Dear Veronika,
Thank you for taking my case. Here are the clear answers to your questions:
1. What payment method did you use to deposit funds? I deposited via instant bank transfer (Brite).
2. Have you made any successful withdrawals from this casino in the past? I am an old, returning customer who opened the account years ago. While I cannot check the history from that far back right now, I am fairly certain I have successfully withdrawn from this casino in the past.
3. Apart from your driving licence, have you submitted any other documents? When they first asked for verification now, I initially submitted a picture of my valid passport. They rejected it, stating it was not the exact same document I had uploaded when I originally created the account years ago. Because of this mismatch, I then provided my valid Driving Licence instead, which their verification department manually accepted and explicitly approved. I provided everything they asked for.
4. Have you contacted the casino and explained that you were physically located in Italy and did not use a VPN? Yes, absolutely. I sent a detailed email to their support and management explaining the exact timeline, and explicitly stated that my IP change was due to a normal holiday trip to Italy, and that I never used any VPN or location-masking software. Despite this, their customer support completely ignored my facts and just copy-pasted a template saying "our decision is final".
5. While you were on vacation in Italy, did you play any games or claim any bonuses at the casino? Yes. After my big win in Finland (and after my initial withdrawal request was put on hold for the KYC check), I travelled to Italy. While in Italy, I placed a single €100 sports bet with my raw cash balance. I did NOT claim or use any bonuses at any point (not in Finland, and not in Italy). All my gameplay was with 100% real cash.
Thank you for your help. The casino is trying to use my holiday travel as a loophole to confiscate my legitimate winnings, even though they already fully verified my identity. Let me know if you need any more screenshots.
Best regards, N. M.
