Complaint regarding the unjustified closure of my account and non payment of my winnings

I am submitting this complaint concerning the unjustified closure of my Sportaza player account and the non-payment of my winnings, despite several attempts on my part to contact you, all of which have remained without any concrete resolution.

My account was closed without any clear explanation, even though I had several winning bets at the time, including:

-Tennis: victory of Tallon Griekspoor against Brandon Nakashima (winning bet);

-Tennis: victory of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina against Jenson Brooksby (winning bet);

-NBA (combined bet): victory of Oklahoma City Thunder against Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers +10.5 handicap against Golden State Warriors (winning bet as well).

Since the closure of my account, I have contacted customer support several times to recover my winnings. Unfortunately, the responses I have received remain vague and repetitive, with no real progress, giving the impression that you are deliberately stalling the process in order to gain time and avoid paying me the funds that are rightfully mine.

Hello, AskGamblers

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to indicate the exact amount of the disputed payments because my Sportaza account was closed without prior notice or access to my betting history or balance, which prevents me from checking the details of my winnings or pending withdrawals.

To the best of my recollection, I had several winning bets pending at the time, including:
-Tennis: victory of Tallon Griekspoor against Brandon Nakashima (winning bet);
-Tennis: victory of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina against Jenson Brooksby (winning bet);
-NBA (combined bet): victory of Oklahoma City Thunder against Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers +10.5 handicap against Golden State Warriors (winning bet as well).

Therefore, I kindly ask that Sportaza be requested to disclose the exact total amount of my winnings and balance at the time my account was closed, so that I can provide a precise figure for the complaint.

I remain at your disposal should you need any additional information.

Kind regards,

Repeated Withdrawal Delays and Cancellations
have had ongoing withdrawal problems with Sportaza for about two weeks. I have made two withdrawal attempts that were both rejected/cancelled by Sportaza, and I am now on a third attempt.

Attempt #1: €344 via Zimpler → rejected/cancelled by the casino (they mentioned a “technical error” / payment provider issue).

Attempt #2: €500 via Nordea bank withdrawal → rejected/cancelled again (casino claimed a technical issue with the Nordea method).

For both attempts, the processing time took 4 business days each, which exceeds their stated 1–3 business days, and then the funds were returned to my casino balance without a clear explanation. Livechat-agents says everything looks fine in my account and just make a new withdrawal reguest.

Attempt #3 (currently pending): €500 via bank transfer (third different method).
Date submitted: 11.12.2025
Transaction ID: 87c204a5-5ea7-452a-92ca-59f397f977cc

I am filing this complaint now because based on the previous two attempts, I strongly expect it will again exceed the promised timeframe and then fail without a proper reason.

The casino support has been unhelpful. Live chat has not provided a concrete explanation or resolution and has mainly advised generic troubleshooting steps such as using Chrome, clearing cache and cookies, and trying a different device when submitting the withdrawal.
These suggestions do not address the actual issue, as the withdrawal requests were successfully submitted but later rejected or unsuccesfull by technical error by the casino after several business days. I have contacted live chat over 10 times and also sent emails, without receiving meaningful assistance or a clear timeline.

Additional context:
• I have successfully withdrawn from this account in 2022.
• My account does not require verification; I started playing this time using a strongly authenticated bank transfer deposit.
• I currently have about €600 remaining in my casino balance, but as a low-level player my maximum withdrawal per transaction is €500, so I cannot withdraw the remaining funds until this €500 withdrawal is resolved.

I am requesting AskGamblers’ assistance to get the pending withdrawal processed with highest priority and to receive my funds without further delays or repeated “technical error” cancellations. Based on my experience, it appears that these repeated delays may be intended to discourage withdrawal and push me to continue playing the funds instead of receiving them.

Withdrawal Delay Beyond Terms and Conditions

Dear AskGamblers Team,


I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Sportaza regarding an unresolved withdrawal issue that has now exceeded the timeframe stated in their own terms and conditions.

On April 28, 2025, I initiated a withdrawal of $36.92, which is clearly visible as “Pending” in my account history (screenshots attached). As per Sportaza’s own T&Cs, withdrawals are to be processed within 3 business days. Today is May 2nd, 2025, marking the 4th business day, yet my funds remain unpaid without any concrete resolution.

I contacted their support (see chat screenshot attached), and the only explanation offered was that there was a "holiday yesterday" which supposedly delayed processing. However:

This excuse does not justify breaching their clearly stated processing window.

No advance notice of such a holiday was given, and other users are likely affected as well under the same poor excuse of "high withdrawal volume."

This level of unprofessionalism and lack of transparency is unacceptable. I have been patient, but it is clear that Sportaza is now in breach of its own obligations.

I am requesting AskGamblers' support to help escalate this matter and pressure Sportaza to immediately process my pending withdrawal.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter promptly.
