Delaying tactics during verification after major win
I have played at this casino before and received payouts, albeit often with delays. However, since I had a larger win, the casino has been blocking the payout under the pretext of account verification.
The problem:
Although I have submitted all the required documents multiple times via the portal and by email, my account still shows the status "not verified" (red marker). The system prompts me to upload them, but no longer lists any missing documents.
Previous communication:
I've been contacting support via chat and email for weeks. I keep getting standard replies saying the process "still needs time." Since no concrete information is missing and my submissions are being ignored, I see this as a deliberate stalling tactic.
I am requesting support from Casino Guru because the casino is delaying the payout of my rightful winnings without any comprehensible reason.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
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.
Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one? Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and in the correct format?
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
TranslationWith reference to your inquiry, I can confirm that I have already submitted all the required documents – specifically my identity card, proof of residence and confirmation of the bank account – several times and in the correct format.
First, I uploaded these documents directly via the corresponding upload function on your website. Afterwards, it also indicated to me that the documents were already being reviewed.
Since the status remained unchanged for several weeks, I also contacted your chat support. They advised me to resubmit the documents via email as a precaution, which I did immediately. I sent the last document on March 2, 2026.
Since I fulfilled all requirements as quickly as possible, I assume that everything is now complete. I have also been repeatedly assured, upon inquiry, that everything has arrived. And that the case is of the highest priority.
Sincerely,
TranslationGood afternoon, I would like to inform you that about two hours ago I was suddenly able to see directly on the website what still needs to be uploaded. Subsequently, proof of address was requested again. I have, of course, uploaded this immediately as a PDF document. I assume this is due to your efforts and the communication through you, for which I would like to express my sincere thanks.
Dear Player, thank you for your response. Could you please explain what kind of document you sent to the casino for verification of your address? Have you received any communication indicating the status of your latest document submission?
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
