Hello, I won 15000€ last Sunday, of which I immediately requested a payout of 3000€. I then increased the remaining 12K to 18K, which is now in the account together with the pending withdrawal, totalling 21000€.
The casino hasn't paid out the initial 3000€ yet, even though I am verified and have previously made withdrawals. I'm only getting standardized reply from the support. Apparently, they need to perform an inspection with the gaming provider - whatever that means.
I'm really worried that they won't pay out and I have this feeling that the casino will just withhold the money. Therefore I am asking for support.

Dear MimiMy,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your withdrawal problem.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation.
- Have you been advised why you can’t withdraw your winnings? Is it an internal casino system issue, or it’s related to your account only?
- Is the withdrawal of 3000€ still pending in your account?
- Could you please explain which games you played in order to accumulate your winnings? (slots, live games, betting on sports)
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

No, despite asking several times, I was not told why the payout had not yet been processed, except that this "verification by the gaming provider" was probably in progress. But as I have seen with many people here, this is apparently often a method of keeping the winnings.
I only played slots. The outstanding withdrawal of €3000 (3x €1000) is in the "pending" status - since Sunday. An additional €18000 can still be withdrawn from the account, but I can only pay this out step by step once the first €3000 has been processed.

Quick update, out of desperation I kept playing (which the casino probably hopes will make you lose) and increased my winnings to 40k. That means I now have a total of 43 thousand euros outstanding. I'm really curious to see if I'll ever see any of that in my account.

Hello, unfortunately I have since played the amount back down. However, I left the 3x 1000 withdrawals as they were. A withdrawal of 1000€ has now actually been processed, but the other two still haven't, even though I submitted the requests at the same time.

Hello,
The 3K has now been paid out. Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, I lost the rest of it because of the long wait. This casino offers absolutely no player protection.
