Unjustified ''fraud'' accusations, withholding payments


About three weeks ago I did a couple of withdrawals in the total amount of $952. I know that this casino has one of the slowest payout systems of all, but I wanted to check with the support what was going on.
I get transfered from the finance department to the security department because my payments and account are under "review".
And all I get from the security department is a standard automated answer saying my account is being investigated for "fraudulent activity" and that my withdrawals are "on hold until further notice". Very unpolite and no other information is given.
Now, I could accept this happening one time for security reasons - but this is the SECOND time this is happening in six months. In fact - I have verified my account three (!) times since signing up with this casino: sent in all documents, someone from the casino called me etc.
I dont know what to do anymore - I keep getting treated as a criminal, all they have to do is a quick check of my playing pattern and deposits with neteller to see that I am a fair player playing with my own money.
And if there is some other reason to not processing the withdrawals, I believe that you as a loyal and honest player should be told about it.

Trying To Void Legitimate Winnings

Having Played various casinos, I wanted to play one with RTG games so I chose Sun Palace Casino. I made a minimum $25 cash deposit with no bonuses as I like to play with no “strings attached”. The last few spins on 3 Stooges part 2. I won the $383.00 jackpot. I immediately cashed out and received a letter asking for my license and copy of my bank statement. I received the following:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Thank you for contacting us! It is a pleasure to be of your assistance.

This email is to inform you that we successfully received all the documents you sent.

Your withdrawal request is pending now, once it is in Security Department you will receive a phone call of verification from us.

A few hours later I received this letter:

Payout Request Declined

Dear < personal info removed >,

We're sorry, but your MailCheck payout request of $ 390.00 USD for Account ID shoedog20 has been declined.

We thank you for your continued business and are always available if you should have any questions.

Note that they did not give any reason for the decline. I replied back asking for a reason and they claimed they didn’t receive my $25 payment due to a glitch with their processor. So how was I allowed to play? After challenging that I received this confusing letter:

Dear < personal info removed >,

Greetings from MainStreet Vegas Group!

We have just learned from our processor that your initial $25.00 deposit did not go through from your Visa card -9733 and it produced winnings.

In order to honor your payout, please proceed to deposit such amount (this deposit must be valid and duly confirmed by us). Else please provide evidence (banking statement) that the deposit in question was charged to your credit card. Unfortunately, by no circumstances we can deduct it from your winnings; that are also limited to a maximum of 5 times the credit amount used to produce them.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance four your cooperation in this matter.

Best Regards,

Alx

I checked with my bank and the deposit went through and was deducted from my account. Finally I got this letter confusing me even more:

Dear Alan,

Thanks for contacting us, in this case as the previous email said, from our end the transaction seems to be decline, now sometimes the

transaction might appear in your card, as pending transaction but this is totally normal and the money should be returning to your account

automatically in around 3-5 days depending on the bank.

For any other question please feel free to contact us via live chat.

It’s obvious to me they are trying to void a legitimate win. any help you can give me would be appreciated.
