Hey there.
I'll try to respond to your questions properly, but I'd like you to realize this is merely a forum, a place for communication, not a place for direct solutions, in this case.
But let's start from the top:
"Lets just have a little think here .. you have 5+ people from the UK that cannot withdraw and toting it up over £10k
I dont want to hear silly comments about how much time we need to give them."
I'm amazed at how many UK players keep playing in unregulated casinos, still, such information may serve others in this community who might prefer reading instead of writing. Thus, thanks for the summary.
Although, frankly, now I'm going to disappoint you, a possible solution indeed requires time, since the main tool for any solution is dialog, or rather, discussion, usually handled through complaints.
Which gets me to the key point:
Question 1
How do we get our money back?
Question 2
What are you doing about it? Suggest you give them to worst rating possible
Question 3
What are the next steps - you need to help get all our money back! I don’t even care about my winnings I just want my deposit back! £1,387 (winnings £2000)
The merit is the same for all 3 questions: Unless the complaint is closed, there are no consequences available. I'd say it makes sense. You see, getting your money is part of the complaint process, through which the Team investigates the casino's steps. At the end of this path lie both possible solutions or consequences. I bet you have not seen this article, have you?

How long?
"The time elapsed between submitting a complaint and the complaint being closed varies greatly. The complaints processed most quickly are those that can be resolved without getting the casino involved or those that are rejected because the casino has not done anything wrong. Other complaints, however, can be very time-consuming."
Consequences?
"If the complaint is justified and we are unable to resolve it, it is closed and categorized as being 'unresolved'. This happens when the casino either does not respond to us or refuses to do what we consider to be fair in that specific situation. You will not get your desired outcome but the complaint will be saved in our system, the casino will be punished with a lower rating from us and our review of the casino will warn other players of what happened. What's more, if the casino wants to improve its rating in the future, it will be forced to address the complaint, so there is a chance that your complaint will be resolved at a later date."
It may sound stupid to quote general guides here, but the answers and explanations are there, and because all our teams follow these guidelines, I can assure you that such information fits.
Next detail: Many players keep saying we must blacklist casinos. We do not do that. We prefer showing the full picture to every player who is wise enough to look for details. informing instead of hiding, if you like.
With all being said, I'm sorry you all have to go through this, but I'm also certain our specialists crave quick resolution for players. As I'm sure you can now understand, it only takes time and cooperation from the casino's side.
Nothing we can speed up here on the forum, hopefully this is now explained.
Let us concentrate on all those complaints that, depending on how they turn out, could result in a decrease in the casino's safety index. 🙏
