Golden Star Casino
Withdrawal Nightmare
5 years ago
Hi there
I have been playing at this casino for quite sometime and without any decent withdrawal up until now. I didn’t have any issues for the small amounts withdrawn (ie. $50 through to $300). But I finally had a win of $1400 yay but have had nothing but problems. It’s been terrible. I used the normal withdrawal method (Visa card) as I have always done with them (same card also) and same card at all other casinos (never any issues). So I withdraw the $1400 and it gets ‘canceled’. Yes I ensured the play through requirements were met as always. I asked why it was cancelled and was told it was an ‘issue’ with my bank and to contact my bank. I did and my bank advised there was no issue on their end and I had never heard of this ‘bank issue’ before. So, I tried again, it was ‘cancelled’ again. I’m told the same thing and told to use another withdrawal method. I try a smaller amount of $400 on my usual Visa card and it also was ‘canceled’. A million messages later and no one is making sense and my frustration is through the roof as I ask for a manager but no one will help. They tell me to now use a bank withdrawal instead. Ok, by this stage I just want it done. I go through the process of giving my bank details plus required screen shot of proof of bank account (statement). I get a message to say my withdrawal again canceled. Now indeed my frustration has hit the roof. I was told that my statement screenshot wasn’t accepted by the finance department yet I did everything correct and as asked. I complained and asked to speak with a manager. The live chat rep then said she ‘convinced’ the finance department to accept my submitted document and that the withdrawal has been approved and processed. It hasn’t. It still sits as pending days later and I ask why is it still sitting as ‘pending’ and not ‘approved’ when I was told it was approved and I got told that they were ‘waiting to hear from my bank’. I have never heard of this either and I’m at my absolute wits end. It’s been a terrible experience with a casino I have been a long time loyal player with. It’s not right nor fair to do. Please help. Thank you kindly

I must say it was an unprofessional, dishonest and disappointing response from the casino. They finally ‘approved’ my withdrawal at the same time they responded to the complaint (see attached) and I have now just received it in my account. I was told the whole week and by many staff members it was all done. Had I not have filed a complaint, I would not have been paid. What a terrible experience all round. I will be closing my account. Thank you so very much Askgamblers, I really do appreciate it.
