Unpaid winnings of £23,500


I won £23,500 in August with playfrank casino, completed their verification process as requested. Account was successfully verified but winnings have not been paid out.

The casino are staying quiet and are not responding to emails, if I try to contact live chat I am being told to wait for a response.

I understand it is large amount of money, but it was legitimately won and there is absolutely no reason why payout had not occurred

I will once again attempt to upload the information in the correct format. As I said for some reason it’s coming out as a pdf.

This is just an example of how this casino is making me jump through hoops even when they have been PROVEN to be wrong.

Avoid at all costs

Hi can I ask if you have requested them to send their information to me, in order to make this as clear and transparent as possible.
I have sent you the requested information however it has generated as a PDF. The instructions you sent were not clear
I will try again to get the file type you require

Dear @garethwil19,

Please answer to our post from 10th of May. We hope you may understand that since you got accused for forging the document in question, eml file would be needed in order for our team to make additional review of the document. Let us remind you once again, that our support agent had provided you with all the needed info and explanation in regards of the download in question.

Please understand that without the needed file and your consent to share it with the casino, there would be unfortunately no other option for AskGamblers Complaints Team but to Reject the case upon player's inactivity and it will be closed accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation

Hi,

I am happy to share the file with you and need to use a desktop to do this as my phone doesn’t seem to have the correct software to do it. I should be able to do that in the next couple of days.

However, I am not prepared for you to share information with everym­atr­ix/­Pla­yfrank, purely because you are not intending to hold them to the same standards. I have asked on several occasions on this forum if you can share the information that have shared with you and you have not responded to that request.
This is also now going to small claims court and I will them be able to instruct bailiffs to recover the funds from this company

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,

Will < surname removed >
