One of the things the PAB team has seen a sharp rise in recently is players not happy that they are being asked by some casinos to deposit $£#50, $£#100, or more in order to “release your winnings”. These are often regular winnings, not winnings from free spins or NDBs. And some casinos are even asking for a repeat deposit.
To us in the Complaints area this seems totally bogus. True, occasionally a casino will ask for a small deposit — $£#20-ish, at most — in order to see the money trail and satisfy their Risk departments but we think these increased payment requests are just a scam to get more of player’s money. Before we issue a General Warning about this we wanted to see what the community had to say on the subject.
