Balance held hostage, €1,500 weekly limit prolonged
Months ago I have a large win at Machance Casino. I send my documents and pass the verification. After making some withdrawals with success my balance today at the casino is €20,425. I then have to verify my account again because Machance un-verifies the account after some months to ask for new documents. I pass a difficult verification and notice that my withdrawal limits have been changed. They are now €500. They used to be €1,500.
Machance casino can only process one withdrawal in a week. Although what happens is that you ask for a withdrawal and it takes 4-5 working days to be approved. By then you are into the second week and you are then blocked by the cashier for making new requests for 7 days. In my experience you can realistically expect one withdrawal every 2 weeks because of this. So for me to receive the rest of my winnings in withdrawals of €500 it will maybe take nearly 2 years!
I send an email to Machance because I think this must be an error and asking them to increase limits. They reply saying that they will not because I have not deposited in a long time. They say to increase my limits I must make a more active account. As I said to Machance I like their games and their casino. But how can I deposit when even if they do increase back to €1,500 it will still take such a long time to be paid the balance. This is not like a normal casino where if you win they settle with one large withdrawal. Any more money that I deposit or win at the casino will be put on the back of a long queue and I will not get it back for at least months. So why would I want to do this?
Machance have me in a situation where they are holding my balance hostage unless I deposit or gamble. If I do this more money is stuck in the casino unless I lose. Losing is the only transaction that can happen quickly. I did not want to complain because if it was not for this treatment I like the casino. It is a shame that they want to punish winners. I think it is a mistake to have this policy because if I had received my win immediately like with a high quality casino I would have deposited and played by now likely many times. Machance makes no incentive to do this.
