Stalling my payment

Hello,

I'm submitting as a complaint as 138.com have failed to pay out my withdrawal request of £3000 and have subsequently failed to provide any further information.

My withdrawal request was processed on 23rd April and in accordance with their processing times I should have received my payout no later than 29th April.

As of 2nd May the money hasn't reached me. After 3 days I contacted them for an update to ensure the payment was processed successfully and they assured me this had been done.

On 29th April I contacted the company as I still hadn't received my withdrawals. I had visited the bank and obtained a copy of my statement and a letter from my bank manager to say they had checked all of the branch's holding accounts in case the money had been sent their in error. I sent this information to the company and they promised me an update within 24 hours.

I returned on 30th April and was told there was no update and told to wait another 24 hours. I expressed concern as I had been told originally it would only take 24 hours to get an update. I waited and came back on 1st and 2nd May and they have not provided any information.

The customer services team claim they are only capable of communicating via e-mail to their security team who manage payments etc and as such, they can't get any update until they respond.

At what point though does this dynamic cease to work? They claim the company is powerless to help me as only a certain team can assist, but they aren't responding to e-mails. I have sent several e-mail and no one has had the courtest of offering me any information.

I feel at a dead-end. The company have effectively said to wait until they are ready to help me, but so far I have no assurances they have even sent the payments. I asked for further details about their bank and the payment method used, so I could check this with my own bank, but they are refusing to provide any details of their payment procedure.

If the company provided me an exact date, even a week from now, I would accept that, but I'm not happy to just to be told to wait indefinitely. If the money hasn't arrived within the timeframes indicated, surely something has gone wrong?

I just want the money to be returned and accurate information on when to expect this.

We have been informed that player's payment has been processed last week.

In addition, we have been provided with a complete set of player's chat conversations, because we couldn't believe that a player could use such kind of language to communicate with other people and requested these conversations from 138 Casino management. Based on the extremely vulgar and offensive language used in some of these live chats transcriptions, we decided to reject this complaints case and recommend player to try to respect other people's dignity.

Over 3 weeks and this is the first response you have provided to any of my concerns. After 3 weeks it's clear that the payment would have reached my account. 138.com refuse to provide any proof of the payment being made and refuse to provide any contact details for my bank to contact them on. Your staff now refuse to respond on live chat when I request an update.

I have taken this matter up with the regulators of Isle of Man and will ask them to mediate the recovery of the funds.

Anyone reading this post, I would seriously re-consider using this company, if you win big this is the sort of treatment you can expect.

We're still awaiting for the initial funds to be returned to our account, our payment provider is regularly monitoring their accounts awaiting the returned amounts.

Our regulator is fully aware of the case and is happy with the action we've taken.

As soon as returned funds are received, we will send the money to the player's account.

Delaying Payment
I made a withdrawal 9 days ago and a day or two later totalling just over £300.00. It states in their terms and conditions: Please note that all withdrawal requests in respect of winnings accrued and/ or received through Poker available on the website will be subject to a 24 (Twenty Four) hour processing period from the time we receive Your withdrawal request. and: Generally, using Credit/Debit Card, Neteller or Skrill(moneybookers) takes 24 up to 72 hours pending period. I have spoken to them numerous times on live chat and each time they have either not been able to get hold of the relevant department or will pass it on as an urgent request and will email me back with an update. I have received zero emails from them and nine days later the withdrawals are still awaiting processing. I enquired about possibly cancelling one of the withdrawals and returning the funds to my account to see if it was possible, however they stated, moments after telling me the withdrawals haven't yet been processed, that they could not do this even though it states in the terms and conditions: You can cancel your withdrawal request and have the funds returned to your 138.com account within the processing period. I can't reverse any of the withdrawals even though they haven't yet been processed, when I made the request to withdraw more than 9 days ago. They tell me they will email me with updates and never do, I now just want both withdrawals to be processed into my bank but feel I am constantly being fobbed off.
