Banks are supposed to do reports on ANY unusual transactions on over £10k. If they see if coming from a solicitor, the report will say 'came from known solicitor', but even then they can ask for proof. Happened to a friend who got £52k from a house sale in Feb. Froze the account completely until he took documents down to prove where it came from (with Lloyds).
These will raise eyebrows and should be flagged up, so best be prepared.Gambling transactions will be given extra scrutiny due to the fact you can money launder through them without too much difficulty.

I find ML impossible unless you are the casino. For example, in this case, there is a min deposit that ended in a jackpot win. After a quick look at the acc., thinking ML is absolutely ridiculous.
Banks know WH, know the player and know the strict checks required by UKGC. There shouldn't even be a need for a screenshot .....

Having said that, in another case, another time and place/country, the bank manager took one look at the winning screenshot and said "What is this? I am not a detective.".

 

[greylady]

Why not preempt any problems and just contact the bank directly and advise them of the win and the incoming transaction and ask if there is anything the bank need i.e. proof of the win to ease the flow and maybe not have any 'hold' put on the account.

It's what I would do rather than wait and have the account frozen in the meantime

I agree WH shouldn't do the checks, but the bank can't see the account, they may have deposited from one account and withdrawing to another. Regardless, banks have to, by law, do the report on any 'non regular' payment over £10k, known or not. Solicitors are MUCH stricter than casinos, and MUCH more unlikely to get photoshopped documents as 'proof' yet banks still do the reports on money coming in from them.

I have been playing years, always avoid jackpot games because i never win anything

before this win my biggest withdrawal had been 2600 at boyle casino

I deposited 10 quid 3 days ago at william hill, playing games withdrew 200, lost it thanks to it still pending after 22 hours i reversed and withdrew 180 to play with the 20, at a point i went down under a pound and then few wins i got up to 100. withdrew 75, kept playing different games other than bonanza as thats been taking all my money recently

tried this game for the first time and under 100 spins

That is really amazing ! I guess that game is not too popular and its jackpot was about to hit so it did hit on your 40 penny per spin after a couple dozens of spins. Great story ! Take care of that money and don't lose your head !
Also, that's one case when it shows us that sometimes is not that bad to reverse a pending withdrawal hehehe ! Question for you: if your withdrawal wouldn't have been pending but already paid to you, would you have made a second 20 deposit?

Cheers,
Denis

Congratulations on your win and all the very best in getting a place of your own. That warms my heart

I admire your level headed approach to playing and may it long be the case. You are the winner today and for the next 10 years ...if you continue the way you always play! Dont let anyone take that away from you

[itsover2014]

Congrats, I played this loads back in the day when ladbrokes were different, and It used to murder me!

 

[dunover]

Why a bit organization like Hills feels it necessary to have a bloody 3-day pending is beyond me. Especially in these circumstances.

 

[aceking123]

i'm not sure with william hill , it depends on when you make the withdrawal , ive had most of mine done within hours or by 11pm. i think i could hold out three days waiting for over a 100k )

 

[dillfly2000]

winning that much I'd probably lay off the slots for while.... Probably not lol.

 

[goatwack]

I'd think it pretty obvious why they'd want to hold onto large amounts for as long as possible, given that they're paying out large amounts all the time and this isn't a 'one -off'. Financially it's only in their (literal) best interest to do so surely, than pay it out instantly.

We can fully empathize with reversing a couple of hundred over a three- day waiting period, but it's safe to say with a hundred grand one would do everything to leave that amount intact, probably through fear of somehow sabotaging the withdrawal. There's no chance in hell anyone would chance that, unless of course that amount is chump change to them

 

[paul7388]

To be fair to WH they pay daily at 11pm Sunday to Thursday. Even if you withdraw at 10.58 pm they still process it at 11pm.

But same as any casino they would do extra Checks on a huge win or progressive.

Personally i would have expected WH to have contacted him or if it was me i would have been straight on phone to them making sure no problems lol

Your friend must have had other activity to make them suspicious, a number of things can trigger a ML check. Using your example for one, the whole conveyancing system would grind to a halt if it was commonplace, seeing as simultaneous completions mean much larger funds than that need to be mutually transacted in a matter of hours. I can tell you with certainty that 50k entering an account even in personal banking terms is nothing, the only thing that would "raise eyebrows" would be if someone came in and paid that in cash. I bet you anything the only contact the OP has from his Bank is perhaps a call from the branch Investment Adviser looking to do a bit business.

I asked my bank once when I won, and they told me that anything 10 k and over gets an automatic flag. I said phewww. I would never have to worry then.

Nope, nothing that should make them suspicious. He uses the account for his wages and PIP to be paid into, that is all. I've been called in myself on numerous occasions too, for cash, cheques and transfer transactions. Twice I've had over £100k paid in and not been spoken to though, but that was from solicitors both times.

Dennis, i wouldn't have deposited 20 anyway, i would have happily gave videoslots a tenner out of that 200 but since they kept it pending, there loss. Also I had to reverse all of it but i withdrew back 185 straight away cuz only wanted to try few different games than bonanza.

Tried dukula, got the super wheel but didn't win the jackpot instead 80x bet at min bet, then tried few other games while scrolling through the promos on game page i saw them promoting this game ( i didn't know it was a jackpot game when i started playing it), for some reason i went with 40p spins instead of 20p cuz i had gone up from 15 to 31 or 34 and as i had a withdrawal pending i didn't mind losing the 15 quid. TBH i think i just wanted to sleep so went with 40p spins

Long story short, WH might change their withdrawal reversal policy after this

Sadly they haven't contacted me, i went on live chat and the guy said i should wait and they will email me. I don't want to make them anxious by start calling them as also been at work all day today and yesterday so not had time

Nate, i used to love watching ur wins of 18quid a spin on doa at redbet and winning over 50k and insane amounts. DOA is still my eternal love but i don't like the html5 version, even though i had a double wildline, a wildline and 5 scatters within 10,000 spins. The losing sessions are so quick that it eats a deposit in mins so dont get the playtime. Hence changed the game to bonanza(bad decision) but it gives me hours of playtime at min bet

Thanks! and hope u upload some more of your great wins soon

 

[asadzareef89]

Omg, been playing this game for years, was one of the first ones I ever played!! Super huge congratulations!! Wish it was me.. oh and by the way... are you married? lol... Enjoy your new stress free life when it hits your bank.. like WOWWWW!

Thanks! Yes i'm married with 3 beautiful girls, i am going to spoil them just a little bit

 

[Jasminebed]

I must say I'm surprised William Hill has not been in touch at all. You would think they would be doing everything possible to make sure the player stays loyal to them. An email saying sorry it will take a few extra days while we check with the slot provider. Something.

When I won big a couple of years ago, I got no communication at all from PlayOLG, just the money in my account one week later. But they have no idea how to run a casino. I would have thought William Hill would be a little better.

All in all though, I was happy I had a week to think about things and cool down a bit. I have no idea how you are sleeping at night and functioning at work, I was a complete nervous wreck.

 

[goatwack]

I think bookies are much more 'matter of fact' about these things, I'd imagine they'll pay it no questions asked, no fanfare.....unlike perhaps other casinos who'd add a bit more personal interaction to the proceedings.

It'll just pop up on the old bank account I should think. The only ones raising eyebrows would be the bank, but nothing other than a formal check via a phonecall I'd suspect. Had significant amounts go in before and I couldn't shake the bastards

 

[bebo67]

Thanks! Yes i'm married with 3 beautiful girls, i am going to spoil them just a little bit

And I thought you are a female. Are you not?

 

[GC_Konstantin]

Thanks, that makes your win even sweeter ! Yep, I too think that when it is something good to happen, it will probably happen anyway, no matter how unlikely that it is to happen ! Super mega congrats to you once again !

TBH! I'm so short staffed that i'm doing 14 hours shifts and my last rest day was 23rd march so i'm falling asleep great, work is so busy that i don't have time to sulk over the wait. I work for an airline catering business and summer schedule is crazy for Virgin, cathay and EasyJet.

Update: just rang William Hill and the guy said the payments team have flagged the withdrawal so its getting checked (he doesn't know how long it will take) but the payments team haven't requested anything from me (that's what he said), because when i re-opened the account they automatically verified me but i still sent all my documents and they said Thanks! we'll keep them on record.

He said normally these things take around 48 hours but he don't know how long it will be in my case just that it is being checked and i'll be informed as soon as its been checked and processed
