Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Italy, who had used his partner's credit card for deposits at Cazimbo Casino, experienced account blocking when he attempted to withdraw winnings due to an account verification issue. He had provided the requested documentation but felt that the casino staff might not have been sufficiently qualified to address the problem. Upon reviewing the casino's terms and conditions, we found that the player had breached the rules by using a payment method not under his name. Despite extending the response time, the player failed to respond, leaving us unable to further investigate. As a result, the complaint was rejected.

I signed up with Cazimbo Casino a month ago...I made deposits through my partner's credit card (she was obviously aware)...however, when I wanted to withdraw my winnings, the casino began to ask for identity and bank account verification...I provided everything they asked for, surely they saw that the account is in my name while the bank account is in the name of my partner and they decided to block the account without giving me a chance to explain the problem...I've invested money in this casino and I want to get back my winnings...I doubt I'm the only person to encounter these issues...the staff should be ready and qualified to handle this kind of situations...when you make a deposit no one asks anything, however, when you have to withdraw, they do everything to prevent it, not to mention the endless waiting times...thank you

Dear adrianosnc92, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I have checked the terms and conditions, and this is what I found:

4.1 By opening an account on our Website and by using our Website you warrant that:

  • you are acting on your own behalf;
  • you are a competent and law-abiding citizen;
  • you do not have a gambling addiction, you don’t use the Website under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances;
  • all data and information that you have provided when registering at our Website is true and real and you will continue updating this information in case of any changes;
  • you fully understand and accept the fact that there is a possibility of monetary loss while using our services;
  • you are not using monetary funds that you have received in an illegal way or from illegal sources;
  • you have not entered into collusion and will not make an attempt to collude directly or indirectly with another customer of the Website;
  • the credit/debit card or any other payment method that you use to top up your account balance belongs to you, is not stolen, and has not been lost by another person. Company reserves the right to close your account and void any winnings in case of a reasonable suspicion that you have violated this warranty.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players

"For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations." 

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically it is very difficult to check who’s the owner of the payment method at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use allowed payment methods only. 

If you’re not able to prove that you are a legitimate owner of the payment method and you haven’t received approval from the casino allowing you to use a third-party payment method, I’m afraid there’s not much we can do for you. 

Thank you very much in advance for your reply and understanding. 

Best regards

Veronika
