Delaying Payment of my Winnings

I spent so long looking for a legitimate, trustworthy RTG casino as I like their games but also know there are so many untrustworthy casinos out there. I finally settled for Sun Palace casino. After only a couple of weeks I won an amazing $10,000! Well, that was over 2 months ago now and I am still waiting for my money. First they tell me that because i am a new player i can only have a max of $1000 a week paid to me (which i couldn't find anywhere in the t&c's). Then after only 3 payments, the weekly instalments are no longer weekly, it has been over 2 weeks since any of my winnings has been paid to me. I am still owed $7000 and when I speak with the finance dept online about this problem, their response is "you will be paid, we just don't know when" or "there are delays with payments and we don't know when it will be fixed". Noone can tell me when my next payment will be or even how much it will be. I have sent emails to customer support and have had no response at all and noone on the 24/7 chat has any answers for me. If you're the kind of player that can put their money in a casino and be happy that whatever you win will be 'eventually' paid to you, but no clue as to when, then this is the casino for you! As for me, I just want an honest casino that when they say "withdrawals can take up to 2 weeks", they honour it.

Trying To Void Legitimate Winnings

Having Played various casinos, I wanted to play one with RTG games so I chose Sun Palace Casino. I made a minimum $25 cash deposit with no bonuses as I like to play with no “strings attached”. The last few spins on 3 Stooges part 2. I won the $383.00 jackpot. I immediately cashed out and received a letter asking for my license and copy of my bank statement. I received the following:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Thank you for contacting us! It is a pleasure to be of your assistance.

This email is to inform you that we successfully received all the documents you sent.

Your withdrawal request is pending now, once it is in Security Department you will receive a phone call of verification from us.

A few hours later I received this letter:

Payout Request Declined

Dear < personal info removed >,

We're sorry, but your MailCheck payout request of $ 390.00 USD for Account ID shoedog20 has been declined.

We thank you for your continued business and are always available if you should have any questions.

Note that they did not give any reason for the decline. I replied back asking for a reason and they claimed they didn’t receive my $25 payment due to a glitch with their processor. So how was I allowed to play? After challenging that I received this confusing letter:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Greetings from MainStreet Vegas Group!

We have just learned from our processor that your initial $25.00 deposit did not go through from your Visa card -9733 and it produced winnings.

In order to honor your payout, please proceed to deposit such amount (this deposit must be valid and duly confirmed by us). Else please provide evidence (banking statement) that the deposit in question was charged to your credit card. Unfortunately, by no circumstances we can deduct it from your winnings; that are also limited to a maximum of 5 times the credit amount used to produce them.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance four your cooperation in this matter.

Best Regards,

Alx

I checked with my bank and the deposit went through and was deducted from my account. Finally I got this letter confusing me even more:

Dear Alan,

Thanks for contacting us, in this case as the previous email said, from our end the transaction seems to be decline, now sometimes the

transaction might appear in your card, as pending transaction but this is totally normal and the money should be returning to your account

automatically in around 3-5 days depending on the bank.

For any other question please feel free to contact us via live chat.

It’s obvious to me they are trying to void a legitimate win. any help you can give me would be appreciated.
