SambaSlots Casino - Player’s withdrawal is delayed due to account verification.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: 24,000 kr

SambaSlots Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from Sweden won 2200 Euro at SambaSlots but faced withdrawal issues because the casino blocked his girlfriend's account, claiming it was linked to his. They underwent a verification process that required bank statements and selfies. We investigated the complaint, requesting full communication and proof related to the player's own account and payment methods. After reviewing the casino's terms and the evidence, it was determined that the player had breached the casino's rule prohibiting the use of third-party payment methods, which led to the account blocking and withholding of winnings. Consequently, the complaint was rejected based on the violation of the casino's terms and anti-money laundering regulations.

Hello!


Played at sambaslots and recently won 2200 Euro.

My girlfriend also has an account with it and has played before and was blocked, and apparently that account belongs to me too even though it's hers.


We are going through a verification process where they apparently can receive our PDF from the bank with everything they need, i.e.

bank statement from specific account, her name, and selfies etc.


We need help with this!


with kind regards

Isaac

Hello,


A little follow-up is coming here, they don't want to accept our proof she ordered from the bank.

They say they can only be a PDF while they are already one and that they cannot receive it.


Everything they want is in the proof and fixes everything they ask for...


Hope you can help us with this!


Kind regards,

Isaac

Please note that we can assist only you with this complaint. We cannot investigate the issue for both of you, as we need to communicate directly with the owner of the casino account this complaint concerns. For this reason, I need details related to your account only, not your girlfriend’s account. If she is experiencing issues with this casino, she can submit her own complaint separately.

Please let me ask you the following:

  • Do you have a bank statement issued in your name for the payment method you used to deposit money into the casino?

If you have any additional communication with the casino regarding the closure of your account, please forward it to me at [email protected].

Hello Isakslots,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Please forward me the bank statement you sent to the casino for the verification of your account at [email protected]. Kindly include all the communication between you and the casino regarding the verification of your account as well, since I have not received any emails from you yet.

Additionally, please clarify whether:

  • you used your girlfriend’s account to deposit money into your casino account, or
  • your girlfriend used your account to deposit money into her casino account, and
  • whether you regularly send money to one another.

Please forward me the original emails, not just screenshots of your email conversations with the casino. Providing the full, uncropped communication is the only way to ensure a thorough and complete investigation and to speed up the resolution process. Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your email. Please note that according to the Terms and Conditions of SambaSlots Casino:

6.8 You are not permitted to use any payment method belonging, or registered to, a third party for the purpose of depositing funds to your account. This includes, but is not limited to, family members (includes spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives), joint accounts, and company or business accounts. Any deposits made in breach of this provision will be deemed invalid, and any subsequent winnings arising from such deposits will be considered null and void and subject to forfeit.

Furthermore, please check our Fair Gambling Codex for Players:

"For deposits and withdrawals, you should only use bank accounts and credit cards held in your own name. If you don't do this, you might get into trouble when trying to make a withdrawal. This rule is mostly in place to prevent credit card misuse and also because of international anti-money-laundering regulations."

Please understand that this rule has been breached. Some exceptions might be allowed by casinos when depositing or withdrawing funds using a joint card or this possibility is communicated beforehand. Technically, it is very difficult to check who the owner of the payment method is at the depositing stage. This can be checked only during the account verification, which is usually done when a withdrawal is requested. Therefore, it is a player’s responsibility to use the allowed payment methods only.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, we will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern, or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply and understanding.

Best regards,

Veronika
