He Won $100K… But the Casino Says “Wait a Few Months”?

[shanz]

We all know that a casino might be legit, or it might be a scam — it depends on many things like its license, reputation, and community. But this story caught my attention.
Yesterday I watched a YouTube video about someone who won 100K USD and requested a withdrawal. He then received a message from the casino’s customer support saying they wouldn’t be able to pay the full amount. They said they would start paying in batches of $10K each, but the first batch would be in a few months’ time.
Can this really happen? Has anyone here ever faced something like this?

That shows how pathetic the casino where he played is. If he searched here in the forum he would have found the big ones who after auditing a bit that value which is relatively high and find 0 incidents there, they will pay instantly as that shows directly how healthy or unhealthy a casino really is. I would never play again in that casino because if I get payments in batch I can lose them again while I wait for another batch to arrive. That simply is not the way to go when someone wins a big amount as money needs to be paid in one single transcation. As I said even if I have never won 100.000 dollars yet I would never play in that casino knowing this happened to someone.

$100000 is not a small amount of money at all. If I am the person, I will not think two times before I will call my lawyer about it. What the customer care person said is utter nonsense and rubbish. If my lawyer get into it and I truly won the money, I hope they will not pay more if they are not careful. It might end up in lawsuit while they might even have to pay more.

[Ruttoshi]

This shows that the casino is not transparent, because assuming the person lost that amount in their casino, will they say that's too big and returnback $90k to him. This is the main reason why you need to gamble in a big reputable casino that wouldn't think of staining their reputation.

The best way to handle this kind of situation is to meet your lawyer and sue the casino so that they can pay you your money. If you leave them and allow them do whatever they like, they might end up not paying you.

This should not be happening in casinos, if they deemed that their customer won fair and square and there was no cheating then they will have to pay upfront. You didn't mentioned the casino itself, but for sure it might have taken a damage already as obviously it is out on the public. I don't know what's the reason for them not able to pay in full, they are in the business of making money, does it mean that they don't have a profit? And this is blatantly scamming, and the customers can't do anything about it. The question is what if the casino just suddenly disappear.

[Alpha Marine]

Another reason why you should gamble on reputable casinos, especially when your potential winnings are very high or when you're staking high. I have only seen instances where the casino takes about 24 to a week to pay if the money is very huge, but receiving just 10% of the winning after a month is not ideal at all. Its a very big red flag and I don't think a reputable campaign that has a name to protect will do that. No reputable campaign will have a maximum limit of winning they cant pay out if a user wins.

Did the person show any proof of what he is saying or he was just making accusations without evidence. In instances like this where there is evidence, the name of the casino should be mentioned so that people can stay away from them.

Its pathetic situation to heard such thing and that shows the casino is lack of funds to pay their winners.

Hard to trust those casino having that situation and I think that they will not last long and have huge chance to turn into scam.

I don't want to experience such same situation and this is the reason on why people should see first if the casino could pay them. Much better if they gamble on big casinos which lots of gamblers can cashout their winnings without getting any issues.

The truth is I have never heard about such thing before, this is actually my first time of hearing this. Although a friend of mine also had similar issue like this but the amount wasn't that huge $4 I guess, but the casino didn't pay him completely they only gave him back his staking amount and then keep the rest to themselves. This makes me believe that this could be possible but I can't possibly say that they're scam not until it gets to that date which they promised to start making the payment, $100k is such a huge amount of money but I'm sure that a reputable casino wouldn't give such excuses. This is why is advised to make reviews before joining a casino to know if they're legit or not because there are too many scam casino platforms out there.

[alani123]

That's certainly a red flag.

Who knows if a casino will be around in 10 months?

Certainly better than nothing, but why would a casino even run if they didn't have a security fund? It's not always going to be positive windfalls when you run a casino. When someone wins big you've gotta be able to cover it.

If the casino didn't have a national license that they could risk losing if they didn't pay out properly, there's nothing for them being at stake. It's only the player that is at risk.

Yeah I don't think they're reputable cause if they were they'll be transparent with their customers and not act like a scam casino, I keep wondering why such casino don't take long to deduct people's wallet when they stake games but take longer for customers to withdraw their money, it makes no sense and I think the OP should've mentioned the name of the casino so members of this community would  be very careful or avoid them totally, the casino simply want to make him tired of waiting for the complete withdrawal then use the remaining balance to gamble again and probably lose to them.

[aylabadia05]

The winnings you mentioned are substantial, not a small amount I'd expect to win if I did.
If you're asking if this is really possible, I think it's possible, because not all casinos are completely trustworthy.

It's not that they aren't, but the various complaints here show that any casino looking to become active should examine many aspects, including user reviews. If you've noticed, some casinos operate with official institutions or bodies from various sports to increase the trust of potential users.

[Ziskinberg]

LOL, what kind of casino would do that? if they won’t pay in full, then they should at least give credit to gamblers so they can still play without depositing everything upfront. that kind of casino already sounds shady, and honestly, i doubt they can really pay that whole $100k. from the start it’s already a red flag, wouldn’t be surprised if it just ends up with empty promises and slowly turns into an exit scam.

would you mind sharing the video you watched? I’m curious too, wanna check it out myself.

[crwth]

This would definitely be a red flag. It just shows how little the bankroll the casino has; it seems as if they cannot pay that out in a lump sum. There should be an agreement, and they should be transparent "why".

Perhaps if they could offer an interest rate, as it's not immediately withdrawable, they should be reviewed in casino review sites or something similar.

What? Thats noy good if thats the case then its a scam casino gambling. Can you name the platform? Cause if this is true that should have been given to the user especially if the user won that fairly. Its quite sad that theres casino that operates like this. Maybe they are new one but its not appropriately to delay ones fund or won prizes because they dont have the money to shoulder it.

Any gambling site that is not able to pay his user that won $100 thousand upfront should not be operating. I think they will have the money but just that they do not want to pay. Just like it has been said, he should consult his lawyer and the gambling site will have to pay him the money.

Also this will be a red flag that will make people to stop using the gambling site if it goes public. The gambling site may wants to avoid that.

There should be a reason for this action because this is not how reputable casinos treat their customers.  Wins can be withdrawn instantly without delay.  $100,000 is a small money to most big casinos. This shows that the casino is a scam, poorly managed or going bankrupt.

I don't know if he would ever receive anything from the casino because they might exit the market before the time he was given to get his first payment. I think he should report to the relevant authorities. That's why I prefer to gamble with trusted casinos, especially those that have a presence in this forum.

That’s the best move if you’re a gambler who’s not hiding anything. I mean, if you’ve fully complied with KYC requirements and you’re playing in a regulated casino, then there’s really nothing to worry about. otherwise, it gets tricky.

sometimes we gamble on casinos based overseas .. like in my case, I’m in the PH but I play on sites operating in other countries. so right from the start, I already know they’re not under our government’s jurisdiction, which makes it harder to deal with if something goes wrong.

Agreed since that casinos is just like waiting to catch big fishes then scam them. That's why people should avoid this casino.

If it happens that they are the one experiencing such huge red flags then they better raise this issues to forums like here so that they can warn other people about bad situations happening to them.

This is really big red flag and its better for people to avoid playing in this kind of casinos.

[Kelward]

This is the more reason why gamblers should patronize reputable casinos that you're sure of getting your payment without any hassle. If you're gambling on a casino that hadn't gained reputation you should know that you're taking double risks. You risk your money to play and when you win you're at risk of not getting paid, it shows that some casinos are just focused on happily collecting gamblers loses but are not willing to pay when a gambler wins. If the name of such a casino is blown open and it is proven that they give excuses not to pay winners as at when due I don't think that gamblers will patronize them again.

If a provider pays out 100k won in installments, this raises speculation that it's a potentially scam. Furthermore, if the provider is well-known in the country, its reputation is under the risk, as user trust will be drastically reduced by such a situation.  I've seen several casinos pay out withdrawals of up to $1 million without any such payment process in place. Is the casino have announcement thread here?
