Still waiting on full withdrawal

A couple months ago I withdrew $1,250 from RomeCasino, which was evidently approved on May 29 (based on correspondence from the finances guy, Walter).

First time withdraws are supposed to expect an 18 business day wait after your forms have been submitted and approved. It is now July 6 (well over 18 days) and I have still been waiting for my withdrawal.

I have communicated with Walter before, but responses have been extremely slow (maybe a week wait or more for a reply), and also my account manager (Ben B) and sent one e-mail to Noah, and I have not heard back from either of them. The live chat support is not helpful on the matter, and only refer me to finance (though they are pretty helpful with in-game stuff). Last week, Walter sent me a message telling me that RomeCasino was at fault for the delay and I should expect the payment this week. It is now the end of the week.

A couple days ago I received $473 in my bank account, which I am presuming is from RomeCasino since I am not expecting any other payment. It's hard to tell the because the names on the statements don't look anything like "RomeCasino." But this is of course well short of $1250, and I have inquired as to whether receiving a few smaller amounts (rather than one lump sum) is standard protocol, and also when I could expect the rest, but with no answer.

I'm hoping this can be resolved soon.

People new to this casino should be aware however that receiving payments can be exceedingly slow, and withdrawing comes with a $50 wiring fee, so I'm not sure how small-stakes people are supposed to make money. I'm also not sure why I paid the fee if the transaction could not be done in a timely manner.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

Perhaps both parties here need a lesson in basic english. A mistake I won't make again.

It would be nice to see online casinos care more for their customers rather than mindlessly cite what wiggle room they can get out of the terms and conditions, even though both parties here were clearly irresponsible.

AskGamblers, I suppose you can consider this settled.

Hi Chris,

The withdrawal being approved does not mean it was not subject to regular procedure. You were approved to withdraw, and then it was adjusted according to the amount you were allowed to withdraw. Adjusting the amount in accordance with the terms (which are in no way a 'bible' but are similar to the size of other online casino lengths), is not in any way disqualifying it. The actual terms are not for me to debate, you can discuss that with the casino itself. I do take to heart your words and I will recommend some procedures taken place to making players understand the amount was adjusted according to the terms.

Basically Chris, you won without reading the terms, you didn't understand what you were about to get, you were delayed, that is true, and we failed to notify you of the change, because we assumed you know the rules, as we usually assume with players who gamble with their real money. The perceived fairness or unfairness of the rules in your eyes has nothing to do with it. Honestly, when I play, I read every single word to make sure I know what to expect, whether losing or winning, and I think you know you should have done the same.

I will speak to the Casino to see if we can get you comped without a deposit.

Kind Regards,

Noah

I'd also point out that those are very odd Terms and Conditions....you are basically excluding all low-stakes players from wanting to be there. They need to pay $50 to withdraw, and they have no chance of hitting big. I think it would be beneficial for you and your players to re-consider in the future...

Rome Casino 20K win Refuses To Release My Winnings And has removed the winnings from my account said they will give me $150

I won 20,000 dollars through this casino and now they refuse to allow me to withdraw the winnings. When I spoke with live help I was told I needed to play another $3000 play through then I would be able to start withdrawing the winnings at 1500 a week. I played this and once processing the withdrawal I had a question regarding the numbers they were requesting and was told to contact Angela. This is a copy of the message she sent back to me today: Hi Gwen,

You are not eligible to withdraw your balance since the entire balance was
accumulated from almost two years of free chips.

I have adjusted your balance to $150--- which is how much you ARE eligible
to withdraw from a free chip.

Also, you must deposit in the current calendar year in order to make a
withdraw from a free chip, so keep that in mind as well.

If you do decide to deposit and then withdraw the $150 in your account, the
fee will only be taken once and you will just need your account number and
routing number.

Please let me know if you have any more questions. I apologize for the
surprise but these rules are stated clearly in our Terms and Conditions.

Kind Regards,
Angela J.
Account Manager

I have made screen shots of my winnings and of conversations with the live help. I was never once told that they would take the winnings away. How disappointing this is to have won over 20,000 and to have them say nope sorry you can have $150. This is beyond unfair and dishonest. I hope someone will see how dishonest this casino is and save their time and money. Thank you. Gwen
