support is declining big time

I dont usually write a review about anything but I felt very frustrated and disappointed with 32red that made me look for some sites to write reviews! I have played at this casino for almost 5 years now. I'm a VIP player at 32red. I liked the casino for their customer service and their generosity. If I had a bad run, they would help. If I deposited too much, they would help. It was a matter of just asking for a little help! Support was great! Emails responded to almost momentarily! Live chat 24/7 and phones almost always answered quickly.

In August of last year I noticed things getting tighter and support declining. I decided to close my account and stopped playing for 4 months. I then decided maybe things have changed so I decided to reopen my account.

That was back in Dec and have now decided to close my account again.

Amounts deposited to date: $289,442.84

Reason: Huge delays in emails response time. The explanation is Friday nights are their busy time but getting a response the next day or sending an email in the morning and receiving response on afternoon time after time just shows the support is declining.

I made a withdrawal request of about over $3000 last month which took too long to process and after a long time getting response from the payments team that their not able to withdraw to the credit card I registered. Took so long I was tempted to reverse it all.

Rejecting free chips as a goodwill gesture is non existent with 32red lately. They can come up with almost any reason not to offer you one. If you had a bad day their response but you had a good moth. If you had a bad month, their response but you had a good 2 months and so forth.

If you complain about your bonuses versus deposit ratio, they will say yes you have deposited quiet a bit but we have matched your deposits 50% in the past 6 months!!! Whichever figures is more attractive to tell you sorry you dont deserve a bonus!

Account closure requests take 48-72 hours as only a pit boss or a team leader is able to do this (scrolling down to the title of the rep sending the email says pit boss).

There are many more complains but this is all I'm going to say right now.

Again, I have never complained to any casinos but felt a bit frustrated after being treated as a VIP player depositing well over $289000 and treated poorly lately.

On Thursday Feb 13th there was a promotion of 20% match deposit at 32red. I went ahead and made a deposit just like everyday. I only play on my iPhone and all of the customer reps at 32red know this by now. After the deposit I went to the promotional page to claim my bonus as usual but everytime I clicked on "Claim" it would say sorry your balance is not sufficient for a bonus. Now the claim button only comes up once you have deposited otherwise it would only have one button "Deposit here". So after 5 or 6 tries logging off and logging back on to a phone (which on an iPhone takes 3 min just to log on), i decided to send an email instead to get my bonus. Btw, you can't use live chat on 32red mobile. After waiting impatienly to receive my bonus, logging on and off the app I started playing with my deposit. As a VIP players you are allowed to do this. After about an hour or so I lost my deposit and still haven't received my bonus so I send another email asking where my bonus is? I get a response later that "Today's bonus is 20% and to inform them once I make my deposit". I am quiet frustrated at this point since the rep knows Im asking for my bonus how could he not check to see if I had deposited yet or not before sending an email informing me of todays bonus?

So I send a response asking for my bonus again! No response.

I send a 4th email.... I get a response that daytimes are the busiest times so if its urgent I need to use Live chat. Reason for not adding the bonus: i had a cash balance and he/she did not want to add unnecessary playthrough!

I log on 32 App---> still no bonus!

I send 5th email questioning what is going on??? Why am I not getting my bonus?

No response!

Send another email letting them know how frustrated I am right now!

I get a response that management has now authorized 20% match as a goodwill gesture!

I forwarded all the email correspondents to the player support manager who earlier said they are taking measures to solve these issues. I didnt hear back from the manager but after following up with them again I got a response from a team leader informing me that the manager has been in back to back meetings so the team leader will look into the events and get back to me.

I got a response from the team leader that reviewing the events, he didnt see any issue so there would be no further actions!

I sent a reply explaining the situation again.

No response!

I send another email asking for feedback 5 AM london time. They said its early in the AM but when management gets in they will contact me!

7:00 PM London time no response so i follow up! Management has left for the day now but you need to wait 72 hours!

This started feb 13th, it is Feb 19! 144 hours!

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.
