Betclic Casino IT - Player's KYC verification challenges.

The casino won't allow me to complete the KYC verification to withdraw my money. They have asked me for my birth certificate, which I have no clue about and costs money to obtain. I feel like I'm being held to ransom. To withdraw, I need to spend an entire day at the local council and pay from my own pocket. What's more, the birth certificate is a document I've never heard of before, and it wasn't even required when I enrolled in university. And now I should hand it over to these scoundrels to withdraw after I have already sent them a selfie of mine? THIS IS ABSURD.

Dear giuli899,

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.

• Could you please list which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one?
• Have you received any confirmation about your documents being accepted or rejected?
• Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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,

Tomas

I provided a banking pdf from my bank with my name and data and identity card and also a selfie of me with my identity card, they want to force me to go to the municipality one morning and pay out of my own pocket, hoping that I would prefer to play them again

Thanks for the update, giuli899.
