Casino deposit not received: what to do

Money debited but no balance in your player account: there are player reports on this for Playzilla, Qbet and AmunRa, among others. Outcomes range from a deposit credited after two days ("Sofort", Qbet) to two bank transfers that, according to the player, were still missing after three months.

First step: where the money is stuck

Check on your bank statement whether the booking is only pending or already executed. Then check whether the deposit appears in the transaction history of your player account. The two can differ: one player had two deposits at Playzilla showing in the history that, according to the player, were never credited (casino.guru). After a bank transfer, on the other hand, you may simply be waiting for the bank.

Common causes

The bank declines or reverses the payment. Some banks do not execute casino payments, reverse them or query the customer. In one player report the bank reversed every deposit, and the operator also charged a "processing fee" for it. At AmunRa, TF Bank confirmed in writing to a player that the payment had been declined and returned; the casino still asked for new documents.

The payment account is not in your own name. Under Section 16(4) GwG, deposits may only come by direct debit, bank transfer or payment card from a payment account in the player's name; amounts of up to €25 per transaction and €100 per calendar month are exempt (gesetze-im-internet.de, as of 06.10.2026). For e-money and prepaid, such as a Paysafecard account, the holder of the funds must be identical to the holder of the player account (Section 16(6) GwG, as of 07.10.2026). Section 6b(4) GlüStV allows deposits and withdrawals only via a payment account in the player's name and rules out anonymous means of payment in online distribution (gesetze-bayern.de, as of 06.10.2026).

The monthly limit has been reached. Under Section 6c(1) GlüStV, every player sets a cross-operator monthly deposit limit at registration, which as a rule may not exceed €1,000 (as of 06.10.2026). According to the FAQ of the Joint Gambling Authority of the German states, failed payments also count towards the monthly LUGAS limit; it resets on the first day of each month.

An input error with Paysafecard. Check the Paysafecard PIN code before you trigger the deposit again.

The money is stuck in the e-wallet. If you want to pay with Skrill at the casino, first check whether the amount has reached your Skrill account. Until then, the casino is not involved at all.

Crediting by payment method

According to an answer on gutefrage.net, a regular bank transfer to an online casino takes three to four working days, Sofort transfers and Giropay one hour at most. A Qbet player, however, reports that a "Sofort" payment took two days before the money was in the player account.

Crypto: at Qbet almost instant according to askgamblers.com, based on a single USDC deposit. E-wallet: at AmunRa "available instantly" according to one player report on AskGamblers. PlayiO states a general processing time of "Instant" according to casinoohnelizenz.com. No source gives a crediting time for Paysafecard or credit card, and for Playzilla and Rolling Slots there is no information for any payment method.

Proof for support

According to AskGamblers, all brands offer 24/7 live chat and email. Have proof ready for support: a screenshot of the debit, a bank statement or proof of the debit.

At Qbet, support repeatedly asked one player for a bank statement, and the money neither arrived nor came back. Two Qbet reports link the missing deposit with the question of how money gets back.

Contact by brand

The email addresses according to AskGamblers: support@playzilla.com, support@rollingslots.com, support@playio.com, support@qbet.com and support@amunra.com.

Playzilla: website in German, support and live chat in English only according to casino.guru. Rolling Slots: support and live chat in German according to casino.guru, support in English only according to AskGamblers; there is also a contact form but no phone support. PlayiO: support in English only according to AskGamblers, also in German according to casino.guru. Qbet: support in German according to both sources; in the chat a chatbot answers first, a live agent is one click away (AskGamblers). AmunRa: support and chat in German according to casino.guru, while according to AskGamblers the agents in the AmunRa live chat reply in English with automatic translation; there is also a contact form and a help section.

Wait, follow up, escalate

Reported waiting times: with "finance department, three days", Playzilla support put off a player whose deposit was still missing days later; he then took the case to AskGamblers. A bank transfer was credited after five days, while a Sofort transfer at Qbet was still unresolved after more than six days.

At AmunRa, support offered another deposit after three days of waiting. Where LUGAS applies, every further deposit counts towards the monthly limit. Two more AmunRa reports on AskGamblers: a deposit via the payment service Zimpler was not credited, and another, according to the player, did not arrive for almost two months.

If support gets nowhere, the payment service is the next contact: your bank, Sofort/Klarna or, for example, Zimpler.

What the rules say

Section 6b(2) GlüStV addresses crediting explicitly: deposits and winnings must be credited without undue delay, and withdrawals must be deducted from the player account without undue delay once the player requests them (gesetze-bayern.de, as of 06.10.2026).

Section 6a(4) GlüStV covers the opposite direction: before the player's details are confirmed, participation in play and withdrawals are not permitted (gesetze-bayern.de, as of 06.10.2026).

With a SEPA core direct debit, the payer can request a refund from their bank within eight weeks of the debit without giving reasons; the bank decides within ten business days (Section 675x BGB, gesetze-im-internet.de, as of 07.10.2026). Section 675u BGB applies only to an unauthorised payment transaction: the bank must then refund without undue delay, at the latest by the end of the following business day after notification. A casino deposit you initiated yourself is authorised, so Section 675u BGB does not apply.
