Karamba Casino - Issues with the weekly tournament

£1650

Dear Ask Gamblers ,

Where do I start… I could write a book on my constant struggles to make a successful cashout. If I am lucky enough to get my cashouts passed “pending” I will receive confirmation emails that my cash-out requests have been sent for processing. However over and over for nearly a month my money has been sent back into my account. The first time was because I selected too much. The limit was bumped to 20k/month so then I start the whole process over again and then again. I have sent multiple emails and not received any definitive response, usually I’ll get.

“Congratulations on your winnings” “ your cashout has been approved” but it gets declined and goes right back into my account. To add insult to injury, money I won from a tournament is also nowhere to be found with no clear answer to what is going on or when I’ll get my winnings. One day it’s “you will get it tomorrow”, then it’s “next week” or I’m told to just that the relevant department is aware of the issue and to “keep an eye on my inbox.”

I’ve sent another complaint through email today to see if that makes any difference. I’ve exhausted all attempts to get paid money I legitimately won. I’ve met all wagering requirements. I’ve reduced both my cashouts to $9000.00 each hoping maybe being less than $10,000 it will work. That was 6 days ago and still pending.

The tournament is “Drops and Wins”.

It’s the first thing you see they promote it on the main page. I Placed 11th out of 3000+ players. Received a notification that I had won congratulating me. I was so excited. I won 500.0x at C$15.00 bet worth C$7,500.00, in The Weekly Tournament (PrizeMultiplier)# 29# that ended on Aug 31, 2022.

Any help resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, P

Karamba Casino - Delaying withdrawal twice

$25500

I made a two withdrawals of £251 each on the 30/4/2021, Total £502

I am a verified customer, the two withdrawals were held in processing for 7 days after numerous e mails to karamba, I eventually received an e mail advising me there was a technical issue and karamba had cancelled the two withdrawals and resubmitted the withdraw as one at £502.

I have waited a further 7 days and it is still in processing , I have e mailed karamba every day but the only answer I receive is the relevant department is looking into this and will email me once they have sorted it

After 14 days I would have thought it would be enough time to give me some information of why it is delayed again

I would appreciate your help with this

Karamba Casino - Withdrawal still pending due to prolonged security check

£502

I won about $7000 on karamba and on April 16th I cashed out $5000 and then on April 18th I cashed out $2000. I sent over my verification documents like the asked. I received an email on April 20th that they processed my withdrawal for $2000. That was great but thought it was weird they processed my $2000 withdrawal before my $5000 since I made the $5000 first. I left it for a day or two. Contacted chat on April 22 regarding why they haven’t processed the withdrawal for $5000 in which I received a response that my account is undergoing a routine security check by the compliance team. I left it, then Friday I contacted them again because it has now been over a week and does not make sense to me that my account is still going through checks when they can process my other withdrawal. Needless to say the customer service rep gave me the same response. When I asked what the routine security check was she said she did not know. How could they not know? I have still not received my withdrawal. I have attached the conversations I’ve had and my withdrawal pending

Karamba Casino - Missing withdrawals

$5001

To whom it may concern

Here is the proof I still haven't received these 2 withdrawals as if today April 6th 2021.

I have constantly requested that they correct their mistakes.

I have provided them my bank statements from January and February to show them that these 2 withdrawals I did still haven't arrived.

As you can see on the letter from my bank representative it clearly states they made mistakes on these transactions which never arrived in my account.

5hey have had all these documents bank statements 5 letters from my bank representative but still no corrections being done to re-process or re credit my account for the full $702 back to my account.

It has been 3 months now that I have been after them to correct their mistakes but they have constantly used delaying tactics or reescalating my request and coming back saying they were processed correctly but as you can see for yourself they made mistakes otherwise the money would've made it to my account.

Karamba Casino - Completed wagering requirements but still unable to request a cashout

Karamba Casino - Withdrawing Money Issue

£737.91

To whom it may concern,

As it stands, I am not able to talk to customer service as whenever I try to click on the chat button, it does not open the chat for me anymore. I'm not sure whether this is because I have been banned or there is a technical issue. However, this makes me feel uneasy as I can not ask anyone for help, hence why I have come here for help.

The issue at hand is as follows: on 29/12/2020 late night, I had tried withdrawing my money and I was told I could not withdraw unless I have reversed all my bonuses (screenshot provided), therefore I try to remove my bonuses and I am only able to reverse one (screenshot provided). I was given 20 free spins x £0.25 on the Fruity Friends slot and when I tried to use these spins, an error message popped up and I was not able to use them, unfortunately, I was not able to get a screenshot of this as I decided to go to sleep and resolve this problem the next day. So on the 30/12/2020 midday, I get in touch with customer service, and admittedly they helped me to resolve the error on the Fruity Friend slot, however, I do not have a little icon saying '20 free spins' in the bottom left of the slot screen. And it still says I have £5 free games on my bonuses menu. It is now 30/12/2020 late at night and I am not able to talk to customer service as to why I do not have any free spins to use anymore.

I currently have £801.60, and I would like to withdraw this money as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Karamba Casino - Withdrawals still not processed after 4 weeks of waiting

£801.6

Hi. I have two pending withdrawals with Karamba that I requested on the 21st of October 2020 (£95.00) and 25th of October 2020 (£220.00). I have spoken to multiple agents over their live chat service regarding the delay but both withdrawals remain unprocessed. The first agent I spoke to claimed that they were having issues with PayPal (my chosen method of payment), and the second agent I spoke to said that my withdrawal hadn't been processed because my account was "undergoing a routine security check by our Compliance team". I sent a formal complaint to the company on the 10th of November but they have not acknowledged or responded to this email. When I enquired about this on the 15th of November, again through their live chat feature, the agent apologised and said that he would escalate this complaint and that I would receive a response within the next 48 business hours. I have still not been contacted by Karamba and I am extremely frustrated. I asked the same agent to provide contact details for the company's ADR provider but he refused. I am aware that complaints must go through the company's own complaints procedures prior to contacting their ADR provider, and that they have up to 8 weeks to resolve complaints internally first; however, I am concerned by Karamba's refusal to even acknowledge my formal complaint and that is why I am opening this complaint with the AGCC. As an account holder with Karamba I have a right of withdrawal and it is their responsibility to allow consumers to withdraw their deposit balance at any time and without restriction. I believe that Karamba is currently denying me this right. I hope that they will respond to this complaint with urgency and with the involvement of the AGCC I can finally resolve this ongoing issue.

I have provided a full copy of the Live Chat transcripts below, I also have screenshots of these conversations but I am not sure how to attach these. I can send these via email if necessary?

Thanks,
Aaron.

Hello :) Welcome to the Live Chat , my name is Marianna.

Me: Hi. Can I get an update on pending cashouts please?

Nov 4, 6:58 PM

Marianna
Let me please check it for you :)

Me: Okay

Nov 4, 7:02 PM

Marianna
Thank you :)
Aaron I can see that your account is currently undergoing a routine security check by our Compliance team, this may be what's causing the delay.

For now we thank you for your patience and as soon as there is an update on your account, you will be contacted.

Me: Routine security check meaning what?

Nov 4, 7:06 PM

Marianna
It is our standard procedure , sometimes needs to be done.

Me: I would appreciate a better explanation than this. I have been kept waiting on one of my cashouts for 2 weeks which is supposed to take 0-2 business days. My account has been verified with the relevant documents.

Nov 4, 7:10 PM

Marianna
I am so sorry Aaron!

Me: First I was told there was a problem with Paypal transactions, but only when it comes to cashouts. Your company is withholding funds that do not belong to them.

Nov 4, 7:11 PM

Marianna
As I can see your cashout is under review.

Me: I am aware that it is "pending". But I have had no updates, and your agents have failed to provide a reasonable explanation as to why.

Nov 4, 7:13 PM

Marianna
I am so sorry to hear it.
Thank you for coming to live chat. Since I have not heard from you for over 3 minutes, I will end this chat in 30 seconds. Please click to chat with us again if we can be of further assistance.

Welcome to Live chat, my name is Oscar, please let me assist you:) How have your day been going so far?:)

Me: Good thanks. Could you please send me the contact details for your ADR provider?

Nov 15, 1:10 PM

Oscar
Give me some time to check this for you please:)

Me: Okay

Nov 15, 1:11 PM

Oscar
thank you
Aaron, could you please be so kind to clarify your complaint?

Me: Sure

Nov 15, 1:15 PM

Oscar
Thank you

Me: I have two pending Paypal withdrawals that I have been waiting about 3 weeks for, I've asked customer support previously about the delay and have been told that it was due to a Paypal issue and then later on that it was because of a security check on my account

Nov 15, 1:17 PM

Oscar
Thank you, Aaron

Me: I recently asked for an email account to send a formal complaint to, which I did last Tuesday, but your complaints team have not responded.

Nov 15, 1:18 PM

Oscar
I completely understand, Aaron

Me: I am aware that the Gambling Comission states that your company has 8 weeks from the date of the complaint to resolve, but they also state that it should respond to any complaints within 3 days, and this has not been done.

Nov 15, 1:19 PM

Oscar
Thank you for the details
I will escalate your complaint to management right away
When did you send your email?

Me: I appreciate this. I sent my email on Tuesday to [email protected]
Could I also have the contact details of the ADR provider?

Nov 15, 1:22 PM

Oscar
I completely understand your frustration, Aaron
Kindly note that we are currently experiencing a high number of queries, therefore there will be delays in receiving assistance
That's why you have been contacted yet

Me: I am aware that the gambling commission states that a company should respond to a formal complaint within 3 working days but as far as I am aware it does not say what to do if a company does not do this.

Nov 15, 1:23 PM

Oscar
I have escalated your complaint to our management with high priority and you will be contacted within next 48 business hours

Me: I appreciate that your company may need more time to deal with a high number of complaints, but if I do not receive a response within a reasonable time then I would like to take this up with an ADR provider to see if they will take up my case.
And thank you for escalating this complaint.

Nov 15, 1:26 PM

Oscar
Yes, this is completely correct
Is there anything else I can help you with at the moment, Aaron?

Me: Is the ADR provider still the POGG.com?

Nov 15, 1:27 PM

Oscar
First your complaint should go through our management
And if you are not satisfied with the result, you will be provided with the ADR details

Me: Yes, I understand. I just want to know in case if I don't receive an answer via email?

Nov 15, 1:29 PM

Oscar
You can come to chat

Me: Okay. Thanks for your time, Oscar.

Nov 15, 1:30 PM

Oscar
Thank you for the understanding and patience:)

Karamba Casino - Unjustly declined €3,000 withdrawal

£315

I received an email with 50% bonus. So i signep up and deposit 200€ to get 100€ Bonus.
After a couple spins i landed a 1000x on 4€ stake.
Completed the wager only on 3 and 4€ stakes on bonanza, wild frames, book of dead, honey Rush and legacy if dead slots.
Did a withdrawal request and the day after i received the email with the decline that i did mistaken the 4€ betting rule, what i absolutely did not.
During the whole wagering i only did 3 and 4€ bets. Contacted live chat, tried to understand where my false is but they couldnt help me.
So i tried the mobile number on the website which also couldnt help me.
At least the support via email wrote me, that they have checked my betting history again and nothing has changed.
I wanted to know where and when i did false the 4€ rule but they couldnt tell me.
I also checked my betting history on the website. Theres no more than 4€ bets during the wagering.
Hope you guys can help me with this problem

Good site, many games.
Nice set of real time video casino games.

Forced to use bonuses when depositing, cant "opt out"
Another site with a "pending" period of two whole business days before they even consider allowing your cash out. Should be illegal. You ask for your money.. Why should you be forced into a "pending" status.. They take it quick enough.

I liked the games and the layout looked pretty good.

The bonus is a joke. Said 100 free games but they give you 20 then they say you have to make two further deposits to release the rest. Also said it was released 30 spins 1st deposit 30 spins 2nd deposit and 40 spins 3rd deposit. I pointed out they gave me 20 so doesn't make sense and they just closed the chat. It is a clear rip off. Had put an earlier review on here but it broke rules but never said what rule was broken. Karamba are ripping people off so deposit elsewhere cos your head will explode trying to explain this obvious mistake and hen you tell them they ignore you

3/10

A Lot of games nothing else is good. The Bonus amount is okay too.

The wagering for the bonus are 50% for like 40% of the games, you only can play high variance games.

The verification and withdraw process is a joke 2018. Its been 5 days and still no change.

Stay away and go to some place that actually makes fast withdraws possible.

Can't remember, previous review was taken down because capital letters were used. Hey, I guess someone needed to feel important

Bonus offered is not the bonus given. You only find out about this after the deposit has been made. Zero indication prior to deposit that the code you use is magically now 'invalid'. Outright, bare faced lie. Won't issue a refund, make you withdraw and jump through hoops just to get your own money back. Steer well clear, these guys are con artists

Good slots selection. Well, thats about it. It says positive part is too short but it really should be short because there arent many positive things about this place.

Dated interface. Misleading promos. Awful live chat and misleading wagering requirements (maybe 10% of their slots have 100% contribution the rest is 50% or 10%) so real wagering is 70x plus.

Their promos, for people who actually take them often fail to work and free spins wont activate. Two times live chat offered me 50% of promised free spins in bonus money which i refused.

Promotion was deposit $10 for 100 free spins on gonzo, starburst and some other slots. So naturally live chat thought i wanted to play my spins on lower value game so offered me $10 bonus instead. First time i managed to fight for my $20 bonus but second time they refused to credit more than $10 despite fault being on their side so i closed my account. Not sure why are they so stingy with their bonuses when wagering is so high and its very unlikely many people are going to complete it.

TLDR: Stay away, much better places out there its not 90's anymore with just dozen of casinos operating, so not really sure why would anyone play there really.

Brill casino, great games, fast cashouts. I've have had many great value cashouts from this site and live chat is always there to help straight away. Games selections are fantastic. I've never had any hassle with this site at all and have been a player here for several years now. They also have great bonus offers on a daily basis.

I love the loyalty levels on here its refreshing to see. I also enjoy the variety of games the site is always introducing new games. I also enjoy the deposit bonus promotions that run

I do think the loyalty points should be a little easier to gain and more given to those who play often

They do not charge for deposits or withdrawals.

I have opened and played on or around 12 online casinos and Karamba are by far the worst I have ever dealt with. The main problem is making the first withdrawal, which took days longer than it should have done because they told me my bank statement didn’t have all the correct information on it. I sent 2 emails which were never answered and eventually I lost my temper with an online chat telling them to check the bank statement again as all the information is on there.

They finally admitted they were wrong and apologised, but still took another day to approve the withdrawal. Now you would think making such a huge error that a £50 bonus would have been handed out, but nothing. My deposit was £4900 and withdrawal amount was £5846 so not a huge profit, but every time you go online chat, the chat person keeps saying “well done on your big win” when in reality I haven’t won that much.

Shocking delaying tactics and no responses via email. I will never bet with them again and if they are linked to another casino please tell me and I will not use that either. I opened this “askgamblers” account for the sole purpose to tell others how poor they are. And it takes a lot for me to complain. I have got screen shots of everything to back me up in this. Absolutely despicable company to deal with.
