Complaint #63 Hopa Casino

Delayed payments

By Jacob H.

5 years ago

Signed up to hopa and deposited £100. Then 6 working days ago (ten days in total) I withdrew £850 and £1000. The two withdrawals are in pending cash outs still. (Even though it’s a 48 hour process, apparently !) I have spoke to chat 10 plus times and you get the same garbage. “The withdrawal is going through checks”. I’ve sent all my Kyc and it’s been accepted , what possible checks can there be that take ten normal days ? There are betting firms who are processing withdrawals in 1 hour and will have it in your account in that same hour too! Service has been so disappointing with no clarity , but worst of al in 2020 the delays of the timescales promised is just a huge put off.

Dear @Tubes5,

Following a careful review and consideration of your case, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that, unfortunately, your complaint is not compliant with the AGCCS Guidelines, section Balance played off while waiting to be paid and, therefore, is being rejected. Please keep in mind that following all AGCCS Guidelines is mandatory.

Please keep in mind that while we could understand your frustration and disappointment of probably not being paid within the time frame specified by the operator, it is up to you to refrain from playing until the processing of your payment is being finalized accordingly. Instead, you cancelled pending withdrawals, kept playing and lost your balance subsequently which means that unfortunately, you also lost the validity of you claim against the operator which led to rejection of the complaint.

And while we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind that in case of disagreement with our decision further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

The below picture was taken 5 days ago. The complaint can be closed now because I cancelled the pending withdrawals and ultimately lost the money. Sadly, it looks like this is how hopa works. They wait longer than promised in hope that pending instructions will be cancelled and gambled back. Banning myself from the site with incredibly poor service and even poorer operations is the best thing to ensure this doesn’t happen again. The fact that they can reply with such a lie is incredible. You can see in the picture and if they have all chat transcripts it would enforce even more what a shambles of an organisation this is. For anyone having trouble , gamble responsibly and stick to the big betting companies who can process withdrawals within an hour or two . Not the smaller ones who are after every tiny edge. Thank you for your assistance “ask gamblers”.

HI AG,

We have completed our investigation of this complaint. The Player was continuously canceling his cashouts from the 19th of November till the 1st of December. Sometimes canceling even after a few minutes.

The only request that we managed to cash out was the one of £2850 where the player requested it on the 1st and was cashed out the day after. There is nothing further pending on this account at the moment.

Kind regards,

Team Hopa

Didn't receive my withdrawal from March 11th

I requested a withdrawal of £150 on 11 March 2026.

I was informed by the casino that the funds would appear in my account within 7 to 10 days. However, this timeframe has now passed, and I have still not received my money.

As of today, it has been significantly longer than the promised 7–10 days, yet my withdrawal remains unpaid. I have completed all required verification checks and fully complied with the casino’s terms and conditions.

Despite my efforts to resolve this, I have not received any clear or satisfactory explanation for the delay. This is unacceptable, as I relied on the timeframe provided by the casino.

Kind regards

Delayed £100

I made a withdrawal of £100 on 15.07.2023 and I have not yet received money in my personal account, the transaction number is 559232595. I want you to make the payment. I contacted Hopa.com this week and to all 5 e-mails sent I received an automatic reply to be patient, more than 48 hours have passed and my transaction is still pending. This is not admissible. Thank you

Pending withdrawal over 13 days

Hopa have stated my withdrawal is pending for over 13 days.

I have submitted all the documents and have been told that they have been approved by live chat. They state that the relevant department are dealing with it and it has been escalated however they have told me this everyday.

They have no reason to still have my withdrawal as pending.

Closed my account instead of releasing my withdrawal

I have 2 pending withdrawals with Hopa. Amounting to approximately £430.They state that refunds take upto 2 days..I had done quite a few withdrawals prior to these

As I had not recieved these within the stated time period, I contacted Hopa on chat, Because I mentioned to the lady assistant that “I needed the money”, I was more or less “interrogated “as she was trying to ascertain if I had a gambling problem.

After the live chat, I recieved an email that my account limit to be decreased to £500 per month, then within a few moments , my account was closed ???

This meant that I can no longer use live chat and my only means is via email..

I have contacted HOPA since on untold number of occasions.

Firstly , an email filled stating that due to a high number of winners, pending withdrawals will take a little longer!

I find this unbelievable.. !

Despite , numerous email contacts to Hopa, I am literally “begging”them to release My money... I keep on getting the same reply that “my account is under review”??

I mean what’s going on , verification was done some time ago..how can they hold onto my money... and it’s not even winnings. I find this casino operators conduct beyond comprehension.

I do really now require this money.. I have bills to pay and I don’t see any reason why this casino is behaving in such a manner!

Delay Tactics familiar story

I opened an account with Hopa and deposited £300, I went on to win £1000. I asked for a cash out and sent all required ID. I then won another £4000. I waited 4 days and my payments were still pending. I contacted live chat and they got the £4000 approved but the £1000 is still in process. Once the payments were approved the live chat guy was quick to inform me that they were experiencing technical issues with payments. Very dubious. They are happy to take your money without verification, they make the verification process drawn out when you want to withdraw and they seem unwilling to release funds. They also charge you for deposits and withdrawals.

Making Account Verification & Withdrawal Mission Impossible

Avoid this online company completely!! On the 18/11/2020 I withdrew £20,000 from my hopa casino account. On the 19/11/2020 I then receive and email asking to verify my account and sent the required documents over to them (which I did the same day) later the same day I then received an email to say my account was now verified.

The very next day I then had another email to say they now also wanted to see my last pay slip so again I then sent them this (same day) on the 23/11/2020 I then received an email to say it is processing and they will be able to cash out on the 24/11/2020.. guess what still nothing was heard come the 30/11/2020 so I chased them up again! On the 7/12/2020 I finally get a reply to say even my pay slip was not enough and they then wanted my bank statement showing deposits going out of my account there casino so that day I sent them my PayPal statements because this is where my deposits to them come from. Another 3 days passed and they finally email again to say even this was not enough and they wanted my bank statements for the whole of November. So without delay I then sent these over to them (I’m now beginning to think are they taking the piss out of me or what!) I then think right that’s everything my money will be with me shortly but no.. I then receive another email on Boxing Day saying my bank statements do not show the deposits to them (which I told them they wouldn’t because they are all on my PayPal statement which they were given weeks ago) and I was asked to send them my PayPal statements (which I did weeks ago) after an email telling me my account was verified and every single document they have requested being sent to them I am still to this day awaiting my funds! I have now been waiting 1 month and 2 weeks exactly.

The great level of stress this has caused me is really unexplainable.

Please please please do not use this site or any of its sister sites such as mr play!

Delayed payment and withdrawal

i have submitted 2 withdrawals for a total of 1805 pound on 23 august and still nothing. I have sent all docs required and never got any feedback on my documents.

I have visited the chat multiple times and answers are totally variable, I got agents telling me that everything has been approved and that withdrawal will be executed very soon and I have agents telling me that my account is still under review.

Withdrawal Delayed and delayed

Had email saying payment processed and told it would be in my paypal account in 24 hours. Nothing arrived. Constant daily communication told it was approved, then told it was escalated to finance team. The told it was approved. Again escalated to finance team. Asked why couldn't say. I asked for Paypal transaction numbers as Paypal had no record of payments made. I was given transaction numbers but not paypal ones. Just want my withdrawal processed and paid ASAP and some honesty in the customer service.
