Hi everyone my name is don and I would like to tell you what has happened to me recently, I won a huge jackpot at least its huge to me, It was a 30+thousand dollar win on the slot game cashsplash. When I made my withdrawal it took 3 weeks to get the checks that I was told were issued at the 1 week mark, but thats ok at least i received the checks. Now trying to deposit the checks seem to becoming the biggest issue, My bank says they have to send to collections because they cannot verify the company that the checks were issued from, They told me I could be looking at up to 3 months to process, I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I am in Canada and the checks come thru the Korean bank of Canada. If I have to wait 3 months it really takes the fun of the win away. Sorry for such a long story but this is actually really condensed. My situation is very dire to say the least, So if anyone has any input on Golden Lounge casino could you let me know.

Welcome to the forum Don. Three months sounds absurd IMO, but I am also not familiar with Canadian Banking rules either. I know that here in the states that the banks are required by regulations to not hold funds for no longer that 21 business days at the max. They are also required to release $100 to you in the first 24 hours and another $5,000 after the 11th day and then the remainder by the 21st business day. If I were you I would actually check into the Canadian Banking regulations in your province there.

Thanks for your input on checking into the laws, I will do that but the update is that my bank has now sent the police to my house for trying to cash fraudulent checks, They said that there was no such company or account and if I try to cash bogus checks again I will be charged. So I highly recommend not playing at golden lounge casino, when I contacted them and finally got someone on live chat, because the number has been suspended all they have said is that the checks they have issued before have not had a problem and that the financial department will get back to me, I am so depressed I won 36,615 dollars and now I am being told I could be charged with fraud. I cannot even believe they are still in business, I cannot be the first one to have this happen at there casino, does anyone think I will ever get my money?

I am sorry this has happened to you, can you ask the casino to set you up with Netteller, using your bank account can be risky business and I personally wouldn't even accept a check from any casino. Don't be depressed there is always light at every tunnel. Hope everything works out for you. You need to file a PAB. Contact Maxd and maybe he can help you.

Hi everyone sorry I think I posted before I said a little about me, I am a 40ish man that has done various occupations, such as pool service tech, automotive assembly, high pressure service tech, air craft manufactureing, and a few others. I have a cervical disorder now and am disabled due to it, I like to gamble, drive, fish and just be outdoors, also enjoy a good thunder storm.
Thanks for listening talk to you later.

Nightowl:

Did you get this matter resolved? Did the casino pay you by some other method?

This is a lot of money, don't just let it go. And if they made things right, please let us know that as well.

Hey Nightowl,

from your "All's Great", are we to assume that the matter is resolved and the cash is in your account?

Just thought I'd throw in my tuppence-worth, as I work in a bank in the UK. From what your bank are telling you, it sounds like their bank is based in a different country to yours, essentially leading to the chq being sent to collections.

This is standard practice, basically as it's a foreign cheque banks consider it to be at a higher risk of fraud, so want to make sure they get the money from the other bank first before they hand it over to yourself. With us, we'd normally advise a timescale of around 6-8 weeks, depending on how quick the other bank get back to us.

Good luck, and if you've already got the money, have a glass of champers for me!
