Case summary

1 week ago

The player from Germany was unable to withdraw winnings after depositing around €600 in cryptocurrency because the casino required extensive KYC documentation. Despite having provided ID, address proof, and bank statements, the casino then asked for shareholder agreements, which the player could not provide due to confidentiality. The issue was resolved after the player successfully submitted a bank statement and a letter from the managing director confirming the dividend payment. The casino acknowledged the resolution, and the player received the funds.

I deposited around €600 in the casino using cryptocurrency. Later, when I tried to withdraw my winnings, I was asked to complete KYC.


I uploaded images of my ID card, an address proof, and a picture of my wallet as proof of payment.


After that, they asked for a bank statement showing my income. Since I am currently not employed and live off my savings and my company’s profit distributions, I sent bank statements from one of my accounts where I transfer money from my savings each month. All expenses were redacted.


They did not accept this. They asked for a payslip. I explained again that I do not have a payslip because I do not receive one. I then sent statements from another account where my company’s profit shares are paid, completely unredacted.


Now they want shareholder agreements to prove that the money truly belongs to me. I do not want and cannot do this because I am only a business partner, and my partners would never agree to me sending confidential documents to a casino. It is simply none of their business.


I explained to the support team that I am currently not employed. Why should I have to completely expose myself just to have a bit of fun in a casino? This is unreasonable.

Hello svenvolkel375,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Bizzo Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise since when exactly is the verification process ongoing? Which documents have been already approved and which ones not? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Please note that the verification process may take up to 14 days after sending in all the requested documents.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

I uploaded the first documents on June 25th when I registered. On July 22nd I uploaded proof of my crypto wallet, 2 days after I deposited money. This proof was rejected because it was irrelevant.

I also received the first email on July 22nd, asking me to send a bank statement. On July 24th, I sent the first statements. All expenses were blacked out on the statement, but all deposits were not. These statements showed my payments from my savings. These were rejected. On July 26th, I sent statements from my account, where my profits from a company investment are transferred, this time completely unblacked out.

On July 29, I received an email asking me to disclose contracts that regulate the payout of profit shares and bank statements from the company where the payments are made to me.


I haven't responded since July 29th.

Hello svenvolkel375,

Isn't there any document which would prove that you are a shareholder and the income comes from that, without any other parties to be involved?

Public
Public

Translation

There is a partnership agreement in which all partners and their shares are listed. This agreement contains nothing other than my share in percentage terms. The fact that payments are made is also not mentioned in a partnership agreement. Such things are normally accounted for internally in the company via the balance sheet.


The name of the company and the names of the shareholders are nobody's business. This is my private pleasure. I don't want this data to end up on the Internet at some point and then it will be said that person XY from company Z is playing in online casinos.


These are internal company documents that I am not allowed to publish and will not publish without the consent of the other shareholders.


If I publish the document, what happens next? Should I send my tax return so the casino can check that I am paying my taxes?

Hello svenvolkel375,

Actually it would not be a bad idea. Many casinos ask tax return documents as a proof for income and it is a common requirement in almost every casino.

Would it be possible to forward the communication between you and the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru before we would try to get in touch with them?

I will definitely not publish my tax return. Do you actually know what you are asking me to do? I should strip completely naked? I should disclose all my assets just for a profit of €400?


I brought two proofs of my income. How many do I need for them to believe me?


Regarding the redirect: If it helps solve the problem, why not.

Hello, svenvolkel375,

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. However, it is common for online casinos to accept funds from personal accounts, which have to be fully verified, and there are many casinos which require proof of income - funds deposited to the casino. If they have doubts about the origin of the deposited funds (which may get them into big trouble if there is a suspicion about the legality of deposited funds), how would you please imagine proving the source of funds you deposited to the casino? Since we are not talking about an "anonymous" casino, they have the right to ask you for additional documents upon KYC/verification, so it is understandable that if they need to verify the source of funds, there are not many ways how to do it. As it is nothing special or unusual, I would say it was necessary to think about it earlier than making deposits this way, or at least to ask the casino customer support about it.

Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.


Dear Bizzo Casino team,

Could you please look into the player's issue and provide us with possible solutions if he would not like to disclose the very sensitive documents/details he referred to above? Is there any option to do it in a way that he would not have to provide complete information about other persons/a company, which is basically unimportant for the casino and the deposits he made to the casino? Since we are not talking about a significant or high amount he deposited, would it be possible to somehow "simplify" it?

Hello!


Let us explain the current situation. A player was suspected of misusing bonuses. He has provided us with POW, SOF, and selfies. However, since the 29th of July, we have been waiting for additional confirmation that he is receiving dividends and signed agreements for his share in the company. Unfortunately, he has refused to provide these documents and said he has filed a complaint with CasinoGuru.


As soon as we receive all the necessary confirmations and documents proving that the funds are clean, we will promptly resolve his situation.


Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I was not suspected of abusing any bonuses. I never received any notification about it. After I had fulfilled all the bonus conditions, I requested a withdrawal as normal. I was already verified.


Bizzo Casino just kept wanting new documents or didn't accept the ones that were sent. I don't know why it's so hard to accept that there are people who are private individuals and just live off their savings.


But apparently I can send whatever I want and it won't be accepted. I've sent several statements. How transparent should I be? You don't need to tell me that this is about money laundering. The casino is just hoping that they don't have to pay.

Dear Bizzo Casino Team,

Thank you for your response and explanation.

However, if he provided POW and SOF, why would the casino need additional confirmation that he is receiving dividends and signed agreements for his share in the company?

Thank you for the additional information, Bizzo Casino Team.

However, if the user is not allowed to share such document, he could breach the document's/contract's conditions by providing it to a 3rd party. As I asked more than 2 weeks ago - Is there any option to do it in a way that he would not have to provide complete information about other persons, which is basically unimportant for the casino and the deposits he made to the casino?

Would the casino be able to accept a document if some unimportant parts (sensitive details regarding other persons) are covered/hidden?

Of course, I understand that the user's complete name/surname/other personal details, the company details, and the subject/content of the document should be clearly shown there.

Hello!


We strictly comply with international anti-money laundering regulations and expect the player to provide all necessary documents to confirm the legality of his actions. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept documents with covered/hidden data, as this will make it difficult to verify and make it impossible to ensure that the scheme does not involve other individuals or shareholders acting in concert with the player.


Our platform adheres to the principles of fair play and transparency. We believe that compliance with these rules helps to protect the interests of all participants and maintain confidence in the system. We are always ready to help and provide all the necessary support to make the verification process as fast and convenient for the player as possible.


Thank you for your understanding and co-operation!

Alright, thank you for the additional clarification.


Dear svenvolkel375,

The casino also has to comply with laws and regulations and is subject to GDPR, etc., they are basically not allowed to share any players' documents with anyone or any 3rd party, because they would be breaking the law. Are you please able to simply provide them with the requested?

As was indicated earlier, users are obliged to prove the source of the income or the deposited money. So, if you used your savings for deposits, I cannot see any other option on how to prove the legality of the deposited funds and complete the KYC than to provide the casino with the requested.

To date, Bizzo Casino has not made it clear what kind of documents they want. I cannot and will not send any internal business documents.

I want to have a clear statement about what type of document I should send.

Hello!

Several documents can be used to confirm receipt of dividends due to ownership of a share in a company:


An extract from the register of shareholders or members of the company. This document confirms that the player owns a share in the company or shares.


A resolution of the general meeting of participants or shareholders on the payment of dividends. The minutes of the meeting can serve as proof that the player is entitled to receive dividends.


Documents confirming the actual payment of dividends:


Bank account statement. If the dividends were transferred to the player's bank account, the bank statement will be a document confirming the fact of receiving dividends.


Tax return. The tax return may show that the player received dividend income and, if it is taxable, will also reflect the withholding of the relevant tax.


Please provide the necessary documents to resolve this situation. We look forward to receiving them so that we can help you as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!

From which dividends? I have both my company shares and my stock dividends.

Also, I still don't know if I have to send all these documents or if one is enough.


There are no minutes of any general meeting. This is a limited liability company and not a stock corporation. I will not send a tax return either, as it is none of anyone's business and is also from last year and in my opinion has no significance anyway.


So the only thing left is the bank statement. And it's still not clear whether I should send a bank statement from me (which I've already sent) or from the company.

Dear svenvolkel375!

As mentioned by our support team, to further process your enquiry we will need proof that you have received dividends from the company. 

Please provide copies of relevant documents such as dividend statements or contractual agreements. Any documents that can indicate that you have received funds will also be suitable. 

This information is necessary to complete the audit. Thank you for your co-operation!

Dear svenvolkel375,

Can you please contact the casino's support and try to solve it with them directly?

I am not sure about hiding any details from bank statements but from our experience, online casinos do not like edited documents, and it is industry standard that they accept only original/unedited documents. Since they are bound by the Privacy Policy and other regulations regarding the data sharing policy, I would simply provide the casino with the original unedited documents showing from where the funds deposited to the casino came to your account. They basically do not care about anything else besides transactions related to the casino itself (unless you do not have any other account(s) at the casino and your documents could link them, which I sincerely hope is not the case here).

Feel free to inform us about any progress.

Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

We are going around in circles.


I understand that I am not allowed to send any of my personal bank statements with redacted information. I want to know whether the bank statement of the company that pays me the dividends, which has absolutely nothing to do with this case, has to send completely unredacted bank statements or whether only the one dividend payment has to be visible.


Again: I will not publish any internal company documents. This includes bank statements with customer bookings, which cannot be sent in Germany for data protection reasons.


Why can't anyone give me an answer to this simple question?

Dear svenvolkel375,

I am sorry for the delay.

So try to simply provide them with the requested document but with the parts in question hidden/covered up, and wait for their decision whether it can be accepted or not.

Feel free to let us know once you try it and receive a response from the casino regarding the provided document(s).


Dear Bizzo Casino Team,

Although you mentioned that you are not in the process of accepting documents, in the screenshot from the complainant, you can see that the casino's Customer Support did not help him much nor answer his clear questions sufficiently. Therefore, since in this complaint resolution process you are the one who represents the casino, you should be able to connect with the responsible casino team and find out this information for the player.

Can you please contact the relevant casino team and provide the user with a clear answer to his question regarding the company's document and hiding sensitive details in it? Would the casino be able to accept such a document if there is let's say the company's name/details and only the payment(s)/dividend(s) paid to the user's payment method visible in the document?

It would be highly appreciated if we have clear answers and could finally move somewhere forward here.

Thank you.

@Branislav


There is always a different name. Rachel, Dag, Nathan, Malcom, etc.


BizzoCasino just doesn't want to pay out. They wanted proof that the dividends were being paid out and I sent a bank statement from the company's account. Now there has to be an additional letter confirming the bank statement. This is totally ridiculous. Next I may have to have the letter certified.


In Germany, it is completely normal to be able to cash out a portion of the profits from a GmbH. There are no contracts for this. There is a partnership agreement and that's it. Everything else is handled internally. What BizzoCasino is doing here is totally ridiculous. This has nothing to do with money laundering prevention.

Thank you, svenvolkel375. And, were you in contact with the casino via Live Chat or email, or in another way?

Another question - would you be able to provide the casino with a partnership agreement, however, also with some "sensitive" parts covered up/hidden?


Dear Bizzo Casino Team,

We have been spinning in a circle here since the end of August. Also, although the player claimed that he provided the casino with some documentation recently, you mentioned that the last time you received documents from the player was in July, which currently makes no sense.

Therefore, let's please do it a bit differently now.

Can you please provide us with a responsible contact (email address), to whom the player could send his documents?

Then, I will ask the player to send everything necessary there, adding me to the CC of the email, and we will wait for an update from you or the receiving email address.

Also, it would be great if you could somehow explain why the casino needs a signed agreement for his share in the company and/or how to solve it if he is not allowed to share such a document with anyone. Alternatively, can the casino accept such a document if parts irrelevant to the casino would be covered up/hidden in the document? I think that in combination with the bank statement from the company's bank account, it could be alright and enough to verify his deposit(s) and/or the source of funds.

Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
