I am writing to formally dispute the closure of my account and the withholding of the funds remaining in it following your Know Your Customer (KYC)

Before this issue arose, I had used my account without any difficulties. I deposited, played, and withdrew funds successfully on previous occasions.


At the time my account was restricted, I still had funds in the account that I intended to use at a later time.


I was not properly aware that I was required to complete the KYC

KYC process within 48 hours in order to avoid my account being disabled and my funds being withheld. I never knowingly ignored such a requirement, as I was not clearly informed of the urgency or the consequences. Had I understood that failure to complete the verification within that timeframe would lead to account closure and loss of access to my balance, I would have taken immediate steps to comply.


During that period, I was also away from home for business purposes and had to travel frequently, including multiple flights affected by weather-related delays. This made it even more difficult to respond within such a short timeframe. In addition, their email notifications were not brought to my attention in time because they were automatically directed to my spam folder. I did not intentionally avoid or ignore any verification request.


Once I became aware of the matter, I contacted their support team and was initially informed that, after completing the verification process, I would be able to regain access to my account. I then promptly completed the full verification through their third-party provider, including proof of identity, proof of address, and the required live facial scan. The verification process showed as successfully completed.


However, after fully complying with their requests, I was subsequently informed that my account would remain permanently closed solely because the verification had not been completed within the original 48-hour period.


I find this decision unfair and disproportionate, particularly given that I fully cooperated and successfully verified my identity as requested.


In my experience with online gaming platforms, it is standard practice that once a customer completes the requested verification, any legitimate account balance is returned, even if the operator then decides to close or restrict the account afterward.


This is the first time I have encountered a situation in which verified funds are withheld despite full compliance with the identity verification requirements.


I respectfully request that you guys review this matter and find a way to return the funds remaining in my account.
