Delayed diamond VIP 24 hour withdrawal timeline

I requested a withdrawal of $9999.99 on 2/20 and have yet to receive any payout. I previously told the chat agent that I would not be buying in further until I could withdraw my full balance (around $50k at the time), and the agent said that if I reach diamond it would be much faster to withdraw using the Diamond VIP 24 hour redemption structure vs. waiting for 5 withdraws at the Platinum VIP level ($50k spend).

Wanting my money sooner and seeing that the website had a good Trustpilot score, I gave in and purchased enough to reach a $100k+ balance and received Diamond VIP, which states 24-hour withdrawal timing as a primary benefit. The chat support said I could call their toll-free number to ask about verification, and after calling support, they told me that they need to do a phone verification, which could take 14 days (currently day 7 since withdrawal). They said that their number isn't the phone verification and that they cannot provide the phone number for the verification team - I would have to wait for them to reach out rather than vice versa which does not make sense to me given that the website and chat agent say 24 hour withdrawals + the fact that I previously requested and received a gift card redemption. I assumed that having a previous redemption go through and having my account show a green check mark saying verified means that I am verified.

I am concerned that I may have close to 6 figures at risk of unwithdrawability and am becoming seriously concerned as my credit card bill is coming up soon next month - I only put in enough such that I knew I could withdraw and cover my payment comfortably, but I am becoming concerned due to the vague answers around timing from the DDD team. I am also concerned that this may be delayed until my Diamond VIP expires and then may be at risk of no longer having the 24-hour withdrawal status, given that I will not buy in more money until I am sure my initial buy-in is safe. I want to maintain Diamond VIP, but it is difficult to support putting in more purchases if I don't know whether or not my redemptions will go through now.

I do not want to complain about this site as the games have been fun, and I have done well across a variety of games I have never played before, but unless my fears can be alleviated, I am highly concerned about the status and safety of my money. I want to be able to receive my 24-hour withdrawals, and that would solve my complaint.

It is now business day 9 with no redemptions having hit my account. ~$40k outstanding in withdrawals. I wish this were not the case, as this was truly a fun casino to play on (probably the best interface as well).

It is now the 8th business day, and my first withdrawal has not arrived in my account despite being told 3-7 business days is the timeframe to reflect in my account (despite Diamond VIP status stating 24-hour withdrawal time). This is beginning to look like fraud to me - I was lured into spending $100k+ with the assurance that I would receive 24 hour withdrawals once I hit that mark (+ a direct benefit listed as "24 Hours Redemption Process" on my account), but it has now been 5 days since reaching Diamond status without a cent redeemed from Ding Ding Ding in my bank account. I previously told them I was not comfortable with spending more until I received a withdrawal, but they said I would receive my money faster if I reached diamond VIP which is ~$100k spend.

In total, I have now ~$110k in account value that the DDD team is leading me along with - always giving an excuse each day why the redemption hasn't gone through yet. They also sent me an ACH transfer picture dated on 2/28, but Chase has said ACH would arrive in 1 business day, 2 at the most (concern on whether or not that is a real image). Today, I received the same generic message that my funds will be released as soon as possible - another violation of the 24 hour redemption promise I received.

I told them I was promised a 24 hour withdrawal status if I followed along with their extremely high spend target to hit quick withdrawal status, and the best response they could give me on honoring the withdrawal is "I can not guarantee anything (name), But we are working on it." Furthermore, after asking support for more information about why they were refusing to honor the benefit I was promised, they said "our risk department flagged your account, unfortunately, you are not able to use any Diamond privileges." I was essentially scammed into buying up to Diamond and then told that I won't get the Diamond benefits I was promised - to me, this appears to be blantant deception by the business to drive me into spending more money just to get my original cash back. I have played across many online casinos and have never had to wait this long for a redemption or have had live chat agents attempt to lure me into more spend with false benefit claims.

I have not received my disputed payment yet. I now have ~$20k in pending withdrawals despite diamond VIP being listed as a 24 hour redemption process, and it says I cannot initiate any other new withdrawals until my pending redemptions is finished.

Refuses to pay me for my winnings
On 1/31/25, I won 5,000sc ($5,000) on DingDingDing (DDD) and submitted my redemption request in the amount of $5,000. That same day, I received an email confirmation from DDD acknowledging they had received my redemption request. This was not my first redemption request and I had completed phone verification in the past, so per their written communication, my future redemptions would "be issued automatically." They concluded their email response with "We are committed to make your redemption process as easy as possible. Once approved, ACH transfer can take up to 7 business days. Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to email or call us at any time."

Days passed and I received no additional communication or contact from DDD. I contacted customer service by phone (1-800-971-0734) several times to request an update on my redemption request - each time that I spoke with a representative I was advised that DDD was currently processing a high volume of redemption requests, and they were unable to provide me with an approximate timeframe of when my request would be completed.

On 2/13/25, I received an email from DDD advising that in order to process my redemption request, I would need to sign a Redemption Consent Form, which they attached to the email. I completed the form and sent it back to them as requested. Over the next few weeks I contacted DDD via telephone and email numerous times for updates, and continued to receive vague responses such as, "We've been swamped with big winnings and high redemption rates lately", and "we are working diligently to ensure you receive your redemption as soon as possible." DDD sent me multiple responses reassuring me that my redemption request was currently being processed, stating they expected it to be completed "shortly," or "soon."

On 3/31/25, DDD emailed me and congratulated me on my winnings, advising that my submission had been successfully processed, and that the transfer would take approximately 3-7 business days and would be listed under "Living Pixels Studio LLC."

On 4/1/25, I emailed back to ask for clarification on the funds transfer, and was then advised that my request had been submitted for "final approval" and that once approved the funds would be sent to my bank account.

So just to reiterate, on 3/31/25 DDD congratulated me on my winnings and told me my submission had been successfully processed, but then the very next day, they reverted back to saying my request was submitted for final approval.

On 4/1/25 I tried to contact DDD support via telephone, as I had done so many times in the previous weeks. I was shocked to discover that the phone number was no longer working. I was no longer able to connect with a representative; the phone line just rang busy. I logged into my DDD account to discover that my redemption request was no longer showing; instead there was a message displayed that said "Due to changing regulatory laws in the U.S, Sweepstakes promotions and Sweeps Play will no longer be available. Gold play Social Gaming is still available for your enjoyment." Upon seeing this message, I emailed DDD to obtain additional information and received an email response back with the same message about "changing regulatory laws," and they additionally stated: "Since laws now prohibit use of sweepstakes, we are obligated to abide by these laws and no longer offer these types of promotions," and concluded their email by saying "any pending redemptions will be reviewed in accordance with our Terms and Conditions."

I continued to seek assistance via email since their customer service phone number was no longer in service. I submitted emails on 4/1, 4/6, and 5/11, and continued to receive email responses from DDD confirming that my requests were received and being reviewed, and to call 1-800-971-0734 if I needed immediate assistance. As such, they continued to mislead me by directing me to a non-working phone number.

On 5/4/25, I received an additional email response from DDD restating that they are no longer offering sweepstakes promotions. Noticeably omitted from this email was the statement they had initially made that “any pending redemptions will be reviewed in accordance with our Terms and Conditions (stated in their email from 4/2/25). Based on this response, it is apparent that DDD has no intention of issuing my payment.

My demand is this: I would like DingDingDing to pay me for my winnings that I am rightfully entitled to: $5,000. I won and submitted my redemption request back on 1/31/25, months before DDD communicated a "change in regulations." They prolonged my payout for months, telling me that it would be processed "soon," or "shortly" while attributing the excessive delays to a "high volume of payouts" they were processing. DingDingDing needs to be held accountable for their mishandling of this issue, and they need to follow through on their commitment to issue my payment. Their actions are unacceptable. I won and submitted my redemption request months before DingDingDing communicated this change in regulations, and I deserve and am owed my payout. I have attached relevant correspondence to support the details included in my complaint.
