Safety Index 6.0 Below average

Case summary

The player from Quebec faced difficulties withdrawing his winnings of 4607 due to a proctored video exam where he experienced inadequate accommodations for his visual impairment and language barrier. After closing the exam for being unmanageable, he reached out to VIP support but received no response from the verification team despite multiple attempts over more than 10 days. The Complaints Team intervened and negotiated with the casino, leading to an extension of the response time for verification questions from 5 to 30 seconds. Despite multiple document requests and repeated video verifications, the player complied with all requirements. Eventually, the casino confirmed successful completion of the verification process and restored withdrawal access. The complaint was marked as resolved after the player confirmed the issue was settled.

i won 4607. i was already verified prior. I've made successful withdrawal before as well.

now they asked me to do this proctored video exam with questions i need to answer.

before i even started the exam, i explained to my VIP manager that i have visual impairment and that English isn't my first language. and i asked if my visual disability would affect the exam at all. i was told that i have nothing to worry about and if there is any issues during the examination to just let the VIP manager know and they'd fix it. since i was reassured, i went ahead and start the exam, and right away i realized there has been 0 accommodation to my issues: i had less than 10 seconds to read and answer a question that was written in very small text format for me. since i read English very slowly and i cant see well especially small fonts and the fact that i only had 10 seconds to answer. i closed the exam right away as soon as i realized it wasn't possible for me to do properly. i then complained to the VIP support team and they simply referred me to the verification team and told me to email them and wait to see what they say, its not been over 10 days and I've heard nothing from them. I've emailed them multiple times and got no response . the only response i got was an automated email sayin it takes 3 days to answer me but its been over 10 days. ill attach all the communications with the casino in this complaint as well .

Dear gregport, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. 

Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

Do I understand correctly that the video verification is the last step in the KYC process? Have you received any messages from the casino following the failed video verification? Do you still have access to your account?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply. 

Best regards, 

Attila

Do I understand correctly that the video verification is the last step in the KYC process? i was verified prior for a long time and made plenty of withdrawals in the past. this video test came way later.


Have you received any messages from the casino following the failed video verification? ive been constantly emailing their support team and their verification team endlessly and was told by my vip manager to wait even though i described the situation to them multiple times. no one came back to me from the verification team in 2 weeks now . the evidence is in the previous response to this case in the screenshots



Do you still have access to your account? yes i do

Hello,


During the review of your videoverification, the security team identified concerns that require you to complete the videoverification again. If you have vision problems, we recommend completing the verification while wearing glasses or contact lenses.


A new email has been sent to your email address with instructions for repeating the videoverification. Please review it and complete the verification process.


Thank you for your cooperation.

You need to send an email to support@pinco.win . Attach one selfie showing:

- Your face;

- The document you used to verify your account, in expanded form;

- The screen of an electronic device with your profile page on the PINCO website open, containing your account ID.

The email must be sent from the email address specified in your profile.


Please include "Review Request" in the subject line, and provide your ID in the email. Attach the photo using the special button for adding files (usually a paperclip). Your request will not be processed without this information. The standard review period is up to 5 business days. This period may sometimes be extended.

Dear Pinco Casino Team,


We kindly ask you again to clarify the current situation.


As previously stated by the player, and as reflected in this conversation, it was agreed that the player could submit a selfie with a document in the background of his account as an alternative to video verification. However, you are now requesting that the player complete the video verification process again.


This is understandably confusing, as we believed a mutual agreement had already been reached.


We would also like to emphasize that the player has a visual impairment, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, for them to successfully complete the video verification process. If the submitted photo meets your stated requirements, we see no reason why it should not be accepted as a valid alternative.


We ask you to honor the previously agreed arrangement or provide a clear and reasonable explanation for this change. Please clarify how you intend to proceed without further delay.

Hello!

Signs of editing were detected in the selfie taken against the background of your personal account, therefore this option for completing one of the verification steps has been rejected and will no longer be available. You are required to complete video verification, no alternative verification methods are available.

Since you previously experienced difficulties completing video verification in English, please indicate in your reply to the specialists which language would be convenient for you to complete this procedure.

Thank you for your cooperation.

there is 0 editing in the picture you asked me to submit. i took the picture and immediately sent it to you via email. this is a blatant and obvious lie. i even sent the picture to lucia at the same time.


and the issue with the video verification isn't simply the language, its the fact that im visually impaired and you keep ignoring the fact that i have a severe visual disability.


once again, i have never dited the picture you asked me to submit , i owuld never do such a thing. i can even take a video of myself holding the ID and have my laptop open with my account open if you want.

Dear Both Parties,


Following a thorough review of the documentation submitted by both the player and the casino, we would like to propose a final alternative solution to facilitate the completion of the verification process.


We recommend arranging a live video call between the player and a representative of Pinco Casino. This approach would help address the concerns raised at the beginning of the complaint, particularly regarding the limited time provided to respond to verification questions. A live interaction would allow the player to respond in real time without undue pressure.


Additionally, this method would enable Pinco Casino to directly confirm the authenticity of the player’s identity and ensure that no third party is involved. During the call, the player may also present medical documentation related to their visual impairment to further substantiate their statements.


We believe this solution offers a fair and effective way to resolve the matter for both parties.

Public

Hello,

Unfortunately, we cannot accept the proposed conditions, as the relevant functionality is not available. Even if it were available, individual revisions to the established account verification procedures are not provided for.

The player was given the opportunity to complete one of the verification stages using an alternative method. However, signs of editing were identified in the submitted materials, as was previously communicated. Therefore, no further alternative options will be provided.

  • Regarding the time allocated for responses: the questions are not complex, and the allotted time is sufficient, including in light of the experience of other users completing similar verification procedures, provided that the account is being used by its rightful owner.
  • As for the language of the verification process: the player was repeatedly offered the opportunity to choose a convenient language in which to complete the verification, but no response to these requests was received.
  • With regard to possible vision issues: the use of glasses or contact lenses is permitted during the verification process.

No other options are provided for. The player must complete all stages of the verification process in accordance with the established procedure, in the same manner as other users.

Thank you for your cooperation.

i would be more than happy to do a live video call with a casino representative as that would accommodate my visual disability and allow me to answer any questions they might have in order to verify my account once again .


or they can also simply extend the timer for each question to about 1 minute each instead of 5 seconds to read and answer the questions, with my disability , 5 seconds is not nearly enough time to even read the questions whatsoever.


contacts and glasses doesn't help my visual problem as it is more serious than that.


lastly, the picture and video have not been edited whatsoever, this is a false claim and you cannot prove it was edited by any means because it wasn't. you have your chance to prove otherwise but you can't do so.

Hello!

The only concession we can still make is to provide 30 seconds to read the questions and answer them during video verification. This time should definitely be sufficient.

Please let us know if this option is acceptable to both the forum team and the player.

Dear Both Parties,


As both sides have outlined their respective conditions, we have carefully considered the situation and attempted to identify a balanced solution that would be acceptable to everyone involved.


At this stage, we believe that the casino’s proposed solution is reasonable. We therefore recommend that the player proceed with completing the video verification process. The extended timeframe provided to answer the verification questions should adequately address the concerns raised at the beginning of the complaint.


As there are no further alternatives available, we consider this to be the most appropriate way forward. We sincerely hope the player is able to complete the process successfully.

so it seems pinco is trying to intentionally delay this process further than it has too. last week they requested a government utility bill to reprove my address once more. and now today they finally reply to me asking for a copy of the contract with my mobile operator for the number indicated in my profile during registration.


i sent them my contract right away obviously. but my point is that they could've just asked for this document last week along with the utility bill. instead they wait a week+ to answer my last email and now asked for something else again. so we have to wait another week for their response again.
