Hello, Lanista Casino has not paid out any money since January 17th and I cannot request any further withdrawals; it says "withdrawals blocked by Operator".

No verification was requested by the casino, and I had previously received normal payouts.

The casino is not communicating with me, and I find it strange that I've been left waiting for two weeks without an update.

  • Have you made any changes to your account or updated any personal information that might have impacted your ability to withdraw?
  • Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?

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.

Hi Petra. I haven't made any changes and everything is exactly as it was when I registered.


I requested the payouts on January 18th, and after that I couldn't request any more because this screen appeared.


I made my profits using the Crypto Welcome Bonus.


Unfortunately, I can't upload any documents. My account says no verification is required, and the casino hasn't requested any documents from me. I don't know what the problem is.

After a 19-day wait, everything is still the same with no updates from the casino. I don't understand the purpose of this behavior.

Dear Nibadon,

Thank you for your reply and for providing the previous details.

To help us better understand and review your situation, could you please provide a bit more information on the following points?

  • When was your last successful withdrawal, and how long did it take to be processed?
  • Which payment method did you use to withdraw your winnings? Was it the same method you used previously?
  • What specific messages or error notifications do you receive when trying to request a withdrawal?
  • Have you attempted to contact the casino’s customer support? If so, what response did you receive?

You’re welcome to send any relevant documents or communication to petra.h@casino.guru, or you can post your screenshots directly in the thread.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Hello, the last successful payout was on January 17th and took 2 days.


I used the same USDT method.


This applies to payouts since January 18th.


I checked in on the live chat shortly after and was told to wait, as it was being investigated, but nothing has changed since then. Unfortunately, I was too slow to take a screenshot of the chat history.

I uploaded documents a week ago. However, it still hasn't been fully verified. I would appreciate it if my verification process didn't take another three weeks to complete.

My selfie was rejected without reason and requested again. Better communication, such as explaining what was wrong with my selfie so it wouldn't be uploaded incorrectly a second time, would of course help to prevent this process from being unnecessarily prolonged, but unfortunately the casino didn't do that.


Proof of my crypto address and deposit slip were also requested.


I've uploaded both items and would like to point out that crypto wallets don't have a named owner like bank accounts. This is also the case for me, as my crypto address comes from the Trust Wallet. Therefore, I've taken a screenshot in the app confirming my address.

My selfie has now been rejected for the third time without any reason. The casino is not communicating with me at all. I have no idea what could have gone wrong and can't proceed without an explanation. I would like this verification process to finally be completed and no further delays. It has already been over five weeks.

Since Lanista Casino filed this complaint almost two weeks ago, nothing has changed. Twice they've only said that it's being investigated or that they're in contact with the KYC department, but I still haven't received any information and nothing else is happening.


I would like to finally complete this verification and receive my winnings.

Hello, did you even look at my picture???

Here you can clearly see the logo, my ID card, and myself!

Why am I still being harassed? Six weeks and not a single improvement has been made.

Thank you both for your updates.

Nibadon, I understand your frustration, especially considering that the verification process has now been ongoing for several weeks and that your selfie has reportedly been rejected multiple times without a clear explanation. Situations like this can indeed feel very discouraging when there is limited communication about what exactly needs to be corrected.


Lanista Team, thank you for clarifying that the casino website must be visible in the background of the selfie. However, since the player states that the logo and website are already visible in the submitted image, could you please review the latest submission once again? I can clearly see it as well: his face, his ID and the Lanista logo in the top left screen of his laptop.

Additionally, could you please confirm:

  • What remaining steps, if any, are required to complete the verification and allow withdrawals again

Our goal is to ensure that the verification process is completed as smoothly as possible so the player can proceed with their withdrawals.

I look forward to your clarification.

Hello, what exactly is blocking the completion of my verification?

I've uploaded the selfie several times already, including here on Casino Guru. I've been waiting for seven weeks now, and the casino is doing absolutely nothing to complete my verification. They've already received all my documents, so why do I have to keep waiting and not receive any payouts?

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Thank you for your update, Nibadon.

Dear Lanista Casino,

Since the player is fully KYC-verified, please adhere to your own policy, withdrawals should be finalized within three business days.

According to your Terms and Conditions, specifically Section 6.15: "Requests to withdraw funds are worked through by the financial department within 3 (three) business days after the request is made and/or 3 (three) business days after the last withdrawal request was paid out..."

As this timeframe has been exceeded, we ask that you process the pending funds immediately.

Dear Nibadon,

I’m very glad to hear that additional withdrawals have been processed within the past week. Before we move forward, I’d like to clarify one point. Last week, you mentioned you were expecting €3,000. Since this is a significant amount, I just want to confirm that you have received the full payment and that no withdrawals remain pending.
