Not received withdrawal


1 month ago

Hi,


I am contacting you because I have given up on the bookmaker paying out the money that is rightfully mine.


I opened an account with Sportuna September/October 2025 and attempted to withdraw the funds at the end of October 2025. I requested a withdrawal, but the money never arrived. After various chats with them—during which they kept saying they would get in touch to explain what information they needed from me to process the payment—I finally received a mail this summer that they did not intend to pay me. They provided absolutely no explanation.


Even when I try my best, I cannot think of any reason why I shouldn't receive the money. I did not claim a bonus, so no terms were violated, and I have complied with all other rules and conditions. There has to be is only one reason, and that is that they do not want to pay out the money.



I now need your help to address this matter, as I cannot simply let it slide that they are allowed to do this.


For the record, the amount in the account is approximately 37,700 Norwegian kroner, which corresponds to about 3,450 euros.


Best regards

Hi,

As you can see from the attached image, I am still unable to log in to my account.

The error message I receive is: "Your account is under review. Check out our help centre for more information." Please resolve this; it is surely just a formality that has been overlooked. Thanks in advance.

Casino ignored my self Exclusion request and Allowed me to gamble further
Hello,

I would like to file a complaint regarding the casino’s serious failures in responsible gambling, withdrawal handling, and account closure.

My issue started when I won around €2,000 and tried to withdraw. The website clearly displayed a withdrawal range of €20–€1000, but when I attempted to withdraw €1000, I was unexpectedly told that the maximum daily withdrawal was only €500. Because of this, I withdrew €500, but the withdrawal took three days to arrive. During those three days, I kept requesting €500 withdrawals every day, but because the funds remained pending for so long, I repeatedly canceled them and continued gambling. This created a harmful gambling spiral directly caused by slow processing times and unclear withdrawal limits.

At one point, my balance reached €3,200 on Tuesday 21.10. However, the first €500 withdrawal I made on Sunday still hadn’t arrived.
Eventually, that €500 was the only withdrawal that ever reached my bank account.
In total, 14 other €500 withdrawals were canceled because the casino kept them pending long enough for me to reverse them and continue gambling.

When my balance had dropped to €800, I contacted the casino requesting a goodwill refund due to the misleading withdrawal information and the fact that the maximum limit was suddenly reduced from €1000 to €500 without notice.

During this chat, I even admitted that my gambling was out of control.
Despite this clear sign of gambling harm, the casino did nothing—they did not intervene, offer help, or close my account.

On Sunday 26.10, I finally requested my account to be closed due to gambling addiction. The casino confirmed that my account was closed and “protected.”

However, two days later (28.10), I logged in to check the status of my remaining €202 withdrawal—and shockingly, I was still able to access my account fully, even though I had requested a self-exclusion for gambling addiction. The €202 withdrawal had been left pending for two days, so I was again able to cancel it and gamble the rest of the money on an account that should have been closed for responsible gambling reasons.

After this, I contacted live chat, who told me they couldn’t help and even wished me “good luck and happy gaming,” despite my account supposedly being self-excluded.

Since then, I have sent around 15 emails. Every time I mention the details of the responsible gambling failure or account closure issue, the casino simply stops responding. Their last reply about this issue was on 30.10, despite several follow-up messages from me.

Summary of failures:
• The casino changed the withdrawal limit from €1000 to €500 without notice.
• Withdrawals were intentionally kept pending, encouraging me to cancel and gamble more.
• I admitted that my gambling was out of control, but the casino took no action.
• My account was supposed to be closed due to gambling addiction, but I could still access it two days later.
• I was able to cancel a pending €202 withdrawal and gamble it on an account that should have been permanently closed.
• The casino is now ignoring my messages entirely.

What I am requesting:
At minimum, I am requesting the refund of the €202 that I lost after my account should have been closed.
However, considering the severe responsible gambling failures, lack of intervention, and the fact that the casino allowed me to continue gambling even after a self-exclusion request, I believe a larger refund (up to €3000) is justified.

Thank you for reviewing my case.
