Stalling payment beyond their own time frames and rules!


I won on uptown aces casino the middle of June. I already had submitted all my documents and was verified & approved back in April from a win but I never ended up withdrawing because they kept not approving my documents. Eventually they were all approved.. I requested info regarding diff methods of withdrawing because I wanted to know the quickest way to receive payment and I was told bank wire. By the time I had all the info I needed like swift code, etc (i wanted to be 100% sure I did everything correctly), I requested a withdrawal on June 29th via bankwire and it was approved and authorized to be paid out on July 1st, 2016 at 2:24AM and then processed and sent at 7:48AM same day on July 1st, 2016. I was told after being processed it would take 5-10 business days but averaging approx 7 days but to cover themselves, they had to say 10days. I called customer service many days later asking what the procedure was because it was the first time I had an international bank wire. I was told that it would be in my account at the latest the following Tuesday. I went on that night to play on Uptown and tried to make a deposit but it would not honor any bonus matches for my deposit that I got in my emails. I went on live chat and was told that not all promos/bonus matches were for all players. I said sir, I have deposited nearly every day, every other day and I have never had a problem using match bonuses with my deposits. He said again not all players could use them. I found that baffling but my exp. with live chat has been no one on same page anyhow. I used my comp points and two days later, I tried again. Same thing. wouldn't work for bonus match so live chat again. She looked into it this time and said my account was "bonus restricted". I now got worried so I had her check my withdrawal and she gave me same day of following Tuesday at latest for my money to be in my account. She said once in a while management will go through accounts and limit when they over use bonusus. I said I have only used when I deposited or followed the rules. She said there was nothing she could do but said I could use one because I was on my ipad so it qualified but it wasn't anything I would normally waste my time or money on. So I didn't deposit. Tuesday came and went and no funds in account. I called back cust supp and the same man answered. He was very nice and tried his best to answer all my questions. He now stated that it wasn't going to be in my account until Friday July 15th. He said he had made a mistake but did admit to speaking to me before. Everyone makes mistakes and he admitted it on his own accord so no biggie. Now, I wait until Friday and I call to verify in the morning with uptown and I tell them its still not in my account. She checks and says yes it is suppose to be in today at the latest. She said my advice is to give it till end of business day. I think it should go through. I said but what if it doesn't. Now, I am counting on that money at this point so hearing I have to wait got me a little nervous. I said can you just look into now, so I'm not wasting another business day and then the weekend on top of that. She says unfortunately, you will have to wait until the end of the day. at 4PM, I call them back after calling my bank and having them keep an eye out for it also and I tell the woman it wasn't there still. She checks with her supervisor who says to tell me, wait until Tuesday. Now its only Friday, so now I am waiting the weekend and 2 more business days. I said why cant you investigate today. I asked to speak with supervisor. Morissa ( I believe her name was) gets on line and says she is sorry I was given bad information by everyone. I said but its suppose to be 10 business days tho. She said yes but I need you to wait until Tuesday. I said but then on Tuesday, it will be wait until Friday. I said I need that money as it is accounted for in my budget. She started getting very rude saying there is nothing I can do. It is out of my hands. You just have to wait. I said why cant you trace it. She said you have to wait. She said what it is you want me to do for you. I told her, I just want to be paid because it has been the required time frame and i checked to verify many many times this week because of the importance of me receiving it. I also told her I felt I was being penalized by having a bonus limitation put on my account. I was told that is because I haven't deposited in a few weeks. I said that's because I wouldn't be able to withdraw. i followed the rules. She said its not because I won. I dont believe that.Never have I been limited on bonuses matches with my deposit. I am being put off just like I was when I sent in my documents back in April and I ended up playing my winnings. I only want what is mine. If I have to play by the rules, why dont they have to?

I wanted to thank you all here at askgamblers for your help with getting my winnings from uptown aces. The complaint was closed due to the casino not responding in the end 25 days ago. I wanted to update you. They did end up doing a stop payment on my check. After nearly two weeks, and many phone calls and I hate to say...threatening them to call gambling commission, they ended paying. Somehow they reversed the stop payment . It ended up taking nearly 5 weeks in my bank account before it was available. I also had no access to my own funds during that period that had nothing to do with the payout. I was given runaround for weeks , having to call daily, deal with my bank and to be forced to live without any money from my own job, etc... It was all frozen. I was able to have access to it approx 6 days ago. On top of that, my bank account was closed because of this. This was second account closed due to uptown aces.

I also wanted to let you know they have again stopped promos from going through except for one which is nothing considering the bonuses they offer and send daily. I know this because I have played there again. Don't ask me why.... Just wanted to see how long my money would last, as I thought not very long. Not long at all. Had to see for myself. Exact Same at sister site slotocash. As a matter of fact, the emails I received towards the end of this fight were from slotocash and not uptown aces. I have since signed up with UPAY and it supposedly makes it easier to withdraw if I do indeed win. Now that I have zero bank accounts, I had to find another way if I do win. I highly doubt I would have gotten paid if this site ( askgamblers) was not here. One last thing, I didn't think they were connected, but some reason, another casino (which I wont mention unless you message me because I am not 100% sure ) has limited the amounts I can deposit weekly and monthly. When they never did before. Strange. I have read, on a complaint here actually, that it happened to someone else also at uptown and then after making a complaint here and after the complaint here was closed , the same casino that I am not mentioning that is not a sister site, had limited them as well and then in the end, closed their account for no valid reason. My account has not been closed at this unrelated casino nor at uptown or slotocash but, as mentioned, I actually gave them another shot, but they had gone back again and limited promos as they did before when they lied about it above in previous complaint. (I have proof of screenshot of promo being denied). The other persons complaint about being limited was posted on askgamblers also under uptown and is still in complaints.

I have since found a few other honorable casinos after much time and effort and trial and error. I have yet to win on any sites I am trying now , but the reviews are great, there are numerous online review sites that have matching opinions of these sites and askgamblers,in my opinion, is one of the best, their live chat is quick and if no live chat, their response time is good and the withdrawal methods are much easier. Instant in some cases. Some casinos that were not for people in the USA before, are now and these are some of highest rated. If you message me privately, I will get back to you with the names of these good sites I believe to be trustworthy. Regardless if spending money on an online casino is right or wrong or a waste or not, it is a persons choice to spend their money how they see fit and they should receive the service they pay for. If we have to honor the rules of the casino, then they should also. I didn't expect my complaint to get reopened, as I do not plan on using uptown aces again except for research for my own knowledge if I choose to, but I am happy it was as askgamblers is showing they care about what happens even after. If I was looking to just complain about the site uptown aces,I would not have emailed ask gamblers with an update saying they paid finally. But I believe a site like this should know the good also. Yes, they paid. But as for the aggravation they put me through, it wasn't worth the money I won and I would definitely not send my money again. Don't give your money to people who do not honor what they say. It was a learning experience to me. I am not "new" to online gambling but I am also not a pro by any means. I enjoy playing win or lose. But when I do win, I expect what is fair and what I paid for.

As I stated, I did receive the check but now I cannot get the funds from the check because the banks fraud department will not release the funds and will not unfreeze my account as well (which I have money not related to this check) . They will not unfreeze it until the check is verified by the company the check has been drawn on. ( I don't know if I am supposed to reveal the name of the company online that has to verify it). All I did was deposit the check into my account and two days later I call to see why I cannot log into my account at my bank anymore only to find out that I don't have access to nothing now and there is no release of the funds in sight. Therefore, now since my first account was closed due to this and their inability to wire the funds in a timely manner which put attention on my account hike awaiting the funds, and now this one is frozen and I have access to none of my money. I have no more bank accounts now. I am asking for money gram or western union to be completed ASAP as this is only method I can now receive and I don't have a penny now bc she's bank has frozen my funds until it can be verified. I can't say as to where funds came from as FA as the check so the bank wont help me get the money. I am hoping the check will have a stop payment put on it and money gram or western union issued. I will be calling them tonight to see what they say now.

Withdrawal refusal due to delay in account verification

On 4/23, I registered and rolled over with a $20 no-deposit bonus to $101.16.

In order to proceed with the withdrawal, follow the terms of service, complete the account verification, and withdraw, please bring the image of both sides of your driver's license, the image of the gas bill for proof of address, and your driver's license next to your face. A total of 3 images were sent to the document data verification team by email on April 24th.

On April 27, I received a reply that the document data was unreadable and sent the document data with increased resolution.

On May 3rd, I received a reply saying that the document data was unreadable, so I sent the document data with a high resolution of 4096 x 3072 pixels.

I have never had an experience of not being able to authenticate my account because I could not read the document data submitted to other casinos.

After that, I felt that sending more high-resolution document data would be a waste of time, so I requested that the account verification be completed with the document data I had submitted.

On May 8th, I felt that the excuse of not being able to read was unreasonable, so next time I received a new additional request that there are characters that I can not confirm and that I should send the official translated document data.

On May 11, more than 90 days had passed since the date of issue of the gas bill with proof of address that I had submitted. A request has been returned to send the translated document data.

As expected, I think that I can not exchange anymore, and I will submit a complaint.

I just want to withdraw $101 after my account has been verified with the submitted document data.

Thank you for your cooperation so that we can resolve this issue.

Bitcoin is no longer an option for me

May 7th - deposited 25.00 and activated the Bonus. After the free spins I won 49.94, assigned playthrough should of been $1498.20. Instead it showed $4494.60.

I was absolutely "ALARMED". I have never had a problem with this casino. I had won $1000 and I was having issues withdrawing that amount due to the playthrough continued to show I had not met my wagering requirements!

I immediately got on the chat and emailed the support team that I wanted to withdraw immediately. I received an email giving m2 choices 

  1. They stated I was welcome to allow 2 additional business days for the team to review my account to offer info what may have happened. All I know is that I won that money fairly did not want to wait. 
  2. If I was not pleased with waiting that I was eligible to withdraw.

Little did I know that out of the blue once I set the withdrawal up with my bitcoin, which has been the withdrawal method I have used for years with this casino, it would be thrown out of that withdrawal option! What a coincidence!

Now I am in a situation where am unable to receive Wires, due to I belong to a credit Union , they do not accept these transfers, also they do not accept out of the country checks. I explained this to the chat, there answer was to me, go open a bank account that accepts wire transfers! I explained I am disabled I am not able to do that, so they said they could not assist with any other options for me.

I find it hard to believe after all these years with no issues on Bitcoin Withdrawals that the moment I have an issue with a Wager Discrepancy that I noticed that Bitcoin is not an option for me! Amazing it still shows to be an option for everyone else and it is also being advertised as an option on the site!

I would like to receive my winnings via the only withdrawal method I have access to.

Withdrawal denial over and over

I requested a bitcoin withdrawal of $650 which I sent a chat with customer service to verify that my verification was confirmed and good since I had an issue once before with the withdrawal process and it was fixed upon sending in my verification my first time withdrawing. This would have been my second withdrawal since playing with this casino however after weeks of goi bc back and forth I have yet to receive my funds. Now my balance is up to $1200 and I would like my payout. I have reached out on multiple occasions and have been told that I was sent emails that I never received. I even reached out to my email support to ask them if there was anything in the way of receiving their emails or if they could find any issue on their end that would be keeping the emails from arriving to me. They confirmed that there were no emails sent to their server for my specific email address, so there isn’t anything blocked on my end. Upon talking to multiple chat agents. I have also asked for copies of the chat conversations between agents and me that I never received and not once has anyone from an upper level tried to contact me I have sent emails to the security team as well as support and I have screenshots to verify all of this as well as some screenshots of chats that I’ve had with agents. Their phone number does not work, so therefore I’m not able to contact anyone except through email and chat and they will not help me get in touch with anyone higher up in order to take care of this, so this was my last resort.
