Many players assume that once a withdrawal request is submitted, the money arrives immediately, but actually the screen shows “Pending” for a period of time, which is most often due to the casino’s internal review process.

Withdrawal Pending Longer Than Expected

You see “Pending” or “Processing” on your withdrawal request, and the status hasn’t changed for a while.

• Account verification (KYC) is incomplete or still under review.
• A bonus wagering requirement is not yet satisfied.
• The chosen withdrawal method has its own processing timeline.
• The request was made after the daily cut-off time for processing.
• An internal security check has been triggered.

1. Log into your account and check the withdrawal history to see the current status.
2. Go to the KYC section and confirm that all documents are uploaded and marked as “Approved”.
3. Review your bonus terms to make sure the wagering requirement is completed before withdrawing.
4. Check your cashier for any withdrawal method restrictions—some options may not be eligible with a bonus active.
5. Look for the daily cut-off time in the casino’s cashier section; if you submitted after that, expect the request to be processed the next business day.
6. If you see a red status flag or a message asking for additional information, provide whatever is requested without delay.
7. Check your email inbox and spam folder for messages from the casino regarding your withdrawal.
8. If you made multiple withdrawal requests, cancel duplicates and keep only one active.
9. Verify that your withdrawal amount does not exceed the current balance (including any pending bonuses).
10. Make sure you are withdrawing using a method that you previously used to deposit, if that is required.
11. Check that your account email address is confirmed; an unverified email can block withdrawals.
12. If the status has not changed after a full business day, take a screenshot of the pending request for your records.
13. Contact support and provide your account nickname and the withdrawal ID; mention that you have completed the checks above.

If the pending status persists beyond what the cashier states as the standard processing window, contact support with your account nickname and withdrawal ID.

Deposit or Withdrawal Declined Due to Limits

You attempt a transaction but the cashier shows an error message like “Transaction declined” or “Amount exceeds limit”.

• Your deposit or withdrawal amount is outside the casino’s minimum or maximum range.
• Your selected payment method has a separate limit from the casino’s overall limit.
• You have not used that payment method before, and it requires a minimum first deposit.
• A bonus attached to your account imposes a maximum withdrawal cap.
• Your account has a pending withdrawal that ties up funds, preventing a new transaction.

1. Open the cashier page at https://hothotfruit.web.za/ and note the exact minimum and maximum amounts listed for deposits and withdrawals.
2. Compare your intended transaction amount to those limits and adjust it if necessary.
3. If the error mentions a specific payment method, click on that method to see its own limits—they might differ from the casino’s.
4. Check whether you are trying to withdraw winnings from a bonus; if yes, look at the maximum withdrawal limit in the bonus terms.
5. Go to your transaction history and see if there is any pending withdrawal or deposit that must complete first.
6. Ensure your account balance after the transaction would not fall below any required minimum balance.
7. If you are depositing for the first time with a new method, start with an amount equal to the minimum shown for that method.
8. For withdrawals, check that you have at least the minimum amount available and that the requested amount is not more than your “Available to withdraw” balance.
9. Clear your browser cache or switch to a different browser, then try the transaction again.
10. If using a mobile browser, rotate to landscape mode or reload the page—some layout issues misdisplay limits.
11. Try removing any bonus from your account (if allowed) and then attempt the transaction again.
12. Contact support with the exact error message and the amount you tried to transact; ask them to confirm the applicable limits for your account.

If you still see the decline after trying these steps, contact support with the exact error message and the amount you attempted to transact.

Welcome Bonus or Free Spins Not Credited

You made a qualifying deposit but the bonus or free spins do not appear in your balance or bonus section.

• The bonus was not activated or claimed during the deposit process.
• The deposit amount is below the minimum required for the bonus.
• The bonus code was entered incorrectly or was omitted.
• The selected payment method is excluded from the offer.
• You already received a similar bonus in the past, and the offer is for new players only.

1. Go to the “My Bonuses” or “Promotions” section of your account and see if the offer is listed there unclaimed.
2. If you see a “Claim” button, click it to activate the bonus, then check your balance again.
3. Review the deposit you made—confirm that the amount equals or exceeds the minimum deposit stated in the promotion terms.
4. If the promotion requires a bonus code, double-check that you typed it correctly before the deposit completed.
5. Check the payment method you used; some promotions exclude e‑wallets or prepaid cards.
6. Log out of your account, clear your browser cache, log back in, and refresh the bonus page.
7. See if the offer has an expiry time; if you claimed it after the deadline, it will not trigger.
8. Look at the “Bonus History” tab to see if the bonus was declined automatically for any reason.
9. If you used a deposit method that charges a fee, the net deposit amount might have dropped below the minimum.
10. For free spins, check the specific game tab listed in the promotion—they might be pre‑loaded on that game only.
11. If you already canceled a bonus in the past, that bonus may not be re‑claimable.
12. Try making a small test deposit (if safe and within your budget) to see if a different bonus triggers.
13. Contact support with your deposit receipt and the exact name of the promotion you expected; ask them to manually award it.

If the bonus still does not appear after these steps, contact support with your deposit receipt and the exact name of the promotion you expected.

Identity Verification (KYC) Stuck or Documents Rejected

You uploaded your identification documents, but the status remains “Pending” or you receive a rejection message.

• The document photo is blurry, cropped, or has glare.
• The name on the document does not exactly match the name on your account.
• The document type is not accepted for your region (e.g., no driver’s license where only passport is accepted).
• The proof of address document is older than the allowed time period.
• The document shows a different address than what you registered.

1. Log into your account and go to the verification or KYC section to see the rejection reason, if any.
2. Take a new photo of your ID against a dark background, ensuring all four corners are visible and the text is readable.
3. Use a scanner or a scanning app instead of a camera for clearer results.
4. Check that the name on the document matches your account name exactly—including middle names.
5. For proof of address, use a utility bill, bank statement, or official letter dated within the allowed period (usually the last few months).
6. Make sure the address on the document matches the address you provided during registration.
7. If you changed your address after registration, upload a document that shows your new address instead.
8. Re‑upload the documents in the file format specified (JPEG or PDF) and ensure the file is under the size limit.
9. If your passport or driver license is rejected, try submitting a national ID card if you have one.
10. Remove any phone numbers or handwritten notes from the document image—it must look unaltered.
11. If the rejection reason says “expired”, use a current document; do not upload an expired one.
12. Contact support with the exact rejection message and ask them to specify which document failed—they may allow an alternative.

If you are still stuck after re‑uploading corrected documents, contact support with the rejection message and ask them to specify which document failed.

To prevent most of these problems, always double‑check your account name and address match your official documents before registering, and keep your ID and proof of address ready as clear scans.
