EGB Casino - Pelaajan kotiuttaminen viivästyy merkittävästi.

Hello,

The casino has removed the option to cash out via crypto and now only offers P2P withdrawal methods, which require other users to deposit before I can receive my funds. I have received two withdrawals of $200 and $100 each. However, I have not received any payments for an extended period, and I am starting to find this situation concerning. The casino has responded via email, stating that I just need to wait longer.

Dear charafsab,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

• Could you please confirm that you have passed the KYC verification?
• Have you accumulated your winnings with the help of a bonus?
• Since when are crypto withdrawals not available? Did the casino explain whether it's temporary or not?
• Could you please share with me your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Due to the increased volume of complaints during this time of year, we kindly request your patience while awaiting our responses. We aim to publish each complaint within 48 hours of submission but reserve up to 7 days to reply to any subsequent comments. Additionally, please be aware that it might take a bit longer for your complaint to be assigned to a resolver, as we are currently managing over 900 complaints.

Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Wishing you a delightful holiday season, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Could you please confirm that you have passed the KYC verification?

yes I am verified

Have you accumulated your winnings with the help of a bonus?

No I never use bonuses

Since when are crypto withdrawals not available? Did the casino explain whether it's temporary or not?

I requested to withdraw via crypto more than a month ago and they refused the request and took crypto withdrawal option away, leaving me with only the option to go through p2p where I would have to wait for other users to deposit for me to get my money.

Could you please share with me your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I chatted mostly via live support but here are two emails I sent about this where I’m just told to wait, how is it reasonable to be asked to wait when I waited for more than a month?

Thank you very much, charafsab, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Matej (matej.l@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hello charafsab, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej and I will be taking care of your complaint going forward. I've just reviewed this case and fully appreciate your concerns regarding the requested payout. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I’d like to invite a representative of EGB Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you please provide more details as of why this player’s withdrawal request is being processed longer than usual? I would also appreciate if you could provide us with any and all relevant evidence.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

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.

According to the EGB Terms & Conditions, which you agreed to upon registration, we may set limits on available withdrawal methods and maximum and minimum withdrawal limits depending on the withdrawal method or for individual users (Section 7). The withdrawal methods available to you can be found by visiting the Cash Out section of your account.

Thank you very much for the reply!

Dear charafsab, could you please have a look at all the available payment methods in your account, and confirm whether the one you are waiting for is still available? If not, I would recommend cancelling the pending withdrawal and select a different method from the available options. If you can let me know the results, that would be much appreciated.

Hello, I have received two withdrawals from Revolut, now I cancelled the Wise and MobilePay withdrawals and submitted them through Revolut since they are not popular, hopefully my 450$ Revolut withdrawal is processed quickly rather than two months like the last ones.

Hi there, this is good news!

Could you please confirm how much money you have received already, and how much is still to be withdrawn?

I have received 300$, 100$ on 17/1 and 200$ on 25/1. I am still waiting for 450$ that has been approved on 26th at 18:28:04.

Seems like things are moving in the right direction. :)

Let's give the casino some time to process the last payment - hopefully there will be no further issues. Please let me know as soon as the money comes through, otherwise we will inquire further with the casino on Monday.

Sounds good, thank you Matej!

Good day,

I would like to ask EGB Casino if you can give us any update on the status of the last withdrawal, which has been approved on 26/01. Thank you very much :)

The user is using the P2P method. We have a decentralized system for P2P methods, meaning that one user submits a withdrawal request, while another selects and processes the payment. The speed at which a particular withdrawal request is completed depends on the withdrawal method and the amount.

Dear charafsab.

I'm afraid in this case we just have to wait a tad longer, as this P2P method leaves a lot of room for delays. Given how long it took to process the previous withdrawals, we'll give it couple of days and see if it gets through. Please, let us know if you receive the payment approved on 26/01 in the meantime, and if it is the last withdrawal pending.

Thank you.

I don’t think I’ll receive the payment anytime soon because the support claims I can receive partial withdrawals, even though I requested 450$. They say if a user deposits 100$, I can get that amount, with 350$ remaining. But that’s not true, as I’ve only received full amounts. So, if I want my withdrawal to happen faster, I’ll need to somehow come up with a common amount like 100$ and resubmit 100$ withdrawals, since the casino now charges for more than one withdrawal per month.

This situation is frustrating indeed, but it seems like the payments are being processed - although incredibly slowly.

Would you be able to send me your withdrawal history, so we can at least guesstimate the casino's payment processing, please? Either post them in this thread as attachements, or send them directly to my e-mail address matej.l@casino.guru.

Thank you.

Thank you for the screenshots provided.

It seems like anything above 200$ gets cancelled and the only recent withdrawals that made it through are of no more than 100$. That doesn't look too promising as splitting the withdrawal request into more payments would either take five months, or you would have to pay 4% procesing fee on each of the extra transactions.

EGB Casino is there any reason for limiting this player's withdrawals like this? If so, any sensitive evidence can be sent directly to my e-mail matej.l@casino.guru. Otherwise, would you be willing to either prioritise this last transaction, or re-open player's ability to withdraw via crypto, to speed up the resolution of this issue?

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.

We canceled the user's withdrawal only once when we restricted their withdrawal methods. On other occasions, he either canceled the withdrawals himselves, or the system did so due to the restriction. Crypto withdrawals are not available to him. However, Revolut P2P is accessible. I'd like to point out that 95% of their deposits were made using this method.

The user may indeed receive smaller amounts, depending on the demand for them. However, the remaining balance stays in the withdrawal queue in such cases.

Thank you for the clarification.

Dear charafsab, how about trying to withdraw through smaller amounts (about 100 per transaction) and quing them up this way? Hopefully that would speed up the process. Unless you have another idea?

I have submitted a 100$ withdrawal request

Thank you for the confirmation. Hopefully the payment will be processed in due time. Fingers crossed!

Dear charafsab, I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from the casino. If you wish to wait, I can swap the timer your way, provided you let us know every now and then whether you are getting any money from EGB.

Alternatively, you can let me know how much money is still not being processed, and I can adjust the "complaint amount", then close the case as unresolved. That will impact the casino rating, and if you eventually get paid - or the casino decides to address this issue - the status can be changed to resolved, or the case reopened. I know this is far from ideal, but please, me know what would you like to do.

Dear charafsab,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Unfortunately, the player has not responded to my messages and questions. Consequently, we are unable to investigate further and have no choice but to 'reject' this complaint.

The player can reopen this complaint at any time.

We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of charafsab. We would like to allow this case one more chance to be resolved and help both parties involved to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

EGB Casino can you please confirm once the payment has been processed on your end? Thank you.

Dear charafsab, can you please confirm if you have received the payment?

Hello, I have not received any payments yet.

I see. Given the fact that casino is no longer communicating with us, I don't think there is much point keeping this complaint open. If you agree, I will close this complaint as unresolved - which will negatively impact the casino rating - and free up the que for another complaint that is currently waiting to be tackled.

Dear charafsab,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Sure, you can close it

Thank you for the confirmation. Due to the aforementioned reasons, I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system, and it will negatively impact the future casino safety rating on our website as such. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue at all. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach in the future. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

As a next step, I do recommend you contact the Curaçao Gaming Authority (https://www.gamingcontrolcuracao.org/contact) and submit a complaint with them. Although according to their own article about online gaming - this authority does not deal with the player complaints, they stated that too many messages regarding the same casino may lead to revoking the license in the future, therefore it is worth a shot. If you need help with submitting the request, or if you hear back from either the authority or the casino, please let me know by sending me a quick message at matej.l@casino.guru. I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. :(

Best regards,

Matej
