Please note that where customers make repeated deposits and withdrawals without commensurate play, we reserve the right to pass these charges on to the customer's account without prior notice.
Customers who have deposited with a MasterCard will be asked to provide details of a bank account that we can send their withdrawal back to, as we cannot refund MasterCards directly.
Where a withdrawal request exceeds the maximum amount for a payment method, the withdrawal will be split into two smaller amounts to accommodate the maximum withdrawal amount.

I was disconnected in the middle of a game – what do I do?

How long will my withdrawal take?
The length of time a withdrawal will take to reach you depends on the payment method used.
Please note that NO payout can be processed until a member is fully Identity verified. If a member cannot be verified, messages and emails will be sent at the time of deposit indicating what needs to be supplied.

To do this, click on ‘My Account', and click ‘Cancel Withdrawal' within the ‘Cashier'.

Can I withdraw to a different payment method?
All withdrawal requests will be sent back to the last payment method that you used to deposit with.

The dormancy fee will continue to be charged either until the account balance has been reduced to zero, or your account is reactivated by you placing a bet. We will not take any additional funds from any registered payment methods, as this only applies to funds within your GalaCasino.com balance.
If you have any questions relating to dormancy fees, please contact our Customer Service team via any of the options on this page.
