On September 4 2017, I made a deposit of 100£ and received a bonus of 50£. I played two games dead or alive and starbursts If I remember correctly. I made a withdrawal of 1934£ the same day.

On September 5, they asked for verification documents. Which I sent to them the same day.
That day I received an email saying my bill was not valid, and they asked me to resend another one. However I told them it was correct and told them to re-check it again.

On September 6 they said the documents were fine and forwarded to processing.

On September 7, I get an email from a senior advisor stating ''Your PlayFrank account is now verified and if you have a pending withdrawal this will now be processed shortly.''

After a few hours later on the same day, I get another email from their team leader, asking me to provide a picture of me holding my id. So I sent that too them the very same day.

Next email from him was that it had been sent for processing. Since that day I have emailed them about 3-4 times and this was the response I got.

Thank you for the mail.

I can see that your documents indeed was approved on Thursday - but that the security check we have for bigger withdrawals has taken a little longer.
Since there has been a weekend in between, it can take a litte longer as well due to it not being during normal working / banking hours.

I have sent a notification further to the department in charge so that they can have a look at your withdrawal and handle it as quick as possible.
When we have gotten an update will will contact you again via mail. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions you are welcome to contact us.
I wish you a good day.



I waited and waited, and today I decided to log in to my account and go on chat, and just found out my account has been blocked.


I don't know what to do at this point. Can askgamblers help with this situation ?

Dear playfrank, that is not true at all, you have not been in direct communication with me.
The only email I received from you, stated '' Our team is looking in to the situation'' - will be resolve shortly.
Which is the same answer I have had for the past month now.

I want Askgamblers to help me regarding this situation AND one of your ''reputable' representatives help me regarding my situation.


Thank you

Payment and refund issues

So, I was happy with my playfrank account but I found it a very boring website. Not many issues with withdrawals, but sometimes they were slow. I was ok with that. I closed my account, and I was owed two payments, I was asked to provide bank details which I did, via the chat.

Ever since then it’s been hell. So after providing the details it was apparently sent to the team, then I got emails saying it was process and on its way to my bank, and then I was told it was with managers. Every time I contacted someone half the time it was a different story each time, and then another reason as to why I haven’t received my money. I understand things take time but it’s been over 9 days, and I’m constantly being told so many different things. Two people I spoke to today, have told me two different things, apparently the money has not been issued even though I was emailed saying a completely different thing and now there is technical issues and they cannot pay me due to this. The customer service is absolutely shocking and I get nothing but attitude. They was fine when I was on the account taking my money and providing me with my winnings, but it seems to be since I closed it’s nothing but dragging their feet.

Also another small withdrawal I was also told is on its way to my bank, but then an agent in the chat stated that it was going to my PayPal and already sent. I provided details to show I’ve received it, in none of these and now they are escalating it. I just feel like you get told nothing and are expected to just take it.

Verification denied and account suspended

Hi,

Last week I made a deposit of £100 to my Play Frank account, after receiving a text informing me of a 100% bonus up to £100. I played through the bonus the same day until I ended up with approx £950 cash in my account. I played completely within the terms and conditions of the bonus and opted to withdraw the funds the same day.

Shortly afterwards, I received an email requesting the following verification:

- Personal identification

- Address identification

- Proof of payment method

I supplied all of this in a timely manner and assumed this would enable them to process my withdrawal. However, I then received a further email requesting the following verification:

- Face verification

- Date verification

I have used a large number of gambling sites and this is something I have never been asked for before. I find it highly irregular, unnecessary and worrying. I see no reason why they would need this level of identification, something which I raised by return of e-mail. I repeatedly asked why this was needed and constantly received the same response of the fact it was needed for face and date verification. Obviously this is something I was already aware of; I was trying to determine why it was needed.

I eventually provided the verification required. I couldn’t do this immediately as I had to purchase a newspaper. I was finally told that my withdrawal is now being processed; this was on 19/03/19.

That night I tried logging into my play Frank account to see if I could see the status of the withdrawal, only to find my account had been blocked. After contacting them, I was then told that this was done as part of the verification process and that any pending withdrawals had been cancelled. The team told me to contact the complaints team which I did on 20/03/2019.

Since then, any of my requests are now ignored. I have been given no timescale for my "complaint" to be answered (I never asked to raise a complaint: I just want my money) and £950 of my money has seemingly disappeared into thin air. Personally, I believe the original verification process is a stalling tactic in order to hold onto customer's money for longer than is necessary.

Please let me know if you need any further information from me.

Thanks and regards,
