  My family of 4 stayed at the Mohegan Sun resort in ** for a volleyball tournament. On the last night of our stay, we were called by a manager telling us that their smoke detector had detected that we will smoking in our room. We were absolutely not smoking and had 2 kids in the room. We asked management to come upstairs and test with another sensor. They refused and said that their sensor is 100% accurate and we were being charged $500. We went downstairs to speak with management that night and the following day, again asking to test for smoke in our room. They refused and said that it's their right to charge us. We have never had this happen to us at any hotel before and would like to have the $500 charged to us credited back to us.

  I am absolutely disgusted at the handling of my last and final stay at Mohegan Sun. Iam on leave from the military so my wife and I thought it would be a nice trip as we’ve done so in years prior. Check in went great, no issues there. We turned in early around 9. While we were getting ready for bed we immediately noticed the dirtiness of the room as the phone cradle had dried up food in it, the bed was shorted pillows, and above the bed lights weren’t working. We told the manager of house keeping at checkout which she apologized and even offered a free stay (we’ve stayed at Mohegan numerous times in the past never complained once) A few days later we were charged 500 dollars for a smoking fee. No one called us, we had to call them. We were told our room had heavy smoke, my wife nor I smoke!!!! We spoke to the hotel manager who hung up on us and said we smoked. We called back and spoke to the hotel director to whom we explained we requested a non smoking room due my medical condition and how it’s impossible for me to even be around smoke due to my left lung and can provide documentation she said it’s not necessary and dismissed us left and right condescendingly. I said check security footage the whole day will show we never smoked anywhere on property becuase we’re not smokers!!! She said her team told her we smoked so she’s not removing the charge?! I said please provide one bit of tangible proof we smoked and she couldn’t! I explained how I will be going to the media about this as it’s disgusting to take advantage of a 17 year active duty serviceman and his wife while blatantly lying for reprisal of someone who complained about the cleanliness of the room.

  Thank you for forwarding Mr. ******** correspondence. Mohegan Sun has installed FreshAir devices in the Earth Hotel tower which, via Wi-Fi, will communicate to the front desk and housekeeping whenever a guest smokes in the room. Please note: the devices will only alert us when cigarette or marijuana smoke is detected, not from vaping, candles, incense, or steam from the shower, etc. Before utilizing these devices in the rooms, the only evidence we had of a guest smoking in the room was if housekeeping noticed it in the room and we had to take the room out of service. Unfortunately, it was easy for the guests to dispute these charges, however with these devices and the scientific nature of how they detect smoking, we can definitively say that the guest has smoked, and the charge will stand.
  
  Unfortunately, Mr. & Mrs. ****** did encounter cleanliness issues with their hotel room during their stay. We appreciated them advising our staff upon check out so we were able to immediately apologize and provide compensation for our service shortcomings on their visit. However at no time during the conversation with the Front Desk or the Housekeeping Manger about their concerns, was there any mention of the smell of smoke in the room.  As the room came up with a smoking alert, it was inspected after check out, and was verified to have a strong odor of smoke.  As the Earth Tower is a nonsmoking Hotel the room was subsequently taken off market.
  
  For obvious reasons we do not  have cameras in our rooms which is why we installed a system which would scientifically be able to identify when smoking is taking place in a room. The system does generate a report which can be sent to the guest and provides the time of the occurrence. When trying to explain this, the Assistant Manager was not allowed to speak and was verbally abused on the call.  Unable to engage in a productive conversation or in any way deescalate the situation, the guests were advise the charge would stand and their only recourse would be to dispute the charge with their credit card company; and the call would now be terminated. 
  
  It is our desire to provide our guests with a clean and comfortable room, which is why we appreciated the ******** bringing their experience to our attention, so the issues they discovered could be properly addressed and corrected. It is the same desire that made us install state of the art technology to ensure our nonsmoking rooms would not be compromised. In no other way are these two separate circumstances related.

  I had signed up utilizing a bonus that required me to bet 5000 in order to be able to cash out. Starting at 500 I had reached a balance of 1283. I had checked if I could cash out and it said I only played a total of 2% toward my goal. I continued playing and looked again and it said I played 7% around the 900 mark. From the screen shots you can see that I exceeded the threshold in bets but in the end was only show to have played 547 of the total 5000. To resolve this I propose that the amount be refunded to me from when I reached the threshold to satisfy the bonus.

  Thank you for forwarding the comments received from ******* ****** regarding his online gaming. We have confirmed Mr. ****** has an account with ******** However, his account is based in ********, so not associated with Mohegan Sun, nor does he have any casino play on it.  We have also confirmed that ******* does not offer any sign-up promotions that require multiple playthrough requirements. We did not receive the attachments Mr. ****** referenced in his correspondence, so we are wondering if the complaint might be with a different brand other than *******?

  On approximately 3/21/2023 at 4:00 a.m., I was playing Mohegan Sun Online **** Games. While playing the "******* ***" game, I won the bonus round. Before the bonus game finished, I was disconnected from their server. I logged in again and tried to get back into the game to finish my bonus round and the game would not load. When I was knocked off the server, my balance was $74.00 + 8-9 free games left to play. The only way to contact technical assistance was via chat. I first chatted with Adam, who apparently filed a ticket (they do not provide any sort of reference number or ticket number) with the game provider. I checked the website daily, resetting my router, turning my phone off and on, etc. I am still UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE '******* ***' game specifically. But I can access all other **** games. And my balance reads '0.' After checking the website daily after checking, I have been told that they are still waiting on the game provider????????? With technicality the way it is today, I am thoroughly frustrated. Over a week for a CASINO to fix a game, especially if it holding customer's cash. Today, I am being told the same thing. I am hoping with your assistance, I can retrieve my winnings. The following attachment shows my latest response. I didn't take previous screenshots because I trusted this company. Their records should show my game play on March 21 at 4 a.m. in the morning on the ******* *** game and how I was knocked off their server with multiple attemps to get back into the game and chat records daily.

  Thank you for reaching out regarding the issues encountered while playing the ******* *** **** Game. After reaching out to the ******* Customer Service Team, our Mohegan Sun Team has been advised the issue is still being addressed. Currently they are still waiting on the game provider to get the game unstuck. ******* will follow up with the Ms. ******** as soon as the provider gets back to them. Unfortunately, at this time nothing can be done regarding the winnings until the game provider advises ******* of the amount she is owed.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: Thank you for making me aware that ******* is to blame and not Mohegan Sun!  I apologize for filing this complaint.  If the fault lies with *******, I will start a complaint with their business instead.

  I was suddenly able to get back into the ******* *** **** game today after 2 weeks and 2 days; however, it did not pick where it knocked me off the server 16 days ago.  The balance read zero.  It also did not give me the 9 free games that I had left to play.  My total winnings when I was knocked off the server was  approximately $74+ dollars.
  

  nevertheless, I feel unappreciated as a customer as I have been a momentum member for years.  Why can’t the business persist in trying to reach *******?

  
  Sincerely,

  Thank you for forwarding the complaint submitted by ***** Franklin.  After reviewing Ms. ********’s ******** account, it appears she has been playing on the MoheganSunCasino app, powered by ******* since this online option became available in April 2022.  All cash bets and withdrawals are made directly with ******* through the guest’s ******* account. Although both parties work together, neither Mohegan Sun nor ******* have access to the other’s guests’ accounts. 
  
  We have reached out to ******* Customer Service, asking them to review the complaint and reach out to Ms. ********. We monitor the situation with ******* to ensure it is resolved.

  Thank you for forwarding the complaint submitted by ***** ******** regarding a Win/Loss statement from our business partner *******. Ms. ******** did reach out to us directly via email and we immediately forwarded her inquiry to ******* to address.  Unfortunately, ******* can only provide an activity statement which is different to what Ms. ******** is use to receiving from the casino.  However, ******* has assured us, she can get all the information required on their statement and sent an email to Ms. ******** on September 19th explaining how she can get the information she was looking for from the activity statement. We now consider this matter to be closed.

  We reviewed your reservation dated 4/22/22 – 4/29/22 and determined that you were charged the amount you were quoted in your confirmation. Any other amounts you see on your bank statement are pre-authorizations and are not settled amounts. This is normal practice at the hotel. These pre-authorizations were released when you checked out on 4/29/22. The effective date of the release is determined by your bank and can take up to 7 to 10 business days or longer depending on the type of card. We have also reached out to our Accounting Department and confirmed that the releases were processed normally. Please reach out to your bank for the status of the releases. If you have any questions or concerns, you may call our Billing line at ************.

  Dear Mr. ******,
  
  Thank you for taking your time to let us know about your recent online gaming experience in ************.  Guest feedback is the greatest give a business can receive and yours is no exception.  Legislation regarding sports betting varies by state, for this reason our online gaming is operated by a third party, so we had to reach out to ****** ************ for assistance with your issue.  It is our understanding the ****** Customer Support Team had responded to your inquiry with the following information:
  
  After careful review of your ****** account, we noticed that the last deposit bonus you had claimed (on 3/24/22) was a 'Thursday Reload' deposit bonus which is advertised for 10x wagering on Casino or 20x wagering on Sports:  https://pa.******.com/casino-deposit-reload  We understand that you did not intend to claim this bonus, but it does appear that it was selected on 3/24/22 when your deposit was funded to your balance. 
   
  As stated in the promotions Terms and Conditions, it advises that, "In order to be eligible to withdraw the bonus funds and any winnings generated from wagers made with the bonus funds, players must wager their deposit and bonus amount (“Wagering Requirement”) 10X on all casino games or 20X on the sportsbook market. Making a withdrawal with any funds locked to a bonus or cancelling the bonus itself, prior to satisfying wagering requirements will result in the bonus funds and any bonus winnings being forfeited." 
   
  Unfortunately, since the active bonus was forfeited prior to the completion of the wagering requirements, any of the attached funds were also let go of when you agreed to the forfeit. 
  We are sorry, but Mohegan Sun in *********** has no jurisdiction over the terms and conditions for sports betting promotions run by ****** ************; so we are unable to provide any refund or make any changes to your ****** account. Should you have the opportunity, we hope someday to welcome you to Mohegan Sun ***********.

   

  Thank you,

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: it needs to be filed with ****** of ************ if their parent corporation is denying any responsibility for the deceitful practice which swindled $500 from me. I do not understand how they can get away with doing this to their customers.   If you need me to file another complaint against  ****** , please advise. But if ****** customer service was able to respond to my individual complaint, it would probably be frivolous to file another one.   They are a disgraceful, corrupt business to practice scams like this!!!!

  I was playing on this companies online casino, as I have been doing for years. On February 4, 2022 I entered a bonus round and my game suddenly froze. Technical support was contacted and tried to troubleshoot the issue but they were unable to help me. They advised me they had to reach out to the gaming provider to resolve the issue. Here I am, six weeks later, and the issue is still unresolved despite multiple attempts at contacting technical support. The agents are blaming a third-party and don’t seem to care (and are honestly quite rude) that it has been over 6 weeks. I asked for the name of the third party and they refuse to share the information.
