Case summary

The player from Ireland faced issues with the account verification process at Pledoo Casino, including an unreasonable one-hour deadline to submit a bank statement and irrelevant questions during the verification. Despite providing the necessary document, the player received no updates or communication from the casino, leading to frustration and a lack of support. The Complaints Team reviewed the evidence and concluded that the casino's decision to reject the player's complaint was justified due to concerns about third-party involvement during the verification call, which was a critical part of the account verification process. The player was informed that the complaint was deemed unjustified, and the casino's actions were upheld.

Hi Casino Guru,

I’m reaching out to file a complaint about how Pledoo Casino has handled my account verification process. It’s been a very frustrating experience, and I hope you can help me get some clarity and resolution.


First off, I did the video call with their security team as they requested. However, the process quickly became unreasonable. They gave me a one-hour deadline to submit a bank statement, which was impossible for me to meet. I use Luxon, and they don’t issue regular bank statements, so I had to contact their support team to get a special signed document. This took longer than I was given, but I eventually managed to provide the document.


On top of that, during the verification process, they asked a lot of absurd questions about things like the colors of the slots I was playing, which felt completely unnecessary and out of line. As a gambler, I’ve already provided all the information they requested, including the video call, and I followed all their instructions to the best of my ability.

The real issue, however, has been the lack of response from Pledoo.


After I submitted the necessary document, I haven’t received any updates or communication from them at all. I’ve reached out multiple times by email and even on Skype, but no one is getting back to me. It’s really frustrating to be ignored after going through all these steps.

The whole process has felt really stressful, especially with the ridiculous time frame they set for document submission. I’ve done everything I was asked to do, and now I’m just being left in the dark.

Could you please help me get this sorted out? I just want to complete my verification and move on, but the lack of support and communication from Pledoo is making it really difficult.

Thanks for your time and help.

Dear GamblingBeast,

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 take 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 (except for the bank statement) and when exactly you sent the last one?
  • Have you provided all the required documents 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,

Kristina

Dear Conor,


Thank you for your patience!


We apologize for the delayed answer. Your video verification is still under review, we will inform you about results as soon as the review is finished.


Thank you for providing the document. Unfortunately, it cannot be accepted.


Please upload your Luxon account statement for the last 180 days. An account statement is an official document summarizing your account activity over a specific period, usually one month. The statement lists account details, charges, deposits, withdrawals, and deductions, along with the account holder’s name and account number. It must be uploaded in PDF format.

Is this what you mean please? There is no iban on there so you can verify this account? Is that correct.

Dear Pledoo Casino Security Department,

Thank you for your email, but I must express my frustration with this outcome. I have done everything required to verify my account, including submitting all the necessary documents, completing the video verification, and following all instructions given to me.


You mention that the video verification failed, but I have no understanding of what specifically went wrong, as I answered every question to the best of my ability. If there were any issues with the verification, I believe they may have been due to the nature of the questions, which seemed unrelated to my actual gaming activity. I am simply an online gambler and do not focus on irrelevant details like the color of slots.


I have already submitted the video to Casino Guru, so they can review the footage and confirm that I answered everything requested during the verification process. It’s important to note that I have provided truthful and accurate information throughout, and I believe there are no grounds for this account block.


Furthermore, I do not believe there is any fraudulent activity in my account. I request a clear explanation as to why my account has been blocked and why my winnings have been voided. I have complied with all requirements, and it feels as though I am being unfairly treated.


I am requesting that you reconsider your decision and reinstate my account and any eligible winnings. I would appreciate a detailed response regarding the exact reasons for the failed verification and the block on my account.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Conor R.

Dear Pledoo Casino,

Thank you for providing supporting evidence and for your cooperation throughout this case.


Dear GamblingBeast,

I regret to inform you that based on the evidence and arguments presented by the casino, it has become clear that a satisfactory resolution for you was not feasible in this instance.

The verification call is a critical element of the casino’s account verification process. During this call, players are expected to provide specific information to confirm their identity and ownership of the account. This requirement ensures that the person using the account is its rightful owner.

All players agree to the casino’s Terms & Conditions when registering, which include a commitment to use the account personally and not allow third-party access. If a player cannot correctly answer basic questions about their identity or account during the verification call, it raises valid concerns about potential third-party involvement. Such involvement constitutes a serious breach of the casino’s Terms & Conditions.


Unfortunately, these considerations are sufficient to justify the casino’s decision and reject this complaint as unjustified.


Thank you for your understanding and I am sorry I could not be of more help in this occasion. If you encounter further issues with this or any other casino in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center - we’re here to assist you.


Best Regards,

Kubo
