Failed to respect with my request for cool off period, stalling payments


Hi.
I had 720€ withdrawals on my account when I asked for cool off period.
I clearly stated that I might have a problem with my gambling and I might reverse my withdrawals and lose them.
I asked for 7 day cool off period, but I got denied as the chat support said: " We cant close your account for 7 days as you have pending withdrawals. Please wait for our financial department to process them first. "
That made me worried and I complied saying that I will try my best not to reverse and play with my withdrawals.
Well, today I lost control and lost a total of 280€ because I reversed my withdraw and played it.
I still have 500€ pending and I am afraid.
Is it legal for casino to not offer cool off period while having pending withdrawals when the player is clearly afraid of his own gambling?
Also their 0-24h withdrawal process time is in their working hours, not normal hours. They work 9:00-18:00 GMT a day ( excluding weekends ) so it might take long for me to get my withdraw. Feels like a scam.
I feel like I am justified to get my whole 720€ withdrawn ( 500€ still pending and 220€ separate withdraw that I lost) as they failed at the responsible gaming system.

Hi AlfCasino.
Thank you for your reply and withdrawal process.
I hope that in the future, you will have an option to have a cool-off option while having pending withdrawals, or an option to make it impossible to reverse withdrawals.
I still kinda feel bitter as this could have gone terribly wrong on my side, but I got lucky.
Also I am still wondering if it is okay in term of responsible gaming to not offer cool-off period while having pending withdrawals..
I feel like this complaint can be marked as resolved.

However, we are always ready to provide you with the links to applications which can restrict your access to the gambling projects.

Refuses to complete account verification and blocks withdrawal of 1676e balance

My name is < full name removed due to the privacy>, and on August 8, 2025, I won a total of €2,176 at AlfCasino while playing with their welcome bonus. After completing the wagering requirements, I successfully withdrew €500 (the daily withdrawal limit).

When I requested another €500 withdrawal, the casino required account verification. I submitted all requested documents, but there has been a long and unreasonable delay.

The casino asked for a bank statement from 15.7.2025–15.8.2025, even though the bank account I deposited from was only opened on 5.8.2025. I explained this multiple times, provided official proof of when the account was created, and submitted a bank statement covering 5.8.2025–15.8.2025 — the only possible range.

Despite that, they kept rejecting my documents, giving mixed instructions (first to upload via site, then by email). After several weeks, they finally accepted the documents for review. That was over two weeks ago, and nothing has happened since. They no longer reply to my emails, and my account remains “under verification.”

This has now taken over 2.5 months in total. I have €1,676 remaining in my account balance, which I cannot withdraw because the verification is not completed.

I will provide:

Proof of my remaining balance (€1,676)

Proof that my account is still under verification

Screenshots of my chats with the casino (in Finnish and translated to English)

AskGamblers, please help me resolve this. I have cooperated fully, provided every possible document, and yet the casino refuses to finalize verification and release my winnings.

Kind regards,
