Case summary
11 months ago
An Estonian player had struggled with the verification process after wagering a free welcome bonus. Despite having submitted the required documents, the casino had responded that there was a mismatch and stopped replying to the player's emails. The player was then unable to log in. The casino had claimed that the player had registered from Norway, but had provided Estonian documents, which was against their terms and conditions as Estonian players were not allowed to play for real money. The casino had requested additional documents to verify the player's Norwegian address. However, the documents provided didn't match the account information and were of insufficient quality. As a result, the player's verification had been unsuccessful, and the casino upheld its decision to deactivate the account.

Wagered free welcome bonus, submitted docs for identification and a pic with ID and after a week they said it's a mismatch or smt like that. Emails ignored. They probably don't pay users from their reg bonuses and I think that they just stole my personal info. How can this casino have safety index of 8 if almost all player reviews are negative. The complaint is here to prove this casino does not pay you from registration bonus and blocks login after you attempt to withdraw!
Mismatch of profile..I only had a name in profile and they only asked ID which was 100% exact match.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with BonusBlitz 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?
Would it be possible to forward the exact same documents to nikolas.b@casino.guru for further review?
Looking forward to your answer.

Can you please clarify if the player provided any documents to verify their address in Norway? What specific Estonian documents did the player send to verify their account?
Thank you.

Dear BonusBlitz Casino,
Can you please clarify if the player provided any documents to verify their address in Norway? What specific Estonian documents did the player send to verify their account?
I would like to clarify that at the time I was playing I was probably in Norway since I work there. Bonusblitz is also accessible in Estonia... No georestrictions.
First of all, bonusblitz casino did not ask me anything other than ID. I would have been able to send them all required documents if I was asked.
Second, they should really take a second look to their free bonus system & terms. Almost all complaints here are related to same thing.
"c. "Here is the list of nations where making real money bets is prohibited is as follows.:"
Since it was free welcome bonus, it was not technically "real money bets". Wagered with bonus money and never made any real money bets after "real money" was credited. So this does not even apply. Totally entitled to it even if I am at Zimbabwe.

The player provided an Estonian ID to confirm his identity.
Given that players from Estonia are not allowed to play for real-money wagers, the account was restricted from further play. Bonus play counts as Real money wagering given that Real money withdrawals can be made from bonus winnings.
Nonetheless, we fully understand your point Tomas, and we would like to take this occasion to invite syrrreal to provide the following:
A copy of a utility bill, or a bank statement, no older than 3 months, that confirms that his living address is Norway;
If provided, we will be able to restore the player's account.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear BonusBlitz Casino,
Thank you for taking our opinion into consideration. Can you please confirm if you have received the documents from the player and update us once the verification is completed?
Unfortunately, the player was not successfully verified due to the fact that the information on document provided did not match the information on the account and was of insufficient quality.
Our Fraud & Risk Team reviewed the document and was unfortunately unable to approve it given that the address listed, once they were actually able to confirm what is written, did not match the address on the player's account. The document also does not confirm in any way that the player resides in Norway as there is no official mark on the document provided. Additionally, the photo of the document is of insufficient quality therefore clear confirmation of any information is not possible.
Tomas, please let us know if you wish for us to send you a copy of the document we received to your personal e-mail address. And if so, please provide us with your e-mail address.
Thank you for your understanding.

Seems to me that even if I am allowed to place bets from Norway I am excluded from free welcome bonuses if I'm from Estonia so great to know after all that, you just could have told me....or sent me the terms, so far I read that: T&C 4.1 b Gambling and online casino gaming must be permitted in the country in which you currently reside for you to be eligible to participate. You asked for utility bill and and I only occasionally work in Norway I do not live there and neither have I ever suggested that. But since there are so many misconceptions in terms:
7.1. Rules for General Bonuses and Promotions
ad. Players from Estonia, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Russia, Uzbekistan, Poland, Moldova, Tajikistan, Netherlands, and Netherlands Antilles are not permitted to claim or withdraw the same WELCOME BONUSES, FREE MONEY NO DEPOSIT BONUSES, or MATCH BONUSES.
Total waste of time, should have passed the promo email.
Support can close this case.

I have been given evidence that supports the casino's decision. Regrettably, we have to reject this complaint as unjustified because the casino did not receive enough documentation to comply with its KYC requirements.
The casino acted in accordance with its terms and conditions.
We apologize for not being able to assist you with this matter. However, please feel free to reach out to us in the future if you encounter any issues with any other casino. We are here to help.
Thank you, BonusBlitz Casino, for providing the information and cooperating.
