Request for explanation and refunrd due to unjustified deduction in withdrawal


1 year ago
On December 7, 2024, I requested a withdrawal from the Rabona betting platform for an amount of S/ 3,554 (in two parts: one of S/ 2,000 and another of S/ 1,554), following the same procedure I had used previously. However, the amount deposited into my bank account was only S/ 2,867.74, representing an excessive and unjustified deduction of S/ 684.26. In previous withdrawals made on this same platform, I always received the full amount requested.

This issue coincides with a change in Rabona’s withdrawal process, as this time I was asked to provide an additional piece of information (the BIC code), which was not previously required. Noticing this irregularity, I contacted my bank, BCP, on the same day the deposit was made (December 13, 2024). The bank confirmed that they did not apply any additional charges and that the exact amount deposited was the one indicated by the sender: S/ 2,867.74. They advised me to contact Rabona to clarify the situation and mentioned that it was highly likely that third parties were involved on Rabona’s end. If that were the case, I was never informed about this or any changes in the withdrawal process.

I proceeded to send multiple emails to Rabona between December 13 and December 22, 2024, requesting information about:

The intermediary used in the transaction (if applicable).
The reasons why I did not receive the full amount requested (emphasizing that I had never had issues before).
The changes in the withdrawal process, as there had never been deductions or problems before (and, most importantly, I was never asked for the BIC code before).
Rabona responded by stating that the issue was the responsibility of BCP, but they did not provide any evidence or information to support their claim. Since BCP already confirmed that they did not intervene in the deposited amount, I believe Rabona is failing to take responsibility for the issue. The change in the process was made by Rabona, not by BCP.

Additional background:

The deducted amount is significant and has severely affected me.
The platform did not inform me in advance of any changes in the withdrawal process that could impact the received amount.
Rabona did not provide a receipt, invoice, or proof of the transaction, making it impossible to identify the intermediary or the applied charges.
(https­://­rab­ona­-96­63.c­om­/es/) – It is frustrating that, despite being a public platform allowing Peruvian players, Rabona does not have the necessary visible information, such as its corporate name, license number, main address, etc.

Dear @gabrielaramirez,

The AskGamblers Complaint Team would like to remind you that the casino management, as well as the relevant payment processor used for processing their transactions, cannot be held responsible for the fees charged by an intermediary bank. We therefore have no other choice but to close the case as Resolved.

In addition, we would like to remind you that, in case of disagreement with this outcome, further assistance on the matter may be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or the appointed ADR entity.

Change in the process without prior notice:
In all my previous withdrawals, I always used the same method (bank transfer), receiving the full amount within very short periods of time. However, in my last withdrawal, additional information such as the ICC and BIC/SWIFT code were requested, information that had never been requested before. This change, which coincided with the delay and the deduction of the amount, cannot be considered a mere coincidence. It is evident that a new procedure was implemented or the withdrawal provider was changed, and this was never communicated to users.

Consolidation of two withdrawals into a single transaction:
I made two separate withdrawals, but both amounts arrived in my account as a single, combined transaction, which is not the usual procedure. If the withdrawals are made separately, it is logical that they would also arrive separately. This change also reinforces that there was an internal change in their process, without any prior notification.

Responsibility for intermediary bank fees:
I contacted my bank, and they confirmed that the amount they received was S/ 2,867.74, with a discount already applied. They informed me that intermediary banks likely deducted fees, which is understandable as long as there was prior warning. However, Rabona never communicated that third-party fees could now be applied, which represents a lack of transparency.

Conclusion:

I understand that the discount was not made directly by Rabona, but since they did not previously inform me about these changes to the withdrawal process (they did not notify me by email, live chat, or on the withdrawal page), nor about the possibility of charges by intermediary banks, you are responsible for the consequences of this omission.

For all the above reasons, I kindly request a refund of the deducted amount, as it was a financial loss caused by a change in your system that was not communicated at any time. Before this change, I always received my funds in full and without delay, which reinforces my position that the problem stems solely from internal changes that were not reported on your part.

Dear all,

We would like to kindly inform you that the player is receiving a reduced amount because his own bank is applying fees or charges to these transactions.
These deductions are not mande on our end, but rather by the receiving bank as part of their processing or service fees.

Dear gabrielaramirez,

We kindly reccomend that you contact your bank directly to obtain a detailed breakdown of the charges and to confirm th exact reaon for the reduced amount received.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind Regards,

Account under review funds inaccessible

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I am submitting a complaint regarding my Rabona account, which has been placed under review while I still have funds on the account and a pending withdrawal.

At the time, I had approximately NOK 103,000 in total funds associated with my Rabona account, consisting of approximately NOK 83,000 in available balance and a NOK 20,000 pending withdrawal. I cannot currently access my account to verify the exact amount.

However, I have a screenshot from September 6, 2026 showing an available balance of NOK 82,306.89 while a NOK 20,000 withdrawal was pending. This means that the screenshot directly documents NOK 102,306.89 in total available balance plus the pending withdrawal.

The withdrawal details shown in my account were:

Amount: NOK 20,000

Payment method: Solana

Date: September 6, 2026, 12:44:32

Transaction ID: de2a826f-a519-4e16-9d7d-de7e897c6988

Status: Under review

At the time, my account was also subject to Rabona’s applicable withdrawal limits. The NOK 20,000 withdrawal remained pending, and I was unable to withdraw the remaining balance because of the applicable withdrawal limits.

I am now unable to access my account. When I attempt to log in, Rabona displays a message stating that my account is under review.

I have contacted Rabona Support regarding this matter. I received confirmation that my requests were received and would be reviewed by their customer service team. However, I have not received a substantive explanation regarding the reason for the account review, the status of my funds, or the pending withdrawal.

I have previously received successful withdrawal confirmations from Rabona, which I can provide as additional supporting documentation.

I would therefore kindly ask AskGamblers to assist me in obtaining clarification from Rabona regarding:

1. The reason my account has been placed under review.

2. The exact balance held on my account when the review was initiated.

3. The status of my NOK 20,000 withdrawal.

4. Whether any additional verification or documentation is required from me.

5. If Rabona intends to withhold or cancel any of my funds, I would like them to identify the specific reason and the relevant provision of their Terms and Conditions.

I am fully willing to cooperate with any legitimate verification or documentation request from Rabona.

I have attached the available evidence, including the screenshot showing my NOK 82,306.89 balance and pending NOK 20,000 withdrawal, the account-under-review message, my correspondence with Rabona Support, and evidence of previous completed withdrawals.

Thank you for your assistance.

Delayed withdrawal processing

I am submitting this complaint regarding significant delays in the processing of my withdrawal requests at Rabona Casino.

I am a verified player and a VIP customer. My winnings were obtained through legitimate real-money slot play without the use of any bonuses or promotional offers. I have not been asked to provide any additional verification documents.

I currently have three withdrawal requests pending (5,000 NOK, 5,000 NOK, and 8,000 NOK). All of these requests have remained in the "Processing" status since they were submitted on 27/07/26, with no visible progress.

Before making these withdrawal requests, my VIP manager assured me that my VIP status would result in expedited withdrawal processing and informed me that the finance department had been instructed to prioritize my account. Despite these assurances, the withdrawals remain unprocessed.

I have contacted customer support several times. The only response I have received is that the finance department is working on my case and that there is nothing further I need to do. No estimated processing time has been provided, and no explanation has been given for the continued delay.

My concern is not simply the waiting time but the complete lack of transparency. As a verified VIP customer who has complied with all applicable requirements, I believe it is reasonable to expect timely processing or, at the very least, a clear explanation for the delay.

I request that AskGamblers contact Rabona Casino and ask them to:

* Process my pending withdrawal requests without further unnecessary delay.

* Provide a clear explanation for the prolonged processing time.

* Confirm that there are no outstanding verification or compliance issues preventing payment.

I am prepared to provide screenshots of my withdrawal requests, account balance, correspondence with customer support, and messages from my VIP manager confirming that my withdrawals would be prioritized.

Thank you
