The player from Italy had been waiting for a withdrawal for less than two weeks. Unfortunately, their payout had not been received yet. The player’s winnings had originated from a no-deposit bonus, and he had never made any deposits before. The casino required a verification deposit before processing withdrawals from no-deposit bonuses without prior deposits, as stated in their Terms and Conditions. Despite the player’s claim that his account had been previously verified and ready for withdrawal, the casino’s policy and AML procedures necessitated this verification deposit. Due to the player’s lack of response to further inquiries, the complaint was closed for the time being.
Subject: Refusal to honor official Banking Clearance - Contradictory and Predatory practices.
Message:
I am filing this formal complaint against Casino Brango regarding the obstruction of a $54.10/ 50$ withdrawal.
The core of the dispute is a direct contradiction between their internal departments:
On January 23rd, at 15:12, I received an official email from Casino Brango's Banking Department (the highest authority for payments) stating: "Your account status is verified. You are now ready for Instant Withdrawal."
Following this final clearance, the casino’s support team is now refusing to process the payment, retroactively applying Term 6.1.q to demand a "verification deposit."
I contest this for the following reasons:
Breach of Specific Agreement: An official confirmation of "Instant Withdrawal" eligibility issued after the KYC process constitutes a specific agreement that overrides general Terms and Conditions.
Misleading Practices: Demanding a deposit after officially informing a customer they are ready for immediate payout is a predatory tactic designed to force further funds into the system under false pretenses.
Internal Fragmentation: I should not be penalized for Casino Brango’s failure to synchronize its Banking and Support departments.
Requested Outcome: I demand the immediate manual processing of my $54.10 / 50 $
withdrawal as per the Banking Department's original authorization. I have attached the screenshot of the clearance received on Jan 23rd as definitive proof.
Casino Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino Guru and does that, do not share any information.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests. That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint.
If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
I am escalating this case to Casino Guru because Casino Brango is engaging in predatory and deceptive business practices.
On Jan 23rd, their Banking Dept. issued a formal, written confirmation: "Your account is verified. You are now ready for Instant Withdrawal." Relying on this official statement, I requested my payout of $54.10. Now, they are refusing to honor it, demanding a "verification deposit" and hiding behind Terms and Conditions that their own Banking Dept. clearly waived when they authorized the "Instant Withdrawal" status.
This is a classic "Bait and Switch" scheme: they confirm the money is ready to be sent to lure the player, then they hold the funds hostage unless a deposit is made.
I have already filed a formal complaint with Antillephone N.V. (https://www.google.com/search?q=GamingLicence.com). However, the regulator is currently unresponsive, allowing the operator to continue this harassment. Brango's support (agents Vincent, Joe, and Steve) is intentionally stalling by sending identical "copy-paste" scripts, refusing to explain why they issued a false clearance on Jan 23rd.
This is not a "misunderstanding." This is Systemic Deception. If a casino's Banking Dept. says you are ready to withdraw, you are ready. Changing the rules after the fact is a violation of every fair gaming standard.
I am requesting Casino Guru to intervene immediately. I have documented evidence of the entire conversation, proving the operator's bad faith. I will not pay a single cent to receive what was already officially authorized.
Desired Outcome: Immediate release of my $54.10 and a formal review of the operator's deceptive communication practices.
I hope you are doing well. As the recommended time frame has now passed, could you kindly update us on whether your withdrawal has successfully been received or if there have been any new developments regarding your case? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
Good morning Karla, still nothing, my withdrawal is blocked. Attached is a screenshot with the amount to withdraw. I would like to inform you that the situation has been very stressful in recent days because the Brango Casino support and the bank have sent me numerous emails from various operators and are causing me moral harm. They have bombarded me with emails even though they met all the requirements of my complaint and my proof that my withdrawal was approved by the bank on January 23, 2026. They pretend nothing happened and continue to send me emails from various operators. They also sent me an email on January 29, 2026 saying that within a week, or within 7 days, they would cancel the amount to be withdrawn. I just checked the casino website and the amount is still there. I am also having problems with the Limitless casino, which is part of the Brango Casino, where I have another $50 to withdraw. On January 28, 2026, the casino wants my documents for the second time and they are also not authorizing my withdrawal. The situation has become a game without rules towards me and my identity documents and my face. I hope he can get my money after putting my face on the line. Thanks, Karla.
Thank you for your response. Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can fully understand the situation.
Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus (or was it from a no-deposit bonus)?
Did you play casino games or place sports bets?
Have they clearly explained why a "verification deposit" is required despite the previous confirmation from the Banking Department?
Could you also please share your recent communication with the casino regarding the delayed withdrawal? You may post screenshots here or send emails/chat transcripts to my email at karla.m@casino.guru.
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
Thank you for your update and for informing me that you sent the emails.
To proceed further, I still need clarification on a few important points that have not been clearly answered:
Were your winnings accumulated from a deposit bonus, a no-deposit bonus, or purely from real-money play without any bonus?
Have you ever made a successful withdrawal at Brango Casino before this case?
Have you already made any deposits on this account prior to this withdrawal request? If yes, how much in total?
Has the casino clearly stated in writing that the withdrawal will only be processed after making a verification deposit? If yes, please confirm the exact wording.
Is your account currently fully verified in the "Verification" section of your casino profile?
These details are essential for us to properly evaluate whether the casino’s request is justified or not.
Since you confirmed that the winnings were obtained from a no-deposit bonus and you have not made any prior deposits, I would like to point out that Casino Brango mentions a "verification deposit" requirement directly in their Terms and Conditions.
Section 6: "Deposit and Withdrawals" -> 6.1.q
"Upon requesting a withdrawal from a non-deposit bonus, a verification deposit is required, if the customer doesn't have a prior deposit."
This means that, according to the casino’s rules, requesting a verification deposit in your situation can be considered a standard procedure for withdrawals from non-deposit bonuses when the player has not deposited before.
If you wish to proceed, please let us know whether the casino has clearly stated the exact amount and method of the required verification deposit, and whether they confirmed in writing that once it is made, your withdrawal will be processed.
Dear Karla, good morning. I repeat, either you haven't fully understood the situation or you didn't understand the emails I sent you. I hope you're not on the casino's side. I repeat, the casino and the bank authorized my withdrawal on January 23, stating that my account is verified and ready to withdraw without any deposit. After my withdrawal request, they cited the points you mentioned. I repeat, it's permissible. First, they tell me that my account is verified and can withdraw, and then they come back to me and cite the points you mentioned, Karla, to get me to make the deposit. You're a total word-eater, especially when it's written! At this point, Karla, if you're incompetent or you're on the casino's side, close the case and goodbye. Next time, study the case more carefully!
このため、カジノの利用規約にこの要件が明記されている場合、この初回入金が完了しないと、カジノ側は出金を許可しない可能性があります。これは、カジノのルールと AML 手順の下で、初回入金が必要な検証手順とみなされるためです。

Dear Gaetanol,
Thank you for your reply.
I understand your argument. Your point is that you were previously informed that your account was verified and ready for withdrawal, and only afterward the casino referred to the rule about a verification deposit. I understand why this may feel contradictory or confusing from your point of view.
However, for us to assess the complaint fairly, we must also take into account the casino’s Terms and Conditions and the type of winnings involved.
Based on your clarification, the winnings were obtained from a no-deposit bonus, and you also confirmed that you have never made a deposit on this account before. This is important because the casino’s rule 6.1.q specifically states that when a withdrawal is requested from a non-deposit bonus and the player has not made any prior deposit, a verification deposit may be required.
Therefore, the reason I mentioned this rule is not because I am ignoring the information you provided or taking the casino’s side. I am pointing it out because this condition appears to apply to your case based on the details you shared.
Additionally, requesting a first deposit in such situations is a relatively common procedure among many online casinos. It is often part of standard AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and payment verification policies, which require the casino to confirm that the withdrawal payment method belongs to the player. This is typically done by asking the player to make a small verification deposit before the withdrawal can be processed.
For this reason, if the casino’s Terms and Conditions clearly state this requirement, it is possible that without completing this initial deposit the casino will not allow the withdrawal to proceed, as it would be considered a necessary verification step under their rules and AML procedures.
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
We regret to inform you that, due to the lack of response from the player to our messages, inquiries, and reminder, we are unable to proceed with further investigation or provide potential solutions at this time. As a result, we must close this complaint for the moment. However, please note that the player retains the option to reopen this complaint at any time in the future should they choose to resume communication. We remain open and ready to assist in resolving the matter should the player decide to reach out again.
