Lamabet Casino - Player's withdrawal is delayed due to verification issues.

When I tried to complete KYC at this casino, I submitted my residence certificate (the most valid document) to verify my address, but the document was rejected.

When I checked with support, I was told that a Japanese residence card cannot be used to verify my address. This means that there is no way to withdraw money, so the withdrawal is effectively being refused.

It is absolutely impossible for other casinos to not be able to verify your residence card.

Please help me to get my money back.

Dear player,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. 

Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

• Could you please specify when the KYC verification started and when exactly you sent the last document (residence card)?
• Were your other documents successfully verified?
• Based on your conversation with the live chat agent, I can see that you were offered alternative documents to prove your address, that are utility bill, phone bill, or bank statement with your full name and address. Have you provided any of them to the casino?

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

Best regards, 

Natalia

Important Notice:

Casino.Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino.Guru and makes such a request, do not share any information.

We only contact players through this official complaint thread or via @casino.guru email addresses. Always check the sender’s domain and verify your resolver’s email by clicking on their avatar visible inside the official complaint thread.

If anything seems suspicious, contact us directly.

Stay safe.

We are currently working on this, but there is no prospect of a solution.

I have submitted multiple documents that meet the requirements, but they are being rejected for various reasons.

・Bank statements are invalid if there is no transaction history.

・Documents must be written in Roman characters or they will be invalid

・The address on the account is written in Roman characters, so even if you try to change it to Japanese, it will be invalid because there is no postal code.

(You don't need to change your postcode.)

Although the casino says that they only need to know your name and address, they keep adding more and more conditions and it seems that they have no intention of going through KYC at all.

All Japanese documents are not supported. (I have passed KYC at over 10 other casinos, but this is the first time I have encountered a problem.)

All I can say at this point is that I have submitted all of my bank statements, electricity bills and utility bills.

What should I do next?

Thank you very much for your reply! Could you please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to natalia.b@casino.guru? Alternatively, you can post the screenshots here. Thank you in advance.
