I recently requested a payout from WH and a few days later I received the following email from them:

I have sent them what they asked for but I haven't received a reply for over a week now, despite sending several emails, calling their hotline number and even live chatting. All they say "we are still reviewing it".
Until now I trusted this bookie, but this unprofessional behaviour makes me suspect that something is wrong.
