Misleading promo and delayed payment


I recently opened up an account with casino.com after following a sponsored link through Google. So I opened my account after a promise of a £20 no deposit sign up bonus. The wagering requirements weren't exactly clear but after a shaky online discussion with a customer services rep I was told they thought it was 50x wager I then checked this myself to find out it was 40x. So I played the wager requirement through various games. I easily met the wagering requirements over 100x. Upon going to withdraw my winnings I was informed I had to make a £20 deposit which I done. Now in my eyes this isn't a no deposit bonus as stated upon sign up, this is Mis-leading in the first instance. This would class as a matched deposit in my eyes. I made my deposit and carried on playing. I went to make my withdrawal which went to pending. So I requested a call back four times from a customer care rep that never came. Upon my fifth request I got one. I asked the rep what the withdrawal process time which they asked for my details. I gave my details at which I was told she couldn't find my account and she hung up. I then went on to online chat where another rep I think Stacey or Sara P agreed to email me an email stating I had to send in ID for verificationand where to send it. This never came. So again I send an email to the support team email requesting details. They take some time to get back to me. I then email in my requested docs in an email in line with the sites stated requirements. No reply or even a notification. Now I have read up online that casino.com has one of the worst withdrawal systems and multiple issues with customer service. All I want is for somebody to verify my account and action my withdrawal. I also read online complaints that people get told it's not enough or they have somehow abused the sign up bonus. Customer service don't seem to have a clue and nobody can answer my questions. Can you verify my account and my withdrawal . Your website seems to be in breach of advertising standards in the fact it offers a no deposit sign up bonus (False) statement. Customer service is bad and that's lightly put. Casino.com is probably one of the most wanted domain names/websites and I think your milking this. I have contacted the gambling commission who believe I have a strong case against your terrible service. I deposit over £1500 in various online casinos and was looking for a new and exciting one where I could play my favourite slot Gold Rally. I don't wish for you to lose my custom but I seem to have to be jumping through hoops and receiving a terrible service. Now you clearly verified my account already as I have a MasterCard which is Mastercard code protected only allowing my card to have payments collected providing my address and account information match. You conduct a search upon opening. I'd like to think your not fobbing off customers and just taking there money and refusing withdrawals but most evidence I read seems to point to that conclusion. I look forward to your resolve and if not I shall be going back to the gambling commission for advise. I am a genuine customer and look forward to your resolve ASAP without the problems I have already encountered.

Slow verification and waiting for my withdrawal 15 days already

UK/ So I signed up to casino.com on Friday 1st of July 2022. Deposited £20 and won £150 I requested for it to be withdrawn same day. I checked again and was still pending. 6 days later I did try the online verification but clearly didn’t work.

I then contacted them via the live chat 7/07/22 live chat took from 15:47 to 16:47 spoke to 2 different people (was an issue with my email address, accidentally spelt @hotmail.com as @hitmail.com) I then had a phone call to change this with an intrusive phone call with every single detail of my personal details. After the phone call I was told to send my details via email would take 48 hours to be verified and paid, next day Ian replied saying they got everything, then on the 12/07/22 I asked what’s taking so long. So they accepted my bank card but not my driving license or council tax bill (surely if it wasn’t accepted they’d let me know sooner but didn’t)

Next day 13/07/22 I sent a water bill and my driving license in Clear view. Now I won’t know till at least Monday if these have been accepted… It’s taken 2 weeks and a phone call, 2 live chats and 11 emails to try and get my funds, (I have the live chats screen recorded, phone call evidence and the emails) it shouldn’t be this difficult to get paid. I’ve asked to speak to complaints to be ignored twice and always receive an automatic reply ie thanks for sending details we’ll let you know in 48hrs etc

Also upon checking my credit file, which I do every month, they’ve done a soft search on the 1/07/22 so they clearly know I’m a legit person. They also won’t tell me why they’ve searched me. I’ve never had this done by any other casino (I personally find it odd).

I’ve also now had other casinos soft search me since even though I haven’t signed up to them.

Easy to deposit and impossible to withdraw

I made a deposit on casino.com using my Revolut virtual VISA card, which was no problem. I won and finished the terms of condition for the bonus and landed on 28700 NOK which is around 2870 euro. This is when I first attempted to withdraw my money (23rd of July). Following just the regular process, I was asked to verify my account, they approved documents and I tried to trigger a withdraw again. They declined it claiming I cannot withdraw more than what I first deposited with my card (which was 2000 NOK). I spent an hour talking to support to figure out why but I never received a good explanation, just that I should try again, with 2000 NOK. This was also declined with this explanation from support(copied from chat)

"I see here the withdrawal failed because your CC7212 is not supported in Credit Fund Transfer, so our finance department advised if you can request the withdrawal via a different payment method so we can process it".

This is a straight up lie since I've made deposits on other sites and got my withdraw through my card details. I tried explaining this but they just simply denied that it was possible. I tried to make a new deposit with my mastercard instead. Unfortunately they don¨t take mastercard, customers support replied. They then adviced me that the only way possible for them is to send money through ecopayz. Unfortunately ecopayz is banned in norway and I'm norwegian. :)

So.

This site doesn't accept VISA, Mastercard or bank transfer to withdraw money (only to deposit). Chat makes you wait 10 minutes between every message and they straight up lie. I know my card supports Credit fund transfer since I used it on more than 3 different sites successfully after casino.com told me it doesn't.

I find no way of withdrawing my money, they told me that they would contact me if like a new method to withdraw funds is presented but since it's been about 2 months now I have no hope of ever getting my money.

Avoid this site at all cost they will never let you withdraw any money you deposit.
