Hello lazeli,
Thank you for the update and for your email. Your frustration is understandable. Can I please ask, was this your first deposit at this casino?
Dear Beem Casino,
You have stated to the player:
"Unfortunately, we do not accept players from Russia, no matter
where and how long they live abroad, as you are a citizen of Russia."
I wonder if you might enlighten me as to how a person registering at Beem Casino is to know that they should be stating their country of citizenship as opposed to their current country of residence?
In the registration form, it merely states 'country', in the terms and conditions it states "users from the following countries are restricted."
It seems perfectly understandable that a player would assume that to refer to the country they are registering from.
It is normal for casinos to restrict certain countries of residence and they can check for this by looking at information such as the player's IP address. We think that the fairest way to do this is at the point of registration (see here: https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#restricted-countries).
If you are restricting countries based upon citizenship, surely this scenario could happen again very easily as you may only notice upon asking for verification at the point a withdrawal is requested?
We feel it is unfair to allow players from restricted countries to register and play.
