Hi Peter,
Thanks for reaching out. I’ve reviewed the entire case involving the player ThrowerD and want to clarify what happened from our side.
The player’s account was flagged by our internal security system, which meant we had to perform an additional verification check. On April 22, we sent an email asking the player to submit a selfie while holding their ID in their left hand, and a handwritten note that read "Bulletz + today’s date" in their right hand. This is a standard security procedure we use when something gets flagged during our review. Unfortunately, the player didn’t respond to that message. We followed up with a reminder on April 25, but again, there was no reply. By April 27, with no communication received, we proceeded to close the account and void the winnings due to the incomplete verification process.
On the same day the account was closed, we sent an email asking the player to provide their IBAN so we could return their initial deposit. That email was also ignored. We sent a reminder on April 28 and another one on April 30, but still didn’t hear back. Eventually, on May 3, we closed the case due to inactivity.
Then, on May 12 - over two weeks after our initial request and more than a week after the account had been closed - we received the selfie that was originally requested. Unfortunately, at that point the case had already been closed, and the delay in response meant the verification process had failed.
I completely understand that this situation is frustrating from the player’s point of view. However, our Terms & Conditions clearly state that during ongoing security checks, we may restrict withdrawals or access to the account (section 5.3), and that if we are unable to fully verify a player’s identity and there are reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, we are allowed to void winnings and block the account (section 13.8). Since we received no communication or documents within a reasonable timeframe, the decision was made in line with those policies.
That said, we’re absolutely willing to return the player’s initial deposit. We’ve already reached out several times asking for their IBAN, and we’re still happy to process the refund as soon as they contact us and provide the necessary details. We can also provide the full record of our communication attempts, if needed, to support our case.
Let me know if you need anything else from our end.
Best regards,
Darja
