Over four weeks ago, I successfully won $20,000 while playing pokies online at Zodiac Casino. However, the process of withdrawing my winnings has been riddled with obstacles and challenges. Initially, it appeared that the withdrawal would be a straightforward procedure. I had already verified my identity and deposited funds into the online platform using both a Visa card and a Neteller account, which was a preferred option suggested by the site. However, when it came time to withdraw, neither of these deposit options were available for withdrawal.
Consequently, I opted for a bank transfer to my personal bank account and followed the necessary steps to verify this account by providing the requested documentation. I believed that everything was in order and the withdrawal would proceed smoothly. To my disappointment, days later, I received an email stating that the account details I had provided were entered incorrectly on my end, resulting in their inability to process my withdrawal. In response, I promptly resubmitted the details informing them that for some reason the suffix section had been deleted and that it was entered in my original submission. I resubmitted the account again as my preferred withdrawal option.
Then, another unexpected hurdle emerged. I received an email requesting statements from both my personal bank account and Neteller account. Although I found this request somewhat unusual, I complied in order to expedite the process. However, as you might have anticipated, they once again informed me that they were unable to transfer the funds to my account. Frustratingly, it was only after I informed them that my bank account was now protected by an activity alert that they revealed the true reason for withholding payment: the deposits I made from my Neteller account did not align with the transaction history on their platform.
Consequently, they refused to release the funds and instead urged me to utilize the winnings by playing more games and redepositing the funds back into my players account.
Furthermore, the fact that they are using their own preferred supplier as a reason to withhold my winnings is highly questionable. It is concerning that they are using this as a genuine reason to deny my payout. From my transaction history, it should be evident that the funds I deposited came from legitimate sources, and there was sufficient money to play. Instead of exploring other options or taking the currency exchange into account, they seem to be grasping at different deposit amounts as a means to challenge my identity verification.
I have followed their instructions to the letter, including abiding by the terms and conditions. Yet, they still find ways to avoid paying out winnings. In total I have spent (excluding winning funds) less than $2,000 and I understand that I may have to take reduced withdrawal amounts of £4000 per week until paid out, yet this is not been accepted either.
