Need For Spin Casino - Player's account has been closed and funds confiscated.

I am submitting this complaint regarding Need For Spin Casino’s decision to confiscate my full account balance (€3,125), including my original deposit, following a verification process that failed due to issues entirely outside of my control.

Timeline

• 26 November: I made a deposit at Need For Spin Casino, accepted a bonus, and played slots in accordance with the terms and wagering requirements. After completing wagering, my balance was €3,125.
• When attempting to withdraw I noticed account verification was required.

Verification Process

• I successfully completed identity verification, including:
• Uploading my passport
• Completing a facial recognition scan
• I then attempted to upload proof of address in the form of an official bank statement (PDF format, not a photo).
• The document was:
• Recently dated
• Clearly legible
• Showing my full name, address, and IBAN
• The automated verification system rejected this document, stating that the name did not match.
• My first and last name matched exactly the name used during registration.
• The only difference was the inclusion of my middle name on the bank statement.
• Need For Spin does not request middle names during registration.
• I attempted a second bank statement from a different bank, again fully compliant with the stated requirements.
• This was also rejected for the same reason.

System Error Preventing Further Verification

• After the second rejection, the verification system became stuck on the rejection message and no longer allowed any further document uploads.
• I attempted multiple solutions:
• Waiting a while hoping it would reset
• Clearing cookies
• Using different browsers
• The issue persisted, making it technically impossible to continue verification. (Screenshot available showing the verification page frozen with no upload option.)

Support and KYC Communication

• I contacted Need For Spin support multiple times, clearly explaining that I could no longer upload documents due to a system error.
• I repeatedly received generic responses instructing me to upload valid documents, despite explaining that uploading was no longer possible.
• Eventually, live chat provided me with a KYC email address.
• On 11 December, I emailed all requested verification documents directly to the KYC department. They had instructed me to do this if I was unable to upload the documents directly to the website.
• 2 weeks later, on 25 December, I received a reply stating that I would be required to complete a video verification call.
• Due to the Christmas period, I did not see this email immediately.
• On 2 January, I received an email stating that because I had not completed verification within 30 days, Need For Spin had confiscated my entire balance, including both winnings and my original deposit.
• My account is now fully locked, and I have no access to my funds.

Why This Action Is Unjust

1. The verification delay was caused by:

• Automated software rejecting valid documents for an unjustified reason (middle name inclusion).
• A system error that prevented any further document uploads.
• Ineffective and unhelpful support responses.
• A two-week delay by the KYC department before responding.

2. I fully cooperated at every stage and provided all requested documentation.

3. Applying a strict 30-day verification limit while:

• Preventing further uploads due to a system error, and
• Delaying responses for weeks

is fundamentally unfair.

4. Confiscating both winnings and the original deposit under these circumstances constitutes abusive KYC practice and unjust enrichment.

I am requesting full restoration and payment of my €3,125 balance. The imposition of a short verification time limit, combined with the threat of confiscating the entire balance, is disproportionate and unreasonable, particularly where verification delays were primarily caused by the casino’s own automated systems, software errors, and delayed responses. Under these circumstances, the confiscation of both winnings and the original deposit constitutes an unfair and abusive application of the verification process.

Hello Tomas,

Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to review my case.Please find my answers to your questions below.

Games played:

I played slot games only. I did not play live casino games or place any sports bets.

Use of a bonus:

Yes, my balance was achieved with the help of a bonus that I accepted at the time of deposit. All wagering requirements associated with the bonus were fully completed before I attempted to withdraw. My balance at that point was €3,125.

Communication attempts after encountering the errors:

After the automated verification system rejected two valid bank statements and then became stuck with no option to upload further documents, I made multiple attempts to contact the casino:

I contacted customer support several times via email, explaining that the verification system was no longer allowing uploads due to an apparent technical issue. I repeatedly received generic responses instructing me to upload valid documents, despite clearly explaining that uploading was no longer possible. Eventually, via live chat, I was provided with a separate KYC email address to contact directly. I explained the situation to them.

Communication regarding verification requirements:

• On 25 December, I received a response stating that I would need to complete a video verification call.
• On 2 January, I received an email stating that because verification was not completed within 30 days, the casino had confiscated my entire balance, including my deposit, and locked my account.

I have emailed you relevant emails and a screenshot of the verification screen showing the system stuck with no upload option. Please let me know if you require any additional information from my side.

Dear casino representative,

Dear mccarthy9A,

After a thorough review of your case, I would like to share the results of our investigation.

Based on the evidence provided by the casino, I must regretfully reject your complaint as unjustified.

The evidence confirms that the video verification was not successfully completed due to multiple factors, including indications of possible third-party control and discrepancies with casino’s system data regarding account and device details. Additionally, multiple high-risk indicators were detected during verification process. These patterns strongly suggest account misuse and triggered enhanced security checks.

As identity verification is a critical requirement, the casino was entitled to reject the verification and restrict the account accordingly.

Given that the casino provided the player with an additional verification opportunity and supported its decision with clear and verifiable evidence, we consider the complaint unjustified and will be forced to reject it.
