Casino.com Refusing to Payout

Dear Askgamblers,

I recently signed up to Casino.com and claimed a "£20 NO DEPOSIT BONUS'. After winning £200, a relatively small amount, I attempted to withdraw the money (bare in mind I had to play through a large wager before I could. Given that the bonus was free I expected it to be difficult to win any real money. However, when I did win, I did not expect it to be difficult to withdraw my winnings.

Having won, I attempted to withdraw the £200 from my account using the visa option. They then asked me to deposit money in order to withdraw. I thought this was very cheeky but understandable so I transferred the £20. They then told me the funds were pending.

Following this I received an email requesting I send documents for verification.

I sent a passport photo, a picture of my debit card which I used (front-back) as well as my tenancy agreement to prove my address. All of this is stated on their withdrawal policy so I obliged and sent the information.

I then however received and email requesting I send a notarised copy of my passport to a POBOX in Gibraltar. The only reason anyone would ever need a notarised copy is surely if they are applying for a bank loan or mortgage. I am from the United Kingdom so as you can imagine I have extreme reservations about sending important documents to a random POBOX in Gibraltar, regardless of the fact the company is supposedly based there. I am unaware of Gibraltar gambling laws so it strikes me that the company have given me no reassurance that my details will not be used by third parties.

I have sent them copious emails requesting they explain why a notarised copy of my passport is required as they have all the relevant information to make a transfer back to me (as I have already transferred money to them) but they are yet to give me an answer and are ignoring my emails. I have since spoke to a woman on the phone who said she was "surprised" that they were asking for a notarised passport from me and yet she still failed to give me a solution. She said she would pass it onto the relevant department.

The email I then got seemed extremely generic, as if they had not listened to anything I had written in my emails or said over the phone, explaining that I would need to send all the documents again.

This seems incredibly dodgy if you ask me and I extremely apprehensive about sending them any other information. I am in the process of contacting trading standards to see my position. It strikes me that they would need such stringent security measures for the withdrawal of £200 and I fail to believe the company's legitimacy.

I would very much appreciate someone's help and advice as to what I should do.

Thank you.

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.
