gambling situation in Nigeria. It seems only lottery, land-based casino gaming, and sports betting are allowed. Online games other than slots are deemed illegal. He must have deposited to an unregistered or online casino.

The customer care of the banking service provider should have told him the reason why his account was banned. Since you have contacted the support group I suggest you should wait patiently for their response. But the usual reason for this kind of action is if the bank suspects that the customer is using the account for any illegal activities. Maybe they suspect that he is using it for money laundering or to clean up illegally acquired funds. Another reason might be because he has gone contrary to the provision of the terms of service.

I personally do not have any experience getting banned because I only used e-wallet that supports the gambling platform other than that could be risky. But I think the bank will send some notice for you to know what had happened on your account and what you should do to fix it or if not, your brother had to contact them or visit any branch to fix the issue. I think banks has it on their terms about "do's and don'ts" specifically using accounts on a gambling platform.

[Natalim]

Not yet on bank but on local exchange, it was already banned that's why I'm already using now the binance p2p. As per TOS on our local exchange, funds coming from and going to gambling platform is prohibited, but I never mine it, I just continue using it until one day I was surprise my account was already banned.

sometimes, even if an online platform allows our transactions despite it's already against the TOS, that doesn't mean they'll allow it forever. So we should be aware of the risk and be ready to accept once our funds are frozen.

[Ruttoshi]

He must have gone against either the bank or casino ToS, and this is why one must be careful with everything that involved money online so that you don't get deprived of your funds on these centralized platform.

The only thing I know that they will tell him was that he has used his account for illegal/fraudulent activities because that is what will make them ban your account with every right. since you said that you have contacted the customer care of the casino, you should give them more time for them to respond to you. Tell your younger one to also go to his bank and lay the complain so that they will let him know why it happened like that.

If in your country gambling is strictly prohibited, why should your little brother use a local bank account and not use crypto which is much safer in my opinion than using a bank account, in my country gambling is very illegal so I never try to gamble with my bank account because I'm worried about what what happened to your sister also happened to me, when the government regulates a law prohibiting gambling, of course they will be able to freeze our bank accounts or block them.

I can't give any advice because we also need to know about the laws in your country because it is impossible for the bank to just block your sister's bank account if there are no legal problems or actions that are considered illegal so that happens to your sister. I think he should go to the bank to get a direct explanation to avoid communication errors. 

[Gozie51]

No experience yet and I won't have to use a local bank account to transact onward to gambling account, it should already look cumbersome as it is involving third party. I would rather use crypto and directly sent to a gambling account from wallet.

However, the simplest reason may be that the account has been flagged for either illegal financial transaction only for you guys to provide that otherwise. The reason that an account will be banned is if you have to go against the ToS and mostly an account suspected for fraud. So you have to prove your innocence on that, hopefully your brother is the only one making use of the account because sometimes when transactions are being done by intermediaries, they can be reported.

Your brother/sister should've gotten some reason or something for why their account was banned. They just don't willy nilly ban an account without any reason or forewarning. Personally I think it's along the reasons of VPN or something really.

On a side note I'd like to ask is the legitimacy of your funds something illegal or something? Otherwise, why would you even include it as a reason for them to be concerned about? I highly doubt your funds being used in gambling is a reason, and unless your funds are indeed from somewhere illegitimate, then I don't think those are reasons you should particularly be concerned about.

[BABY SHOES]

Never experienced this kind of thing let alone gambling using a bank to deposit there, I prefer crypto much safer than using conventional banks.

Is gambling banned in your country? See the casino tosses that are played how the conditions are required if your sister bank account is blocked then there may be illegal funds that are suspected so the bank/gambler blocked it.

I don't know what casino site you are playing, but hope to get a response sooner and you will know the real problem.

If you have been in crypto casinos for a long time why not suggest to these casinos instead of using banks for deposits as a third party?

Does your country prohibit gambling activities? I come from a country where gambling is prohibited but I used to make deposits using my bank account and never had a problem with it. However, I saw the news in my country that the government is planning to block bank accounts suspected of being used for gambling activities.

If you come from a country that prohibits gambling then the reason why your little brother's account was blocked could be because of gambling activities, but if your country legalizes gambling then I'm sure that's not the reason.

[danherbias07]

The same with others I have not experienced this kind of tragedy yet as I have never used a bank account or anything that is controlled by the government for my gambling habits. Sorry for your brother's loss of account. Are there funds left there before they banned him? Or did he make sure that he depleted all the savings before that happened? Did the bank try to contact you first before the ban?

About your questions.
Try to read the terms and agreements first. Some banks offer services to deposit in gambling but some don't which means your account is blocked if they prove you are doing it.
It should be written there but if not, try to contact them first before making an account with them. I suggest using digital wallets instead, this industry is more open to deposits and withdrawals on gambling platforms because they are not listed as banks. Most of the money there comes in and out and some digital wallets are also promoting gambling games so do check them out and don't forget to read the terms again. It's better to be sure first.

[ryzaadit]

I think these is depends on the policy of your bank & laws on your country.

Could be, the casino you're using get seized and the police get every data customer. Theck track the transaction and leading to your account + they can requested the bank for blocking any bank with transaction flow from the casino.

How about asking on the bank first ? what the reason behind the block. Since you already asking, maybe wait 1-7 days.

[Questat]

I haven't experience this as all my bank accounts are not enrolled online. I mean, I can view it online but I cannot transact like fund transfer, so I can say it's say for me being a person who constantly gamble. Nowadays, it's easier to use online wallets, so it's not a problem anymore to gamble online if the online wallet we are using is supported by the gambling site.

I have this online wallet which are regulated by the central bank, the same agency that are regulating the banks, I'm using it for online gambling and until now it's still active, so I have no problem about getting banned or anything related.

The best answer should come from the bank provider and ask them specifically what's the caused of the ban could be one of the reasons you mentioned or could be both, they should state right away when they stated gambling related activities because the subject is broad liked you mentioned.
Here in our country some banks are strict to linking your account on gambling platform but everything is clearly stated on their terms and if a bank allowed transaction to gambling platform they usually mentioned that the platform should be compliant I only used bank transfer once but I prefer Cryptocurrency deposit more convenience and more private, so I advice you to urge your younger brother to use Cryptocurrency.

I think you're brother most have gone against their rules, maybe because of the gambling activity that the account has been involved in, they're either suspected it to be fraudulent, which your brother needs to let them know, that's if he gets across to the customer service.
But at least they are supposed to do their own due diligence before taking such action on the account, or getting across to the customer to ask some questions as to whatever they suspect before going on to ban the account. I will advise to your brother should continue in trying to reach their customer service, they have a lot of explanation to make.

[acroman08]

I have not experienced it but here in the Philippines we have an exchange site called coins.ph and in their terms and conditions that they implemented years ago, it is not allowed to send or receive funds to or from a gambling site.

as other members have already mentioned the most possible reason why the accounts were banned is due to breaking one of their rules. if you don't mind, would you update us when the getravenbank.com customer support replies to you and gives the reason as to why the account was closed?

[uneng]

No, I haven't as I'm used to crypto gambling platforms solely. And that is why other gamblers should also seek for crypto casinos to play. It's very annoying to have issues with banks and local regulators due to gambling. It consumes a lot of time, energy and potentially money from the person. The risk of playing at a dollar or local currency casino, when the activity isn't allowed in your jurisdiction, just doesn't worth the mental exhaustion you may suffer later, and sometimes to not make any profit at all.

Gambling has to be an entertaining activity which will bring pleasure and stress relief for the gambler. However, if you have your banking account blocked and money seized, the effect will be completely the opposite. It's like travelling during the Holidays to a precarious and miserable region: instead of relaxing and having fun, which are the main goals of a tourist on Holidays, you are going to have a lot of headaches, frustrations and negative memories once you come back home. The same way a tourist has to choose wisely where to travel, a gambler has to choose wisely in which platforms he is going to place his bets, premeditating the possible outcomes* of his decision.

*not outcomes of games' results, but outcomes of transactions: deposits, withdrawals; plus gambling status on his region, and potential consequences of receiving a transaction from a casino platform if tracked by local regulators.

[moneystery]

that's why it's necessary to check whether gambling is allowed in your country or not. or how is the license your gambling platform, whether it is legal or not, because banks are very sensitive to all transactions carried out by their customers. they are concerned that the money transacted by their customers comes from illegal activities which are not in accordance with bank/state regulations which could threaten their operations.

and since raven is a digital bank, it seems they are more sensitive to matters related to gambling and activities that do not comply with their regulations that could jeopardize their license. and unfortunately, when your account is banned/blocked you can't access your money until the problem is resolved. therefore, you need to explain this problem until it is resolved to the bank.

[topbitcoin]

I've never had a problem like that. It's just that when I try to make a deposit I always get a warning from the bank. This can happen because gambling admins carry out transactions very frequently so that their activities are suspected by the bank. But I also welcome the warning, because considering that currently there is a lot of fraud in online gambling.

And currently there are several countries that consider online gambling activities to be detrimental to society. Especially illegal gambling sites. So that the government, through the ministry responsible for this matter, carries out a clean sweep and also blocks accounts involved in online gambling activities.
And I think this is a good rule, so that illegal gambling activities can be limited. And in several related countries this rule has been implemented. However, in my opinion, before this rule is actually implemented in every bank, there must be a detailed explanation of the rule first, so that the bank can take appropriate action.
