Read the exact funding status
Pending, authorised, posted, completed and reversed are different states. Record the displayed label, amount and date rather than describing all of them as deducted.

Tell a Temporary Hold from a Posted Casino Payment
A card or wallet can reserve funds before the payment finishes. The entry may look like a charge but remain pending until it posts or disappears. The casino ledger and funding account therefore need separate status checks before a player assumes money was taken twice.
Open the current casino offerCompare the available and posted balance
An authorisation can reduce available funds without appearing as a final statement charge. The bank controls the release window if the payment fails.
Match the casino record
A completed casino deposit should have its own account reference. If the funding entry is pending and no casino record exists, wait for the documented processor or bank window before retrying.
Escalate after the stated window
Ask the casino about the deposit ledger and the bank about the hold. Give each party the reference it can trace; do not expose complete payment credentials.
What to keep
Record the bank label, available-balance effect, statement posting date, casino status and both reference numbers.
