Case summary

The player from the Netherlands is unable to complete the KYC verification process at Instant Casino due to persistent upload errors, despite multiple troubleshooting attempts. He requests a refund of his total deposits of €220, as the casino refuses refunds for wagered funds and requires verification to process the account closure he has requested.

Casino: Instant Casino (instantcasino.com)


My username at the casino: ****


Problem:

I cannot complete the KYC/verification process (uploading ID/documents). Every attempt gives a general error message (e.g. "upload failed" or "file not accepted"), without any specific error code. I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps (restart browser, clear cache & cookies, incognito mode, different browser/device, switch between WiFi and mobile data), but uploading still fails.


Support refuses to refund my deposits (€220 total) and states that refunds are "not available" for wagered/used funds (see chat with Gennaro on January 21, 2026). They keep asking for screenshots of the error message, but since uploading doesn't work, I cannot provide a screenshot.


I only want my deposits refunded (€220), no winnings or remaining balance claimed. I have repeatedly requested permanent account closure + refund of deposits, but they require verification first and do not provide refunds.


The casino is illegal in the Netherlands (no KSA license, listed as restricted territory in their own terms). I live in the Netherlands and was not aware of the illegality.


Attachments (I will upload):

- Screenshot chat with Gennaro (states refunds "not available")

- Screenshot chat with Mishcel/Alucard (asking for screenshots of error + troubleshooting steps)

- Screenshot latest chat with Mishcel (verification must be completed for closure)

- Screenshots of deposits in casino cashier/history (total €215, dates, method)

- Rabobank transaction screenshots / statements of the deposits (proof of €215 deposited)


Please review and mediate for a refund of my deposits (€215) and/or account closure.


Kind regards, 

Lars *****

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Instant Casino. Please note, we don't engage in cases where a refund of deposits is requested due to the casino missing a particular license. Please note that before refunds of deposits or payouts are processed, verification might be requested. We are unable to ask the casino to skip the verification process once it has been initiated.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise whether you taken a screenshot of the situation and provided it to the support via email to investigate?
  • Is your player's account filled out with complete and accurate personal information?
  • Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus?
  • Could you please share with me what the verification requirements are? Send the infomation at [email protected], or post screenshots here

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

Best regards,

Tomas
