Pending withdrawal takes forever despite providing new info all the time to the operator
11 months ago
Dear Reader,
I registered with NYS on 22nd of April 2025. I had uploaded at the time a form of an ID (passport) and proof of address and I had ben playing ever since without any additional verification requests.
On 22th of June 2025, I made a withdrawal of £5006.08 ; the withdrawal requests don't generate emails to your email address and as they promise to pay within 48 hrs, I became suspicious and between 48 hrs & 72hrs from making the original withdrawal request, I went to NYS helpdesk to enquire about the delay and they simply said it will be paid out 'soon'...
The next day, I got a lengthy email from someone Jackie from the 'Duty of Care' team, asking a lot of details to verify, which i sent over the same day....then there were back and forth communications asking for more, every time i replied and I always replied within the same date! Sometimes, there was pause from them for 3 days, depsite asking for updates.
I provided all my income evidence from all my bank accounts for the time intervals they had requested and even from my Ltd company's dividends...and again and again, they are finding excuses to delay by asking more detailed questions on something i already provided and is clearly seen within the original documents, when these are the official documents handed over to HMRC, etc......I have been a member to a lot of online companies since 2012 and the only other online casino that delayed me unnecessarily as well in the past was the All British casino, asking continuously the for the dame info, in different formats and/or for that info to come from the original owners' email accounts.
NYS even asked me for the winnings of another 3 online casinos and to be CC'd as well. I did so and contacted them all! ...they all provided the info...but for two of them, they are now saying they are not in the format they wanted to see the figures as, etc (you can imagine how many emails back and forth ONLY this request has generated)....we can all find excuses to delay things, but these are totally ridiculous requests made and are continually, with no end in sight and by no means of a guaranteed outcome, when all this info is seen and was coming to them from their own original emails, via a number of generated reports from all the other casinos, I mean!!!
I've been very patient and collaborative with NSP, waiting for almost 2 weeks now and responding every day or whenever they have asked me to provide further info to them...but this is becoming beyond ridiculous and it is an abuse of all patience, to be frank...Iam busy with my work and the admin this has generated to me is around 10-12 hours so far (minimum!)
It is very unfortunate that some small to medium size operators are asking for these 'verifications' after a decent size withdrawal and NOT DURING THE DEPOSITS. Last year (July 2024), the Gambling Commission published the Lessons learned, one of them being very relevant here: << a request made by a customer to withdraw funds from their account must not result in a requirement for additional information to be supplied as a condition of withdrawal if the licensee could have reasonably requested that information earlier>> . Obviously, NYS, have not learned this lesson that is published across the Industry and are clearly abusing this point....
As of now (4th of July 2025), the withdrawal request is still pending and Iam sure whatever info I provided to them from the latest request that came in around an hour ago (1400 UK time), they will ask for another bullet point list...the wait is endless and it is not fair on us players !!!
