A Casino incorrectly deposited a large amount of money to my bank account

It is only my personal opinion based on my experience as accountant and fiscal advisor.

Save the proofs that you tried to transfer back the money without success and that was not your fault.

Declare in your yearly Mexican income returns the earnings (as per Mexican regulations)

If you get an inspection or something from someone, just tell the truth.

And of course, put the cash on a deposit just in case you have to reimburse it in the future.

How much to wait until you consider the cash as yours? That is the big question. But with my meassures you assure yourself that you will be in total compliance.

I dont have evidence of me trying to return the money. I didnt knew this was going to happen and also never imagined, so i didnt record it or something like that. The question you post its my dillemma. Will the money be in my bank account forever if they never asked for it? will i be in trouble if i spend it? am i in trouble right now?

Hmmm...this really is a tough one. I personally can't see how you could be in trouble now I mean you really haven't done anything wrong.

 

Have you managed to get in touch with the licensing jurisdiction yet?

My Five Cents Worth : Ok so they messed up and paid you the money ...and you went out of your way to return it and its going on 2 months ...I'm assuming over the course of this

time you would have "expenses" associated with trying to rectify their obvious ongoing blundering ...If i were them in the face of this ongoing publicity I would sweep the matter under the

carpet and let you keep the winnings ..the ongoing in incompetence sends bad publicity signals.

I actually agree with you! And thanks for sharing your opinion.

 

Surely any casino that incorrectly pays this sum of money to someone will be trying to rectify the situation as soon as they notice it! Not leave it 2 months and still not make any attempt to get it back!

Keep the money, they cannot do anything at all even if they wanted to. They have to take you to court and prove beyond all doubt that you KNEW that this money was not yours to keep. And courts cost money and i doubt they will do that fore a mere 10K. 

 

Also the fact that you tried to give back the money to them but have not been able to would prove that you atleast made an effort. Maybe they havent even noticed.

 

I had a simular situation happen to me but for a less amount of 1700NOK(170 euros)

 

I ordered something online trough a huge scandinavian online vendor. I got an electronical invoice by mail from a third party to pay the goods, this arrived prior to me getting the package. So when i recieved the package i had already paid fore it.

 

But they sent me something totally different from what i ordered and there was another invoice fore the goods in the package.. After allot of back and forth sending it in return and reaciving the good i originally shoud have gotten they managed to send me yet another invoice of 170 euros.

 

I was told to contact the third party billing company to delete these two invoices. After they completley messed up they deleted ALL the invoices even the one i had paid and was supposed to pay. I tried telling them 3 times you are not supposed to refund these 170 euros, because i am supposed to pay them fore the goods i recived. They still insisted that the vendor had told them to return the money to me. I just said ***** it and sent them my bank account number.

 

Story ended with me getting the stuff i ordered fore free. Never heard anything more from them.

 

Most likley the same situation here... They have no clue, the money is lost in the system.

Hmm, you know what? I just came to a great idea... 

 

Why don't use our complaints service and submit a complaint against that casino? Man, that would be the case of the year, I bet on it! :D
