The player from Germany faced significant delays and issues in withdrawing winnings from Shinywilds after verifying his identity multiple times. His account was deemed inactive just after he received confirmation of successful verification, and he was left without any communication regarding the review of his withdrawal, receiving only automated responses. He requested a €500 withdrawal as his first cash out, but the casino later closed his account for a vague “management decision” without explaining the withheld winnings. We were unable to move the complaint forward because the casino repeatedly failed to cooperate and did not respond to our mediation attempts, so the case was closed as unresolved under our No Reaction Policy.

Good day, first of all,
I received free spins from Shiny Wilds for my birthday, which were directly converted into real money on August 10th.
With these free spins, I won €64 in real money. I wanted to withdraw it, but that evening I decided to try and make more of my winnings and ended up winning €500. I uploaded my ID, front and back, and then proof of address (as stated, letters from authorities that are no more than 3 months old are allowed). So I uploaded a recent letter I received from the district court on August 4, 2026. Immediately after the verification, I got "Document accepted, verification successful." Half an hour or an hour later, I received another email saying I had to verify my identity, so I did the same thing again with the same letter because it explicitly stated that they accept letters from authorities. Then another email arrived, and I did it a third time before going to sleep. The next morning, there was another email in my inbox saying I had to verify my identity, this time with instructions and a request to upload a bank statement. No sooner said than done. So I did the whole thing for the fourth time, this time with a recent bank statement instead of the official court letter. Afterwards, I contacted support and asked what it all meant and what was happening with my withdrawal. Support told me they were experiencing a high volume of withdrawals, which was why mine was taking longer. Since nothing had changed, I asked again what that meant and how long I would have to wait. Then, in the chat, they told me that the verification hadn't been completed, even though it said so on the website after verification and that it was being checked internally. Okay, so I logged in again later, had them confirm that my account had been officially verified and that the address verification was successful. Exactly one hour after this confirmation, my account was suddenly inactive. I contacted support again and asked what was going on, and from then on, I only received automated standard replies.
From the AI agent. I complained and said this wasn't acceptable, that I wasn't getting any help, no real employee to address my issue, etc. I then received an email confirming that I was fully verified and the verification process was complete, but that my account had been blocked for security reasons and the finance department was now reviewing my withdrawal.
Since then, I haven't received any feedback whatsoever, neither from the finance department nor from support. I only receive automated standard messages from their AI agent.
Best regards
Jeremy S.

Hello,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.
- Which payment methods did you use to deposit funds into this casino?
- Have you made any successful withdrawals from this casino before?
- Which documents were you asked to provide shortly before your account was blocked?
- Was your bank statement approved as part of the KYC process, or was this document the reason your account was blocked?
- Did you provide any other documents for the source-of-funds verification or as proof of your deposits?
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Veronika

TranslationHello,
Thank you so much for the quick response and your support with my case. Here are the answers to your questions:
Deposit method: I deposited via Visa / credit card.
Previous withdrawals: No, this is my very first withdrawal request at this casino (requested on 08.10.2026 for €500.00 via Visa / Interkassa, Transaction ID: 3628253089).
Documents requested: For verification purposes, I was asked to provide the standard KYC documents (photo ID, proof of address and bank statement/proof of payment).
Status of the bank statement / KYC: All documents I submitted (including the bank statement) were fully reviewed and officially confirmed as successfully verified by the casino via email on August 13, 2026, at 6:20 AM. The bank statement was therefore not the reason for the account suspension. The account was only suspended subsequently without specific reasons (only general "security reasons" were cited).
Source of funds / Further documents: The casino did not request any additional documents from me to verify the source of funds. All requested documentation was submitted and accepted by the casino.
I have over 30 screenshots available (game winnings, account balance, transaction ID, verification confirmation and support history), which I will gladly provide if required.
Best regards,
Jeremy S.

TranslationHello Veronika,
I would like to add a short update with three new screenshots to my complaint, as the casino's behavior is becoming increasingly absurd.
This morning I received two emails from ShinyWilds support. One at 7:26 AM (allegedly from an employee named "Rose") and another with the exact same wording an hour later at 8:26 AM (allegedly from "Zoe").
These are clearly automated bot responses. The absurdity of it is that these emails pretend my payment from August 10th is sitting normally in the finance department and is only delayed due to a "high volume of requests." The fact that my account was previously blocked for alleged "security reasons" is completely ignored.
This clearly proves to me that the support here does not conduct a genuine case-by-case review, but merely wants to fob me off with automated standard phrases and stalling tactics.
I hope this evidence helps you assess the situation. In total, I have over 50 screenshots that precisely document, from day one, that the casino is blocking all my requests, as previously mentioned.
Best regards,
Jeremy

TranslationHello Veronika,
The casino just sent me another email (see new screenshots). It informs me that my account has been permanently closed due to a purely "management decision".
Not a single specific violation of rules or terms and conditions has been mentioned. The casino hasn't commented at all on the payout of my outstanding balance of €500. This clearly shows that legitimate winnings are being withheld without justification or evidence.
Best regards,
Jeremy

TranslationAddendum: Exactly one hour after the email from 'Dara', a 'Ruby' sent me the exact same text template regarding the 'management decision'. This only further confirms that these are purely bot-generated responses without any editing whatsoever.

Dear Jeremy96,
Unfortunately, we have reached a point where we are unable to move forward with your complaint. Normally, we would contact the casino and ask them to provide their explanation and cooperate with the investigation. However, this casino currently has 10+ complaints that have been closed under our "No Reaction Policy," which clearly indicates that it is not willing to cooperate with us.
Therefore, we are unfortunately forced to close your complaint as "Unresolved." This will affect the casino’s overall rating. I understand that this is not a satisfactory resolution to your issue. However, unresolved complaints negatively affect the casino’s rating and may encourage the casino to reconsider its approach to cooperating with us.
Regrettably, we have no other option at this stage, as ShinyWilds Casino has repeatedly failed to respond to our attempts to mediate various issues. We have sent numerous emails and attempted to communicate with its live chat representatives and affiliate team. Unfortunately, despite our continued efforts, we have been unable to establish meaningful communication with the casino. You can review our previous unsuccessful attempts to negotiate with the casino in other complaints.
For this reason, we strongly recommend staying away from ShinyWilds Casino.
The casino can reopen this complaint at any time should it decide to cooperate with us.
In the meantime, you may also wish to contact the Curaçao Gaming Control Board and submit a complaint to them. Please note that the regulator states that it does not handle individual disputes between players and operators. However, if you would still like to contact them, you can do so through their official contact page: Curaçao Gaming Control Board – Contact
I am sorry that we could not be of more help on this occasion, and I appreciate your understanding.
Best regards,
Veronika
