Case summary

The player from Portugal had a pending withdrawal that remained unresolved for over 24 hours, and after approval, she received a message stating that the bank declined the transaction. Despite using a verified account and attempting a bank transfer via SEPA, the player was concerned about the casino's transparency and how her funds were being withheld. We explained that withdrawals could take several days or even weeks and might be delayed by KYC checks or a high volume of requests, so she was asked to wait up to 14 days after requesting the withdrawal. The complaint was then marked as resolved after she confirmed that the winnings had been received.

Good morning. I tried to request a withdrawal from this casino, and it remained pending for more than 24 hours. However, just one minute after they approved the withdrawal, they said the bank had declined it. Now, I requested a bank transfer—which, in Portugal, is a SEPA transfer. What surprises me is that just one minute after the withdrawal was approved, they sent a message saying the funds were returned to my account because the bank had declined the transaction. The transfer takes days; it’s impossible for the bank to have rejected anything, especially since it’s Revolut (an international bank). My account is verified, and the money is legitimate. Customer support told me to try another method! I tried using the Neteller e-wallet. Now I’m curious to see what excuse they’ll come up with for this undue withholding of funds. Be careful when playing at this casino—it might work for some, but for others, the lack of transparency and bad faith will be the norm.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests. That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with the casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint. If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings within 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, please let us know, and we will intervene and try to help you.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Veronika

Yes, it’s all taken care of now. I went through a more thorough verification process, and it took a few days, but they transferred my money. They handled it correctly. It’s reliable. Thank you in advance for being willing to help me! Thank you, and best regards
