Good morning,
I only have a day on slots.
The casino didn't ask me for kyc
I had used the welcome bonus that I had successfully completed.
Hello,
The player in question claimed he was from Norway during a VIP transfer request with our Client Team, however, upon further investigation it became clear he was based in France which is a restricted geo by the Anjouan Gaming Authority from which we are licensed by. Upon learning his true location our Risk and Compliance team proceeded with closing his account as required by law.
In the below images you can clearly see that the player admitted to being in France, as well as connecting from a residential (non-VPN) IP address in `Paris.
In addition, Gameplay is fully restricted when connecting from France as shown in the last image below.
So why did you let me play at first? My first two withdrawals took over four hours to process because you supposedly performed thorough checks. Oddly enough, you didn't seem to mind that I'm French. But when I request a huge sum, it's a different story; you ban me immediately, haha. Besides, you say France is prohibited, but it's strange, it wasn't written on your site yesterday. And strangely enough, you added France to the list of banned countries right after my complaint—that's crazy, isn't it? I have video evidence of this, with the date if necessary, because I knew perfectly well you were going to change your rules to add France to your terms and conditions after my complaint. 🙂 And I also want to point out, Guru, that the casino is fully accessible in France. I never received any message prohibiting me from playing from my country. 

I also forgot to specify that when I arrived on the site from a French ip I was able to register without worries and in addition the site may be in French. So what's the point of putting the French language in the languages available on your site if you banned French? I have never seen such a misleading and dishonest casino
The following is the formal position of our Risk & Compliance department on this dispute. It constitutes our final decision on the matter.
1. France is a restricted jurisdiction under our license.
Our operating license prohibits us from offering services in France. This is publicly verifiable on any reputable casino review or licensing-authority website. The availability of the French language on our platform does not constitute an offer of service to France. French is an official language in numerous other jurisdictions where we are licensed to operate. Gameplay from a French IP is hard-blocked at the platform level, even with full access to the website, a player connecting from France cannot place a wager without circumventing our geographic controls.
2. The breach is circumvention of a restricted geography.
Our records show access to the platform via a VPN endpoint in Norway, used to obscure a true location in France. The breach is not the use of a VPN per se, it is the deliberate circumvention of the geographic restrictions set out in our Terms & Conditions, which every player accepts at registration.
3. The withdrawal triggered additional compliance obligations.
Larger withdrawals are subject to additional compliance review. This is a regulated obligation, not a discretionary step. The fact that smaller earlier withdrawals were processed does not exempt a subsequent larger amount from further review. We do not disclose the specific signals, thresholds, or methods that form part of our compliance program; doing so would compromise the integrity of those controls for every other player on the platform.
4. Outcome required by our license.
Where a player is found to have accessed the platform from a restricted jurisdiction by circumventing our controls, our license requires us to close the account and refund verified deposits. Winnings accrued from play that should never have taken place are forfeit. This is not a discretionary commercial decision; it is the regulated outcome, and consistent application is a condition of holding the license.
The account has been closed and verified deposits refunded to the original payment method. This is our final decision on the matter.
I was able to access your site and create an account from France without using a vpn. I have no restrictions no message forbidding me to play at your place. If all casinos do as you do, he would lose 95% of their customers. However you, you are new so no worries for people from restricted countries you accept them with pleasure so they are losers until a player places a big withdrawal there you banish him because you surely do not have the necessary funds to pay for it.
Thank you both for your replies and for providing the previous details.
Please note that if you accessed the casino from a restricted country by using a VPN, this would be considered a violation of the casino’s terms and conditions.
Thank you again for your cooperation.
Good morning,
I had a vpn to activate because I still have one to activate. It's basic to play on pragmatic or hacksaw on stake. So I'm used to always letting them activate. And except when I registered I saw that French players were not banned so I didn't ask myself any more questions I registered. Knowing that I watched after with or without vpn from France I can access, register and play on this site without problem without having an access block on their part. And for the condition of the vpn prohibited in their rules all casinos put it I think you know it. I find it just unfair to ban me for this condition when when I had lost money that I had re-deposted it doesn't bother them that I had a vpn but obviously when I win a large sum he doesn't mind banning me with this condition. I find it degeulasse. I had information that the casino did not have the necessary funds to pay for my withdrawal according to a source but in short. I also did an audit with pragmatic and their game license.

Hello there,
Thank you FiLouYe for providing us with all the information. I hope we'll be able to resolve this issue together.
I would now like to ask LuckyAnon Casino for their help in resolving this complaint. We would like to know why the player's account was blocked and what we can do to help resolve this issue.
Thank you!
Here is one of the messages that the casino had sent me to make me want to play. Another thing they didn't respect.
Thank you for the update LuckyAnon Casino representative. Would it be possible to provide me with evidence of how the player went around this restriction in the first place? Additionally, would the player not be allowed to play in the casino if they registered in France in the first place? You can forward any information to my email. (peter.c@casino.guru) Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
You will soon be redirected to the casino’s website. Please wait. If you use some ad blocking software, please check its settings.
