Winward casino - Does everything to not pay AUD 3,900

I began playing at winward maybe 4 months ago, I have deposited something like $9000AUD but can't check that since they have now disabled my account with no notice.

Initially they wait a week before denying payment, the reasons they give each week are different and they never ask for the information before, reasons for each weekly delay were: They want a selfie of me holding ID, they want a bank statement showing my deposits, they want an email of my crypto wallet address, they want a phone call, "Random verification check" - this one took two weeks.

After supplying them all their requested information over the course of months they finally stopped stalling and decided that now they would breach their stated payment terms and only pay $500 a week instead of their advertised $4000, and then they just blocked my account and stopped responding to my emails.

At one point I have over $100,000 in my account and I lost it all back except for $3900 during all their stalling tactics.

I want them to pay my outstanding balance of $3900 immediately and I also want this on the record of how they will do absolutely everything to avoid paying their players.

Thank you

I do not have any other accounts with them. And it's very strange that they are now saying this only after requesting payment, if I had multiple accounts why would they not pick it up earlier?
Nonetheless, I have never had any other account with them so would like to know what evidence they have to support that claim.

Will not pay my winnings
Can you please help me? I am having trouble getting my winnings from Winward Casino. They seem to be stalling in paying my winnings. They are coming up with one reason after another and it has been going on for over 2.5 weeks and there has been several emails back and forth but we are getting nowhere. The money keeps being put back in my casino account, and when I ask questions they won’t answer me. Details are as follows:
21/6/20 - submitted a request to withdraw my winnings of $2000 AUD.
All my required verification documents had been verified some months before and
The 3 items they list under verification requirements , on my account are all ticked and
Marked as fully verified (Government document showing my address, drivers license
showing photo ID, and front side of credit card ). I have read all their terms and
conditions and they state that it takes 5 days for the accounts department to review
the request.
25/6/20 - checked account to see if it had been processed yet, and left my account or whether
It was still pending but saw that the funds were now back in my account . Contacted
Live chat to enquire why this was so & was simply just told ‘missing card’. After asking
Repeatedly what they meant by that, some half an hour later I was finally told that
The card was not on file , or the account I tried to withdraw money to had never
been used at the casino, but the card that I almost always use to deposit IS the
Card associated with the account that I tried to withdraw into. Anyway the agent
(Vinnie) told me to send the card to the accounts email address. I asked if the
withdrawal would then take place and was told, just send the card. I immediately
emailed the front side of the card to the email address given and then resubmitted
My withdrawal request. I asked in the email if it needed to wait another 5 days, and
said I was hoping it could be done once this was rectified.
25/6/20 - received reply from Pete stating that the card had now been verified and had been
added to my file with other documents, and all was in order, and to make the
withdrawal request again (which I had already done), and was told that it would be
processed on Monday (3 days time). There was no mention of any other required
Documents, and he said all was good to go.
30/6/20 - logged into my account expecting to see the money gone but it was still showing
as withdrawal pending so I replied to Pete’s email asking why, and received
a reply, now from Eric saying that the review would take place in 3 days time.
I replied saying that I was told it would be Monday and his reply was that it
Can take longer due to volume but it would definitely be that week.
1/7/20 - logged in to see what had happening and found the funds now sitting back in
My casino account to use for the 3rd time! I sent 7 seperate emails over the
course of the day and night trying to find out what was going on , with no reply to any of
them so I again contacted live chat and was told this time that the reason was missing
card. After arguing for some time trying to explain that I had just been through that
scenario 5 days earlier, and forwarding him the copy of Eric’s email stating it would be
done Monday, he said ‘oh yes I see that now’ and then said the reason it was back in
my account was because I hadn’t sent in my bank statement and could I do that straight
away then resubmit the request for withdrawal. I started to get a little annoyed and
explained I couldn’t see why this would be needed as there is no information on there
that they don’t already have, And that this is private information and that I wasn’t happy
to do this. Also asked if this meant I had to wait another 5 days again for a third time
and was told that I did. I asked to be put on to the account Manager and was told that
was Kevin but he had gone and now it was him (the person with whom I was on chat
with). I said good, can u please tell me why my account is showing as fully verified and
why a bank statement was necessary, he replied ‘take it up with accounts, I am just a
sole messenger’, and I said I thought u just said u were manager, and he then ended
the chat.
I emailed Eric again with and expressed my
annoyance with what was going on. I asked if they could confirm that they had on file,
my license, credit card, document with address , and now my statement, and if there
were any other documents that I needed to be submit to facilitate my withdrawal
request. I also asked why I was not told about the bank statement when I was told the
First time the funds were returned to my account, that the reason was missing
card, and told that it was good to go ahead with making withdrawal request again. I
also asked if they were stalling.
2/7/20 - When I received Eric’s reply, he simply stated that the bank statement was now on file,
and to go ahead with withdrawal request which would again be reviewed in 5 days
time for the 3rd time. He didn’t answer any of my questions, but he did say that
The additional documents are only required at time of review (even though my request
had supposedly already been reviewed twice by this stage and funds returned to
my account with no mention of any other required documents until I questioned it).
I sent my bank statement and asked for confirmation of receipt, and asked if there
Was now going to be anything else holding up the withdrawal request , and some
Hours later I received a reply stating they had received documents and they’d been
added to my file and to allow 5 days for review to take place (AGAIN), and then , the
Kicker!! His next line .... ‘i can see that you haven't filled out the respective vouchers for
your 2 cards on file. Please print the attached document, fill it out with the information
of each card and send back to us at your earliest convenience’. I sent 4 seperate
emails in reply to this and as yet have had no response whatsoever !!!! It is
3/7/20 today. The ‘vouchers’ that they now want me to fill out and return are some
sort of dodgy authority form to allow them to deposit into my bank account! There
is nothing on that form that they don’t already have and it is clearly nothing more
Than yet another stall tactic . I have not returned the form to them , and have not
received any replies.

Please find attached all relevant correspondence as evidence.
I am really hoping you can help me with this as I am absolutely at my wits end and don’t know what else to do.
