What to do if this happens to you

Work the problem in order. First, raise it with the casino’s support in writing and keep every screenshot, email and transaction ID. If that stalls, escalate to the regulator named on the operator’s licence or its approved dispute-resolution (ADR) body — that’s who can actually compel an outcome. You can also report the casino to us: we don’t arbitrate, but a pattern of reports feeds an operator’s score on our Trust Index, so it pulls a casino down our rankings.

What “Resolved” means here

In this example, “Resolved” means the player escalated and the operator released €1,150. The lesson: a documented complaint, escalated to the regulator or ADR, is what moves a stuck withdrawal.

Money you have to fight to withdraw is a reminder that gambling should stay entertainment — never a way to make money or to chase losses.
