He Won $100K… But the Casino Says “Wait a Few Months”?

[Player101]

 

We all know that a casino might be legit, or it might be a scam,  it depends on many things like its license, reputation, and community. But this story caught my attention.
Yesterday I watched a YouTube video about someone who won 100K USD and requested a withdrawal. He then received a message from the casino’s customer support saying they wouldn’t be able to pay the full amount. They said they would start paying in batches of $10K each, but the first batch would be in a few months’ time.
Can this really happen? Has anyone here ever faced something like this?

Paying in instalments when you win a big amount isn't that unusual, but I'm not sure why they would wait a few months for the first instalment. Maybe stalling tactics?

Yeah, I think the same, if they really want to pay, they’ll do it right away.
