Mandatory SOW coming soon!

Rizk have SOW'ed me (again?) now, I sent in a payslip as requested, but now they want bank statments showing that the salary is actually put into my account.

I just can't be bothered, they have gone downhill after Bettson bought them up anyway. Payslip clearly shows my salary, so there should be no need for anything else.

They're basically making us feel like fraudsters/criminals - guilty for no bloody reason, all for wanting to have a spin!
 
Interestingly at the land based casino I used to go to I had a few nice wins, last year a handpay on Book Of Ra (£2K+) and they advised they would pay it out 'this time' but next time I would need to show up with various documents to further prove my identity, not sure which as I haven't even been back since for various reasons!

For all the deposit limit talk online too this particular land based casino has (or at least used to have) a walk in policy, don't worry about having to sign up unless you get a big win...lose as much as you want anonymously!
Yes that's the £1500 threshold, uk casinos have to follow, once surpassed they can ask for more identity & what works you do, but as a general rule you can walk away without all the online hassle. I think even now you can have your winnings paid back to the card as well.
 
Had one of these from Pokerstars, sent a payslip as requested and my bank statement showing the salary going in to the bank. I told them on the form it was my salary that i used for my deposits, but they now want to see my savings account statement.
Told them no, if they dont want me to play there i wont.
They had restricted my account to a monthly deposit limit of $200, so I wont be spending too much there going forward.

But this is it, what has the size of a withdrawal got to do with how much you can afford to spend or whether you’re a fraudster or not? It’s not like anyone can’t afford a withdrawal.

It doesn't a few years ago I cashed for 2.5k deposit at cashier for chips, cashier said nothing gave me the chips on exchange of money, played all night cashed out over 6k nothing required.

Following time back at casino again 500 deposit manager came over asked if & what I did for a job. I told him, he said no problem & updated the system.

Never had any problems or concerns that I wouldn't be paid from a live casino.
 
Well heres a good one.

I have been playing in Slotsmillion for the last year. In this time , I made 12k plus in deposits and have had one withdrawal received. After providing all docs.

On Feb 8th after I had taken a 1 month break. A day later I got asked to upload/provide a payslip as a Sow. I looked for the function but there was no upload provided, even still not as I write this.

Needless to say, I thought nothing of it and continued as normal depositing. I am temp lay-off due to Covid restrictions, My job does not come back probably til next month or so. And besides, I do not want to provide more the enough Personal info to them.


So, anyway the day before yesterday. I made a 30euro deposit and made my way to over 5k in wins. I went to withdraw and bang not allowed too withdraw or deposit. Yet, I could deposit a few hours earlier and for the last 6 weeks.

To cut a long story short, I played away the winnings eventually and left 120e in my account and then proceeded to write an email and livechat, requesting the 120e be credited to my payment method. Got no reply 14 hours later. Still nothing, logged into my account played the 120 to zero.

3 hours later account restrictions lifted. :laugh:

Today, logged in and complained on How I thought, how so convenient that was and also I thought it was predatory.

Needless to say they have now closed my account pending Docs.

For me, This is not about the money, I'm done I will cut my losses and give the middle finger to all Online Casinos.

Sorry but that is just Major Bs.
Just to add. They only sent 1 email requesting this. And also, I have been speaking to support at least once a week since they asked.
Not once in that time, did they make another attempt to require the said Docs.

After my Live chat conversation this morning, the only reply i got in this time. is my account has been closed due to required Docs. ie Payslip.
 
I see what the OP is stating.

I'm min £200 to £400 a month in deposits and not had a single request from VS in a few years for anything.
As soon as i get a big win, still waiting from my 750x win on opal fruits from last year, i will be closing my account, but after 40 deposits still not able to get a winover 150x.

I'm sure anything over my normal withdrawal £20 to £50 i will get the checks because the casinos know exactly what we play n withdrawal, that's when my play ends.

With VS and their freerolls it keeps you playing more than you want. Then you feel like you are wagering the biggest bonus ever through the month, without any wins or barely a withdrawal.

Somethings not right and we all feel it, unless you are an NPC.
 
So all this palaver is ok with the UKGC but soon we wont be able to autoplay games,God preserve us, they have never
been fit for purpose and are a million miles from reality
And still a lot of slots have the max bet button right next to the spin button. Another nasty anti player trick that nearly everyone has lost money from.
 
Think about it logically. These UKGC regulations coming out this year are meant to protect the vulnerable, And that has to be a good thing imo.

Im not sure if you're being flippant :)

Most of the changes are good, no credit card, SOW to a degree (only big deposits, quickly and together etc)

But things like no auto play, no bonus buys (to a degree) are absolute tosh.

Get rid of bonus buys, but there is nothing stopping you putting a £1k bet on blackjack.

Its just inconsistent on logic and thats where the frustration lies i think.

I dont think people actually think all UKGC regulation is terrible.

I'm ecstatic for you, yet another completely unrelated thread you can try to derail with your tinfoil hat :cheerleader:
 
Ahh great to see this site for what it is @maxd and you call me what? When you have people put their opinions on there experience then get called names from actual people.

No wonder the World is as rabid as a diseased dog, you're chomping at the bit put you fellow person down to defend the corporate parasites that have ruined people and their families.

Great to see you are nothing more than parasites yourselves ready to jump on people and put them down,

What? Seriously you are crying about the posts in this thread after you called Kroffe a pedo recently for absolutely no reason at all?
You should have been banned for that, and yet here you are calling others parasites. Glad you tagged @maxd but just to make sure they see it, @Casinomeister
 
I'm clearly blind, because I see absolutely no name calling here what so ever. You are however being called out on your urge to post the same claims of conspiracy over and over again no matter if the thread in question is even remotely relevant for it.

You have also claimed time and time again you will stop playing for the same reasons, and yet here you are and being called out for that as well.

And as Colin already pointed out, you should have been banned already for calling kroffe a pedo.

Maybe if we could trust casinos to use SOW properly there would be less resistance...

A couple weeks ago I received an email requesting I go through SOW with Bet at, a casino where I haven't even logged in (much less deposited) in years (and I couldn't even if I tried because they banned all UK players).

Obviously I simply ignored that email, but it certainly did not bolster my confidence in the ability of casinos to be trusted with things like SOW.

I think you need to take a break - this kind of flaming is not conducive to reasoned discussion. No need for it.
