“Why is my Pistolo withdrawal still pending?” appears on screen when the cashier keeps showing a pending status. The most common cause is that identity verification is incomplete.
Identity verification stuck or documents rejected
The KYC section shows a pending review or a rejection message for the uploaded documents.
- A photo is blurry, cropped or shows glare on the text.
- The document is expired or the edges are cut off.
- The name on the document does not match the account details.
- The proof of address is older than the period the casino accepts.
- A selfie was taken in low light or with the face partly covered.
- Open the profile area and find the verification section.
- Check which document type was rejected and why.
- Take a new photo in daylight with the whole document in frame.
- Keep all four corners visible and avoid shadows across the text.
- Use the original file, not a screenshot or a compressed copy.
- Confirm that the name and address match the account exactly.
- Upload a proof of address that shows your name and full address.
- Make sure the address document is recent enough for the casino.
- Take the selfie against a plain wall with your face fully visible.
- Hold the ID next to your face if the prompt asks for it.
- Submit each document one at a time and wait for the upload to finish.
- Do not send the same file twice while a review is open.
- Use a stable connection so the upload does not stop halfway.
- Return to the verification section later to read the new status.
- Keep the original files saved in case a second upload is needed.
Contact support when a document is clearly readable and still rejected after a second upload, or when the review shows no change for a long period.

- Verification is not finished, so the payment is held.
- A bonus is still active and its play conditions are unmet.
- The payout method belongs to another person.

- Review the message centre for any request from the payments team.
- Reply to a document request with clear files in one message.
- Log in through the phone browser to see the latest status.
- Wait for the stated review window before taking further action.
Contact support when the status has not moved after the review window and all documents are approved.
Deposit left the bank but not on the casino balance
The bank shows the payment as sent, while the casino balance still shows the old amount.

- The deposit was sent to an old payment reference.

- Ask the bank whether the transfer is completed or still in progress.
- Request the bank’s transfer confirmation or receipt.
- Note the exact amount and the time the payment left the bank.
- Look for any bank message about a hold or a security check.
- Do not send the deposit a second time while the first is unresolved.
- Open the support chat and describe the missing deposit in one message.
- Attach the bank receipt and the payment reference to that message.
- Keep the chat open until an agent confirms the case is logged.
- Wait for the payment provider to trace the transfer.
- Check the balance again after the provider confirms the transfer.
Contact support when the bank confirms the money left and the deposit is still missing after the provider’s trace.
Welcome bonus or free spins not credited

- The bonus code was missing or typed with a mistake.
- The deposit was made before the bonus was selected.
- The bonus was already claimed on an earlier deposit.
- The payment method used is excluded from the offer.
- The bonus expired before the deposit was completed.
- Open the bonus section and check for an active or expired offer.
- Read the offer rules for the minimum deposit it requires.
- Confirm the deposit met that minimum amount.
- Check that the code was entered exactly, with no extra spaces.
- Look at the payment method used and whether the offer allows it.
- Make sure the bonus was selected before the deposit, not after.
- Check that this is the first deposit on the account.
- See whether the free spins need a separate activation step.
- Look for a message saying the offer is already used.
- Log out and back in to refresh the bonus balance.
- Take a screenshot of the deposit and the missing bonus.
- Contact support with the deposit reference and the offer name.
- Explain that the code was entered and the deposit was made.
- Ask whether the bonus can be added manually or needs a new deposit.
- Wait for the reply before making another deposit for the same offer.
Contact support when the deposit met every condition and the bonus still does not appear.
Keep your profile details and documents current before you deposit, because most login, payout and bonus problems start with a mismatch there.
