GameSpot Casino - Player's withdrawal is delayed.

Hello. I registered at this casino on April 21st. I took the deposit bonus, which wasn't sticky, won with my own money, cancelled the bonus, and withdrew $527. They eventually asked me for verification. I uploaded my passport and a selfie, and it was approved quickly, but I couldn't process the withdrawal because they were asking for verification. The chat is constantly out of touch. I emailed them, and they replied that verification wasn't complete and would require up to 14 days. I emailed them after 14 days, and they asked for a bank statement and said I'd have to wait another 14 days. 30 days have passed, and they're still telling me to wait, with no timeframe. It feels like they're simply delaying the payment. I'm asking the forum administration to help me expedite the entire process. Thank you very much in advance.

The player sent us the following email:

"I uploaded my passport and a selfie to my profile. They requested a bank statement, and I emailed them the statement because it wouldn't upload to my profile. I don't know whether the statement has been verified or not.

I contact the casino periodically, but they always give the same answer: "As we mentioned earlier, verifying your account takes additional time due to the need to conduct additional checks with the payment provider, taking into account your country of registration—the Russian Federation." This procedure is carried out in accordance with AML/CTF requirements and Section 24.5 of our Terms of Use.

Your request is still pending, and additional information will be provided once the verification process is complete."

Hello Senata,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Dear player,

My name is Barbora, and I will be assisting you in solving this case. Now I would like to invite GameSpot Casino representative to join this conversation.

Dear GameSpot Casino,

Could you please provide clarification regarding this case?

Thank you in advance.

We apologize that the verification process has taken longer than expected.

The review of your account is taking additional time due to the need for an extended verification in cooperation with our payment service provider, taking into account the country of registration — the Russian Federation. This procedure is carried out in accordance with AML/CTF requirements and Section 24.5 of our Terms and Conditions. Additionally, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Terms and Conditions, the Company is required to verify users against applicable sanctions lists.

Please be assured that the verification process is still ongoing. Further information will be provided once the review has been completed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Game Spot Team

I understand everything, that it’s an inspection, etc. But 2 MONTHS have passed!!!!!!

Dear GameSpot Casino Team,

Thank you for your response.

We understand that enhanced AML/CTF and sanctions checks may require additional time. However, the review has now been ongoing for nearly two months, despite the player having submitted the requested documents.

Could you please confirm whether any additional information or documents are still required from the player and provide an estimated timeframe for completing the verification process?

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your update.
