I would like it to be known off the bat that Drake casino, to my knowledge is NOT a rogue Casino!! It is a very good Casino and I did NOT want to file a complaint originally! I would like it to be known that I would not be filing this complaint had support at Drake casino been more willing to help. It is now the 14th business day and 21 days after I initiated a withdrawal at Drake Casino. Around the 7th business day or so I began to contact Drake Casino support as I was becoming worried about my bank wire withdrawal taking so long. I read online that Jay Drake Casinos manager said that it usually doesn't take longer than a week. So for days I would go to support asking for a wire trace to be initiated, but was only told that everything was ok and that they would not initiate a wire trace. At one point I was told by one member of support that they would initiate a wire trace by the 10th business day if I had not received the money in my account by then. The 10th business day came and Drake casino would not honor what "Kelly" from support said as it was still within the 12 business days. The next day (11th business day) I took it upon myself to ask Drake Casino Payouts team if they could check the info the wire transfer was sent to and let me know what the info was. Drake casino payouts team checked and sent me the info the wire withdrawal was sent to but with the response: was the info correct for an INTERNATIONAL wire?

I was sure it was as I had withdrew from Winaday casino on several occasions international bank wires with just such info. But I double checked with my banks wire department just to be safe and sure enough: the routing number I used was my local routing number and there was a special international routing number for international wire transfers.

I quickly contacted Drake Casino with this info as well as the proper Routing number and was told that their third party bankers would send the money back to the casino if it was the wrong info. I checked this Monday the 22nd and Drake casino stated that their third party bankers had received the funds back but that I would have to wait till the funds were returned to Drake Casino, and then they would be returned to my Drake Casino account, and then I could initiate another Wire withdrawal!! And wait another possible 12 days!!

Drake casino support has not been very friendly or helpful throughout this ordeal. I was told at one point that my fee of $60 for the wire transfer withdrawal would be refunded but then was later told that I was not going to pay for the returned money but that the full $2793 I won would be put back in my casino account. Why should I pay for a returned fee, or even the $60 fee after waiting so long and not getting my money!? I was not aware that the bank wire was an international one or that my local routing number wouldn't work (as I said Winaday Casino had sent me several international wire transfers to my local routing number). In short I would like my money already, service with Drake has been poor and it had now been about 3 weeks and no one can tell me how much longer this will take!? In the meantime, money that I counted on days ago, won't be here for at least a week at earliest!! I do not understand why Drake has to wait to receive their funds before refunding me, if their bank has the funds as they state and are sending the funds to Drake Casino shouldn't they just resend the wire to the correct info?! In the meantime I have to wait longer just so Drake can get their money!! 3 weeks so far and no money, I only hope that my money comes in soon!! And no Drake Casino to my knowledge is not a Rogue casino, they are just a good casino with a poor attempt at helping a very odd situation that could not have been foreseen!!

Dear Berb777,

I ask to have this reopened as we did not get the chance last week to respond properly. That’s a result of an access issue to this site on our side which I have now resolved. I’m sorry about that.

As we communicated last week, the original bank wire we sent you was sent back to us as failed. I mentioned we would have this information back on October 1st and we did. The processor who sent the wire confirmed that you had provided us with incorrect information, as you stated to us originally.

Our team attempted to contact you on that date and when we couldn’t, we placed the entire amount of $2,733.17 back into your account so you could request another withdrawal and provide us with the correct details to send to. Unfortunately, you played the entire amount and then proceeded to contact us to complain that the funds still had not reached your account.

Had you resubmitted your withdrawal request along with the correct details, we would have worked to expedite it and ensure you had received it as we have with the other customers who have brought withdrawal issues to our attention.

In closing I’d like to just mention that you will receive a rebate tomorrow morning as part of our Tuesday casino rebate promotion. Every week we credit 10% of your casino losses from the previous week net bonuses. You’re welcome to play or withdraw these funds as they don’t contain wagering requirements.

Again, I’m sorry for the poor service experience you received but with the funds now gone, we cannot assist you further with your withdrawal request.

Sincerely,
Jay

RoGUE CASINO!!! DONT EVER PLAY HERE IF YOU WISH TO GET PAID!!!! After checking back with my banks wire department today they assured me that with the local routing number I originally provided that the international wire should of gone through a long time ago!! Snake Casino (Drake casino) is just that a bunch of snakes, DONT EVER play there seriously!!! I gave them the benefit of the doubt cuz they are a NEW CASINO but they will get what's coming to them!! Once people realize that they are not legit people will stop playing there!! So frustrating I cannot even begin to describe!! I waited 4 weeks for nothing! Liars!!!

Deliberately dragging their feet for weeks on a $1,120 withdrawal

Ok first if all Id like to say that I love online gambling. I probably gamble on at least 150+ different sites. I'm very familiar with their guidelines for verifying identity and withdrawal processes. But, when you know without a shadow of a doubt that one is operating outside of the legal guidelines then it's something that people need to be aware of. With that being said, I have cashed out thousands of dollars from many many online casinos and there appears to be some red tape from time to time with them here and there. However, most casinos are simply wanting a piece of information to close the issue do they can begin the withdrawal process for you. Now, Drake Casino on the other hand tried every single thing they could try to come up with to avoid letting me receive $1,120.00 of winnings I earned. I mean they gave me the runaround and lied to me so many times that it was insane. Too many issues and lies to even count. They would say that they just needed this one more thing and the money would be transferred at least 20 different times. I'd fulfill the document request and they would approve it and then try n come up with something else. They had told me every day that my money would be there today for over 3 weeks. Then after that 3 weeks if lying to me every day they sent me an email saying they had just bank wired it and to give it at least 12 full business days before I consider it late. I had big plans for that money for me and my 3 son's that I raise all by myself. I wanted to show them a really great weekend and buy them some things they liked as well. Unfortunately, I've had to put off that great weekend over 3 times to them and watched their faces be sad for all those 3 weekends. My heart goes out to these little guys cuz they have patiently waited as much as they can and I know it's breaking their hearts. I believe the Drake Casino may be drawing quite a bit of interest off of people's money by the longer they can hold onto it. I know many places do but when it is owed legitimately by a paying customer who jumped every hoop on top of working hard to win in the first place, it's time to pay up! Because of this matter, I got ahold of the gaming Commisioner in hopes of possibly someone investigating this matter but he informed me that they weren't really taking complaints and he has just got into the position so it would be quite sometime before they even considered it. So, as I sit here on yet my 4th Saturday of the 4th weekend awaiting still for this bank wire if $1120. That I may never get , I want people to know about Drake Casino and their poor poor customer service on withdrawals so that it might not ever happen to them. My advice is simply this, do not use your hard earned money on Drake Casino! You will be forever sorry and be unhappy with the return of it. They are very dishonest and scandalous , not to mention greedy and disrespectful to the hardworking middle class American!!! Ty

Giving me the runaround with a $100 withdrawal

So basically i won a free entry tournament, ($500) and i was told i can only withdraw $100 because i have never deposited.

So i read the terms & conditions under the tournament description, and it states “max withdrawals for nondeposit players is $160”

So i then contact them vis email and ask why i can only withdraw $100, and they explained that $40 is for the wire transfer fee.

Okay, so then i asked what about the other $20?

And the rep said $60 is the old fee, it is now $40. So basically i cant withdraw $120. And shes going to look into the error on their website and fix $160 to $140.

I feel like i should get $120. Not my fault there was an error.

So anyways, since i never deposited in the past, my only option for a withdrawal is bank transfer.

Max wait time to receive a withdrawal via bank wire is “12 business days”

I got an email on April 27,2020 saying my withdrawal was processed.

It is now May 15, 2020, and day 15, and earlier today i was told i was going to get it “supposedly today or tomorrow” - said by the rep on live chat.

(By the way, i had to deposit today to even get access to the live chat feature, so i can ask about my withdrawal)

Bank wires dont get processed on weekends. So what the heck!

Its only $100 . I SHOULD be getting $120 to be honest.

12 days is long enough. And now the weekend is here and im pretty sure i still wont get anything from Drake Casino on Monday.

Worst withdrawal ive had thus far in my online casino experiences.
