left for four weeks b4 being told no winnings


I saw an advert for a free £32 no deposit bonus at 32 red casino and duly registered.for the free 32 i had to type in my credit/debit card details and waited 2 minutes while the details were verified and was then issued the bonus.I was also sent an e-mail telling me my account was fully verified.

I played for a long time and got my balance to £650 at which point i requested a withdrawal.this is where the trouble began.i was asked to send a copy of my driving licence which i did not have at the time so i filled a verification form in online.i put wrong date of birth on 1st form so immediately filled in a 2nd form,which i returned and was sent an e-mail telling me the account was fully verified for a 2nd time,and after a long live chat was told the payment would be sent the following day by a woman from the payments team.

When the money was not paid they said that i had given 2 different date of births and they needed a driving licence or passport.i had neither at the time and said the licence would be sent as soon as possible.

Shortly after i recieved an e-mail saying once the driving licence had been sent and date of birth verified the withdrawal would be processed.

I sent my licence 3 weeks later and explained the delay was due to a close family members death,and recieved an e-mail at 10pm saying " i am pleased to tell you your account has been fully verified(3rd time) and your withdrawal request has been passed to the payments department who will e-mail you shortly...have a nice night"....I was over the moon telling my friends the payment was on its way only then to be told that someone in my house had also registered and had the bonus so i will not be being paid.I was at breaking point.....4 weeks i had endured ridiculing from the casino and now this.....There are 7 family members in my household and with work and shifts and me being away from home in the army,i don't see some for weeks on end.how can i possibly know which sites they use.

The whole ordeal seems to have been one long joke to 32 red who surely having told me on past occasions my account was verified must have searched for other people in the same household instead of telling me the morning after i had sent my documents in and ignoring e-mails asking why my account was still closed.I understand their policies but surely if 7 people live in a house they could bend the rules a bit and could have offered a reduced payment.After all i was issued the bonus and the £650 was won fairly as i was oblivious as to their reason for confiscating the winnings.

I am not well up on computers but have been told that an I.P address is a unique code which comes from the broadband supplier.As i mentioned 7 people live in the household or have their mailing address there.So if my brothers and sisters over the months have had their boyfri­end­s/g­irl­friends in the house and their friends come around and they are all using mobile phones,would the I.P address be the same if they were using the virgin WI-FI that is installed in the household???I am often away on active service for up to six months at a time,are you telling me that every person who enters my house during those six months should write down every site they have been on,every bonus they have had and every casino they have registered at???? I do understand casino's policies of bonuses being abused but under no circumstances have i deliberately set out to dupe or de-fraud 32 red,and in all fairness waiting four weeks until i sent my documentation to them before telling me the "winnings" would not be paid in my mind is both very unfair and vindictive.....there is no way on this earth that they only found out about other accounts on the night i sent in my driving licence.i hope me bringing this case to light will make other players who live in a household with many people to be aware of the fact about the I.P address and on the casino's side maybe they could put in place a system that alerts them that an account that is being registered is using an i.p address that has previously been used,so as no-body else has to go through the roller-coaster of emotions i have undergone in the last six weeks.If such a system was in place then maybe i would not have received the bonus and i would have been more aware about what an I.P address is about.

According to the evidence, presented by the 32Red casino, 31 accounts were registered and playing from the same IP address as the player's. This is considered to be a direct violation of point 8 of the aforementioned bonus terms and conditions - "This promotion is strictly limited to one per player and one per household even if there is more than one computer retained at the address. The identity of a user will be determined on the basis of all or any combination of the following: name, mailing address, e-mail address, IP address, credit/charge card number, computer, and any other form of identification which may be required."

Withdrawal issues due to verification and lies about timeframes

I have been chasing my withdrawal of £6500. I had been asked upon withdrawal to send over proof of verification so they first asked me to send over my payslip which I did and they approved on the 21st of March 2025 I was asked for my bank statements which I sent on the 26th of March march 2025 it clearly states when you upload this document that it takes typically up to 48 hours and a maximum of seven working days every time I contact the team they just give me generic answers and have now resorted to saying that there is no specific timeframe I mentioned so that means it could be a year or 10 years to which they replied. It depends on the teams workload the fact that they asked me for these documents in bits as opposed to asking me all in one go it would have been so much easier than to make it even more frustrating when I emailed them they say they have the documents and are working on it when I go onto the live chat until the documents are not uploaded and I have to re-upload them which I’ve done about three times now via emails on the website funny enough when I was told to re-upload them through no fault of my own as they had confirmed, they already have this by email and not to worry I was then told I could potentially be put to the bottom of the queue because it’s from the upload date. I have raised a complaint. I speak to the agents every day and just keep getting generic answers and they clearly do not care one bit. It’s literally a copy and paste job they’ve said they’ve contacted the verification team several times and they are literally refusing to help and I’ve just been told it is what it is and it can take however time they need but in their conditions it clearly states 48 hours and below being the minimum and seven days being the maximum it’s also interesting that they only asked for this information when I withdrew my funds I have been with them for almost 3 years and in the past I have verified my ID and what not with no issues in fact they approved my ID proof of address and source of wealth within two working days but the bank statement it just seems to be the most upsetting back-and-forth. All I’ve asked them is to just kindly reach out to the team for someone to have a look as they have already passed the designated timeframe but I no one wants to take initiative at all. I mentioned I am a loyal customer and it’s easier for just somebody to have a look at the emails because the support team do not know what’s going on and the verification team are not allowed to talk to customers and neither our managers which I find really bizarre so all they have to do to resolve this complaint is look at the final document they requested it’s very simple what they requested two months worth of bank statements which I’ve already shared and they should enable them to just approve my withdrawal. They should’ve said at the very start there is no specified time for us to verify these documents but it clearly states 48 hours to 7 days and I known this is how long it takes I would’ve gone with another provider that is more proactive and polite to their customers. In fact the chat agents at 32 red casino are incredibly rude and not helpful at all. I would just like my withdrawal approved and paid and my documents verified which is not a big deal because it’s only the last document they requested. The only delay is they have not reviewed my documents and I'm sure if they do this matter is easily resolved.

Delay withdrawal of 1165 pounds

On the 10/12/23 I trudged to making a withdrawal which was then reverted because my payment method ending in 0354 can’t accept inbound payments from 32red.com.

Later on in the day I found out that my 32red account was permanently closed without any form of communication as I had to find out by starting several chats with agents who wouldn’t even tell me what was going on. I ended up having to call the Uk support phone number to find this out. I was then told that my withdrawal will be processed and that my bank statement is needed which i uploaded to the live chat agent at the time which I’ve sent a screenshot of the chat showing this.

The next day on the 11th even though the withdrawal that was made on the 10/12/23 was declined by the method ending 0354; it was made to the exact same card without my knowledge and it was declined again; I only found out about this by live chat as they lied stating that they emailed me which they did not as 32red have a reputation of poor communication with customers. My bank statement was sent in order to have my £1165 paid to me by bank transfer but nobody has deposited to my emails and every time I ask the live chat agent they always tell me to be patient which is ridiculous.

It clearly states on 32reds website that withdrawals are processed in less than 24hrs but in my case it’s been over 72hours. I would please like askgamblers to step in and sort this out please so that I can have my £1165 paid to my virgin money bank account that I was told to supply a bank statement for. As 32red are very notorious for making withdrawals difficult for customers as they do not communicate at all

Prolonged Account Verification Process and Withholding of Funds

I joined 32Red on the 11th of May 2020 depositing a total of £1,500 in May and not winning anything.


I did not log in again until August 2021. I recently upped my level of play depositing amounts between £100- £1,000 and winning various amounts. However, on Friday the 19th of November, I deposited a total of £1,700 into my 32red account (initially £700 followed by £1,000) and won playing on roulette. I requested 2 withdrawals on the 19th of November, the first for £4,500 and the second for £1,500 and logged out of my account. I later logged back in and got a message along the lines that I have been prohibited from making further deposits. Notwithstanding, I continued playing as I had funds leftover in my account and did not need to deposit anymore funds. I won a few more hundred pounds and logged off for the night.


I logged back in on the morning of Saturday the 20th of November still getting the message prohibiting deposits but was allowed to play. I won between £500-£600 and logged off. When I tried logging on again later the same day, I got a message saying that my account had been locked. I called 32red and was advised that an email had been sent to me on the night of Friday the 19th of November requesting various documentation and until the receipt of the said documentation, my account will remain locked. When I enquired about my requested withdrawals, I was told that none of my funds will be released until receipt of the requested documentation and completion of 32reds review.


I sent the requested documentation electronically to 32red on Monday the 22nd of November via email timed at 11:18am and 14:17 respectively. I sent a further email on Monday the 22nd timed at 16:17 requesting confirmation that I had now supplied all requested documentation and to be given an indication of how long the process will take but got no response. I sent a further email on Tuesday the 23rd of November timed at 10:43am saying that it would be helpful and courteous to get a response to my email of Monday the 22nd of November timed at 16:17 but still got no response to date.


I have called the customer support team on three separate occasions but they have not been able to give any information other than that the matter is being dealt with by the relevant team who will get back to me once they have completed their review but they are unable to shed any light as to when this will be.


I subsequently got various emails from the support team apologising for the delay in responding to my earlier emails but 32red are unwilling to give any indication of how long the process will take. Today is exactly 7 days since I sent 32red the requested documents which they have confirmed receiving but still review is pending in a queue and funds will not be released until review has been completed when this will be is unknown.


The situation has left me frustrated and furious as 32red are holding onto my funds totalling just over £8,000. They have not provided me with any indication of how long the process will take or when they will release my funds.


Whilst I appreciate the rationale behind the account verification process i.e., for money laundering and social responsibility checks particularly in light of 32red being hit with a £2m penalty for failing to protect a problem gambler. But to leave me in abeyance whilst holding onto my money is unacceptable.


32red have had ample opportunity to undertake checks on me but only sought to do so after a large win giving the impression that they do not want to pay out large wins.


All I want is for 32red to complete their checks and release my funds.
