I have spent thousands of dollars with this app on a monthly basis and have been emailing them with no response for over a week. They owe me chips and Ive paid them so much money for them to not respond and help me with this issue. I only get emails saying that VIP support will be with me within 24 hours and after that have gotten nothing. This is very frustrating and disappointing especially when this is their fault not mine, but Im the one paying for the mistake. I have every single receipt of the thousands of dollars Ive given to their app and expect some support from them when an issue arises. I do not feel Valued as a customer by **********************. I have done everything I can with trying to resolve the problem and had to go through BBB since BFC would not reach out and reply back to me. Please do right by the people who help support your app by taking care of their needs as well instead of just taking our money. It is very unfair of bfc to ignore usBusiness Response

I have been a club member for twelve years. I've paid more than $1,000 in dues and have purchased 110 game credits that were said to never expire. Last year, they hired a new boss....and the first thing he did was cut the game credits value in half and set a one year expiration on them. I obviously cannot use that many credits in a year. They continue to draft my bank account each month through paypal and have locked me out of my account so I can't do anything. I can't play any of the dozens of my purchased games....I can't log in to ask questions nor get help, and they require a credit card number to submit a complaint or question to try to get help. I pay through paypal, not credit card!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: this issue has nothing to do with you resetting my password and you know it. This is about you changing the terms of service after a decade of non-expiring game credits and credit value. You locked me out by adding the terms issue to the login. By me logging in, you state that we are accepting the new terms. I am not. You are holding $700 worth of my game credits and some three dozen purchased games hostage by demanding that I accept the new terms. I will not. I want a full refund of all unused game credits AT FULL VALUE and a refund of all purchased games that you refuse to allow me to play without accepting your new terms.
Sincerely,

We understand that ****************** has additional information regarding their concern. We are happy to help out further.
******************,
I did want to firstly address some misinformation from your original complaint that was missed here. The ********* Credits were not halved in value and a 1 year expiration was not placed on them. For every credit on an account, the Dollar amount equivalent of Points was issued. I'm not sure where you were seeing this information but please see the following help article for more information on Points:
********************************************************************************************************
In terms of the Terms of Service, we are unable to issue refunds for any purchases should you choose to not accept the new Terms of Service. As a courtesy for any trouble you may have experienced cancelling your membership during this time though, I have been able to cancel this so you won't be charged further.I have also issued you a refund for any charges that occurred after the update to our Terms of Service.
These refunds totaling $56.41 will be showing up in **** days.
I hope that this information helps.

Complaint: 19628269
I am rejecting this response because: the info I received was from your emails and announcements. They stated "the points would pay for a $2.99 game". They used to cover a $6.99 game, the exact value of the monthly membership. Was it simply poor/confusing writing or simply poor comprehension on my part? No idea. You won't allow me to log into my account to see. The second was the expiration time limit. I was told that all credits older than two years were to expire in one year. That's nearly nine years of credits that I can't possibly use. Was that another mistake on my part? Again, no idea. You won't let me log in to check the expiration dates on my credits. Strangely, the link you posted to the points page was edited four hours before you posted it here a few days ago. Why was that? Lastly, under what circumstances did you honestly think that expiring our game credits was a good idea? It doesn't make you a cent in profit....under the monthly club dues you already had our money and you knew that we planned to buy games from you in exchange. How exactly did you think that was going to be a good idea? ***** post I make here is costing you sales. ***** post I make on five different social media accounts is costing you sales and money. I was a twelve year club member....would probably have been for another twelve. How exactly do you think this whole debacle has benefited you and your company? How exactly would "YOU" resolve this if you were in my shoes? What would you do that you would consider fair?

The company has a weekly VIP program. You usually have to be a buyer of coins. Most players did not receive the Monday credit on 3/13/2023 as outlined in their rules. Emails to them and comments on ******** for many users have gone unanswered. Then on 3/14/2023 many users, including me, received this. The problem is, they are lying in their email. They never credited anything. I have sent emails and screenshots proving this and they still haven't responded. Apparently, they credited one of their games, Big Fish, but not both. I added a screenshot that shows 3/5/2023 was the last time I received a VIP credit. I also sent it to big fish and they have not responded. Their email - Hi there,Thank you for reaching out to Customer Support. It looks youre a part of the Exclusive Weekly VIP Credit program. As part of that program, were automatically providing a weekly comp. Because of that, were unable to provide complimentary chips, and unable to directly respond to emails about the odds in our games or emails about additional complimentary chips.That said, we can still help with any technical issues, and if your email is regarding a recent technical issue please reply directly to this email.Otherwise, we hope this helps to clarify things and that you have a lovely day!All the best,The Big Fish VIP Support Team We are committed to Responsible Play.

I belonged to the big fish game club for several years in which the monthly fee (of $6.99 I think) was withdrawn automatically from my bank account. During the pandemic the account was closed. I believe by BFG as I don't recall doing it. On 2/27/23 I checked my account and found that it was closed and I had ***** points which could be "redeemed" for $167.76 at check out. Upon contacting customer support I was told that they would only refund $51.87. That is unacceptable. I no longer have a need for the service. The pandemic caused a great hardship for me as I am well aware that I'm far from the only one. Because of my issues I have no need or use of the remaining ***** points. I want the money owed to me I am forwarding email supporting my claim. I hope it's not difficult to follow because they probably won't be in chronicle order (LOL)Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I was not aware of the information link as it applies to game points until this issue. I only became aware of the points I accumulated when checking my account. I believed that I had closed the account during Covid as I closed many that I couldnt use because of the quarantine. When it appeared that I had not and had accumulated ***** points which stated could be redeemed for $167.76 at check out I attempted to have that amount refunded back to me. I did not make up the way the points could be redeemed. It clearly states that under my account. I expect Big Fish to stand by what was written or implied. They did agree to refund $51.87 which I have yet to receive.

Ive attached screenshots to help resolve this complaint. Ive tried to get help numerous times from BFC VIP customer support with no success. On 2/28/2023 our club moved up to a new bracket Quartz I. However, on 3/7/2023 we were again in 1st place and should have moved up to Sapphire bracket but did not. The history for brackets doesnt even show 3/7/2023 results. There are many software glitches that are not addressed. Being disconnected and returned to main lobby while in a scatter game losing billions of fake coins I paid real money for and the spin button after hit causing the wheel to continuously spin until the are you still here? and then being kicked from the room because I CANNOT spin. Losing 50 massive chest after 500 spins at 1 billion coin bet because the meter wouldnt collect the spins as it should have. Kept showing empty no matter how many times I spun. Being home bound in a wheelchair from MS this is my only social contact with the outside world and this all started at the beginning of February, 2023 while I spent over $4,000 in real cash Ive never spent that much before to play. Not advancing my club disregarding your own game help rules, should entitle me to a full refund after which time I receive my refund, you will delete my account immediately to avoid more lost income. The tickets Ive filled out are marked closed without a solution and I am done with a game that is supposed to be fun causing financial hardship due to unfair practices. Thank you.Business Response

We understand that ******************** has contacted the BBB in regards to their club ranking and the technical issues with Big Fish Casino. We are happy to assist them with resolving this issue as quickly as possible.
********************,
As previously communicated with our Customer Support representatives, your club initially moved from Quartz I to Quartz II. Also, clubs below the top 14 ranks of their Bracket at the end of a Club Tournament will be moved down a Bracket, allowing them to compete with Clubs more similar to their own, for a chance at higher ranks.
Regarding your refund request, per our Terms of Use, we are unable to issue refunds for in-game virtual currency once it has been used, and you have our deepest apologies for the inconvenience this may cause. For more information about this, I would recommend checking out the Virtual Items section of our Big Fish Terms of Use.

Hello ********************!
Thank you for your response and we apologize for any possible miscommunication in our previous correspondence.
I would like to cover all concerns you have mentioned and to start with, I would like to admit that one of my colleagues mentioned the following on March 8, 03:00 AM PST:
'Clubs in the top 3 ranks of their Bracket at the end of a Club Tournament will be moved up to the next Bracket, for a chance at even better prizes.
Your club has been moved to Quartz I from Quartz II - you placed 1st from Quartz II. Back before, your performance from Novice matches the scores of Quartz II thus you were moved to the said bracket. Currently, your previous performance matches the Quartz I thus you were moved to the high bracket.'
In case some of your tickets were closed without a response, I will kindly ask you to provide me with the ticket numbers, which you should have received as an automated response and I will be able to clarify whether we have received them and why they might have been closed without response.
We can see you have recently started using the most recent iOS version, which may improve your device performance and prevent multiple technical issues. However, in case you still encounter an issue with the game, please reach out to our Customer Support Team and include the date and exact time when the issue occurred and we will do our best to assist as much as we can.
Thank you for your understanding and have a wonderful day!Customer Answer

I have been playing Big Fish Casino for a long time now and was finally able to work my account up to around 200 million chips. Yesterday morning (3/3/23), I got on the app to collect my daily bonuses and got off. When I got on later that evening, I was completely logged out of my account, which has never happened before, AND I was down about a 180 million chips when I had not been on the game all day. I believe my account got hacked and I am looking for any resolution possible. It took me a long time to get up that high so believe me when I say that I was upset all of my progress had just vanished.Business Response

Looking through your gameplay history, we can confirm that on 2023-03-03 at 11:04:15 PST you indeed had *********** virtual chips on your balance. Having analyzed our system logs, we could verify that all of your virtual chips were lost during standard gameplay (PST):
2023-03-03 11:15:36: *********** (Twilight Fortunes slot)
2023-03-03 15:16:39: ********** (Twilight Fortunes slot)
2023-03-03 15:19:57: -4,608,000 (Big Fortune Valley Double Up slot)
2023-03-03 20:00:15: *********** (Mystic Wings slot)
This is not a full breakdown of your gameplay and a lot of other virtual slots have been played starting from 2023-03-03 11:04:15 PST until 2023-03-05 19:51:54 PST, where you left with ********** virtual chips.
Apart from that, we can clearly see that your account is being played on 1 device only - **********, thus I would highly recommend making sure that you do not share your iCloud (Apple ID) with anyone else and that your device is protected with a password to prevent this from happening in the future.
We hope that we managed to help you with your concern.
