Unjustified 46 day delay of a 29750 HUF refund

I am filing this formal complaint against Wazamba Casino due to an extreme and unjustified delay in processing a refund of 29,750 HUF.

Timeline of events:

February 7th, 2026: I provided my correct bank details (IBAN) via email after a previous technical error.

February 25th: I contacted Live Support, where an agent named 'Tamás' promised high-priority handling and a resolution within 48 hours.

March 25th: It has been 46 days since I provided the correct details, and 1 month since the explicit promise of a quick resolution.

I have received no updates, and my emails are being ignored. My bank (OTP Bank) has confirmed that no funds were ever received or held by them. I demand the immediate processing of my refund and a SWIFT/payment confirmation document.

Update: As of today, March 25th, my account has been locked by the casino with a false claim of too many failed login attempts. This is clearly an attempt to prevent me from accessing my account while my refund is still pending.

I am waiting for the results of your internal investigation and a final, working payment solution to receive my money.

Dear AskGamblers Team and Wazamba Casino,

I am replying to provide an update and keep this complaint active, as requested by the AskGamblers Support Team.

It has now been 4 full days since I received your email on May 18th stating that my manual withdrawal was successfully processed. My Skrill balance is still exactly 0 HUF.

Since Skrill transfers are practically instant, this delay is highly unusual. Furthermore, neither your email nor your public messages explicitly confirmed which exact payment method or account was actually used for this manual transfer.

Therefore, I firmly request the following:

Confirm exactly where the funds were sent. Please state the specific payment method and account details you used.

Check with your financial department to see if the transaction has bounced back to your system. As I clearly proved with my desktop screenshot a few days ago, my Skrill account is fully verified with absolutely zero receiving limits, so the block is definitely not on my end.

If you are experiencing persistent technical difficulties sending money to my Skrill, I kindly ask YOU to officially suggest a payment method that you can guarantee will work flawlessly. I am open to using any reliable alternative you prefer, just to finally close this 4-month-long dispute.

It is highly suspicious and unacceptable that your system is apparently unable to successfully process a simple 29,750 HUF refund using any standard payment method (neither Bank Transfer nor Skrill).

I look forward to your clear answers and the successful transfer of the funds.

Best regards,
Ákos Ondrusák

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.

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.
