Casino Pending Period Scam

This is a very annoying scam that nearly every Playtech Casino uses. As I say on the online roulette king home page fast pay out times are the most important thing to look for in online casinos.

If an online casino doesn't have the decency and the honesty to pay players as fast as they take money off them then they aren't worth bothering with. Unfortunately almost every Playtech casino has this stupid policy, it's a great shame because as I say on the best Playtech casinos page, Playtech is my favorite gaming platform.

So what is a pending period?

Well before answering this I will tell you the process of a withdrawal at my recommended casinos.

Step 1 - You win money and you make a withdrawal

Step 2 - The casino notices that you've made a withdrawal and processes it.

Step 3 - The money is in your moneybookers account or Netteler account (which ever online wallet you use to withdraw funds) around 6 hours later, no fuss, no scams, just fast pay outs.

Unfortunately most casinos don't have players best interests in mind, when you make a withdrawal rather than process it they put it in a pending period.

They then send you an email telling you that your withdrawal is in a pending period and that it will be for 4 days (96 hours)

They go on to tell you that during this time you can reverse your withdrawal at any time and put it back into your playing account because they won't be processing it until the pending period has passed.

THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM

Why wait 4 days before processing your withdrawal?

Why not just process it straight away like the casinos I recommend?

It is because the casinos don't want to pay you. They're hoping that you will get bored waiting for your money during the four days and that you will just put it back into your playing account and lose it.

Once a casino has paid someone that player can then just walk away with the money. This then means the casino are down by that much money. However while the money is still with the online casino they have much more chance of keeping hold of it.

That is why it goes into the pending period, they want you to become bored waiting for your money, put it back into your playing account and lose.

This is despicable, ripping people off like this and not paying people on time, please don't play at these casinos, they're ripping you off, you will never get these kinds of problems with the casinos that I recommend on the online roulette king home page.

If you know of Playtech casinos that don't scam people with a pending period please get in touch with me via the contact page. I will update the website and start using the casino myself
