Case summary

22 hours ago

The player from Italy faces challenges withdrawing €9,000 from his account after reaching a total of €40,310 in winnings. Although his account has been verified multiple times, the casino delays the withdrawal process due to a routine gameplay check, causing him concern about potential psychological tactics to discourage him from cashing out.

Hi, I'm Riccardo M.

First of all I would like to specify that the country is Italy/Poland and not Puerto Rico. I don't know why I can't select the right country.


On December 19th I registered on this platform. At first I asked by email if I could play and withdraw from both Poland and Italy since I am an Italian resident but am often abroad, as well as the withdrawal and turnover limits.


I was told that there is no problem and so I sent all the documents and my account was verified.


I paid €1500 and when I got to about €2500 I wanted to withdraw but I couldn't because the site said I had to upload documents. So, I sent a photo of the card I used by email and they told me I could withdraw.


I didn't withdraw anymore but I continued to play and in about 10 days, winning and losing I reached a total of €40,310.00.

so I wrote to the casino to say that I want to withdraw both because I don't want to lose the win since I'm satisfied but also because €40,000 is the monthly withdrawal limit.


Since there was no bank transfer option I requested €9,000 on Mastercard. It's been 3 days already (in the terms and conditions it says within 72 hours) but the last communication with the casino is from 3 days ago where they said they were waiting for feedback about the routine gameplay check but I haven't had any more info.


Since it is a nice win and I would like to avoid falling into psychological games to get me to play and lose (since it was already happening but I managed to recover), since the account is already verified twice I asked the casino to communicate to me a 5-week plan to withdraw this €40,310.


can you help me?


obviously I have about 120 screenshots referring to account, communication with the casino, balance, transaction screenshots and also some screenshots of all the times when the game magically crashed and I had to refresh everything.

For convenience I could send them by email because there are a lot of photos.


Now, I kindly request you to mediate and contact the casino to avoid these psychological games.

I understand that it is a large amount, I work in Anti money laundering and I know the procedures, but I won and I would like to avoid these techniques used by other Casinos.


Thank you

Dear ricmastrangelo,

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 the 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, please, let us know and we will intervene and try to help you.  


If you worry about playing away your money, I suggest you install BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).

BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods. 

Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.  

Best regards, 

Veronika

No one is providing me any timeframe. In other past experiences the regular gameplay checks was done by few hours.

here is more than a week since I started to request withdrawals with my account being full verified 3 times. At the beginning with my KYC, then with my credit card picture and then again with my selfie with document and a white paper with some provided info to write.

I do not understand the concern but at least the good news is that even if I wanted to play to win more I could not as they suspended me. However I don’t want to play anymore because in the last days I started to lose a lot and it was harder and harder to win again.

i simply asked the casino to provide me with a precise calendar in order to withdraw this balance which will be 50.017€ by Friday after I will redeem the cashback for bets and losses.


can you please assist?

And several times I also experienced errors after many bets lost and I could not Continue the series of betting and I should start from the beginning so the rtp was basically cancelled and it should start again. I have never created issues even tho I experienced not always a smooth game. I have always cooperated with their requests and many times I was the one that in advance asked to provide everything in order to avoid issues later. (E.g KYC when I registered)

It’s incredible. When you need to deposit it is an instant, when you win it is always a marathon.

i understand all the procedures, requirements and steps but I frankly do not understand how it is possible to prolong like this.

The normal gameplay check by provider is done by few hours. More or less I placed 6700 spins in total (losses and win) so they have all softwares to check that easily.


It is the first time I experience this. Even in the past with large wins it was not super fast but not like this

Frankly, I have trouble identifying what the problem is.

I am fully verified, passed KYC, verified deposits via credit card verification, met all wagering requirements, did not use bonuses to play. I have collected wins after sharp losses. I finally decided to stop and withdraw my winnings so as not to be greedy and lose everything.

Furthermore, the terms and conditions stated a timeframe of 78 hours maximum for the approval of payments but now it is already almost two weeks.

Also, respecting the limits of €10,000 per week it would have taken me 5 weeks and therefore until February 7th. But no one has started paying me and so everything is delayed.

At this point I kindly ask you to operate a solution that allows me to withdraw my winnings correctly respecting the times in order to complete the full withdrawal of the sum by mid-February.

I await news
