Payment record
Note the request date and time, amount, currency, selected method and the status exactly as displayed. Keep any request ID or provider reference.
Account messages
Check the operator's secure inbox and published help pages for verification or payment-ownership requests. Use only the official logged-in channel to upload documents.
Method and recipient
Confirm which method was selected and whether the destination details are correct. Never ask a third party to receive gambling funds on your behalf.
Timing stage
Ask whether the payment is awaiting operator review, provider processing or receiving-bank posting. Separate the operator's estimate from the bank's own estimate.
Support message example
“Please confirm which stage request [reference] is at, when it entered that stage, whether anything is required from me, and the applicable complaint route if the stated time has passed.” Do not include full payment credentials.
