Delaying Payment and now avoiding me

By 23c3Leim

Hi,

I played at hippodrome casino and I have a cash out there, this is back in the begining of June. I sent them the documents they asked from me, and I had to send them 3 times. In July I was told they could not find the information on the notary I used. I sent them all the information on the notary: company name, address, telephone, fax and email address. I sent that info on the 22nd of July. The last email I have from them is as follows on the 29th of July:

"Hi Peter,

We kindly ask for your patience and co-operation regarding the matter, as your withdrawal of £3,533.50 will be paid to your NETeller shortly."

Nearly a month has past and I still don't have my money. I have sent them a few more emails asking when I would get it, but now they are avoiding me!

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your feedback.

We humbly apologize for the experience that you have had.

In relation to your withdrawal which you requested on 10/06/2013. We can confirm the reason for the delay was due to our Operations Department requiring documentation from you. The document requests sent by our Operations Department was to review your withdrawal. On 12/06/2013 we have notified you that we required your proof of identification and proof of address. On 16/06/2013 we received your verification documents and on 17/06/2013 your account was successfully verified.

A routine check was commenced on the 23/06/2013 by Neteller and therefore we placed your withdrawal on hold. This review concluded with our Operations Department requiring certified copies of your proof of identification as well as proof of address which was requested on the 24/06/2013.

On 11/07/2013 we have received all required documents. However, on 12/07/2013 there was a notary call pending from our Operations Department to confirm the documents which you have sent in. On 13/09/2013 your certified verification documents were approved, and 3553.50 Euro was released and paid to your Neteller account.

On 30/09/2013 we sent you an e-mail and asked you to respond once you have checked your Neteller account to confirm you have received the funds. We then received an e-mail on 30/09/2013 advising that you have received the funds.

We understand this process can be frustrating, however, as per our regulatory requirements we are required to successfully verify all customers’ accounts. Safe gaming is of utmost importance to us and thus we appreciate your assistance and understanding.

We trust that all is in order.

Regards,

The Betway Team

"Dear Peter,

Account: 23c3Leim

I hope all is well with you.

The notary calls have been unsuccessful so far - rest assured though that I am constantly trying to get an update.

I will let you know as soon as everything is confirmed

I apologise for any inconvenience."

How is this possible that they have been unable to reach the notary either by phone, fax or email for 2 months??? I feel this is just a ploy not to pay me.

Hippodrome casino online holding my withdrawal

I initiated two withdrawals: the first for £ 820 on September 21, 2025, won while playing Big Bass 1000, and the second for £464 on September 26, 2025. Both amounts have been held in a "pending" or "under review" status since those respective dates.

I have repeatedly submitted all requested Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation, including my passport, provisional driving license, bank statements for September and October, a British Gas utility bill, and my tenancy agreement. The core issue lies with your support team providing conflicting information: I have multiple screenshots where support agents confirmed my account was fully verified, only to be later told—most recently by a supposed senior agent on October 16—that the account is not verified. This constant back-and-forth, coupled with the indefinite extension of the 48-hour waiting period, is causing significant distress and represents a serious failure in your regulatory compliance.

Not processing payment

I have requested 2 withdrawals from Hippodrome online on Tuesday 30th totalling £1304.75.
It’s now Sunday 5th October and the payments still haven’t moved beyond submitted.

I have spoken with them on chat and they just say it’s being escalated but can’t say why the payment is delayed or provide any timeframe for getting this sorted. They are still accepting and have accepted further deposits and say they can’t see any issues whenever I talk to them.

Withdrawal 600 been waiting since the 12th of August

I am writing to complain about this casino.

I have £600 pending in my account.

I’ve contacted live chat multiple times to check the status of my withdrawal. All said different things. One said I would need to wait from the 12th to Friday, the 15th of August, for the review to be completed.

I contacted live chat again on Saturday to check the progress. Someone told me the funds have been unheld and are processing, but they’re unable to process on weekends, so I would have to wait from Monday up to 48 hours.

I checked in again on Tuesday 19th of August; however, they said that my funds of £600 are being reviewed, and yet again, they will escalate to see what’s happening.

Mixed messages and very disappointing. My account is fully verified, hence why I was able to deposit. However, I was asked to provide documents over email, which I did, then they verified me “again”; all that’s left is for this casino to pay me out, but it is delaying payment.

It’s now been over a week, I’ve given enough time to this casino to deal with this matter effectively, but each time it seems like excuse.

I want my withdrawal

I have been waiting for 11 days for hippodrome to process my withdrawal. I have contacted chat 5 times and they just tell me to wait. I have had no emails saying there is a problem. On the suggestion of chat I submitted documentation for verification to the support email address but, just got a message saying the mailbox is not monitored and my email would not be responded to. There is no customer support contact information on the site, no customer service contact information and no way to contact them except chat which do not provide any solutions. When I go to verification in my account it says I am verified and no documentation is required. I cannot get any answers at all. I have screen shots of my chat conversations and withdrawal requests

Poor support and long waiting times

Hello! I have repeatedly requested the chat to send me my account deposits and withdrawals via email, as their website isn’t working and I cannot check the information myself. I have also pointed out that the Responsible Gaming tab on their website isn’t working. Additionally, their email support is no longer in use, so the only way to contact them is through the chat, which also functions poorly.

I was promised to receive the information within two days. Four days have passed, and I still haven’t received it. The chat is not helping with the issue. Could you get them to provide the requested information?

Charged for a deposit that never loaded

Good morning!

I sincerely apologise I didn’t realise it hadn’t replied. I would like to submit a claim about Hippodrome online casino again. On 29/06 I transferred £200 from my bank to play but the funds left my bank and never appeared in my hippodrome account.

I spoke to several people on live chat who confirmed the issue on hippodromes end and assured me that my funds would be refunded immediately but could take 2-3 working days. Because I’ve had past issues with hippodrome I also emailed support@betway and hippodrome manager email with a copy of the chat transcript, and screenshots of my bank statement.

I was assured that these had been received but as of today (11/07) I’ve still not received my money back or any communication or response. Please help me. I am happy to resend these images etc. I have also attached screenshots of my despot history this month that shows that the £200 that left my bank account wasn’t processed as a deposit.

Many thanks

All information provided Payment not yet released

I set up my account on 27/01 and deposited a total of £730 via direct bank transfer. After playing I withdrew 1567.11 at 12.01 the same day. I sent over all of my identification. Documents. I then checked on live chat if anything else was needed and they said no and that I would be paid imminently. Since I requested a withdrawal on the 27th I was asked to provide proof of address and also proof of my debit card. - I have since sent multiple bank statements proof of address and Id. The operations asked for proof of ownership of my card as it wasn’t visible on my statement. I sent a photo of my card with all of the digits covered barring the last 4 digits as well as this I went into branch and asked for a print out showing my card info which they reluctantly gave me (it’s not normally something they do) I just want to clarify what the issues are as I’m waiting for my withdrawal.

I’ve also sent bank statements, screenshots from online banking showing the transactions, photos of my card with middle numbers covered, screen shots from my mobile banking app showing the card details as well. I am getting very mixed messages from support asking me for details I’ve already sent as well as telling me I would be paid. I’m very confused as everything I’ve sent more than proves my ownership of the card.

I am desperately trying to have this resolved as it’s causing me a great deal of stress and anxiety. I have checked the verification and withdrawal faqs on the hippodrome online website and they clearly state that screen shots can also be used. Please can someone help me I cannot speak to anyone on the phone due to Covid as phone chat isn’t working. The time frame stated has now elapsed and I really need my funds. I will attach everything I have from live chats and that I have sent over

Twice told I was verified but withdrawals still not processed

Three months ago I signed up to Hippodrome online Casino. I requested three withdrawals within a week.

3 months later and the withdrawals are not processed. I was asked to complete KYC. I sent in all my ID and three bank statements.

I received an email confirming I was verified.

A month later I had still not received my withdrawal. I went on chat and spoke to a manager. He spoke with Operations and they apologied, stated everything would be approved again and I would hear in 24 hours.

Two weeks later and nothing had been processed! I received another email when I chased stating they wanted a utility bill! I went on chat furious and was told they still wanted a utility bill. I specified I had provided three bank statements and a utility bill and copied the chat transcript I had with the manager. The chat agent was dismissive and said they would never process my withdrawal without another utility bill! My chat with the manager who confirmed the operations would approve and process everything within 24 hours had covered this! The fact I was paperless as an ethical and religious choice so could provide nothing more then I had and that this whole ordeal was making me unwell after I had been confirmed I was verified twice.

I need help here as Hippodrome are lying to me, spinning me in circles and saying im verified and withdrawals will be processed to then go back on this. They are breaching UKGC LCCP and this is making me sick with stress.

Ive attached confirmation I am verified and they are STILL NOT paying out!

Payment of £11,300 delayed for 17 days and counting

Hi guys, I’ve recently withdrew a significant amount of money from said online casino on the 27th of March the amount was (£11300) the week before I withdrew (£7200) successfully without a problem , I won this on roulette - no bonuses used !
I waited the allotted time for processing and they told me they needed to verify my account which I did with relevant documentation! ( this took 8 days ) the withdrawal was marked paid ( April 4th) so I waited until the Monday (April 8th ) and still no money , I contacted them and was informed that it would be in my account with in 2 business days as they had a few problems with their processing( this sounded iffy to me ) I waited until the Wednesday 10th still no money , I contacted them again by phone email and online chat , each assuring me the money will be in within 2 business days we are now on day 16 and still no money !! It seems like they are giving me the run around or something fraudulent is happening! I’m wondering what my next steps are as I’ve tried contacting them again today and their phones are off !! They are under the betway group and all calls are directed to South Africa.If you could help that would be great ? Thanks a lot.
