Hello Casino Guru Team,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the player's complaint concerning their withdrawal of 500.00 CAD. We completely understand the player's initial hesitation when it comes to sharing sensitive financial documents online, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify our verification procedures and provide an update on this case.
Here is a breakdown of our regulatory requirements and the resolution of the player's account verification.
While we understand the player's reluctance to provide financial documents, rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is a strict requirement mandated by gambling authorities to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) laws and prevent financial fraud. As a licensed operator, we are governed by our regulatory authority, and we must implement and enforce robust AML, KYC, and transaction monitoring procedures.
To maintain our Anjouan gaming license, the regulatory authority has fully reviewed and approved our casino’s Terms & Conditions, which act as the binding regulatory standard we must follow. For reference, these are the applicable clauses:
8.4. As part of our Know-Your-Customer (KYC) process, we may request additional documentation or conduct a phone call to verify your identity. Withdrawal requests will remain pending until all required verification steps are completed. If we are unable to reach you by phone or email within two (2) weeks of your withdrawal request, your account will be locked and your withdrawal will be canceled.
9.5. To confirm your identity, we may request the following documents in Latin or Cyrillic script: Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license); Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement); Proof of payment method (credit card front/back, e-wallet screenshot).
11.2. We reserve the right to verify your identity before processing any withdrawals. If you submit false or incomplete KYC documents, we may refuse your payout and terminate your account notification will be sent via email. Additionally, we may report suspicious activity to the relevant regulatory authorities.
Required Identification Documents (at minimum): A copy of a valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license); Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement); Any additional documentation we request to confirm your identity or payment method.
Under these approved procedures, we are strictly obligated to verify the ownership of every individual payment method used to deposit or withdraw funds on our platform. This is specifically to avoid third-party payments, prevent identity theft, and ensure that malicious actors cannot launder money or exploit the system using stolen financial information.
We absolutely do not want to put any player's financial data at risk. In fact, standard industry practice dictates that players should mask sensitive information on their cards. To verify a payment method safely, we request the following:
Bank Card Photo: A clear photo of the front of the bank card used for deposits. For security, we always advise players to cover the middle 8 digits of the card number (leaving only the first 6 and last 4 digits visible). The cardholder's name and expiry date must be clearly readable. If we require the back of the card, the 3-digit CVV code must be covered. We will never request full card details.
Bank Statement: A recent bank statement that clearly shows the player's full name, account details, and the specific deposit transactions made to our platform. We require this to verify the source of the funds and confirm account ownership.
Transaction Screenshot: At times, we may need a transaction screenshot in case a deposit is made through Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other masking systems in order to fully determine the origin and validity of the transaction.
Please rest assured that all personal and financial information transmitted to us is protected by strict encryption protocols.
We pride ourselves on the speedy document and transaction reviews we provide to our players. After the player successfully uploaded the required, safely redacted documents, we were able to review them in less than 20 minutes and approved the 500.00 CAD withdrawal within 25 minutes.
We hope this clarifies why these checks were an unavoidable step in securing the player's account and maintaining a legitimate gaming environment. We are glad that everything has been fully resolved on our end and that the funds have been successfully processed.
Best regards,
Team Run4Win
