Withdrawals from a User’s Account can only be addressed strictly to the person registered on the account and as per the conditions specified on the Website.
Withdrawals can only be paid-out to the same account and payment method from which player's deposits have originated. By following this “closed loop” policy (ensuring that payouts are made back to the same method as the inbound funds originated) HotSlots complies with “The Fourth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive.” However, there are some occasions where this closed loop system is impossible to enforce. Whilst ensuring compliance with the “The Fourth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive,” HotSlots is also obligated to ensure our Clients’ needs are served. Furthermore, sometimes technical and /or policy reasons beyond our control mean that payouts cannot be made in this fashion.In these cases HotSlots go to all required lengths and beyond to verify that the alternative account is owned by the individual player. Our risk department runs a full assessment of the case. The risk department of HotSlots makes the final decision as to whether a payment outside of a “closed loop” payment will be performed or not.
Winnings from a No Deposit Bonus can be withdrawn to the player's bank account only after verification of the player being the beneficiary owner of the given bank account. Should a bank transfer be unavailable, we reserve the right to verify an alternative payment method owned by the player. However, our Payments department will run a full assessment of the case and make the final decision as to whether the payment method can be used.
Once a withdrawal request is submitted it can take HotSlots up to 3 business days to process the request. However, HotSlots will be doing its best to process withdrawal requests immediately.
Funds cannot be withdrawn from one’s account unless the same funds have been wagered at least once. Staking bets on table games with minimal loss expectancy (opposite betting) will not be considered as valid in fulfilling wagering requirements. Please be informed that ten percent (10%) administrative charge, with a minimum fee of ten Euro (€/$10) (or equivalent in another currency at daily rate) from the last deposit may be applied for payout requests referring to amounts deposited with HotSlots which have not been used at least once for playing casino games. Before such payout can be approved, it has to be assessed and confirmed by the Risk Department.
At least one real money deposit must be made and wagered before the first withdrawal can be processed.
