Delays payment then throwing unjustified accusations
I have been a user of Winward Casino for a couple of months but hadn’t had any decent wins until recently. Over the time being a member, I would have spent a fair amount of money with them.
Almost two weeks ago, I finally had a win but noticed I there was a bonus attached to my deposit so had to play through the required amount before any amount was withdrawalable - which I understood and did so.
Luckily, I had a couple of additional wins after I had played through the required bonus wager, resulting in $4000 being withdrawalable (it was higher but I continued to play down to this amount).
I then requested to withdraw this amount via wire transfer. I had already fully verified my account.
After exactly 3 days (72 hours) which is their pending time, the money appeared back in my casino credit, rather than being paid out. I know now that this is a common tactic that this casino uses to stall pay outs.
As they didn’t advise me of why it had been returned I got in touch with them and their very rude chat staff told me there had been an issue with the wire transfer but all was okay, I just needed to contact Accounting by email. That was Friday and I wouldn’t receive a response till Monday, so, after emailing them, I put through another request to withdraw the $4000 but this time by Bitcoin.
Accounts emailed me late on Monday to say that this would be processed 72 hours from the time I put it through, which was last night.
I followed this up yesterday and they advised it was all looking good and they would process it as soon as possible.
Then, not that I was too surprised, the funds were again returned to my account.
This time, as soon as I noticed this, I went online to chat about it and was quickly told some excuse about not meeting the terms of the bonus which I strongly disagreed with yet they said that none of my winnings were valid.
They were very rude and it was obvious they were using tactics to delay payment or avoid payment.
I am shocked by the handling of this. First the inexcusable delays to processing the withdrawal and then making up that I didn’t meet the bonus terms when I was conscious to follow them.
I am requesting that my winnings are paid out as is fair.
If this does not happen the this casino should be blacklisted for ripping of loyal customers who have genuine winnings.
