LottoHoy Casino - Player claims that payment has been delayed.

Hi, my withdrawal from here is pending for 2 weeks and they have stopped responding to enquiries.

I requested a (first) withdrawal from the casino section of this site on 6 November. At first they were responsive, they emailed to ask me for KYC documents the next day and said i had to re-request the withdrawal which I did. This has now been pending ever since. I sent all docs and when I asked 2 days later if everything was ok with the documents and how long the withdrawal might take (it says "allow up to 24 hours" on the withdrawal page...) they just said "your withdrawal is being processed" so from that I assume verification went fine. But nothing has changed on the site and my withdrawal still shows as pending. I have sent another couple of polite email enquiries but no reply. Please can you see if you can press them? Thanks.

Dear FairlyUK,

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 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 by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Complaints Resolution Center

Hi and thanks for responding so fast. It has been 14 days today. My account is verified, I assume, since they did not report any problem with all the docs i sent on the 7th and said "your withdrawal is being processed" when I asked if everything was in order.

The trouble is that the withdrawal request has not moved from "pending" status to "approved" in all this time. I am sure once it is "approved" by them it will get to me fast as I have had other withdrawals processed by sites with the same owner (white label sites) and once it goes to "approved" it comes fast. But they are just not making it Approved nor responding to my requests for an update. I have been really polite at all times.

Thank you for your reply, FairlyUK. Could you please post a screenshot of your withdrawal history here in this thread? Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?

Additionally, please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. Thank you in advance.

Hi again - it's a bit weird there - they don't allow you to see the withdrawal page if your account balance is at 0 and there is no "transaction history" page for withdrawals either. I have to download an excel spreadsheet from the site, this shows all my personal data so I will email it if you don't mind.

I didnt take any bonus.

[Update: emails sent to you.]
