Misled me by promising a server within 3 days, delivered it only 5 days after payment, ignored support requests, and still haven’t refunded me
My experience with PLAY2GO was so terrible that I would think very carefully before trusting this company with my money or an important server.
I paid for a dedicated server, but it was provided only 5 days after payment, even though their website states a maximum of 3 days. In doing so, they blatantly violated their own deadlines and terms.
While the server had still not been delivered, I repeatedly contacted support, asked specific questions, and requested a refund. Some of my questions were simply ignored, just like my refund request.
Instead of responding properly, acknowledging the violation, and returning my money, PLAY2GO simply activated the server 5 days later and started replying along the lines of: “As we can see, your service is working.” It felt as if they had decided to pretend that my earlier refund request had never existed.
According to their own terms published on their website — terms which, in my experience, they do not actually follow — I am entitled to a refund when they fail to meet their own delivery deadlines.
Then things became even more revealing.
When I started referring to their own terms, they began citing completely different provisions that did not correspond to my situation. I asked direct questions and once again did not receive direct answers.
After many days, for some reason they told me to send my request by email. I did. Once again, I was ignored for a long time. I followed up. Still no proper resolution and no refund.
After further attempts to get an answer, they told me on Telegram: “Create a ticket — we’ll cancel it,” even though I had already opened a refund ticket before they ever provided the server.
So I created another ticket.
Then they suddenly demanded proof of payment. I provided it.
After that, yet another new requirement appeared: now I was told that I had to send an original physical paper letter to Dubai, and only after they received it would they supposedly begin the refund process.
PLAY2GO’s own administration acknowledged that the server was delivered late, and their own terms provide for refunds in cases where a dedicated server is delivered after the stated deadline.
And yet, they still have not refunded my money.
