This could take a while…. but essentially my Dad sometimes plays high stakes slots had a real big win around March of this year. £25K plus with Casumo. They asked for source of wealth and he provided proof of earnings upwards of £500,000 with house sales and private pensions etc it wasn’t  enough for them they so he asked to escalate to their ADR as he knew the bet was placed legitimately. Now fast forward  a few weeks and Casumo reported him to the bank presumably to welch out of paying out. The bank froze every bank account within the family without warning to perform a SAR (suspicious activity report) as if it hadn’t gone far enough they then escalated this to the national crime agency. Then on the 10th June while my Dad was out of the Country 15 armed police along with Forensic investigators arrested me and interviewed my wife under caution. During the interview it turns out that a business associate of mine (I’m in the surplus printer cartridge industry) was convicted of Supply of class A and is now serving a lengthy sentence, rightly so. The kicker is that the police have accused the family of laundering money from a legitimate business that has no restrictions. Essentially the money from that business has been proved to be completely legitimate. Even more laughable is that a few days after my arrest Casumo agreed to pay out on the bet. All the while me and my Family still have frozen bank accounts and have to walk in the bank every week to request the crown prosecution to unfreeze our account to withdraw £250 a week living expenses. Both my Dad and my customers for our business have been contacted and told we are dangerous criminals with no evidence to back that up. If this is not a warning to others that innocent people can lose nearly everything from a completely legal activity – gambling. Be careful out there folks

Lengthy response just posted to tell the tale but looks like mods are blocking it.

I think the most unlikely thing would be making a withdrawal from a online casino and it going through without a hitch.

Sometimes when the Bandit is heavily down I question his game choices. There’s only a few games that have the ability to get you out of the hole. Like Creature of the Lagoon at £16 a spin when your £50,000 down?

Trr420 I agree with you it‘a wrong to do this at withdrawal stage but I disagree with your reasoning. The reason casinos do this at withdrawal stage is to hopefully find something to contradict their terms and conditions or give them a way to wriggle out of paying out (especially in cases of a large win) For instance any cash payments in your bank they could say the onus is on you to prove the money is not from criminal gains. Or a bank transfer from a family member they would say that it breaches their terms and conditions as you could have been placing the stake for another person. The corruption is unreal like I’ve never seen in any other industry….
