Case summary

2 weeks ago

The player from British Columbia struggled to get verified at BDM Bet Casino despite having already verified his ID, address, and payment methods. He provided numerous documents, including bank statements and proof of deposits, yet the casino continued to request information that was impossible to provide, while also ignoring his requests for escalation and complaints. He believed the casino was withholding his funds through these verification tactics. The issue was resolved when the casino confirmed that the player's account was verified and no further documents were needed, although the casino later decided to close the account. The original verification problem was resolved, and no funds were confiscated.

Hello


I've been struggling to get verified at BDM Bet Casino for a long time now, to the point where their requirements have essentially made it an impossible task.


To be clear - I have fully verified my ID, address, and payment methods, and have successfully completed the live verification. I have had successful deposits and withdrawals so they have tacitly aknowledged that I'm verified.


They started asking me for proof of deposit, which I have provided. To date I have provided


  • Screenshots from online banking
  • Bank statements showing all transactions to them
  • Confirmation of etransfers to their site from Gigadat
  • Proof of bank ownership documents


Every single time I upload anything to them, I get the same stock response saying the following


-the proof of deposit from 2024-10-01 08:06:37 (UTC 0) - has to have your name, transaction sum, receiver's name, transaction ID, time and date.


What they've asked for is an impossible requirement, because BMO do not lay all this information out in this fashion on my bank statements, and as a customer of the bank this isn't something that I can change.


In lieu of this, I have provided all of the above, and have asked several times for an escalation to someone who can piece my documents together. I even offered to take a screenvid logging into my bank, navigating through my personal details and the transactions, but they have refused to engage with me.


I have also asked on more than one occasion to make a complaint, and each time they have ignored this request and made the same stock request, completely disregarding the level of detail I've provided.


I did receive an email on Oct 16th telling me I was verified, but they quickly went back on this and emailed me the next day asking for the same information as above.


In the last couple of days, they have now morphed this into a 'SOW' request on their emails. I duly provided my August, September and October statements but they've refused these too, so I'm at my wits end.


It is clearly obvious that they're seeking to withhold my funds and are using document requests to do it. I've given them absolutely everything they could ever need, but they refuse to piece it together and refuse to engage with me properly, so I feel I've got no option but to raise a dispute. I found BDM Bet Casino on casinoguru and joined because they were so highly rated, so if you could help me get through to someone at the casino that would be really awesome.


Thank you for your time!

Dear martinleahy36,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.

Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.

  • Do I understand correctly that verifying the deposit receipt and source of wealth seem to be the only issue at the moment?
  • Has the casino approved the rest of your documents?

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

Best regards,

Kristina

Hi Kristina


My account was verified on the same day I opened it, and my first cashout was processed on that day, which was August 5th.


The only issue we had for over a month was just verifying my deposit. Initially I had to wait until around October 7th for my bank to issue my most recently statement - which had all the information they'd need on it. Once I got it, I sent it into them the same day and they continued to decline it.


It is only after sending numerous documents and proofs over the duration of October that suddenly this morphed into a request for 'SOW'. I had been stern with them and voiced my frustration and desire to create a complaint, and within days I was then being asked for these additional documents without my proof of deposit being approved yet.


It's quite clear to me that the second I told them their behaviour was clearly not fair play, that suddenly my account needs to undergo this additional verification. They've been putting hurdles in my way and intentionally not engaging or answering my questions in a clear pattern to try and avoid paying my winnings.


Despite this, I still gave them my last three months statements but they didn't even bother to look through them, they just rejected them and asked for the same documents again.


I have responded to your email too.


Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply, martinleahy36. That sounds very frustrating. Before contacting the casino, could you please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru? Alternatively, you can post it here. Thank you in advance.

Hello


I have been communicating via email over the last few days, but to be honest I'm not comfortable with how it's being handled, behind closed doors. Just so that it's out in the open and clear to anybody else reading:


  • I verified myself and had had cashouts paid.
  • I've then verified a particular series of deposits
  • This was suddenly not enough and now a source of wealth check is apparently required (only after I asked to make a complaint, a request which was ignored).
  • I provided 3 months statements the same day they were requested
  • Suddenly three months statements is not enough, now 4 months statements are needed


It's should be obvious to any observer at this point that they've made their decision first (not to pay me), and now they're going to keep dragging out these document requests until they find anything that they can point to in their terms as a violation, so they can refuse to pay out my withdrawal.


Nontheless I did provide the last few months statements two days ago and didn't hear back.


The reality is I've given them everything they've asked for. So my question to BDM Bet is - why is my money not paid yet?


For Kristina, there isn't really anything to forward / anything I can put together in a cohesive message beyond what I've said in my initial complaint and in this message. They ask for a document, I upload it, I get a lazy copy/pasted message back from them saying to upload the same document again. They aren't dealing in good faith.


I would like to keep any further engagement about my complaint here, in public, please.

Hello. They appear to have restricted my login access so there is now no way for me to upload it. I also strangely got an email saying I was now fully verified, but that's the third email like htat that I have received when it wasn't the case.


I would also like to add that I provided the last four months statements including all of September and October, so that specific deposit that they are looking for is on my statement. Sometimes if you deposit out of hours. on the holidays or over a weekend, BMO will put the transaction on a different date. This was the basis for the initial confusion at BDM Casino over my initial proof of deposit, and it took a lot of work for me to get someone to see that on their side.


That was to verified a different deposit though, also for $1500. The thing is - I have never changed my payment method. So if they've verified one deposit and have my last 4 months bank statements, then they have verified all my deposits so I don't see what the remaining issue is?

Hello!


We would like to clarify the situation regarding the player’s account. On November 7th, the player contacted us from a different email address requesting a change of email for their account.


As a security measure and to ensure the rightful owner was making the request, we requested a selfie with the player’s ID and the current date. The player complied and provided the requested document (we can share the second selfie with the date with the manager for review).


Based on this verification, we assisted the player in resetting the password and updating the account email. Following this, there were some changes made to the account using the newly updated email.


We hope this clears up any confusion, and we are happy to provide further evidence to support the steps taken if necessary. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns.

Hi guys


I'm starting to worry that I'm losing it if I'm honest. I remember sending the selfies, they're still on my computer but I didn't think I was doing this to change my email. Can you share privately with me what email address I've changed the account to?


I'm also still getting emails to my original email address too, I got one today from a VIP manager which doesn't make any sense.


Failing that can you reset this to my original email please?
