Sir -

The casino and VIP teams have looked into your complaint and found that there is much justification in your frustration with the handling of your account verification and subsequent processing of your first withdrawals (which relied on the successful verification of your account).

Firtsly let me please reconfirm that the withdrawals in question were all processed on the 4th of March - 2 days before this complaint was posted. You should have received those funds swiftly as your payment method has quick processing timeframes. Now that your account is fully verified there ought to never to be any more issues of this nature with both deposits and withdrawals.

Please also be advised that you were emailed almost immediately after opening your account on the 27th informing you that you need to verify your details with documentation as they were unable to verify your identity. This was partially due to the fact that you had entered some incorrect address details (makes the process more tortuous) - and also due to the fact that you did not send in any documentation until the 2nd/3rd when you withdrawals were requested and you sought support telephonically with our CS team.

You are a valued, genuine customer and VIP - we wish to make your journey more comfortable and take on board your comments - and then use them to address any deficiencies on our part. We already have a strong plan under development to make account verification quicker and easier for customers as we agree that this is a concern for those who are unfortunate enough to fall into the "not verified" bracket.

Please let us know by return if this response has allayed your concerns. If there are any further concerns we can either handle it over this thread or alternatively someone from the Casino team could call you to discuss and hopefully address all the concerns you may have.

Sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind Regards,

The Gala Casino Team

Software glitch with DC Jackpot taking forever to be resolved
On the 4th of April 2018 i was playing through a small deposit of £70. Normal stakes of £1 on most games. About £30 in i went onto the game Superman spun several times and hit the free spins @ 0.80p stake. Kept playing and then the screen turned dark Blue and a box popped up. It was the DC bonus Jackpot game but it was glitched. It buffered for about 20 seconds and then crashed. I immeditaley checked my connection and loaded the game up again expecting it to carry on with the unfinished game but it was back to normal spins. I thiught if i spun once it would automatically go back onto the unfinished spin...but it didnt. I reported it straight away to Gala Tech team on Live chat who said they found the spin in question and confirmed it was a glitched spin and i5 looked like i had entered the DC Bonus game. (Been playing for over 4 years on varied sites and never hit it before). They said they would send of the data to the Tech team. A while passed and no response so i emailed them for an update. They said it can take up to 28days for a solution to be posted. Now after 43 days from the initial complaint they have still not got back to me and refusing to give me an update. I sent an email to them on the 11th May 2018 (8days ago) saying how disgusted i am of their treatment to supposidly a simple glitch that could be fixed. I recieved an email back (attached) saying they hadnt heard anything and will contact me as ASAP with a solution. Another 8 days!!!!. I have read the terms and conditions and also spoke to various collegues and they said any issues raised must be delt with accordingly and within the 28day time period. Are Gala just messing me avout because they know i have hit the Jackpot game and are refusing to acknowledge it and pay. Has this ever happened and how do i get this resolved

Closed my account and voided my winnings due to 'account not passing their security checks' without any further information or proof
On the 1st of April I deposited £260 into Gala Casino. They gave me a £260 bonus to play with. I read the bonus rules and played slots making sure that I never deviated from any of these rules. I ended up winning £5705. I cashed out and that’s when the problems began. Gala asked me to send them my ID. I sent them a photo of my passport. They accepted my ID and then asked me to send a proof of address. I sent them my bank statement. Some time passed and they emailed me back telling me that since I didn’t pass their security my account was permanently closed. They confiscated all of my winnings, less £260, which was all that was returned. I was very careful not to break any of their rules. There is no excuse for this. If my documents did not meet their criteria, then they should explain what I did wrong and give me a chance to send something acceptable. They have not done this. They have declined my photos (despite them being crystal clear), closed my account and voided my win. They will not allow me to verify my account. They have seized my winnings despite the fact that I never breached any of their terms and that every character on both the photos of my bank statement and passport were in absolutely perfect focus, even when zoomed in on (I still have the photos and can send them to AskGamblers to verify this if needed). So I ask that you please help me to recover the funds and hope that this complaint serves as a warning to punters that Gala will use their verification procedure as an excuse to void their customer’s win if and when they feel like it.
