Case summary

The player from Austria had successfully completed KYC verification and made two withdrawals, but then faced ongoing issues with a larger payout. The casino repeatedly requested different payment statements and screenshots of his Google Pay transaction, despite his providing bank statements. Despite submitting multiple documents, the casino continued to refuse to process his withdrawal. The player ultimately lost the remaining balance due to continued play after payout delays and requested to close the complaint. We closed the case as the funds were played off and no further action could be taken.

After two successful withdrawals, I've now encountered extreme problems with a larger win! I've already successfully completed KYC verification and submitted Paysafecard statements as PDFs, from bank statements to my debit card. However, every time I submit something, the casino requests a statement from a different payment! This continues unabated! Now, the issue is a Google Pay transaction that's clearly visible on my bank statement! The casino wants a screenshot of the Google Pay transaction list! These aren't saved on my account; they're directly visible on my bank statement! After uploading Paysafecard transactions as PDFs, the casino is now demanding screenshots of my personal Paysafecard account information! No matter what I send, the casino refuses to process the withdrawal!

I don't know what to do anymore. In the chat, they tell me they can't help me and aren't responsible... The support team only sends pre-generated messages! I'm uploading files that I've already provided to the casino.

Dear Walid2000,

Thank you for your complaint. Some online casinos organize their identity verification process into "verification levels." While there is no standardized approach across the industry, many licensed casinos follow a tiered system to comply with KYC and AML regulations.

Not all players are required to go beyond the basic levels of verification. However, higher levels are often necessary when dealing with larger sums of money or if an account is flagged for additional review. Although the process may feel intrusive, it is intended to protect both the player and the casino while ensuring compliance with local and international regulations.

I understand how frustrating it can be to feel that a casino has not properly informed you about the verification process. However, most casinos carry out verification at some stage—either before deposits, during gameplay, or most commonly at the time of the first withdrawal. Some casinos may allow a small number of withdrawals without full verification, but requesting documents at withdrawal is a common practice.

As there is no universal standard for verification procedures, we are not in a position to penalize casinos for how they manage this process, provided it aligns with their terms and applicable regulations.

To better understand your situation:

  • Could you please let me know which documents you have already provided, and when exactly you submitted the most recent one?
  • Have you provided all the requested documents as soon as possible and in the correct format?
  • Additionally, what specific documents has the casino requested from you regarding the Google Pay transaction?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petra

Hello, the casino confirmed a few days later that my account was supposedly verified... The payout was then delayed again, and I gambled away the money because I was angry! I can't say whether they would have actually paid out in the end... Thank you for your help, I will now have the complaint closed.

The strange thing about this casino, however, was that despite betting 50 and 80 cents on the €1200 I subsequently lost, not a single free spin appeared! How am I supposed to understand that with a total of €1200?
