Delaying payout from casinos, Intentionally or not?

[Dave1]

Have you ever consider that casinos intentionally delay someone's payout specially if this is huge money? Reason being is that,

The longer the withdrawal is pending, the higher the chance the player cancels it and plays again.

And also, suddenly KYC is being asked after that big win, delaying it even further to the point that some gamblers be frustrated and just play their winnings until they lose everything back to the casino?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

From all the casinos and bookies that I have used, I have not experienced a delay in payout before and I don't also think that they do it intentionally to make the customer turn back and spend the money on betting again, maybe just some bad coincidence and also depending  if the casino is not also reputable, that's when someone can experience this kind of delays. Under normal circumstances, I don't think any reputable casino would delay a customer's payout intentionally, meanwhile the person have done all the necessary requirements and must have even passed KYC.

Although I know there is a possibility of a hidden agenda in casino operations, the KYC demand must be contained in their terms and conditions, else it is open manipulation, the problem is that most of us do not take our time to read the SLA of the casino and are quick to point out bad treatment. If the gambler cancels and uses the money to gamble again, then it is a case of being addicted, I wouldn't cancel if it was me. I would even get angry with the casino and not gamble again until I am fully paid.

I have used a lot of casinos and I am yet to experience the one that delays users funds since my withdrawals always goes smoothly. maybe this is applicable to non-reputable casinos. As long as your account is not flagged by the casino, I see no reason your withdrawal would be delayed

It’s intentional to verify the payout for any possible violation before they release it.

This is not a common scenario since only user that shows some irregularities experienced this or if the amount involved is too big for their KYC verification triggered.

I believe on some mediocre casino they are using it delaying tactics the way you described but for reputable casino they are just doing some verification or else you can withdraw immediately.

[Vaculin]

I’d like to think of it that way too.

If they’re really serious with their intentions, the normal process should apply. 24H is already more than enough to investigate if a user was cheating or not. What I don’t really understand is the KYC part. Why suddenly require KYC documents when the gambler wasn’t required to submit anything when they started playing?

It feels like they’re just using the KYC requirement as a weapon against the gambler.

For me, that’s not a good practice at all, it already looks very scammy.

[JeffBrad12]

If that person came from a country with regulated gambling, he can complaint about unfair behavior showed by the site he was betting with. However, the delay can be considered normal when it only matter of days. Also asking KYC for the winning sometimes is a mandatory consider there might be a verification for the winner of gambling.
So i don't think the delay is always being intentionally made by the casino itself. It's rather a technical process to give the prize to the winner.

Nevertheless, how fast or slow the payment of prize totally depend on numerous factors such how big the win, and etc.

I do think the same sometimes. If there is a sudden delay for someone who has been winning small and is allowed to withdraw almost instantly, I do think the casino is trying to figure out a reason not to pay or delay the person enough to make them use their hand and lose the money trying to double it or out of anger.

That setup doesn’t really work all the time. I mean, not all of us here are gambling on casinos regulated in our own country. A lot of us are using casinos licensed overseas, so they’re already outside local jurisdiction. Our government can’t really protect us in that situation.

Honestly, from all the complaints I’ve seen here, especially scam accusations, I’ve never seen a lawsuit actually succeed. Most of the time, all we can do is share our experience and call out a casino if they scam us. And that alone is already enough to damage their reputation if they’re not honest with gamblers. So, the government is pretty much useless in this case. The community, especially forums like this, is way more helpful.

It’s a cheap trick if casino will delay payout for just a small withdrawal.

However, we shouldn’t be confused or mixed the story of some random user that doesn’t provide any proof that casino is delaying his withdrawal for nothing.

Most of the time they are involved on ToS violation or other abused.

[Ronsbit]

Casinos that do that sometimes have an ulterior motive, as you have said; if not, what stops them from releasing a gambler's big win after a game? Did they delay in accepting the money deposited by the gambler for the game? Then why the delay tactics? I will say that such seems to be a manipulative strategy to see the players' response or reactions to their delay and know how to respond to the players' actions in response.

In some cases, what we are thinking and saying might not be the case, as some casinos are just running short of funds. Some would let you know they do not have enough bankroll to sustain the payment, but would pay in tranches for a while till they are able to complete what they owe you, which is okay, and if the winner agree,s that's fin,e but delaying without any meaningful response is nothing short of manipulation from the casino to frustrate the winner. That's how I see such, and it is very distrusting and unreliable of a casino to do such.

Well even if there's a valid point in what you are trying to explain, I still think it doesn't really apply generally. Well to start with only a non disciplined gambler I guess would go back betting after he previously made up his mind to withdraw. Plus if you check casinos are usually in constant competition for withdrawals and payouts.

Based on this most of them want to keep up a fast withdrawal reputation to ensure they can use it to their advantage in advertisements.

Actually it depends on the situation happened since there are some condition cause the delay of withdrawals like network congestion and other technical issues currently facing by the casino.

But there are also casino do it in purpose so that they can delay the withdrawal of their players then wait for them to get tempted then gamble back all their winnings in their casino again. This action is illegal and if there are casino do that well maybe better we should start to avoid them since that action they made make them so shady and there's a chance that there are more bigger scam that might going to happen.

Payment delays are usually done by amateur casino sites. On platforms like that, I feel like I’m being scammed and I never use them again. The sites I play on process withdrawals instantly, and for very large amounts they send the payment after verification.

If KYC has been done, it may not be intentional if the gambling site is reputable already but there are some gambling sites that will say that their customers do not need to get verified before using their site. If the customers are losing money, they will keep depositing money and have no issue, but if the customers won any amount of money, the gambling site will force them to get verified or they will not be able to withdraw the money. I have also not experienced it before but people are saying they have experienced it before.

[acroman08]

Maybe they do it intentionally, maybe they don't. I've seen big wins being paid out quickly and have seen avarage to small wins being delayed. That being said, there are times I feel like that the casino's actions is suspicious and maybe hoping for the gambler to get impatient and gamble their money away, though this is just my assumption and opinion. There is really no way of knowing if they actually do it intentionally or not unless there is a undeniable evidence presented.

Delaying payment is a clear intentional plan of the casino. It’s not that they don’t want to pay the winners, but they usually take their time so they can verify everything and make sure the money goes to the right person, especially when the amount is big. KYC is just their way of checking your identity, so there’s nothing to worry about if you’ve done nothing wrong.

What becomes concerning is that if they never ask anything but just delay the payment or any means of communication about the delay. That looks suspicious, and now we can start thinking of a scam.

[Findingnemo]

We can't rule out the possibility of it happening, but finding out the intention is almost impossible until it becomes an obvious scam attempt.

From my experience, I had seen casinos do that with players like they delayed their payouts after asking KYC and later they are also forced to pay by the community but it's rare event and could be a genuine mistake made by the casino and if it happens then the casino must be ready to admit their mistakes and how swiftly they are trying to resolve the accusation against them proves their trust worthiness.

Of course I've experienced it!
It's true that some casinos, especially less reputable ones, often employ delay withdrawal tactics to increase the chances of players canceling their withdrawals and gambling again. This isn't just a conspiracy theory; it's a cunning trick. The longer funds are held, the greater the chance of players losing again because they psychologically feel it's "free money" or "money they don't really have yet."
But I once contacted their site's customer service, and they said the withdrawal delay was due to a high volume of withdrawal transactions. Is that true?

And also, suddenly KYC is being asked after that big win, delaying it even further to the point that some gamblers be frustrated and just play their winnings until they lose everything back to the casino?

Regarding KYC requests when withdrawing large amounts, I've never experienced it myself, but my friend has.
I think this is also a sneaky trick. If a site requires KYC, why not ask for it from the start? Again, this is a conspiracy to make players impatient and use their winnings to play again.

Oh God, it depends on how long the delay lasts. It's fine if they make a manual payment, but no one expects it to be instant, for goodness sake.
However, when it takes more than two days, things start to get annoying and ridiculous.
In my opinion, we need the right balance.

[nimogsm]

It seems more likely that the transaction is undergoing manual verification, namely, they are reviewing the history of games, deposits, and withdrawals. I don't think the player will change their mind during this time and start playing again. If the amount is really large, they will want to withdraw it to accounts they control rather than leave it on the service.Most transactions are automated, but large ones are definitely checked.
