i have over $20,000.00 in winnings at golden cherry. i submitted my first withdrawal request on 3/16 done in five individual $500.00 requests, as i was instructed to do by the customer support agent and per the written guidelines. i was told i would have my wire transfer within 9-10 days which would have been 3/29. because we can't call finance directly, i called customer support yesterday checking status. i was told one check in the amount of $500.00 was cut on 3/26, which i have not received yet. i asked why only one check when i was expecting $2,500.00. i was told i would have to email finance. i did this and waited an entire day to have them respond with this general statement: "All withdrawals are paid in installments. Withdrawals and changes to payment instructions are subject to clearance by our Security Department. So after your first installment was sent out to you, you need to then make the request again for the remaining amount, which would then be processed by the Security Department." this does not tell me anything. to make matters worse, i am moving on the 31st. i was under the impression a wire transfer was going to be done. so why is a check now being cut. i started playing at golden cherry because they were given high marks for their casino in all regards but i do not feel that is the case. bottom line, i want my money can you help me?

i requested five each $500 withdrawal requests two separate times. the first set was done on 3/16 and the last set was done last friday. i have been awaiting $5000, yet only $500 has been received and another $500 was supposedly issued today.

this morning i was told by livechat that the amount paid out weekly is based on player status which is an internal system used by the finance department. no one could provide me any details about player status nor could i find anything on the casino site.

this is totally absurd. again i ask why we the gamblers are held to such stringent rules yet the casxinos are free to do as they want. i am not asking for anything that i am not entitled to. i was told multiple times by live chat as well as read on the casino site that the maximum weekly payout is $2500. no where did it say a lesser amount.

i have repeatedly tried to get a phone number for finance without any luck.

i got angered by the responses i was getting from some fellow this morning on the casino livechat so i asked to speak to a manager. i ended up talking to maria. she was very patient and understanding and promised to reach out to finance for me, but could not guarantee anything. i wish to compliment maria as i am sure i was more than a bit difficult to deal with yet she was always professional and courteous.

i simply wish to receive my winnings in the manner i was led to believe it would happen - $2500 a week. furthermore, i think it is unfair and definately poor business practice to prohibit the players from speaking to finance. customer support can tell us minimal info, everything else is handled by finance. yet no one can actually talk to finance. please explain the reasoning for this.

sorry for the delay in responding......i just relocated from california to colorado. i did receive one check for $500.00 - however, i requested five each $500 withdrawals. why did i only receive one? i have since requested more, and still have not received any additional monies. i find it extremely hard to understand why we the gamblers are forced to abide by strict rules yet the casino's seem to be able to do whatever they want. is there anything i can do to collect all of my winnings without having to go through all this bullshit? lastly, how come we can't contact the finance department directly? what's up with that?

Withdrawal Limit set to minimum amount, would take 100 weeks to get paid!
Hi, I have accumulated £50,000 in winnings from this casino. It took a number of weeks for the security documents to be verified, but I know this is standard procedure for casinos and we have now reached the stage where everything is complete and I have been verified for withdrawals. The issue sits with the amount of the withdrawal allowed. I have some £50,000 in the account, and I have been informed I can only withdraw £500 per week. The terms state up to £2,500 can be withdrawn, but the 'up to' term is the key here. I have been informed it is based on player class and deposits made etc, but having asked for further information have not received any further information as to what the parameters are, so cannot comment in relation to how much I deposited or how much I played in relation to the limit set. At the rate of £500 per week it is going to take 100 weeks to claim my winnings. I understand the need of cainso to restrict large payouts to safeguard their business, but the limit of £500 they have set is not in line with the balance on the account nor my level of playing etc. They should offer a lump sum payment and an increased withdrawal limit to allow a player to appreciate the winnings made in the casino, as at the moment I am very dissapointed with the whole situation. I have asked for further details of the withdrawal limits and what they are based on but have received no response as yet. I will be happy to post them once I have them I an effort to provide the casino a fair chance of repsonse. I know casinos can be restrictive, and we all know the risks involved, but surely this is a little out of kilter with what Other casinos do? I recently used Hippodrome casino and won £8,000 which was paid immediately? so I know it can be done by other casinos? Why not this one?

Golden Cherry Casino continues its excuses and does not pay my winnings!!
Here is my ironical story: Golden Cherry offers me a free chip somewhere in the month of November 2014 and i meet my wagering requirments, request for the max cashout (as per the bonus terms) which in my case was $180. Now the catch here is, GoldenCherry Casino requires you to make a $20 deposit before a withdrawal could be processed. I agree and a deposit is made and withdrawal is requested for $200 (includes my $20 deposit) The trouble starts here, A week later i get a usual copy-paste message that my account is chosen for some random security and it could take upto 3 months. (here i really want to kill myself for trusting them). Anyways, i wait and its the month of Feb now. Though the 3 months are over there is no revert from their department. I have made several withdrawal requests after that and the requests are all declined with the same copy-paste message and ofcourse when you try to contact the Live Chat agents they are clueless (though trying to be helpful) as they have no information regarding it. I know i am supposed to give up on them as i am sure they do not intend to pay so i inform the Live chat that i shall report this at Askgamblers.com and they ask me to request for a withdrawal yet again and tell me that my request would be granted this time. Here is a twist now: This time the email that i get does not talk about the random security issue as i am hoping its over, it talks about me not being active on the casino and i should play more often to getting my withdrawal request approved. There is no clause as such in their terms and condition and moreover do you think i would ever have the confidence to make any deposits until i would get my withdrawal approved... ( like what were these guys thinking) Conclusion: Yet again they decline my payment. My request to this casino is that if you do not intend to pay my money, pay my deposit amount back as you have no right to keep my money that i deposited (totally illegal) I would just like to tell GoldenCherry Casino that you should stop this unethical practice of asking customers to deposit and all the excuses you guys make to not pay them. Players Beware, this casino is avoidable at all costs!!

Software Problems and Delayed Payment
I have advised management when I was playing with over $30,000 that the computer kept on freezing and the bonus would change out after I saw it come down. They responded it was cookies or my machine and they I won and loss at random and not their software. All the funds were lost and the next day when I went on I couldn't log in. Sent them an email re problem. The next day I get try to start playing and the machine freezes again. I contact a c/s/r and she can't fix the problem and ask her to email management re what as happening. She finally contacts and IT person and I had to advise what game I was playing and it took him 15-20 minutes to fix whatever the problem was since I wasn't told. There was nothing wrong with my computer it was on their end. I feel some of the funds I lost were due to their computer glitch and I should be reimbursed. I have also sent an email to Hailey, a manager at the casino, regarding what happened and the name of the c/s/r who can verify what happened. It has been over a week without any response. After sending the emails now I am having a problem with a payout and can get no response other than we are looking into it. I have played at this casino for a long time but don't understand what is going on or why someone doesn't try to resolve issues immediately. They respond immediately when they want you to deposit funds but not on withdrawals or problems with their software. I am awaiting a timely response. In addition, Withdrew 2500 the first week of Dec. Processed by the casino on 12/15 and funds not in my acct. They advised on 12/23 they were sending an email to their provider and were looking into it. Today they still have no response.
