Hello Askgamblers, i write you because i have a problem with winner casino.
Here is my issue.
I made deposit at Winners from 200 GBP with paypal and make profit from 1050 GBP from my cash balance. My account was automated verified since i am UK residence, so i request withdraw via PayPal, but i did not receive it, so i ask them on live chat what is the problem and they write me to send my ID and bank statement for verification, so i send them my needed documents and next day my account was close and they just send me back the deposit from 200 and confiscate the rest 850 GBP. So I try to write them e-mail to ask why, but i did not have any answer or what so ever. So can you help me with that, because it is not fare, i deposit made a profit from my real cash, not bonus profit, my account was automated verified and they just close with no reason at all.

Refusing to Accept POA Document

Winner Casino have provided me with the worse customer service I have ever known, I won a small amount of £1888 in the casino wallet, and they asked for some documents to verify my account. I sent them all different type of documents, however they come back to me and told me that my bank statement was out of date. This was fair enough so I sent them a printed bank statement of my Coop Bank, which again they did not accept because it was printed. This was rather frustrating, but I wanted my withdrawal so I phoned up coop bank and asked them to change my paperless setting to send statements through the post, so I could get an official bank statement.

After 2 week I eventually got a official bank statement from coop through the post, which is perfectly valid and within date. I can even email this to you (ASK GAMBLERS) to show how official it is. However when I send it to winner, they are now saying the statement I have sent is the wrong type, and when I ask them what is a wrong type they just say they cannot explain futher.

Sorry but Coop bank is the only bank I am with and I live with my parents so dont have any other utility bill so I want Winner Casino, to stop using delaying tactics and just accept my document and ultimately pay me my winnings! The Statement even shows the deposit made to winner casino, and they are still refusing it, its awful and they should be ashamed.

Please verify and pay me my winnings Winner Casino

Unable to make withdrawal

I have made my first deposit of 2500 Eur on 29. October and played a little bit of poker that day. I needed my money and I have made withdraw request on 30. October which was declined. I have received an email that I did not wager enough of my deposited funds in order to make a withdraw. After that, I was contacted by their representative which asked a lot of question and asked me to send them my paychecks from the bank for the last 3 months which I did: I have also verified my account before that. After that, they have sent me an email that my account is verified and that I need to rollover my deposit in order to make a withdrawal but rollover must be done in casino section and they have told me that I cannot play poker on their site anymore and they have blocked poker games for me. I thought I will try to lose as less as I can and decided to play roulette. I have played 67 roulette games where I covered every single number on roulette and I was losing 1Eur per round. I made rollover of 2500 euros and thought I can make a withdraw now but my withdrawal request was declined again with the explanation that only slots have 100% wager percentage contribution and roulette has only 25%. I tried to make a withdraw in the amount of only 20Eur but was declined again. I have sent them a few emails but they were not responding and they blocked live chat for me. I have called them and tried to get an explanation for all of that but they are just telling me that this is their decision and that I have to play some casino games in order to make a withdraw. My only purpose of depositing there was for playing poker and I do not feel comfortable to play casino games which they are forcing me to play. Basically, they are forcing me to lose my money on purpose. I have called them today again and asked from them to allow me to play poker and that I will play as much as they want because I know how to do it but they said because of security reasons poker will continue to be blocked for me. After that I have asked from them to close my account and if they want they can take some fee on my funds but they have said that it can not be done before I rollover my deposited amount in casino section. This is written in their terms and conditions:

"Closing your Account

53. If you wish to close your Account, please contact Customer Services (our contact details can be found here). You can do so at any time, provided that your Account is not expected to become in debit/deficit pursuant to any liabilities incurred through your gaming activities. On closing your Account, we will return the balance to you in accordance with the provisions of the "Deposits and withdrawals" section above."

I do not want to lose more of my money, I have already lost 67 Eur on purpose thinking I will be able to make a withdraw but now they are forcing me to play other games. Please help me with this, I am open to playing poker on their site to make needed rollover or for paying the fee for withdrawing the money.

Thank you

Missing funds from a huge 400,000 ZAR win

Please see credit balance is Rand . The following week I was away . Once returned and wanted to check with them if I can withdraw my money and it was missing . They then said there is no trace of my R400 000 that was in my account . Once I escalated this to them , they said that checks were done and they couldn’t find any form of unauthorized access to my account , I asked for proof of these checks and no one can provide me with such . I have been begging and asking for answers for the past 4 days and no one can help me . My account is safe as I didn’t give anyone permission to play on my account . I asked them multiple times if I can please get my money but they refused . I also asked if it will be safe with them and they assured me it will be . Now they are accusing me of this and I have no idea where my money has gone to . This is a very urgent matter and can’t just be ignored

Wouldn't let me withdraw my money

Hi, I won around £680 which wasn't bonus money but from direct deposits from credit cards. I tried to withdraw these winnings but was told I couldn't as they were linked to a bonus. Totally false. I had already lost my sign up bonus so this was new money not linked to previous bets. I phoned customer service and was put on hold 3 times for over 5 minutes. The rep mentioned something about waiting 24 hours but no other website makes you wait this long for a withdrawal. Keeping somebody's winnings amounts to stealing in my opinion and am really surprised this company has a licence. Really poor at everything.
