William Hill Casino

Account Suspended and in verification process with 22 K CAD

€200

Hi,

Im really worried right now with the time of verification for my account suspended.

Lets recap. Last friday (november 4th) Ive received and email asking additionnal information about me. They asked me to send another ID and proof of wealth. So Ive sent them 12 slips of pay, my driver liscence and my Passport.

During the night, Ive continue to played on the site (ive won 2K that night always on sportsbetting).

A couple of hours after that, my account was suspended so I went to the chat to understand what happened.

They say that they were asking for documents from me and they didnt received anything yet. So Ive sent that back to another specific email adress they got for documents.

The day after, saturday afternoon, I came back to the chat to confirm if they received my email. They confirmed me that the documents were received and that they were now under reviewed by the security team.

Ive received 2 email during that week-end. 2 automated system email saying that my account was now limited and that I was no more eligible for promotions. But still no email about an update of my account suspend.

Monday, I came back to the chat again to know whats going on. Same thing, I even talked to a manager saying that the documents are reviewed by the security team and that usually it takes 24-48 hours to review it.

Wednesday, still no news, I wont let it go so I went to the chat again talked to another manager, told me same things and even told me that he will personnnaly follow me up on it by email during the day. Guess what. Nothing again..

So today, thursday, I had no choice to come back on chat and asked to talk to another manager and Ive told them that this situation is now under review for more thatn 144 hours. Im still getting the same automated message from them that this is under review and they will respond me by mail.

Lets note that Ive also send them an email wednesday complaining about the lack of response and update from them. But Im still getting no email from them.

I really hope someone here can help me with it.

I got 22,200$ stocked in that account

Pardon me if my english is not at it best cause Im french

Thanks

Account frozen with more than €70k balance and not communicating at all

$22,200

Since 26.10.2021 I no longer have access to my William Hill account on which are at least 79640€ balance. Apparently it was blocked. I have tried to contact William Hill several times both in chat and by email.

Unfortunately, I have not received any information from them to date what is going on and why my account is blocked.

The only statement I got to hear several times in chat was:

We will get back to you within 12 or 24 hours.

Which never happened.

At this point, I unfortunately see no other option than to turn to the public, since William Hill apparently no longer wants to communicate with me without pressure. For your help I would be very grateful!

Hello. February 8, I made a deposit (screen).
February 11, requested documents (screen).

February 12, I submitted documents to live chat. To date, I have not received an answer. live chat promise "soon, soon, soon".
more than a month have passed. I worry about my money. from the support of any particulars. help.
I contacted the "second opinion" service. they also ask to wait

Hello.

I got into an unpleasant situation at williamhill.com.
I registered with williamhill and played with them, but once my account was blocked and I could not log into my account. I contacted the support service and I was told that to unlock the account I need to go through the verification procedure and provide documents for verification. I uploaded documents but didn’t receive a response. A few days later I asked in a chat when my documents will be checked? In the chat I was asked to take new photos of documents and send them again. I took new photos and posted, but received the answer only after a few weeks. I was again asked to take new photographs of documents. Again I took new photos of the documents, uploaded them, and again the support service ignored me.
I downloaded various documents in live chat and sent to the mail about 7-10 times - passport photo, selfie with passport, utility photo, selfie with utility, selfie with a leaflet on which my login is written, screenshots and photos of my account neteller, screenshots and photos deposits in williamhill from my neteller account. I always made new photos. But each time they send me a letter that my documents have been transferred to the appropriate department, and after a few weeks they ask me to send new documents again.
This story has been going on for more than a year, I do everything they ask, but I can’t log into my account. The last time they asked me to take new selfies photos with a passport and utility in another room, on a different background. I took these photos and sent them an email 12/13/2019. The next day I received a letter stating that my documents were handed over to the appropriate department and will contact me shortly. However, 30 days have passed since I sent the documents, but I did not receive a response from them and I can’t log into my account.
Please help me unlock my account and withdraw money from willhill

Verification Issues

Permanently Suspended my account with £1,800

$4,190

My situation is as follows, I will endeavor to give a short, but concise, true account in chronological order to help with the process.

Personally I am not an avid regular gambler and purely use it as a form of recreation for when I want to while away some time (if that makes sense), as a form of entertainment.

I opened up an account with WilliamHill's online casino on the 25th October 2018 having seen a free bonus/promotion for new users.

27th October 2018 I received an email asking for 2 documents for age verification purposes, this was promptly done.

29th October 2018 I received a confirmation email thanking me for the documents.

30th October 2018 I received an email asking for further confirmation under the KYC ("Know Your Customer") process. 2 further documents were sent, no further emails from WH regarding the above verification's.

30th October 2018 - 9th September 2019 play was made on the WH site

At the commencement of the account, I won a small amount of money with the said given new user incentive bonus, we were probably talking £10-£20 (wagered and withdraw able) at the time.

Subsequent to that, I then played any daily or weekly bonus' and promotions made available directly to my account from the small amount of initial winnings.

Over time (approx 10 months since opening the account), the account balance was fortunate enough to rise to circa £1,500 - £,2000.

The winnings were accumulated on all sections of their site, be it Vegas, Casino, Live Casino, Games, Macau etc. At no time was any collusion or any other forms of so called unfair/fraudulent betting made. It was all by luck, chance and mostly by a self awareness of knowing when to stop wagering on a particular part of their website.

9th September 2019 I received an out of the blue email from a <casino rep name removed> (Account Assurance Team):

"Following a thorough review of your William Hill Account 'USERNAME, we've taken the decision to suspend it permanently.

This decision is in line with our Terms and Conditions. For further information please check Section 12 - Closure of your account; Termination of terms of use of our Terms and Conditions. Here's the link:

https://williamhill-lang.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6719/."

10th September 2019 I went on to live chat to seek an explanation, unfortunately live chat were unable to shed any light on the matter.

10th September 2019 I sent an email to support@willhill to seek clarity and information on the email from regarding the suspended account.

12th September 2019 I received an email from Amie (Executive Relation Officer):

I write in further to your recent contact dated 10/09/2019.

After a thorough review of your account, the decision remains that your account is suspended, this is a business decision which is non negotiable and we are not obligated to disclose the reasoning for this.

In regards to your funds, unfortunately your balance on the account will be retained whilst your account is suspended and you will be unable to withdraw these.

I hope the above clarifies our position in regards to this matter, and we wish you all the best.

Today 15th September 2019 - I seek advice on where I can now take this matter and/or if there is any recourse. Upon the suspension I had a balance of £1,800.09 in my account and as it stands, the funds have been taken from me without a specific reason. As mentioned, I was in my opinion doing nothing untoward nor disingenuous with regards the betting procedures during the time frame above. I find it totally inappropriate that a "business decision" can be to take more than £1,800 from me without a specific factual reason. Yes, I may have accrued the balance via various promotions and bonus' offered but I had used them in good faith as per the Terms and Conditions. Is it my fault that I won money from playing various slots/games etc over a period of time for the above mentioned bonus'?

To this day I have no idea was I have been so harshly dealt with. If it were fraud I get it, if it were for bonus abuse (I dont see how), why did they just not exclude me from bonus' and promotions? As it stands I do not know where to turn or what my rights are, any help or guidance would be thoroughly appreciated.

Various emails and transcripts are held from the commencement of the account opening to the last correspondence if required.

Many thanks for taking the time to read.

Continuous blocking of account and refusal of withdrawing funds

After a number of years of not using my account, I decided to reopen it and start using the casino section of the website. I was having a number of issues reopening my account and was speaking to various people on the live chat who were going through the process of reopening my account. Every time it got reopened, I tried depositing with a new card as the old ones on my account were expired and the account would get blocked when attempting to deposit some funds. On 1st April, I spoke to three different customer service representatives and then a manager for over an hour and a half (I spoke to Khiechiel, Rhaine, Lawrence and then Michael who was a manager, and was told it'd take 48 hours to undergo the additional security checks. After this, on 4th April I spoke to Janine and the security issue eventually got resolved and I was able to login and deposit and bet/play.

After my £250 deposit on 4th April, I made £120 profit, so had a total of £370 in my account. I wanted to withdraw my funds at this point, but as soon as I clicked confirm to withdraw, they blocked my account again. I spoke to Peter on the live chat and he told me I'd have to wait 24-48 hours for additional security checks, where I'd then hear back via email from management.

On 7th April, I still hadn't heard back, so I went on the live chat again and spoke to Christian S, who told me there was no update. By this point it had been 3 days since my last chat where I was told it would be 24-48 hours.

On 9th April, I still hadn't heard back. I spoke to Bhanz who told me I'd hear back soon via email.

On 11th April, I still hadn't heard back, so I spoke to Miguel on the live chat, who told me I'd hear in another 24-48 hours. I also requested my live chat logs so I could submit a formal complaint, which he said I'd receive in 24 hours. I asked whether this would really be the case as I'd been told that multiple times and he reassured me it would definitely be the case as that is standard procedure when replying to emails.

On 14th April, I hadn't received the live chat logs nor had I heard back regarding my account being blocked, so I spoke to Nyl and Bhanz. They then followed up and finally sent me the chat logs, but on 15th April, I still haven't heard back regarding my account being blocked, 11 days after being told I'd hear back in 24-48 hours.

I need the money in my account and it is becoming increasingly frustrating not being able to access my account or withdraw my funds. I want something to be done about it. I have all the chat logs as files if anybody requires to view them to cross check with what I am saying.

Delayed payments and ''Security Check''

£370

I NEED HELP AND ADVISE
I made my first ever deposit on a casino site after watching streamers online.
As i didn't want to affect my credit score etc i found William Hill would be ideal as they have a quick cash voucher option.
I made a deposit of £50 via quick cash voucher, after a brief play of slots i was up to £250ish .
I made a withdrawal of £210 via quick cash voucher (same method i deposited from).
I had receive help to locate my voucher code via Live chat as i wasn't sure how to find the code.

*HAPPY DAYS*
I walked to a William Hill store collected my winnings.

**WILLIAM HILL SECURITY CHECK BULLSHIT**
Over the course of the next few days i had carried on depositing £20 (total £220 deposited) here and there via quick cash voucher.
I have played various slots games and now i have £240, £60 and £170 pending in my withdrawals via quick cash voucher.
I was advised by live chat that there is a security check they do on all accounts and it will take 24-48hrs for a response.
It has now been over 5 days and i am getting the same response from live chat.
I have read other complaints on other blogs where people have had similar issues.
I have emailed my ID, Bank statement, Utility bill and bank card pictures.
I have been told my account is already verified and they don't need the document and for me to wait for a email from them.

I'm really upset at the poor service and the limited information from William Hill Live chat.

Please can i get some help or advice if anyone has ever faced the same problem and have they resolved it.

Seems to be a responsible bookmaker. Quotas are ok

Worst Casino ever! I really liked William Hill before for doing Online sports betting. But then they started to harass me at its finest.. I am a regular player and my account was already verified. I sent them every document as required (driving license, passport, address registration document). Then they asked me for more verification documents such as selfies with every document: selfie with driving license, selfie with passport, selfie with a sheet of paper and my account number, selfie with a screenshot of my e-wallet, etc. I sent them really everything and they always could not accept the documents due to some issues like images are blurry "please send again", etc. The always came up with something new and I dont know why they couldnt verify! Approx. 15 E-Mails later with all my documents I have, I am still waiting for my verification, although my account was already verified in the beginning.

Really Annoying Verification process which i can not comprehend!

Great customer service, really nice and helpful. Loads of slot games and all the live table games and very fast withdrawals, really enjoyed playing here again after long break.

Cant think of anything I disliked, I enjoyed the whole site.

A great selection of games from a large group of game suppliers.

Terrible customer service. The live chat support seem unable to resolve any issues without going through a supervisor. E mail responses take days to receive a reply, seemingly longer if it is about redeeming a bonus. The telephone support is great if you want to deposit money but terrible if you're trying to resolve a problem. A real let down for what could be a really great casino.

Good games and good sport offers. They offer bog and do a daily15% winnings on selected meetings.

There customer service is very poor it is taking 48 hours or more to receive a reply. This casino is one of the worse ones in terms of taking money but not wanting to pay anything back.

You can withdraw at weekends but they will stay pending until monday which they remind you that it is possible to reverse it time and time again.

If you are a serious gambler stay away if you like to waste 50 to a 100 quid now and again then this site is for you.

Good bonus when joining. Good selection of games. Trusted name. They also provide ongoing bonus's and lots of free spins. The wagering requirements are a bit steep!! However, I have never had any problems withdrawing my winnings - apart from the annoying pending times.

What lets William Hill Casino Club down is the timescales for withdrawing any winnings. 4 days in a pending queue is so annoying, so don't expect to receive your winnings for a week as they do not count weekends as a working day. Whereas William Hill Games and Bingo process the winnings the same day, even paid into Pay Pal within hours. I just do not understand why William Hill Casino Club take so long.

They offer a good opening bonus. They have a good selection of casino games.

The customer service is terrible. The staff cannot speak very good English, so it proves to be exhausting when you telephone them. They take an eternity to respond to emails and there seems to be no live help available.

The 4 "business day" pending is horrendous! Why the 4 "business days" - I thought most casinos worked on a 24/7 basis? Nope, it seems if you withdraw on a Wednesday your money will sit in the reverse winnings option until the following Tuesday, and even then it takes a further 3/7 days for the winnings to be paid. That is, of course if they even decide to pay you any winnings. There have been many many complaints regarding William Hill Casino Club on the Trust Pilot page. I don't believe most of the positive reviews about this site.

This is definitely real casino! Great games, a lot of chance to win money. I got lucky and won some euros and they pay me fast and with no problems. I have only recommendations for this casino! :)
