Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Nine Casino. I'm afraid I will need more information regarding your problem. Could you please elaborate? Has the casino requested a proof of funds which you are unable to provide?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,

Attila

Yes they removed my balance and want to see proof of funds 11k I deposited myself I won only a little bit of money.

I don't see how unfair this is. I provided all my documents.

Dear Darksid3,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint.

The requirement to request a proof of funds might be part of the Anti-Money Laundering compliance of the casino. Once it's requested from the player we might not compel the casino to skip this step. Therefore we would recommend you provide the documents and let us know about the result. If this step is not successful, we'll intervene.

Checking bank statements for the last three months is important for an online casino to verify a player's income as part of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance for several reasons:

1. Source of Funds Verification: Reviewing bank statements helps ensure that the money used for gambling is derived from legitimate sources. This is crucial to prevent money laundering, where illicit funds might be funneled through the casino to appear legitimate.
2. Financial Stability Assessment: By examining recent bank statements, the casino can assess a player’s financial stability. This helps to identify any unusual or suspicious transactions that could indicate money laundering activities.
3. Customer Profiling: Understanding a player’s financial situation allows the casino to build a more accurate profile. This helps in detecting inconsistencies or red flags that might warrant further investigation.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Online casinos are often required by law to conduct due diligence and monitor transactions to comply with AML regulations. Checking recent bank statements is a standard part of this due diligence process.
5. Risk Management: Ensuring that players are using funds that they can afford to lose helps protect both the casino and the players from financial harm, thereby reducing the overall risk of financial crime within the casino.
6. Transaction Patterns: Regular monitoring of bank statements can help identify patterns of deposits and withdrawals, making it easier to spot unusual behavior that could be indicative of money laundering.

In summary, reviewing the last three months of bank statements is a critical step in an online casino's efforts to ensure compliance with AML regulations, protect against financial crime, and maintain the integrity of their operations.

Please let me know of any further developments.

Best regards,

Attila
