Category
Deposit and Bonus / Pending Deposit

General Information

Deposits are designed to be instantaneous in NeoSphere. However, in some cases, a deposit may enter a pending status instead of completing immediately.

Purpose / Objective

To guide agents in identifying and handling pending deposits, including determining when escalation is required.

Scenario / Use Case

A player contacts support stating their deposit is pending and has not been completed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Verify Deposit Status

• Confirm the deposit is pending in NeoSphere (not just on the player’s bank side)
• Check the transaction ID and timestamp

2. Ask Player About Bank Activity

If Funds Were Taken from Bank

• Treat as a Missing Deposit case
• Follow Missing Deposit protocol

If Funds Were NOT Taken from Bank

• Note this clearly in the case
• Proceed with Compliance action

3. Determine Timing

• If deposit has been pending for LESS than 1 hour:

  • Advise player to wait up to 1 hour for completion

• If deposit has been pending for OVER 1 hour:

  • Escalate to Compliance

4. Escalation Requirements

If escalation is needed:

• Request Compliance to decline the pending transaction
• Include:
  • Transaction ID
  • Date and time of deposit
  • Note confirming whether funds were withdrawn or not

5. Additional Player Guidance

• Advise the player:
  • Do not attempt another deposit until the pending one is resolved
• If funds are later withdrawn:
  • Player must provide bank statement
  • Then follow Missing Deposit protocol

Key Rules

• Only escalate if pending in NeoSphere over 1 hour
• Always verify bank status first
• Do not allow repeated deposit attempts while pending exists

Additional Information / Tips

• Pending deposits often resolve automatically within 1 hour
• Proper documentation ensures faster resolution
• Clear notes reduce duplicate escalations

Variations / Related Questions

Suggested Scripting

General Pending Deposit

“Our deposits are typically processed instantly, but sometimes they may remain pending briefly. Please allow up to one hour for the deposit to complete.”

Escalation (Over 1 Hour)

“Our accounting department will review and cancel your pending transaction as soon as possible. Please wait for the current pending deposit to be resolved before attempting another deposit. I apologize for any inconvenience.”

Suggested Case Logging Notes

• Player reported pending deposit → verified no funds withdrawn → escalated for decline
• Player reported pending deposit under 1 hour → advised to wait
• Player funds withdrawn → directed to Missing Deposit process
