I followed all of the rules. I have never played at an online casino before let alone win anything. I went through a very long 2 month verification process that i was in complete compliance with. I had deposited with my credit card first, thern after my winning were approved for withdrawal i used my regular debit card to make a purchase, so they "delayed" my payment and i had to send in all new documents and more on top of that, i had misplaced my debit card i had used after the fact so it had to be cancelled...;et them know right away tried to get help and come up with a solution. Finally jan 3 everything was finalized approved and ready to go and sent. I only have the new card about a week or 2 when i was frauded online and my bank automatically cancelled my account...I had not even had the chance (irony?) to send them a copy yet...so i make a deposit early this morning...didn't think anything of it, they sure had no problems taking my money....but as soon as i try to log in i find i am banned or unable to...i emailed customer support, and i called. They refused to give me any information...and are saying now am not entitled my winnings that should have been here by now. I have done nothing wrong and have tried to speak with a manager but am refussed every time i ask. My first ever winning....and this is what i get?

Hi Tanisha--

When filing your complaint, please let the FTC know that you opened multiple accounts in differing versions of your name, email address and phone number with some of our other casinos. This is what our Fraud Team caught and it is because of this that we've refunded your deposits and closed all of your accounts.

https://www.palaceofchance.com/terms/

The Casino reserves the right to cancel your account for any reason whatsoever at any time without notice to you. Any balance in your account at the time of such cancellation may be credited to you, however, the Casino reserves the right, in its unfettered discretion, to void any winnings and confiscate any balance in your casino account in any circumstances including:

a) If there is evidence to suggest that you have more than one active account for the Casino;

d) If you provide incorrect or misleading registration, account or identification information;

l) If the Casino should become aware that you have played at any other on-line casino under any of the circumstances set out at I) to X) above

Regarding the refunds, these can take several weeks as they go through third-party processors--this is nothing like going to a department store and your credit appears on your card within a few days.

ok, and i will do the same....tawni...where is my refund? did you send over proof of that? because if you did, it's a bold face lie. i have every bank statement sitting in front of me to prove you are either being dishonest, or there was an error on your guys part, because my end shows a much different story. At this point i just want my money back like you said and several other of the palace of chance employees have told me. Askgamblers i will e-mail my end of the proof that they are not being honest, then im ending my official complaint to the FTC. I tried Tawni, How do you sleep at night doing what you do to people? This obviously isnt going to get resolved because palace of chance are liars. I have already filled an informal complaint with the FTC and was really hoping you all would do the right thing and just refund me my money you said you would, but i guess not. Consider this your notice that a complaint is being filed formally against palace of chance for violation of consumer rights and fraud. Have a great day Tawni

Palace of Chance Casino - Breach of Written Verification and Obstruction of Withdrawal

Casino: Palace of Chance (RTG Network)

Account Name and details: < removed >

Complaint Details:

On September 6, 2026, I received an email from Palace of Chance support agent Ethan J. requesting standard identity verification documents. I promptly submitted my full verification package. To ensure compliance, I ultimately submitted these documents a total of six times—twice through the casino's internal platform and four separate times via email.

On September 7, 2026, I received official, written confirmation from George Andrews on the Palace of Chance verification team stating clearly: "Your account is now verified!".

However, upon attempting to process a legitimate withdrawal of [Insert Withdrawal Amount], the casino arbitrarily revoked my verified status. They initiated extra-contractual, moving-goalpost KYC demands to intentionally obstruct the payout. Specifically, they demanded a "full-arm selfie" while holding my ID, a physical requirement that creates a focal distance making document legibility impossible.

Palace of Chance is utilizing predatory delay tactics and ignoring their own written verification approvals to avoid paying a winning player. I have attached all correspondence, including the September 7th verification approval. I am requesting immediate intervention to compel Palace of Chance to honor their written verification notice, restore my account to Fully Verified status, and clear all pending withdrawals immediately.

Delayed 2500

I deposited thousand across the virtual casino group, I played for hours and got to $2500! No playthru, maintained steady bet of 2$. Made sure my account was fully verified and I’d documents approved. Requested my withdrawal via coindraw& and got was given a short 3 day timeline till I received. The day before payment was to be sent, coindraw option was removed from my account. So on 9/9 I had to cancel and re-request via bitcoin. Was given the 7-10 business days timeline for approval. Now 9:23 and still not approved or showing any signs of sending. Really hope I can get my funds quickly or at least in the time period I’d was given so I can trust playing here in the future

10th day passed it hasn't been approved and nothing had changed

On Apr, 28, 11:10 I deposited $49.99 at Palace of Chance Casino with a bonus code 350NORULES or 350% adding up to my fund. I played slots for a while to complete the wager requirement. At 12:25 I made a withdraw. My documents had been approved months before so I thought that the withdrawal should not take so long.
They told me the withdrawal process would take 7-10 business days to be approved.
Huge disappointment but I waited patiently.
Now the 10th day passed it hasn't been approved and nothing had changed. They never sent me an email to tell me anything. I kept asking the live chat but they were helpless and they told me about escalation, which I don't even know what it is. They say that the escalation would take about 24-72 hours and then the withdrawal will be approved. They didn't mention about the escalation thing before.
I'm afraid that they will keep adding more procedures to delay the payment. This is not fair. Pleas help me deal with them.
Thank you for your help.

Withdrawal pending 40 days

Hi AskGamblers,

I need your help

On February 18th, 2026, I made a withdrawal of $1,040. On March 6th of 2026, it was declined. I chatted with them, and they told me that I needed to send them a new bank statement, which I did. They emailed me back telling me they had received it and they will be reviewing it.

On the same day, then on March 6th of 2026, I withdrew again $1,040 like they told me to do.

On March 10th, 2026, that one was declined for the second time. I spoke to someone there, and they told me that it was still being reviewed, and I asked them well how did it get declined again for a second time, and they had no answer for me other than just be patient, we're reviewing it.

I patiently asked them when I should make my request for a withdrawal, and they said to do it now, which I did on March 10th, 2026, for $1,040.

It is now March 30th, 2026, and it is still pending approval.

It has been 40 days since the original request for my withdrawal. They have all my paperwork, and my status on the document shows that everything is approved

AskGamblers, please help me take care of the situation thanks

Issues with the withdrawal method via wire transfer

In August, I decided to finally give the promotions a go on the site and deposited 100$ for a 250% deposit bonus match, I think-- some kinda huge match bonus though.

I played through the wagering requirement and also had a manager withdrawal of the coupon $100 from my winnings.

I've been trying to initiate a wire transfer for my winnings. Canadian player here banking with < removed >and also tried < removed > for wire info. After trying < removed > 2x, I contacted support, numerously actually, support stated < removed > does not accept international wire transfers, which doesn't make sense to me because my first time doing a wire transfer, I phoned customer service for < removed > & received all the information I needed for the wire transfer on Palace of Chance.

3rd time asking for support on what banks can accept the wire transfer, the closest answer I received was < removed > .

So I researched CAD banks that accept international wire transfers. I came across that my < removed > account has a wire transfer, and the information is < RBC >, so I sent the new information to POC email support, and once again.. they declined my withdrawal request!!

Not sure what to do from here on.

I even tried to ask if I can just withdraw using Coindraw, as I do have crypto wallets, but bcoz I didn't deposit using crypto, I guess I'm not eligible for that option.

I did make a deposit for confirmation wallet, though a few months back, but the currency is USD and I'm CAD, so the amount was too low for it 🙃

Help pls!

Have not paid my withdrawal

Waiting for withdrawal.

They stated 5 more business days, and nothing.

It’s been wayyyy past that.

I have a chat history of the 5-day system, plus the attachment photo.

I have continuously reached out, and they kept telling me it’s been approved and will be deposited.

I have asked at least 5 times with the same EXACT response, and no payment

Problems with getting my withdrawal

In March 2025, I won $3,500 playing on Palace of Chance Casino. Since then, the casino has refused to process my withdrawal despite me following every instruction they provided. I deposited with both Bitcoin and a credit card. When I requested a withdrawal in Bitcoin, they denied it, claiming it was not allowed.I then requested a check; this was also denied.I provided my bank account information for a wire transfer, but they rejected my bank. They specifically told me I needed to use a bank like Bank of America. I opened a Bank of America account and waited 30 days to provide the required full statement with a positive balance of $20, as they instructed.Nearly eight months later, after complying with all of their requests and resubmitting information multiple times, they again refused my withdrawal. Today they told me my Bank of America account “does not meet the requirements of the payment processor.”This is a clear pattern of intentional delay and refusal to pay legitimate winnings. Palace of Chance has repeatedly changed its requirements, each time denying a valid payout method after I complied, and has now effectively stolen both my $3,500 winnings and the money I originally deposited.

My missing payments

I won my payouts and it took me months to get them and when they did send them they sent them to the wrong address claiming they sent them to my address which I know I never did give them this address cuz I don't even have that address as a wallet. I don't know what to do I'll share with you all the chats I had with them so long to get them to pay me out and they didn't even pay me out the right one it's it's still baffling. I don't know what to do but I know they didn't pay me they paid someone else. And since I'm disabled that really really chats my hide because I was counting on that money. That's too bad that people are doing things like this to people it's a shame.
