I am experiencing a very unprofessional behavior from the Las Vegas USA Casino. I have been waiting a long time for the cashout, and recently I got an email saying it was declined. I was not able to log in anymore and the support told me my account has been closed because the account was not active for some time. Upon explaining that I was not playing because I was waiting for the cashout and that I have actively trying to contact them several times via email and chat support, they told me my case would be handled by the management and that they would contact me via email. So far, no one has contacted me.

full details:
I created my account about 3 years ago. I made a deposit about $400 I believe and played on a semi-regular basis. I was quite lucky and won some money, most of which I cashed out (i think about $2000). The withdrawal took a very long time, more than three months, I believe, but eventually I got paid.
I think I then eventually lost my remaining funds there and stopped playing for some time (there may have been a deposit I lost, I don't remember now).

After some time (I tried 2 or 3 casinos in the meantime, mostly losing) I decided to give Las Vegas USA another try. I was not happy about their customer service and how long it took to cash out before, but I liked the software, so I decided to make another deposit and played there from time to time (much less than before because I was more busy with my academic work).
Again I was lucky enough to win some money and tried to cash out (I believe it was around $1400, I don't have access to the account). This time, cashout via Neteller was not available, so I selected check by courier. After about two months I emailed the support, that I haven't received the money yet. I never got any reply. After some time, I contacted the support via online chat. They informed me about some previous problems with Neteller, not explaining why I didn't receive my check. Since Neteller was available again, I canceled my cashout via check and requested a cashout via Neteller hoping to speed up the process (I cashed out $1000 I believe, keeping some more money on the account for playing). The cashed out amount was never transferred to me.
I was not playing much because I was very unhappy about the customer service. Like during the cashout before, It seemed they are delaying the process as long as possible on purpose, hoping that the players lose the remaining money on the account and cancel the withdrawal. About a week ago I received an email saying my cashout was declined. Again I emailed the support but never received any answer. I tried logging in, but it was not possible. I contacted the support via online chat on the site. They told me my account was closed because of a long period of inactivity citing a paragraph from the terms saying an account can be closed (and the money seized) if the there is no activity on the account for 180 days.

The whole situation is crazy and incorrectly handled by the casino. My account was active when I had requested the cashout ( I was playing on that day before the cashout request was made). If there was some period when I was inactive before the deposit when there was no money on the account, it could have been closed automatically then. If there was a period of inactivity after I have made a deposit and the casino wanted to lose the customer and close the account, they could have done it then and should have been informed me, or warned me.
If they refer to some inactivity after the cashout was submitted, that would be even more ridiculous. I am pretty sure I played a couple of times during that period, trying a few different games but I was not motivated to play much since it seemed the casino is terrible at paying the winnings.

I have tried to get some additional information from the casino but I was unsuccessful. The chat support told me to contact them via email, which I did several times already without any reply.
Yesterday, I tried asking via the online chat again. This time the person told me that my case is currently under evaluation and that I would be contacted after this evaluation is completed.
It is hard to know whether it is true because I was promised to be contacted via email several times already (last time about 3 weeks ago) and no one ever contacted me.

I think I may point out that the MainStreat Casino group was already blacklisted for unethical business practices by another 3rd party website. I know this fact is not proof for my case, but I believe it is relevant because some of the documented cases accessible online had a pattern similar to mine. In several cases, the operator was unnecessarily prolonging the withdrawal process and then closed the account for inactivity, voiding the remaining funds.

I believe, in my case, the situation is even worse. I was not paid at all and my account was not completely inactive. I have even canceled the first cashout after Netteller became available to make the process easier for the casino. I have also lowered the amount too to 1000$, so It could be processed in a single withdrawal and I was ready to play more again after I got paid.
I think the casino should have appreciated I was willing to continue playing even without any bonuses and didn't just want to cash out everything and redeposit with another bonus as some people are doing.

Casino not paying me

I have been a player on this site for a long time and lost countless deposits totalling thousands and thousands of dollars. I deposit using BTC and never take bonuses so that I never have to worry about meeting rollovers or sending in copies of credit cards. I was playing video poker and finally won $3k I went to withdraw and found out you can only withdraw $1k max via BTC. Well that's my fault for not checking beforehand. I then found out I can request multiple $1k requests and they will pay two of them together. As soon as I requested payout I got emails from support saying I now needed to send in ID and a utility bill even though I deposited via BTC and had no credit card. I didnt care so I sent them the docs they required same day and I also received a call from their security dep and verified what they needed. I was told that my acc was verified and that I would be paid now. This is where support started becoming harder to reach, they would ignore my chat requests and 5 days in a row I asked to speak to a supervisor and 5 straight days I was told no I couldn't speak to one. I was told they were waiting on their 3rd party payment processor to send their next batch of payments. I simply asked them for a date of when that would be and they could not give me an answer. If they truly had a processor that was making these payments it should not be a big deal to say the next batch will go out in 2 days or a week or 2 weeks or however long as long as they stuck to that. What casino can't give you any time frame at all as to when your payout will go out? I also then found this site and saw multiple complaints from players also waiting on payouts that were told the exact same thing for months and months.

I tried to chat with support again and again simply asking for a date or a supervisor which they couldn't help with. On one chat the text did get a little heated and Maybe they would consider what I said rude as I asked the operator how they sleep at night knowing they take deposits but don't pay out withdrawals and a few other things along the same lines. I can't help but get angry. It is a rare thing to win gambling so to win and not get paid is the most annoying thing that could ever happen.
