Dear Casino Guru Team,
Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this case.
After a thorough review with our KYC team, we would like to provide a detailed explanation of the player's verification status, the documents requested, and the reasons why the verification process has not yet been completed.
Verification status
First and foremost, we would like to clarify that the player's withdrawal has not been rejected due to their nationality.
The player's withdrawal remains pending because the mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process has not been successfully completed.
The player initially attempted to verify through our automated verification system but did not successfully pass the verification. Instead, the requested documents were later submitted by email. However, in accordance with our KYC procedures, the verification must be completed through our automated verification system, including the mandatory liveness check. This security measure allows us to verify both the authenticity of the identity document and that the person completing the verification matches the document presented. This requirement is an important anti-fraud measure and forms part of our standard verification process for all players.
Documents currently required
To complete the verification process, the player has been requested to provide the following documents through the verification system:
Proof of Identity (one of the following Polish-issued documents):
- Polish passport;
- Polish national ID card;
- Polish driver's licence; or
- Polish residence permit (front and back).
Proof of Address:
A document confirming the residential address registered on the casino account. Normally we accept bank statements.
Proof of Payment Method:
- A colour photograph of the credit/debit card used to make deposits (front and back, with the middle six digits and CVV code concealed); and
- A screenshot of the player's online banking profile displaying the bank account number or IBAN.
Why the submitted documents could not be accepted
The documents submitted by the player could not be accepted for several reasons.
Firstly, the verification was not completed through our automated verification system, and the mandatory liveness check was therefore not successfully completed.
Secondly, the submitted PESEL document cannot be accepted as Proof of Identity. A PESEL is a Polish personal identification number used for administrative purposes. It is not an official government-issued photo identity document and therefore cannot independently verify a person's identity for KYC purposes.
Additionally, the submitted Legitymacja szkolna (student identification card) cannot be accepted as supporting documentation. Although it may display the holder's PESEL number, it is issued by an educational institution and is not an official government-issued identity or immigration document. It does not confirm the holder's current legal residence status in Poland and therefore cannot replace the official identity documents required under our KYC policy.
For KYC purposes, we must rely on official government-issued documents, such as a Polish passport, national ID card, driver's licence, or residence permit, as these documents enable us to verify the player's identity in accordance with our regulatory obligations.
Finally, the submitted bank statement could not be accepted because the residential address shown on the document does not match the address registered on the player's casino account.
As these addresses differ, the document cannot be used to verify the address registered on the account.
Regarding the player's nationality and residence
The player states that they are a Ukrainian citizen legally residing in Poland. We acknowledge that nationality and country of residence are separate matters. However, regardless of nationality, every player must successfully complete our verification process by providing the required documentation that complies with our KYC requirements before a withdrawal can be processed.
At this stage, the verification process remains incomplete because the required documentation has not yet been successfully provided through the designated verification procedure.
Applicable Terms and Conditions
As outlined in our Terms and Conditions:
"If you fail to verify your account in the established time, winnings will be confiscated and your account will be permanently closed due to the failed verification procedure."
We would like to emphasize that this clause has not been applied at this stage. The player still has the opportunity to complete the verification process by uploading the requested documentation through our automated verification system.
We hope this explanation clarifies the current status of the case. Should any additional information or supporting evidence be required, we will be pleased to provide it.
Kind regards,
