Hi, I'm afraid we don't currently have another player here who could directly confirm something like this, but on the other hand, if this casino didn't apply, we would have tons of complaints about it from players, which we don't have.
What you describe can happen if the casino checks your overall activity to allow withdrawals, which is common for larger amounts, or it can be preparation for identity verification, there are more possibilities. If you have never made a withdrawal before, you must first go through verification. This is a basic requirement of almost every licensing authority, by the way.
However, I have to say that neither of those options excuses the lack of cooperation from the casino in my opinion. It's really sad when a nice experience with such a great amount of money is ruined by the fact that you don't know what's going on and what will happen next.
Are you sure you didn't receive an email in your spam folder or some other notification?
