Complaint #489 Cool Cat Casino

Account closed for no reason after depositing and cashing out winnings

By Chris S.

6 years ago

Hi, my name is Christopher < surname removed > and have had my account shut down for absolutely no reason with a pending withdrawal. I found the site on a list of casino bonuses and signed up with their great welcome bonus. To my surprise, I actually ended up winning, cashed out for I think $400 and kept playing. I eventually got up more, cashed out $955 total and submitted my verification documents while I waited for approval. When I checked today to see if there was an update, I found I couldn't log in and was told my live support that my account was closed due to their fair gaming policy. I played for about 3 hours on my cell phone and won completely fair and square. I'm not sure what gives them any reason to think I cheated as I don't have multiple accounts and certainly didn't use any sort of cheating software. I've read an absurd number of complaints similar to mine and know this company has a well documented history of pulling this sort of thing with countless customers. The only evidence I have are my documents I submitted and the emails telling me my cashout request was recieved but it doesn't even specify the amount as it's an auto-generated email whenever you cashout. These people are crooks and I can't believe they're allowed to still operate after all I've read about them.

Hi Chris--

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

Unfortunately, you are not entitled to your winnings, as you breached the terms of the coupon you used. Our terms and conditions are quite clear with this:

https://www.coolcat-casino.com/about/terms-conditions.php

All Deposit Bonuses: Standard Wagering Requirements

10. No Play/ No Max bonuses: Unless otherwise stated, No Play/ No Max bonuses may only be used to play Slots, Keno, Bingo, and Scratch Card games. All other casino games are prohibited and restricted.

11. Playing a prohibited or restricted game while using a bonus will void any winnings generated during the use of a said bonus. These terms are valid and applicable even after the playthrough requirement has been met. All Deposit Bonuses for Slots and Keno with No Restrictions (No Playthrough and No Max Cash-Out) come with our software minimum of 1X playthrough (deposit + bonus amount) before the funds can be withdrawn.

--

In your case, more than 40% of your play was with Tri-Card poker, which goes against the terms of the coupon. As such, your winnings were voided and your deposit amount was sent off to be refunded.

I've sent all evidence to AskGamblers management to confirm the accuracy of my statement.

Do you know who else I can take this up with? They're clearly ignoring my case, which seems to be there MO. I know it's not a lot of money but how do they get away with this and continue to operate? Penalties should be much more severe than a bad star rating, in my opinion. Again, I've done nothing wrong and they can just close my account, steal my winnings as well as my initial deposit? It's absurd.

Dear @smokinbudda9,

Kindly note that should the affected casino operator fail to respond to your complaint within the allocated timeframe of 96 hours, the case will be closed as unresolved. As a direct consequence of such closure, the operator's ranking score on AskGamblers will be decreased accordingly.

The AskGamblers Complaint Team would also like to use this opportunity to remind you that, if your AGCCS case failed as unresolved, you are still free to try and use other alleys to resolve the issue, such as forwarding the matter in front of the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

Payment being delayed repeatedly

I requested a $2,000 withdrawal on April 6th with coindraw. During that week prior, I had spent nearly one thousand dollars at this casino. I had recently become a v I p member and for reasons not disclosed, one day before the deadline of them approving my withdrawal, they deducted my vip status. They then made me cancel my first withdrawal.Because coin draw is not available to those who are not vip. So I canceled my withdrawal and requested it again on april tenth in the amount of seventeen hundred dollars. After the deadline of 10 days had come and gone without payment, I contacted the representatives and had this issue Escalated. After another ten day deadline, it had still not been paid so they requested another escalation. They told me they had 24 to seventy two hours and that this issue would be resolved.However the seventy two hours had come and gone without resolution, and I contacted them yet again. This time, the response was, they would respond to me by friday. And then sent an email telling me that it would be another 7 to ten days and that it was being reviewed. Mind you this withdrawal had already been reviewed and approved after the first escalation had come and gone.

I have try to contact people in chat and I keep getting the same runaround answers. They keep telling me they escalated it. I'm highlighted for the soonest payment. And I was supposed to be paid in the next batch of payments yet now I find myself waiting for another review and another 7 to ten days, in which case they'll just make me escalate it again and wait another 24 to 76 hours.

I sincerely just would like the amount approved Initially over a month ago but thus far have been refused help and refused connect me to a supervisor or anybody else in the payment division

Been trying to request my winnings here for 4 months

I requested my winnings here October 13th, 2025. On October 16th they denied it even though I had already been verified in the past, they said I needed to send again my ID, a proof of address , and a bank statement, so I did. After this, they said that the bank statement needed to show more activity so I waited a month and sent them a new one that showed 11 transactions. They sent an email saying that they didn't accept the bank statement because it needed to show at least 15 transactions so I waited another month and sent them the new statement with 17 transactions. They sent an email saying that the bank statement didn't have enough activity so I pointed out to them that it had 17 transactions which was more than the 15 they had said was needed.

I received an email on January 9th, 2026 that said that they were please to inform me that all my documents were reviewed and verified. I went on chat on January 10th to escalate my withdrawal now that they finally had verified the documents, to my surprise I got another e mail today saying that I needed to send a bank statement with more activity. This has gone on for more than 4 months already and is ridiculous. I need your help!

Fraud No Refund

Account Closed 1 Day After Taking $10 LTC – Fraud – No Refund Full Story:

Nov 11: I requested a withdrawal.

Support demanded $10 Litecoin (LTC) to process – I sent it immediately.

Nov 12: Account locked with zero warning.

Support sent 2 identical emails: “closed at our discretion” – no reason, no refund.

I demanded explanation + full balance + $10 LTC back – they ignored.

This is fraud: They took my $10 LTC, then closed my account to avoid payout.

Not paid for 6 months

I am concerned about what is occurring with my Cool Cat casino win.

I withdrew to my bitcoin ten times over the past six months, beginning October last year.

I've waited and waited as they were pending, but they have not been paid so far.

The total unpaid withdrawals are $21,000 (print 1 and 2).

In my profile, the account is approved, and I've received nothing from Cool Cat.

Can you help get this sorted please?

Same as silver oak. Made a withdrawal four weeks ago and have heard nothing. Went through full verification and got confirmation all that was done, but nothing has happened.

The homepage of the site says they processed withdrawals in 24 hours and it has been four weeks. Can someone please help me figure out what’s going on?

Waiting too long for payout

I have even chatted with my casino host to get the same response. Definitely way past their timeframe they put on the web page. I would just like to be payed any help appreciated

Delayed payments Cool Cat December 24

I’ve been waiting on an approved payment since 12/23 for $250 and another one that hasn’t been approved yet but requested on 12/21 for $250 as well. They were both requested to be paid via bitcoin. I’m shocked that even after approval of a BTC payment it’s still not paid. I haven’t played here in over a year because of such delayed payments and clearly things haven’t changed at all.

Withdrawal long processing time

Submitted withdrawal request on 10/29/24 at 12:36 am, still in pending status. Says it usually takes 7-10 business days, it's been well beyond that time.

My information has been verified and my documents verified. I've had withdrawals from here over the years but my last 2 withdrawal requests have met with lengthy delays and only got resolved once I opened a complaint. When I chat with support they say they escalated, etc., and that it will be 7-10 days again.

Withdrawal and payout issue

Withdrawal and payout issue $2500

Hello. Hoping someone can help get this resolved. I've never had an issue with withdrawals in the past from here but it has been over a month since my initial withdrawal request.

I submitted a withdrawal request on August 16. On Sept 3rd, my request still showed $2500 pending so I contacted support via chat (transcript attached). Long story short, he said I needed to verify the bitcoin address or provide a new one, which I did. He updated it and sent it to the escalation department. I asked and he said the 7-10 day withdrawal process would not start over but the following email seems to show it did.

The next day, Sept 4, I received a confirmation email stating "YAY your payment will arrive shortly" but it also said it would arrive in 7-10 business days. It also no longer shows the $2500 as pending and it is gone from my CoolCat account so i figured it's processing.

Today, Sept 19, it's been more than 7-10 business days since I received that email and still have not received my payout. Overall, it's been over 30 days since my initial request.

My account is verified and have made withdrawals in the past without issue. Very disappointing experience.
