Hi, I have a pending withdrawal from 23 June. I have been asked to resend a selfie showing my elbow and a letter saying 'Hi Playfina' with the date. I submitted that on 1 July, they came back saying they need it again, so I took it again, then they came back saying they needed it without the letter, so I sent that, now they are saying they need it again with a new letter. I have submitted 4 different selfies and they are just giving me the run around. They have also temporarily locked my account, with no actual reason. This is getting out of hand.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Playfina Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise how long you were a player at the casino and when exactly your account was blocked?
  • How did you learn about your account being blocked?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports)
  • Did you achieve your current balance with the help of a bonus?
  • Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue and any other supporting evidence of the incident? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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

Hello,


I signed up on 22 June 2026, deposited $250 and claimed the welcome bonus. I met the wagering requirement and won $1392.50. I submitted my documentation on 23 June. I received an email on 24 June saying my account is verified. I then proceeded to verify my phone number, which I did. I was then asked to send a selfie with the date which I only managed to get to them on 1 July. Then on 5 July I went to check on the withdrawal and that is when I saw that my account was blocked. I played Caveman Bob which is a slot game.


I will forward the emails to your email address shortly, there are a few of them.


Thank you

Has the casino specified any reason for blocking your account? Does the casino still ask you and allows you to submit any documents since your last post?

Share any more recent communication with me, if available, at tomas@casino.guru

Please let me know. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi,


Yes they have asked me for a different selfie again just a few minutes ago again. The point is I have sent so many and they are still asking for a different one or the same one but with a different issue. They are avoiding the payment. I still can't log into my account.
