Froze my account and did not payout

Message on forum

I played on Wazamba because they had a decent bonus. I first contacted support asking if there is any verification needed to withdraw, they told me that it was not needed. I always ask this because I don’t want my funds tangled up.

So I deposited and played, hitting my first 5k X on a slot and hit the wager requirements after a long time. I submitted a withdrawal request and waited patiently. After 6 days, they asked for my ID to withdraw. Ok, weird since they already said it was not needed, but fine, I provided it to them as I wanted to withdraw my big winnings for once. Waiting again, 2 more days go by, I see that there a $27 withdrawal has been processed.

Since what I withdrew was $501 and not $27, I tried logging in and saw my account was frozen. I contacted live chat support and they told me to contact them via email. The best thing is that their email support has ignored me for the past 2 weeks and hasn’t replied to any of my previous queries but fair enough, I send in a new request to their email support and still no reply. Until now, no withdrawal, no answer, and I had to wait over a week for this.

What a scam. Subsequent contacts to their live chat just result in them saying the same thing and refusing to answer

Since I can’t attach a file of my winnings, here is a link instead to the 5k X spin.

I literally deposited, and played on your site, hit a big win and you call that fraud? I even provided my ID already so you know that the info I signed up with is legitimate. You sent 0 proof of anything to me or on here. If anyone is reading this, it just seems as if you are dodging payment.

Account closure delayed

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding Wazamba’s handling of my request for permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction and the losses I incurred after I had clearly disclosed my gambling problem.

On 29 May 2026 at 11:51, I explicitly requested to “self exclude permanently due to a gambling addiction.” Despite this, my account remained active, allowing me to continue gambling and incur further losses. The losses after that day are 2914 euros.

Once a customer discloses a gambling addiction or requests self-exclusion, licensed operators are required to take immediate action to prevent further gambling. Instead of enforcing my request immediately, Wazamba encouraged me to consider a temporary cooling-off period and asked me to reconfirm my decision while my account remained open. They also offered new bonuses even though I had already informed them about my gambling problem.

I believe Wazamba failed to meet its responsible gambling obligations. My request was clear and unambiguous, and the delay in applying my self-exclusion directly contributed to my losses. I therefore request a full refund of all deposits and losses incurred after my self-exclusion request on 29 May 2026, together with written confirmation that my account has been permanently closed. A previous case from user Annemarie C is exactly the same as mine.

Retroactive Modification of a Completed Tournament

Hello,

I would like to file a complaint against Wazamba Casino.

I participated in a tournament that ran from May 25 to May 31, 2026. I finished in 4th place, and the advertised prize for this position was €700.
Throughout the tournament, I spent my own money and time competing to achieve the best possible result. At no point during the tournament was I informed that the event might be considered invalid due to an insufficient number of participants.
Only after the tournament had ended, and after several emails to customer support, I was informed that the prize would not be paid because the tournament allegedly had fewer than 50 participants.
I believe this is unfair. If the tournament did not meet the minimum participation requirement, players should have been informed before or during the tournament, not after it had ended and after they had spent money competing.
I have contacted Wazamba support several times, but they have refused to review my case or provide any compensation.
I kindly ask AskGamblers to review this complaint and help resolve this dispute.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Sándor Surányi

Account Closed Remaining Balance Unresolved

My account was closed by the casino as an administrative decision (according to support chat). Before the closure, one of my withdrawal requests was successfully processed. However, there was still approximately €1000 remaining in my account balance.

After the account was closed, I lost access to the account and therefore I am unable to verify the balance or access my account history.

Since then, I have repeatedly contacted the casino requesting clarification regarding the status of my remaining funds. The casino has only provided generic responses stating that my case was forwarded to the relevant department and is under review.

Despite waiting for several weeks, I have not received any clear answer.

Thank you for your help.

Complaint not answered

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding Wazamba’s handling of my request for permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction and the subsequent losses incurred after I had clearly disclosed my gambling problem.
On 6 May 2026 at 08:56 EEST, I explicitly informed Wazamba that I wished to “self exclude on a permanent basis due to a gambling addiction.” Despite this clear disclosure, my account remained active and I was able to continue gambling, resulting in losses after my request had been made.
Under Irish gambling legislation and responsible gambling obligations applicable to licensed operators, once a player discloses a gambling addiction or requests self-exclusion, operators are required to take immediate protective action. These obligations include:
Facilitating immediate self-exclusion.
Closing or restricting the account where requested.
Preventing further gambling activity.
Ceasing marketing and inducements.
Acting where there are reasonable grounds to believe a customer is experiencing gambling-related harm.
Instead of immediately enforcing the exclusion request, I was encouraged to consider temporary cooling-off periods and was asked to reconfirm my decision, while my account remained operational. During this period, I continued to gamble and suffer significant financial losses.
I do not believe Wazamba fulfilled its duty of care or its responsible gambling obligations in my case. My original request was clear, unambiguous, and specifically referenced gambling addiction. The failure to act immediately directly contributed to further losses.
As a result, I formally request:
A full refund of all deposits and losses incurred after my initial self-exclusion request on 6 May 2026.
Written confirmation that my account has been permanently closed and excluded.
Confirmation that my personal details have been removed from all marketing communications.
A copy of Wazamba’s responsible gambling escalation procedures and complaint handling policy.
Wazamba have not answered my complaint sent on the 14th of May 2026.

Pending Withdrawal and delayed transaction

Dear ASKGAMBLERS Team,

I am writing to complain about my pending withdrawal request, which I have been waiting for for 6 days.

According to the usual processing times, withdrawals are typically completed within a shorter period, but my payment has not yet been received. I don't think it's worth waiting any longer, if they wanted to send it, they would have sent it long ago.

Here are my details for reference:

< personal information removed >

Withdrawal amount: 40000HUF = 112,98 EUR

Transaction date: 23/05/2026

Transaction id: 1e624341-5a77-4738-a796-42d725ba543f

I would appreciate a clear update on when I can expect the funds to be processed.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Casino will not pay

I put in a withdrawal request on May 3rd. Today is May 13 and no payout all I keep getting told is there are delays and thank you for your patience. I have all chats and emails to support my claim. Their terms of service state 3 days. I have contacted them on numerous occasions and keep getting the run around answer. Everything is an excuse as to why they can’t process the withdrawal. They have even given me excuses that the payment provider was down which it wasn’t because I contacted them. All I want is my funds sent and stop making excuses. After doing a lot of research online it sounds like this happens often there.

Ignoring and attempts to delay the payment

Hi.

On 03/29/2026, I sent a withdrawal request in the amount of 500 euros, which was successfully credited to my wallet. After that, there were still around 600 euros left on my account, which I also wanted to withdraw, but I couldn't do it right away, because the site has a withdrawal limit of 1 every 24 hours and no more than 500 euros at a time.

Logged in the next day after the call to receive 1 request for withdrawal of 500 euros, and you will receive a notification that the "Account is frozen". Wazamba blocked 600 euros, which stopped at the account after the withdrawal of the first 500 euros.

I contacted the support service, where they told me that they would contact me by email. I haven't received any messages for several days. I found information on the 2nd page about what I did and what the name of the house was. I found out that this is possible due to the fact that Wazamba is called "Requesting payment details for manual withdrawal".

I immediately sent a reply to the message, providing all the necessary details for withdrawing funds to my bank account. Today is 05/06/2026. The funds have not been credited to my account.

I tried to find out how long it takes to pay into the account upon registration, but they did not answer me. I also did not receive a reply to my email stating that I had been contacted at work. I get standard unsubscriptions in the support chat, and it all looks like an attempt to delay time so that I forget and leave them the money I won...

To be honest, I'm shocked that I was lucky enough to win 1,100 euros, 500 of which you sent to my wallet, and the last 600 you decided to simply block the account.

Help me solve this problem so that the remaining 600 euros can be sent to the banking details that I sent to Wazamba in their message in my mailbox.

Thank you.

Casino not processing withdrawal

Hello,

I would like to report my current situation regarding a casino withdrawal. I have a total of €1,756 in my account, but so far I was only allowed to withdraw €1,500, as that is apparently their maximum limit per transaction. I requested the withdrawal on Sunday at around 10 AM, and I still haven’t received the money.

For now, I am still waiting, but I want to have this publicly documented in case there are any delays or issues. I also have screenshots as proof of my balance and withdrawal request. Additionally, I did not use any bonus funds, so there are no wagering requirements involved.

I hope the withdrawal will be processed properly and without complications, as expected.

If anyone has had similar experiences or knows how long withdrawals usually take, I would appreciate your input.

Thank you

Major payment delay

I won 13500$ and im only able to withdraw 750 at a time. The issue is that my withdrawals are taking a very long time, I requested a withdrawal on the 25th of March and its now April 6th. Since I have a lot to withdraw its going to take me ages to withdraw my full win. I already emailed support about this issue but the withdrawal is still pending as of today. I would like help to solve this delay and get my win in a timely manner. Thank you.
