Case summary

2 years ago

The player from Belarus is experiencing difficulties withdrawing their winnings due to ongoing verification. The casino explained that due to the current regulatory framework, they were unable to provide any further information on the case. It was therefore recommended that the player contact the alternate dispute resolution service listed by the casino. The player contacted them so this complaint has been temporarily closed while we wait for their decision. We were later informed by the Licensing Authority of the casino that the player's account would be reopened when regulations allowed. Based on this information, the complaint was eventually rejected.

Dear Sir/Madam! I am writing to complain about a problem with Blackjack Ballroom Casino. The casino is refusing to pay out my funds citing the current regulatory environment.

On April 29, I sent a claim to the casino, also asked for clarification regarding the reason for the refusal to pay out my 6405 USD, but my claim remained unanswered.

During verification, I provided the casino with a passport photo as proof of identity and provided a photo of a utility bill as proof of address. On April 04, Blackjack Ballroom Casino announced that the documents had been accepted. Also on April 04, documents were sent in accordance with the request: a statement of the Skrill payment wallet, a screenshot of my Skrill profile, a screenshot of the last deposit at Blackjack Ballroom Casino.

All requirements of Blackjack Ballroom Casino have been properly executed.

I don't understand what the current regulatory environment of Blackjack Ballroom Casino is referring to? And what does the regulatory environment have to do with my withdrawal?

I certify that all information provided by me is true and accurate.

I ask you to help me get my 6405 USD.

Dear Anton666,

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 takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.

Have you been informed what specifically seems to be a problem in verifying your account?


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,

Petronela

Good afternoon! I take KYC seriously, there was no frivolity on my part.

The casino indicated only the current regulatory framework as the basis for blocking and denial of withdrawal processing 6405 !!! US dollars. I did not receive any other information from the casino.

I beg you to help me get my money.

Dear Anton666,


The casino has stated that due to the "current regulatory framework" your account has been blocked and that it is due to the same regulations that they are currently unable to provide any further information.


As such, there is not much that we can achieve and I recommend that you contact the casino's Licensing Authority and submit a complaint to them (complaints@gamingcommission.ca).


Please let me know when you have done so.


Kind regards,

Adam

Dear THE GURU! The casino website states that the Blackjack Ballroom casino is accredited by eCOGRA. I intend to apply to both eCOGRA and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. I will notify you of the outcome of my complaint by these organizations.

Hello Anton666,


The casino were not aware of any reference number being needed to contact eCOGRA, I have had a look at the dispute form and it seems that you can just put 'unknown' in the reference number field and you will be able to submit your complaint. Please let me know when you have done so, or if you experience any further issues.


Kind regards,

Adam
