14 days pending withdrawal Documents approved

Hi, I deposited my £10 to get my bonus spins. I used my credit + welcome spins And met all the wagering requirements stated. I have requested a withdrawal and it has been stuck on pending for 14 days. I have contacted customer support and they have been friendly and helpful but nothing seems to be happening. All of my documents have been verified. I have checked the bonus t&c and played fairly.

Is there anything else I need to do? It’s a good casino, I would use again, but withdrawals are taking a long time

Thanks

Withdrawal status has been pending for a week
I made an withdrawal request on January 20th. The next morning I was asked to provide my bank statement which I did. Since then I haven’t got any information at all, apart from that the live chat operators have been telling me that the documents are passed to a relevant team to verify. I have sent Playfrank multiple emails regarding the issue but haven’t got any answers from them. Their T&C’s say that withdrawals’ status should change into ”processed” after 48 hours upon request. Mine is still ”pending” after a week. I really want to get my money out of this casino but it seems like the process doesn’t advance at all so therefore I’m writing this here now.

Withdrawal still pending and they're ignoring me now
My £231 withdrawal from this company is still pending 8 days later after stating it only takes 48 hours. Everytime you use live chat you wait 1-2 hours for a response and when they do respond they haven’t got a clue what they’re doing they copy and paste the same message. I’ve done everything they’ve asked off me and still nothing. All my documents have been verified yet they tell me my documents are being checked and I’ll be updated via email but I made a complaint through the site 5 days ago and still haven’t recieved an update via email. After making the withdrawal my account became restricted and said contact customer support for more information but customer support don’t have a clue what to say.

No Communication, Account Closure and Withholding Winning
I created the account with PlayFrank casino, uploaded my identification documents and my profile was fully verified. I had actually won some winnings of £101 and £201 which were paid out very swiftly.

I then deposited again and won winnings of £501 which I withdrew on 12.30am Monday 6th March 2023, it says 48 hours to process the winnings, and this morning I got an email (over 48hrs after I submitted my withdrawal) to say my account was closed which no explanation and nothing mentioned about my winnings, I cant access live chat, I've emailed them 3 times with no reply. Its unfair as I've supplied all verification and they've kept hold of my winnings from me.
I asked numerous times if there was issue about my account because obviously I could supply what they needed and all I was told before my account closed was this is a normal routine check, so they basically lied to me.

Please look into this and help support me.

Payment and refund issues

So, I was happy with my playfrank account but I found it a very boring website. Not many issues with withdrawals, but sometimes they were slow. I was ok with that. I closed my account, and I was owed two payments, I was asked to provide bank details which I did, via the chat.

Ever since then it’s been hell. So after providing the details it was apparently sent to the team, then I got emails saying it was process and on its way to my bank, and then I was told it was with managers. Every time I contacted someone half the time it was a different story each time, and then another reason as to why I haven’t received my money. I understand things take time but it’s been over 9 days, and I’m constantly being told so many different things. Two people I spoke to today, have told me two different things, apparently the money has not been issued even though I was emailed saying a completely different thing and now there is technical issues and they cannot pay me due to this. The customer service is absolutely shocking and I get nothing but attitude. They was fine when I was on the account taking my money and providing me with my winnings, but it seems to be since I closed it’s nothing but dragging their feet.

Also another small withdrawal I was also told is on its way to my bank, but then an agent in the chat stated that it was going to my PayPal and already sent. I provided details to show I’ve received it, in none of these and now they are escalating it. I just feel like you get told nothing and are expected to just take it.

Withdrawal delayed since last week
Hi, I made an account with playfrank, I've made a withdrawal of £700 and is still showing as pending since last Thursday. I've spoken to them via live chat but seem to get very vague replies? I've deposited as much if not more and really thought I would of been paid by now but nothing, I've deposited since withdrawal no problem. I've already uploaded my drivers license both sides and proof of address so can't understand the delay? I've played many other casinos and never had a problem like this, could you please look into this for me please, I've uploaded some files if it helps? Many thanks Ian

Waiting for my £2,062 withdrawal since April
As the title saying I have requested a withdrawal (£2062) after playing on Playfrank casino in April, they've asked for verification documents which I've sent in a few days later. They confirmed that docs have been forwarded to their verification team. Since then I have sent several emails asking about my withdrawal and their answer were always the same: the verification team is still checking my docs and account. For two months!!! Even spoken to their livechat, but ended up getting the same answer. This is just ridiculous. They are clearly up for something and I have a feeling that I won't get my winnings paid out just by waiting for their response.

If Askgambler could help me out in this matter I would appreciate it.

Verification denied and account suspended

Hi,

Last week I made a deposit of £100 to my Play Frank account, after receiving a text informing me of a 100% bonus up to £100. I played through the bonus the same day until I ended up with approx £950 cash in my account. I played completely within the terms and conditions of the bonus and opted to withdraw the funds the same day.

Shortly afterwards, I received an email requesting the following verification:

- Personal identification

- Address identification

- Proof of payment method

I supplied all of this in a timely manner and assumed this would enable them to process my withdrawal. However, I then received a further email requesting the following verification:

- Face verification

- Date verification

I have used a large number of gambling sites and this is something I have never been asked for before. I find it highly irregular, unnecessary and worrying. I see no reason why they would need this level of identification, something which I raised by return of e-mail. I repeatedly asked why this was needed and constantly received the same response of the fact it was needed for face and date verification. Obviously this is something I was already aware of; I was trying to determine why it was needed.

I eventually provided the verification required. I couldn’t do this immediately as I had to purchase a newspaper. I was finally told that my withdrawal is now being processed; this was on 19/03/19.

That night I tried logging into my play Frank account to see if I could see the status of the withdrawal, only to find my account had been blocked. After contacting them, I was then told that this was done as part of the verification process and that any pending withdrawals had been cancelled. The team told me to contact the complaints team which I did on 20/03/2019.

Since then, any of my requests are now ignored. I have been given no timescale for my "complaint" to be answered (I never asked to raise a complaint: I just want my money) and £950 of my money has seemingly disappeared into thin air. Personally, I believe the original verification process is a stalling tactic in order to hold onto customer's money for longer than is necessary.

Please let me know if you need any further information from me.

Thanks and regards,

Failed verification and confiscated winnings with no further info or proof

I have tried to withdraw £3500 worth of winnings from my account. I have been asked to partake in the verification process which I have done fully. I have sent pictures of my bank card, bank statements, drivers licence, passport and even me holding my ID’ s.

I have made a few deposits in the past and not had an issue.

I have followed the process fully and have just been told my winnings have been confiscated and my account closed. I have had no explanation as to why I have failed the verification?

I would like this resolved and my money payed out!

Withdrawal pending for 10 days

Hi Askgamblers Team,

I am a verified member of Playfrank and playing regularly since a few months. After a good run, I have made one withdrawal on 19th of February and a couple to in the following days. Normally they approve after 24 hours, so I waited a couple of days to contact the support.

The support said, there are some game checks going on which is standard for a substantial win. So I waited another couple of days.

Now its 10 days after my first withdrawal request, and I have got the exact same reply when asking the support.

Currently I have 4 pending withdrawals, dated 19, 22 and 25th of February, a total amount of 6000 Euro plus about another 3000 Euro balance on the account.

I have attached a screenshot of the pending withdrawals and another for the Support-Emails between 22-25th of February.

Basically, I am getting the same response like "Currently we are still doing a game-play check, meaning we are being looking into some of the games you played to just make sure everything looks fine and as soon as those are cleared, you should receive your money."

I hope Askgambler will be able to help me out on this issue. Please let me know if there is any other information that is required.

Thank you in advance.

JS.

Nearly £18,000 confiscated with no further proof
I have made several deposits with the casino and had amalgamated a big balance just shy of £18,000. I had attempted to make several withdrawals over the following days but i ended up rolling these back as the payments processing team was very slow despite the advertised 24 Hour payment window.

72 hours after making a withdrawal the casino informed me that there was a breach of bonus terms and that i had staked over the bonus limit of £5.00. Throughout this period the bonus funds and my deposited cash were not separated and I enjoyed building a big balance over several days of gambling. Casino chat support members even congratulated me on my big win and at no point were the funds designated into separate accounts.

I have since made a subject access request and have still not received this after at least 2 weeks of waiting.

I raised a complaint with play frank casino/Everymatrix on the 31st January 2019, it is now the 25th February and the complaint remains unresolved. The casino manager advised that i would have a response to my complaint within 10 days this email was sent on the 12th February. This is now 3 days overdue. Play frank chat support representatives are unable to read my file and will not provide an update on my case. I have also personally contacted play frank manager who does not respond to my emails nor does the every matrix complaints team.

Unpaid winnings of £23,500
I won £23,500 in August with playfrank casino, completed their verification process as requested. Account was successfully verified but winnings have not been paid out.

The casino are staying quiet and are not responding to emails, if I try to contact live chat I am being told to wait for a response.

I understand it is large amount of money, but it was legitimately won and there is absolutely no reason why payout had not occurred

Verification process after £29,000 withdrawal taking longer than stated in T's & C's with no explanation
Hi, I joined PlayFrank Casino on 30/07/18. I deposited £200 and through some extreme luck, managed to accumulate 29000 GBP. I am not self excluded from any 'sister' site, nor have I taken up any bonuses or rewards. I requested my first withdrawal of 10k at around 1800 on the 30th, this was quickly accompanied by an email request for KYC docs. I sent the requested docs at apx 1900. It is now 30 hours since I submitted these documents, and PlayFrank have confirmed receipt of them. PlayFranks T's & C's state that account verification will take place within 24hrs, (5.5 T's&C's) yet this has not happened. I now have 3 pending withdrawals 2x10k and 1x9k. PlayFrank are unable to tell me why there is a delay to the completion if the verification. I firmly believe that one of two courses of action are taking place - either the old drawing out of the verification/pending process in the hope that I will reverse my withdrawals. Or the overwriters EveryMatrix are looking at any possible way not to pay me my winnings. I appreciate that not much time over the 24hr period has passed, but we are talking 29k here, not small potatoes. Online chat has already confirmed to me that such a delay is rare and as such the alarm bells are ringing.

Withdrawal process is so slow
I did my withdrawal 03.06.2018 on PlayFrank site, now is 08.06.2018 and my withdrawal is still "Pending Notification", it was first 2 days "Processed", but now its Pending Notification like i said. Everyday im askin them how is my withdrawal going, and i got same answer everyday. They say "Payment team is processing that this very time" And "They are processing it as soon as possible" and some guys on live chat saying that it might be verified today! And they say that everyday! All my documents are verified by casino and some other stuff i dont remember what those are called. So, my question, is that normal? That it takes almost like over week to process my withdrawal? No other casinosites took so much time. And i have read that i am not the only with this issue. Kasperi.

Refusal/failure to pay out
Timeline: 12.2.18 - signed up to playfrank, used first deposit bonus and after completing wagering, requested withdrawal for £3673 14.2.18 - provided verification documents as requested 15.2.18 received email from playfrank stating 'This is to inform you that your documents have now been approved. Your PlayFrank account is now verified and if you have a pending withdrawal this will now be processed shortly. We want to thank you for your co-operation and patience during this security verification process. Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care team should you have any other questions or concerns.' 20.2.18 i emailed asking about the withdrawal, as the funds had not yet arrived in my account. received the following response: 'Hi Damian, Thank you for your email. I can see that your withdrawal has been processed by our end, however it needs to be processed by our third party provider. I apologize for the delay in this and we have also informed our third party provider for a push through. As this is a credit card withdrawal, you will receive your funds on 3-5 bank days when a withdrawal will be processed.' 21.2.18 despite being told on two occasions that my withdrawal was being processed (as above), I received email asking for selife with my ID and notarised documents 23.2.18 submitted further ID as requested in email of 21.2.18 25.2.18 received a further email (note this is third email of this nature) confirming that my ID has been accepted and 'if you have a pending withdrawal this will now be processed shortly.' i requested specific confirmation that my withdrawal is now actually being processed - as my account balance at PlayFrank is NIL and there is no clear record of my withdrawal. I received a further response 27.2.18 i received an email stating 'Your withdrawal will be processed very soon now and I will kindly ask you for a bit more patience in this issue.' 1.3.18 I received an email stating 'I apologise for the delay in this and we have also informed our third party provider for a push through. As this is a credit card withdrawal, you will receive your funds on 3-5 bank days when a withdrawal will be processed. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.' I noted that I had been given the exact same message on 20.2.18, which turned out to be false. Therefore I replied pointing out that I had been informed of that same message on 20.2.18 and in total, i have received five emails confirming my withdrawal has been processed but i have not received my withdrawal. I have received no response and no withdrawal. I am very concerned about this casino's practices: 1) terrible communication, 2) the blatantly false emails they have sent, 3) the disappearance of my balance from my account and no corresponding withdrawal history

Payment Refused & Account Blocked
On September 4 2017, I made a deposit of 100£ and received a bonus of 50£. I played two games dead or alive and starbursts If I remember correctly. I made a withdrawal of 1934£ the same day. On September 5, they asked for verification documents. Which I sent to them the same day. That day I received an email saying my bill was not valid, and they asked me to resend another one. However I told them it was correct and told them to re-check it again. On September 6 they said the documents were fine and forwarded to processing. On September 7, I get an email from a senior advisor stating ''Your PlayFrank account is now verified and if you have a pending withdrawal this will now be processed shortly.'' After a few hours later on the same day, I get another email from their team leader, asking me to provide a picture of me holding my id. So I sent that too them the very same day. Next email from him was that it had been sent for processing. Since that day I have emailed them about 3-4 times and this was the response I got. Sep 11, 06:05 CEST Thank you for the mail. I can see that your documents indeed was approved on Thursday - but that the security check we have for bigger withdrawals has taken a little longer. Since there has been a weekend in between, it can take a litte longer as well due to it not being during normal working / banking hours. I have sent a notification further to the department in charge so that they can have a look at your withdrawal and handle it as quick as possible. When we have gotten an update will will contact you again via mail. I am sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact us. I wish you a good day. I waited and waited, and today I decided to log in to my account and go on chat, and just found out my account has been blocked. I don't know what to do at this point. Can askgamblers help with this situation ?

Account locked when requesting withdrawal for no apparent reason, issue not resolved after more than a month
Hello AskGamblers, On the 11/05/2017 I made a deposit of 18 000 sek to PlayFrank through Skrill and won 18 000 sek in the live casino leaving me with a balance of 36 000. On the same day I requested a withdrawal to my Skrill account. Over the next few days I waited for my withdrawal to arrive but nothing happened. I went on holiday abroad on the 18/06 - 25/06 and when I came back I tried logging in to my account to see what the problem could be. And what would you know - my account was locked. I contacted the support on the 26/5 who told me to contact [email protected] to see what the problem could be. After not receiving any response from [email protected] I again spoke to the live chat on PlayFrank on the 14/06 and was told the reason for my account being locked is a: "routine check that has been delayed". Which is weird since my account was fully verified a month earlier. I was told my issue would be resolved as fast as possible. Well, here I am a month later, two more attempts of reaching out to them and nothing has happened. Only empty promises saying that they will look into it as fast as possible. Best Regards, Albin

Self
Hello, I had and account with Viks.com and unfortunately i lost around 1500 pounds. I contacted them stating i have a gambling problem and i want to self exlude myself permanent from all their sites so i dont lose more money and they confirmed that my request is done. Couple months later i opened a new account with Playfrank.com with same name, same email address, home address, date of birth etc. and i lost again about 1400 pounds. Then i found out that playfrank and viks are sister sites both owed by everymatrix. I think playfrank should flagged my new account and deny my membership, protecting me and preventing me from losing more money after the self exclusion. Also i believe i was playing for nothing because in case of winnings my withdraw would be cancelled because of the self exclusion. For that reasons i want to request a refund for the total of my deposit at Playfrank casino. Thank you!

Self excluded off of sister site but not refunded yet
Hi I self excluded myself off of a site called jetbull, and a few days ago I registered and deposited on a site names playfrank casino. Not realising that these where sister sites I played through my money and was allowed to continue to do so until all was lost. I then received an email from the company that they are both run by names everymatrix, this email stated that I was self excluded off of jetbull and therefore was subject to having my playfrank account closed for responsible gaming issues. I have emailed them back on a number or occasions and it has now been 5 days since the first email was sent asking them to please inform me of my refund and when it will be due to go back into my account. As of yet I have heard nothing I have tried and tried but I am not having any luck getting a response please could you help me. Kind regards kjcasey92
