Case summary
2 weeks ago
The player from Germany had won 13,000 at Winshark but faced issues when trying to cash out, as her account level unexpectedly dropped from Level 4 to Level 2, which limited withdrawals to 500 euros every 24 hours. After she contacted support for an explanation and deposited an additional 35 euros to play, the site went down for an update, which added to her frustration. Ultimately, the Complaints Team had to reject the case due to the player's lack of response to their inquiries, preventing any further investigation or resolution of the issue.

I played at WinShark again today and I am very upset. I play at WinShark quite often. Then I won something, 13,000, and wanted to cash out. Since I was already at Level 4, after the win, I was suddenly dropped to Level 2. I could not cash out my money completely, only three times 500, which is still pending. I contacted support, and they said that one can only cash out 500 euros every 24 hours. They didn't explain why my level dropped to 2 and why my money disappeared. I have photos of this. After that, I deposited another 35 euros to play again, thinking the money would probably reappear. Then the site suddenly went down, with a message saying to come back later as an update was being carried out. This has never happened before.
Ich habe heute wieder bei WinShark gespielt ich bin sehr verärgert ich spiele sehr oft nur bei WinShark dann gewinne ich einmal was 13000 möchte sie abgeben da ich schon Level 4 war und nach dem Gewinn nur noch Level 2 und konnte mein Geld nicht komplett auszahlen lassen nur drei mal 500 das noch offen steht den Rest nicht als ich den Support kontaktierte meinten sie das Emre so nur alle 24 std dürfe man 500 Euro abgeben und keine Aussage darüber warum plötzlich Level 2 steht und das mein Geld verschwunden ist ich habe Fotos davon danach hatte ich 35€ noch mal eingezahlt zum spielen weil ich dachte das wird bestimmt wieder auftauchen dann gib die Seite nicht mehr plötzlich stand da kommen sie später wieder wie machen ein Update noch nie zuvor war es so passiert

I told support and took a photo of it, but they couldn't say anything about it and I would have to write an email. Level two came straight after I won.
when I reached level 5 a few weeks ago it was also the case that even though I play there every day I was often downgraded to level 2 I have to take a look I was already upset about it at the time and they said that was the way it was so I have to see if I have any screenshots I am very disappointed I don't think that's honest I'm WinShark just so I can't cash out everything even though I'm VIP 4.5 after everything was gone I only got a reply on Sunday should I send it here or by email to them and I had played with the remaining 11 thousand for around 100 suddenly my money was gone and the site was closed supposedly an update which had never happened before was my winnings gone I was then only able to cash out 1500 and only from Monday onwards only 500 three times before that I always asked support they told me not to worry at level four you can cash out a lot more or everything when the over 11 thousand was gone I cancelled 500 withdrawals three times and played with them in the hope that the money would come back and I would win again I wonder if that would happen twice after the site went back up all the spots were closed which meant you no longer had a chance of winning anything well I'm frustrated that I've been a verified loyal regular customer since the beginning, I only play there rarely, then at others every now and then and then something like this happens I got the answer that I had gambled away the money time I think it was just before the site was closed or the whole casino was closed for an hour country that was gone before that they said I had gambled it away which isn't true I had gambled away the increase despite being a loyal regular customer I was downgraded to level two they do it on purpose so that you gamble away your money it's unfair I'm so sad I deposited there every day even though I only lost because I thought that only WinShark was safe and paid out without any problems do you know of another casino that also pays out everything immediately, not weeks later and then only using unfair means
Ich teilte es dem Support mit hab Foto davon gemacht das sie dazu nichts sagen können ich eine email schreiben müsste Level zwei Kamm direkt nach dem ich gewonnen hatte.
als ich Level 5 erreichte vor paar Wochen war es auch der Fall das ich obwohl ich jeden da spiele oft auf Level 2 abgestuft ich muss mal schauen hatte mich damals schon deswegen aufgeregt und die sagten das wäre so da muss ich schauen ob ich noch Screenshots habe bin sehr entäuscht finde das nicht ehrlich bin WinShark nur damit ich nicht alles auszahlen kann obwohl ich vip 4,5 bin nach dem alles weg war wurde mir erst Sonntag geantwortet soll ich das hier senden oder ihnen per email und die restlichen 11 tausend hatte ich 100 ungefähr mit gespielt plötzlich war mein Geld weg und die Seite wurde geschlossen angeblich Update was vorher noch nie passierte war mein Gewinn weg hatte dann 1500 nur auszahlen lassen können und erst ab Montag nur drei mal 500 vorher fragte ich immer das Support sie sagten mir machen sie sich keine Sorgen bei Level vier können sie viel mehr bzw. alles auszahlen lassen als die über 11 tausend weg war hatte ich drei mal 500 abhebungen storniert und damit gespielt in der Hoffnung das das Geld wieder kommt und ich noch mal gewinne ob das 2 mal passiert nach dem die Seite wieder ging waren alle Spots zu das bedeutet man hatte keine Chance mehr was zu gewinnen naja bin frustriert das ich verefiziert bin loyaler Stamm Kunde seit Anfang an nur dort spiele selten dann bei anderen ab und zu nur und dann sowas passiert ich bekamm die Antwort ich hätte das Geld verspielt Uhrzeit glaube kurz bevor die Seite geschlossen wurde bzw das ganze Casino eine std Land das war davor weg sie sagen ich hätte es verspielt was nicht stimmt die Anhebung g hatte ich verspielt trotz loyale Stamm Kundin war Level zwei runter gestuft das machen die extra damit man sein Geld verspielt das ist unfair ich bin so traurig hatte dort jeden Tag eingezahlt obwohl ich nur verlor weil ich dachte das nur WinShark sicher ist und auch problemlos auszahlt kennen sie ein anderes Casino was auch alles auszahlt sofort nicht erst Wochen später und dann nur unfairen Mitteln handeln
Only after everything was gone did this email come. I am sending you all the emails. Thank you so much. I am so sad. I was so happy to finally be able to withdraw something. 13 thousand and I don't get this money. I had deposited over 30,000 in total and didn't win once except on Saturday 😞🥺😭
Erst nach dem alles weg war kamm diese email ich sende ihnen alle E-Mails zu ich danke ihn so sehr ich bin so traurig ich habe mich so gefreut endlich etwas auszahlen lassen zu können 13 tausend und dieses Geld bekomme ich nicht Mals ich hatte da ingesamt über 30000 eingezahlt und nicht einmal gewonnen außer Samstag 😞🥺😭
From the screenshot you provided, I can see that you requested two (possibly three) withdrawals of €500 on the 21st of September, and at that time, your active balance was already down to €0.21.
Could you please clarify when you played down your remaining winnings?
