Case summary
2 months ago
The player from Australia faced ongoing issues with withdrawing money from the casino, having lodged eight withdrawal attempts over three weeks. Despite the casino initially blaming the player and the bank, they later acknowledged that the issue was on their end but continued to cancel withdrawals and provide repeated responses. The player struggled to get replies to emails and could only connect through live chat using a false email address. The Complaints Team attempted to engage the casino for resolution but was unsuccessful due to the casino's lack of cooperation and absence of a valid license. Consequently, the complaint was marked as 'unresolved'. After further communication, the casino reopened the complaint and confirmed that the player's withdrawal had been paid out. The player was asked to confirm but as they have not responded we have rejected the complaint.

I lodged 8 withdrawal attempts now they cancelled my withdrawal 7 times. At first tried saying it was me. Then blamed my bank to which my bank said no contact. Then they admitted it's on there end. On 3rd attempt and now I get the same script on repeat.
They no longer even reply to emails my only form of contact is the live if I connect via a false email address.

This is their verification page this is my 1st withdrawal through them.
Unfortunately it was a friend who sent the link to try them. It's unfortunate as he finally won a week after I did. Also experienced the same turn of fate.
Im using Mastercard to withdrawal as it's the only available option to me without setting up an account elsewhere. Mifinity or crypto. I avoid crypto because of a long and slightly annoying turn of events.
My friend is using Visa they also cancelled him with the same lines was told. he switched to mifinity but only to revieve the same outcome.
So I'm hesitant in trying that method plus I noticed I would lose 6% on transfer fee from mifinity to my bank even if successful.
I rather not take another L because they cannot uphold and provide hr service they themselves offer.
They have suggested in live chat to switch to bank transfer which I would happily do except that they don't extend that option to me. Which is odd, because it's offered everywhere else. Thatv pic is also in the reply
I have had issues with other casino's. But usually all business is sorted then each party goes there way.
but this is like dealing with a spoiled child.Which only result in a poor outcome for the child. Long term
my circle of friends we all like to press when chewing the fat catching up approximately 25 potential customers all whom like gamble an average of around $200-$300 per week usually lost, all over a measly $95, the treatment has been very condescending. Most other usually extend an apology and a small bonus for the trouble fs or somthing
Thank you for your time and for any assistance you might be able to extend
regardless the outcome thank you for the service you provide.
Sincerely
Brian

Approximately 11:02pm I logged onto fat pirate to see if anything happened. Be some timely luck I witnessed and screenshot the withdrawal change to approved then just thinking with hope it might actually happen. Fat pirate might do the right thing.
Wishful thinking, instead cancelled again I immediately rushed to live chat.
Under the premise of they just approved no need go through that process again for a 9th times considering it the same money processed 8 times already apparently.
Rather than the process of events - Review then Approve followed by Fail then ignore and restart.
i proposed rather than ignore and restart, how retry and complete. I was essentially dismissed ignore and asked again to restart.
I asked if the transaction failed as they say, provide me with the transaction record if the failed attempt. Then I can present that to my bank in rebuttal to my bank saying "no attempt or communication to the amount of $95 Aud has been recieved". I have triple checked my details with fat pirate six of the 9 attempts that information is 100% correct.
Fat pirate have said they would send that evidence but fail to do so, when requested a few times via Live Chat.
I experience a script like pattern from the support provider they are suddenly swamped, with other players needing assistance or shift change occasionally sometimes I magically log out of the system (suspicious)
Ironically I stay on chat but start over with a alternative or occasionally with same fake email address. Get the very same support staff, to which I usual say "isn't this awkward for you" state my name then they end or leave chat.
Below is the screenshot of the approved but again cancelled fat pirate withdrawal I refuse to say declined until proven wrong.
Very frustrating.
Regardless hope everyone has a great xmas. Except those working at fat pirate. (Insert insults towards fat pathetic/pirate here.]
Merry xmas

They will most likely reply with the transaction was denied by my bank i contacted regarding this. Their reply was no transaction for the amount of $95 aud was attempted or denied.
So I could refute this with my bank I have asked repeatedly for a screenshot of the transaction attempt by fat pirates bank or financial institute used.
Unfortunately they never provide this even after saying they would email to me.
If asked again the simply ignore the question all together via email or support@fatpirate.com or live support chat.
I'm certain I get an AI bot on chat most times

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to.
I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email.
I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Peter
