Hi I joined this casino and after making a deposit of 10 euros I won 600 (euros), after sending all the documents that were accepted they unfairly closed my account with no possibility of reopening and with withdrawals in course that I will not be paid.

Dear LEOROSSETTI9,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Do I understand correctly that you have passed the KYC verification?

Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?

Have you received any explanation from the casino regarding this situation? Please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hi Kristina I send you the screenshot of the email that was sent to me by 5gringo, the KYC verification has not passed after a month I have sent the documents over and over again I also have all the screenshots of the chats I had with 5gringo support to understand the situation and why it took them so long to verify, the winnings I have accumulated were won with deposits and not with bonuses, I hope to resolve the situation because it seems very unfair and surreal. file

Now I would like to invite a 5Gringos Casino representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.


Dear 5Gringos Casino,


Could you please state why the player's withdrawal has not yet been paid out and when he can expect the payment?

Good evening, I am attaching the screens of the withdrawals in progress that have never been paid (for not having passed the KYC verification I assume) and some screens of the chats we had with support 5 filefilefile

Dear LEOROSSETTI9,


I was contacted by the casino representative that your account was funded by a 3rd party card.


The following activities are strictly prohibited and will be considered a material breach of these General Terms and Conditions:

- engaging in any fraudulent activities, including, without limitation, using any credit/debit cards or other payment methods or funds not belonging to you, cases where funds are recalled/disputed;


Have you used a third-party card to fund your casino gaming account?


I am looking forward to your response.


Kind regards,

Stefan

Good evening, yes, I used a card in the name of a third party, obviously with the consent of the cardholder who also provided me with the contract in his name so that I could send it to the representatives of 5gringo.

If the problem is that the credit card must be in my name, I can easily send my IBAN code with my card or alternatively all the documents of the holder of the debit card used to fund the account to make sure it is not a fraud. important thing is that I get paid the winnings.

However, I wanted to tell you why 5gringos didn't ask these questions before the deposit, instead they did after a withdrawal in progress.

Thanks in advance, I hope the situation is resolved as soon as possible

Best regards

Dear LEOROSSETTI9,


I have checked the terms and conditions, and I have found this, as mentioned above:


The following activities are strictly prohibited and will be considered a material breach of these General Terms and Conditions:

- engaging in any fraudulent activities, including, without limitation, using any credit/debit cards or other payment methods or funds not belonging to you, cases where funds are recalled/disputed;


Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-players:

"Payments

For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations."

 

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only.

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you. 

I wish I could be of more help. I’m sorry we couldn’t help you to resolve this case, but please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with any other casino in the future. For the abovementioned reasons, I will now reject this complaint. I appreciate your understanding. 


Kind regards,

Stefan
