What puts a casino on the list
- Withdrawals that are delayed indefinitely without a stated reason.
- Bonus or maximum-cashout rules applied retroactively to void a win.
- Accounts closed and balances kept after a verification request is met.
- Support that stops responding once a payout is due.
- Games or licence claims that cannot be verified anywhere.
How to check a site yourself
Search the brand name together with words like withdrawal or payout and read the complaints rather than the reviews. Patterns matter more than single angry posts.
Verify the licence on the regulator's own register, and check whether the operating company named in the footer actually exists.
If you are already stuck
- Put your complaint in writing and keep every reply and screenshot.
- Escalate to the licensing authority named in the terms.
- Stop depositing more money to unlock a withdrawal — that request is itself a red flag.
- Warn other players publicly so the pattern is documented.
Our verdict
Most bad experiences are avoidable with ten minutes of checking before the first deposit. Verify the licence, test a small withdrawal, and walk away from any site that fails either step.
