Case summary

The player from Latvia had made a deposit of 500 euros using crypto and received a welcome bonus, which raised his balance to 2884 euros. When he attempted to withdraw, he completed the requested verification process but continued to face additional requests, including a selfie and an ID document, as well as a photo of a VISA card that he had not used for the deposit. The Complaints Team facilitated communication with the casino to clarify the verification requirements and encouraged the player to comply with the KYC requests despite the unusual demands. Eventually, after the player submitted all the requested documents, including a selfie with specific details, the casino approved the withdrawal and closed the player's account. The complaint was then resolved.

Dear tikaispelem,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Please note that KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a mandatory security process designed to protect both players and the casino. Because online casinos cannot verify identities in person, KYC is the only reliable method to confirm that an account and its funds belong to the rightful owner. Licensed, reputable casinos handle this step carefully. Although verification can sometimes take a few business days, it is carried out to protect you and prevent misuse of your account. It is also common for casinos to request additional documents even after an account has been verified previously.

To help us investigate and expedite the process, could you please provide the following details:

  • Which documents have you already submitted, and when did you send the most recent one?
  • Could you please clarify which payment method you used to make deposits, and whether you've provided documents to verify it?

We hope to resolve this matter quickly. Thank you in advance for your reply and cooperation.

Best regards,

Kristina

How can you demand a physical plastic card if you haven't made a deposit with it? There's no evidence that such a card even exists.

Dear tikaispelem,

I understand that you may feel frustrated about the delay with your withdrawal. However, the casino is unable to verify documents in person, so additional documentation is required to ensure that the funds are released to the rightful owner.

I recommend that you comply with the casino’s request and upload the additional verification documents as soon as possible. Once all documents have been submitted, please let me know so I can follow up on your case.

This is just a circus. They keep asking for weird photos one by one. I'll take a selfie near my house now. There will be another request tomorrow. Do you think this is normal? It's clear the casino is deliberately delaying this.

If the casino doesn't have enough photos to fill the required list, then why is this request happening?

Why doesn't the casino request a list of the photos it needs?

Dear tikaispelem,

I can genuinely empathize with your feelings regarding this situation. It is indeed challenging when processes feel cumbersome.

Please understand that each casino has its own procedures for KYC verification. I have encountered a wide variety of practices in this regard. However, I want to assure you that the requirements being requested are legitimate and in accordance with regulatory standards. Thank you for your understanding.


Please let me know the outcome! Thank you so much in advance

they said after this selfie, they will approve my withdraw. I hope you'll respond, because I think this is a lie. This procedure is designed to prevent money from being withdrawn. If the goal was to verify something, they could have sent the entire list of required photos and documents.

I uploaded a selfie as they asked. The casino said that after that, the account would be verified and they would confirm the withdrawal. Of course, this is a lie. This casino doesn't withdraw anything. Avoid scammers.

this is best what is possible to make. They demand that everything be visible, including the elbow and details on the document. I don't know where to get a camera that can do all this. It's absurd.

They said the quality is bad and they do not see elbow. We have -15 temperature outside and I can not ask professional photographer to ask to make with some best quality. I asked friend to make photos with 17 phone... How is possibel to get better quality, I do not know..

Dear tikaispelem,

I believe I understand the situation. In the first photo, the information on your ID is clearly visible, but your elbow is not shown. In the second photo, your elbow is visible, yet the information on your ID cannot be seen. If you could take a photo that clearly displays both your elbow and the information on your ID, I think that the casino would find that sufficient. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I don't know what kind of camera is needed to achieve such quality. They need an elbow, then the lens has to be moved so far back that the ID card quality becomes poor. Also, the house number needs to be visible...

Dear tikaispelem,

That sounds like good news, doesn’t it? Thank you very much for letting me know.

If the casino has returned all of your funds and decided to close your account, unfortunately there is not much more we can do, as this falls within their rights.

I will go ahead and mark the complaint as "resolved" in our system. We truly appreciate your cooperation and confirmation. If you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center. We’re always here to help.


As you know, we do not charge for our services, nor do we accept any gratuities. However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to share your experience with our services (not with casino´s) on Trustpilot https://www.trustpilot.com/evaluate/casino.guru. An honest review, along with any suggestions for improvement, would be invaluable. Your feedback could help others who may be considering contacting us for assistance with online casino-related issues.
