Bonus farce and withdrawal nightmare


Dear Sir/Ma'am...

I have played several online casino's with no real problems. However Casino.com has provided me with cause to complain.

I made an initial deposit of £200..and was given a £150 bonus. Which meant I had to achieve a target wager (amount unknown till I attempted to withdrawer). Then you get to see the amount still outstanding. So I played on till I got down to zero. Attempted to withdrawer £600. DECLINED. Reason - They needed my ID docs sending thru to them.

So I sent copies of:Passport, 3 months utilities and copy of my credit card, back and front. Next day they respond...did not receive your docs. So I send again. They also contact me to say withdrawal DECLINED. Bonus target not reached! I emailed and said my wager level went down to zero.

It was now up to several thousand! They had awarded me another bonus unknown to me. So I played some more. Attempted to withdrawer £300. DECLINED. They said they still did not get my ID docs. So I send again(third time). I now get a reply saying. They need them in color! And that may not be enough! I have suggested to them..a copy of my DNA! I would be very grateful if you look at this for me...Has this casino come up before for similar problems.

Sincerely,

Our support tried calling the member the other day and as they could not get in touch with him they explained the Bonus and Withdrawal Terms and Conditions and they also provided the member with links and directions to get to the information on the website.

After contacting the member regarding this, he replied to their e-mail requesting for his withdrawal to be cancelled so he could carry on playing.

They are unsure as to what further action to take with this member as he has been informed in many occasions of the Terms and Conditions of Casino.com.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hi, this is honeypot, ref. the replies from Casino.com.

Their system of bonus I find totally confusing. Which I imagine is designed that way for that purpose. However on July 18th I received an e-mail from them. Sender Elio C. I had £600 in my balance, and was told all my wagering totals were met, and that I could withdrawer whatever I wished. I cashed out £600 but like 3 times previously you guessed it. DECLINED! I have given up! I played on till I lost all. So in this instance Casino.com 1 : player 0. I guess you live and learn.

honeypot.

PS: Thank you for looking at it for me. I do appreciate it.

Hi there,

My colleague from support reviewed your case thoroughly and advised the following:


I made an initial deposit of £200..and was given a £150 bonus. Which meant I had to achieve a target wager (amount unknown till I attempted to withdrawer).

Our bonus policy can be found on our website along with all wagering requirements for the bonus. Every member has to agree to the terms and conditions which entail the bonus policy as well. (ONLY your First Deposit bonus is a redeemable casino bonus. To redeem this casino bonus, you must wager a minimum of 40 times the bonus amount.


They needed my ID docs....

Also this is covered in the terms and conditions the member agreed upon sign up. Our policy is in place to protect players against online fraud and therefore requires that Casino.com members may be required to verify their identity before a cash withdrawal is made. Most of our members welcome our strict security procedures as they are there to safeguard their deposits, prevent money laundering and any other fraudulent activity in our casino.


They had awarded me another bonus unknown to me.

The majority of our members appreciate our bonus awards. In cases where the bonus is not wanted we can remove the bonus if it has not been played and we can also set the member’s account so that no further bonuses will be credited. How the bonus credit was unknown to the member is beyond me as the difference between deposit and current bankroll should have alerted the member at least.

With regards to his documents: The member made his first withdrawal request on 14-07-10 and we received his first email with docs attached only 3 days later. Why he is claiming that he has sent them the same or the next day I am not sure but maybe it was a technical error in his or our email system. I cannot verify that. Unfortunately some of the docs he has sent were of inferior quality and were as a result not accept by our security department. Also some of the crucial details we need to see in these documents were blanked out (credit card not signed, certain digits blanked out).


Best, Michel

Hi,

This is what I just received from our support:

I tried calling the member to explain to him why he is unable to withdraw funds from his account and also to advise him that his account is now verified as we have received all docs from him, however, there was no answer from him.

I have contacted the member via e-mail and explained everything to him, I have also provided him with links to the Bonus Terms and Conditions so he could see that the bonus Terms and Conditions are on the website.

As I was unable to speak to him, I have asked him to provide a telephone number and suitable time for us to call if he wishes to discuss this over the telephone.

Thanks,

Keira

Slow verification and waiting for my withdrawal 15 days already

UK/ So I signed up to casino.com on Friday 1st of July 2022. Deposited £20 and won £150 I requested for it to be withdrawn same day. I checked again and was still pending. 6 days later I did try the online verification but clearly didn’t work.

I then contacted them via the live chat 7/07/22 live chat took from 15:47 to 16:47 spoke to 2 different people (was an issue with my email address, accidentally spelt @hotmail.com as @hitmail.com) I then had a phone call to change this with an intrusive phone call with every single detail of my personal details. After the phone call I was told to send my details via email would take 48 hours to be verified and paid, next day Ian replied saying they got everything, then on the 12/07/22 I asked what’s taking so long. So they accepted my bank card but not my driving license or council tax bill (surely if it wasn’t accepted they’d let me know sooner but didn’t)

Next day 13/07/22 I sent a water bill and my driving license in Clear view. Now I won’t know till at least Monday if these have been accepted… It’s taken 2 weeks and a phone call, 2 live chats and 11 emails to try and get my funds, (I have the live chats screen recorded, phone call evidence and the emails) it shouldn’t be this difficult to get paid. I’ve asked to speak to complaints to be ignored twice and always receive an automatic reply ie thanks for sending details we’ll let you know in 48hrs etc

Also upon checking my credit file, which I do every month, they’ve done a soft search on the 1/07/22 so they clearly know I’m a legit person. They also won’t tell me why they’ve searched me. I’ve never had this done by any other casino (I personally find it odd).

I’ve also now had other casinos soft search me since even though I haven’t signed up to them.

Easy to deposit and impossible to withdraw

I made a deposit on casino.com using my Revolut virtual VISA card, which was no problem. I won and finished the terms of condition for the bonus and landed on 28700 NOK which is around 2870 euro. This is when I first attempted to withdraw my money (23rd of July). Following just the regular process, I was asked to verify my account, they approved documents and I tried to trigger a withdraw again. They declined it claiming I cannot withdraw more than what I first deposited with my card (which was 2000 NOK). I spent an hour talking to support to figure out why but I never received a good explanation, just that I should try again, with 2000 NOK. This was also declined with this explanation from support(copied from chat)

"I see here the withdrawal failed because your CC7212 is not supported in Credit Fund Transfer, so our finance department advised if you can request the withdrawal via a different payment method so we can process it".

This is a straight up lie since I've made deposits on other sites and got my withdraw through my card details. I tried explaining this but they just simply denied that it was possible. I tried to make a new deposit with my mastercard instead. Unfortunately they don¨t take mastercard, customers support replied. They then adviced me that the only way possible for them is to send money through ecopayz. Unfortunately ecopayz is banned in norway and I'm norwegian. :)

So.

This site doesn't accept VISA, Mastercard or bank transfer to withdraw money (only to deposit). Chat makes you wait 10 minutes between every message and they straight up lie. I know my card supports Credit fund transfer since I used it on more than 3 different sites successfully after casino.com told me it doesn't.

I find no way of withdrawing my money, they told me that they would contact me if like a new method to withdraw funds is presented but since it's been about 2 months now I have no hope of ever getting my money.

Avoid this site at all cost they will never let you withdraw any money you deposit.
