Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

The player from Finland had made a withdrawal request two weeks prior, which was initially approved after document verification but later denied due to the requirement for additional documents. Despite having asked the casino for guidance on where to send these documents, he had not received any further communication for over a week. The issue was investigated, and it was determined that the player's account was linked to multiple accounts with similar information, violating the casino's terms and conditions. Consequently, the complaint was rejected as unjustified, and the casino's actions were deemed appropriate in accordance with their policies.

I made my first withdrawal request on December 2, 2024. The casino chat informed me that the submitted documents were approved, allowing me to proceed with the withdrawal request. After making the request, a few days passed, and I received a message from the casino stating that my request was denied, and they needed additional documents. I asked via chat where I could send the necessary documents, and they said I would be contacted via email. Since then, I haven't heard anything from the casino for over a week.

At the moment I have only been asked for a photo of both sides of my driver's license, proof of residence and the certificate fee. I sent these and they have now been approved. I was told that my account is now verified and I can make a withdrawal request. After this I made a withdrawal request and three days later it was rejected. The last time I went to the chat they said that they would contact me by email when the matter has been resolved. Since then I have not heard anything from them for a week and a half.

Did you choose the same payment method for your withdrawal that you used to deposit money at this casino?

Please forward me all the communication between you and the casino customer support that could be relevant to the investigation of your case. My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.

I chose yes. The customer support contacts between me and the casino are not recorded anywhere so I cannot send them. The casino has also not contacted me for over 14 days regarding further confirmation, even though they promised to do so.

Thank you for your reply. Please send me a screenshot of your transaction history showing the problem with your withdrawals.

Also, have you tried contacting customer support via email to inquire about the status of their investigation?

Hello imbahimovic,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Casinoways to join the conversation.


Dear Casinoways, 

Can you please provide us with clarification as to what is causing the delay in the player's verification and the subsequent withdrawal process? It seems the player has already provided you with all the requested documents. If there are any factors that contributed to this delay that cannot be disclosed publicly, please feel free to send the information to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Hi, this customer has been asked to go thru the automatic verification process, this is automated upon his WD stage so if he initiate a new withdraw he shall just follow the given instructions, if this for some reason do not work the Support team can provide him a link in a chat as well.

I have done the necessary verifications. The documents were approved after which I was asked to make a withdrawal. After the withdrawal I was asked to send additional verifications but I was unable to send them anywhere. I went to the chat and your support team has said twice that they will contact me by email when the problem has been fixed and I can send the necessary documents.

Hi, There are as mentioned two ways of trigger the automated verification, either when you request a new withdrawal (a pop up should guide you thru the automated verification process) or if you jump on a chat and ask for the link to your automated verification process. Feel free to use whatever option suits you best.

Dear imbahimovic,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to follow up regarding the additional documents. Were you able to upload the additional documents? If so, has the verification process been successful?

Public
Public

I can't send additional documents. I went to customer service to ask about this link to the additional confirmation page but they couldn't help. So the pop-up window doesn't open when I cancel and make the withdrawal again. Same story again, " I just forwarded it to our friends, so it should be fixed as soon as possible. As soon as the problem is fixed, they will notify you by email ". I received this same message a month ago from customer service. I think it's outrageous that customer service lies over and over again. I've sent all the necessary documents and they've been approved, but still nothing is happening. filefile Last time they promised to contact me by email, but I never received any message.

Hi,


I have just now read thru your conversation this morning with our support team. Kindly make sure that you are allowing pop up windows in your browser as the automated verification is done thru one of them.


I also made sure that you have been sent a manual link for the verification process by email, kindly follow that link and complete verification.

Dear Casinoways Team,

Thank you for your cooperation. I trust the withdrawal will be processed smoothly from your side.

Just out of curiosity, I would like to know how I get this message? "Hello Mico,

Your withdrawal has been cancelled since you have not yet provided the documentation requested by the Verification team." Didn't I just make that additional verification and send a screenshot of it to this discussion? How long will this really go on?

Hi, That is an automated email that goes out when the withdrawal was cancelled on your account. You should have received an information email from our customer support team related to all the actions taken on your account. If you have further questions regarding that please reach out to them. From our end this case can be closed here.

Dear Casinoways Team,  

I recognize that successfully completing the verification process does not guarantee that the withdrawal will be processed if additional checks are still underway. However, I would be grateful if you could provide clarification regarding the recent cancellation of the player's withdrawal request.

It's not possible for you to close my account and reset my account balance, is it? I haven't broken any of the welcome bonus rules, so this nonsense has to stop. You've been keeping me waiting for 1.5 months now and sending me more and more documents just because you're closing my account?😂

If you read the email, there are all the proof and reasons why the account is closed and the funds are confiscated. From our end the case is closed here, if you as a customer wants further information i would suggest that you speak directly with out support team and they can assist.

Dear imbahimovic,  

Could you kindly provide the recent emails you received from the Casinoways Team concerning the purported rule violation you are said to have committed? You may either post it directly in the complaint thread or send it to my email at michal.k@casino.guru.

Dear imbahimovic,

Thank you for your email. According to the casino team, it appears that there have been several rule violations on your part. 

Could you please confirm whether you have registered only one account with CasinoWays? Additionally, do any of your family members or friends hold an account with Casinoways? If they do, have you possibly played or accessed the casino simultaneously from the same location, perhaps during a visit?

I would also appreciate it if you could specify which games you played while the bonus was active. Were there any games that the system automatically restricted? Was the game Super 7s normally available to you during the bonus period, or did you receive any notifications indicating that this game was not permitted to be played with an active bonus? Furthermore, were you informed that continuing to play this game could lead to the confiscation of your winnings?


Dear Casinoways Team,

Can you please forward me any evidence of the rule violations you have the player accused of at michal.k@casino.guru?

Could you kindly clarify whether the restricted games become automatically inaccessible at the software level when an active bonus is in use, or if players receive notifications regarding these restrictions through a pop-up message?

Thank you for the information and evidence provided, Casinoways Team.


Dear imbahimovic,

I have now gathered information and evidence from the casino team to understand the situation.

After analysing all relevant information and evidence, we must, unfortunately, reject this complaint as it is deemed unjustified. This conclusion arises from a violation of the casino's terms and conditions, as well as the bonus terms. Specifically, multiple accounts associated with your account that were created in relatively close succession with some matching personal information, have claimed the same bonuses and deposited the same or very similar amounts via the same payment method. Additionally, the gameplay patterns observed in those accounts were either the same or strikingly similar to yours. As you confirmed no one from your family has an account at Casinoways, all the abovementioned facts cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence. Casinos have a very strict policy regarding multiple account cases that have been used in this way, and the casino has acted according to its terms and conditions as was communicated to you by the casino team earlier.

I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Should you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.



Best regards,

Michal
