Case summary

The player from Japan had been facing excessive delays in the KYC verification process since registering with SpellWin on March 17, 2026, and claiming a bonus. Despite submitting all requested documents and contacting support multiple times, the verification remained pending without meaningful updates or explanations for nearly three weeks. We later established that the account had been disabled after the casino alleged multiple related accounts and coordinated play, but the evidence provided was insufficient for independent verification. The casino then temporarily restored account access and removed the withdrawal restriction so the available balance could be withdrawn, but the player did not complete the withdrawal or respond further. As a result, the complaint was closed for now due to lack of response.

I would like to provide additional information regarding my case with SpellWin.

I registered my account on March 17, 2026, and claimed the first deposit bonus offered by the casino. During my time on the site, I mainly played slot games.

After requesting a withdrawal, I was asked to complete the KYC verification process. I submitted all requested documents and fully cooperated with the verification requirements. However, despite my compliance, the verification remained pending for an extremely long period without any meaningful explanation.

On April 2, 2026, after already waiting for more than a week since submitting my documents, I contacted the casino and expressed my concern regarding the excessive delay. I also informed them that I had repeatedly contacted live chat support and had previously been promised an update by email, which never arrived.

The casino's response on April 2 was simply that my request had been forwarded to the relevant department and that I would be notified once there was an update. No explanation regarding the delay was provided.

After another eight days passed without any progress, I contacted the casino again on April 10. At that point, nearly three weeks had passed since my KYC documents had been submitted. I explained that the delay was unreasonable and requested immediate completion of the verification process and withdrawal.

The casino's reply on April 10 again failed to provide any substantive information. They merely stated that my request had been forwarded to their financial team to "speed up" the withdrawal process and apologized for the waiting time.

In summary:

I registered on March 17, 2026.

I claimed and used the casino's first deposit bonus.

I mainly played slot games.

I submitted all requested KYC documents.

Nearly three weeks passed without verification being completed.

I repeatedly contacted support and live chat.

I was promised updates that never arrived.

The casino never provided a clear reason for the delay.

The casino repeatedly responded with generic statements claiming that the matter had been forwarded to another department.

No evidence was provided that any actual review was taking place.

I believe this level of delay is excessive and unreasonable. More importantly, the casino failed to communicate transparently and repeatedly provided only generic responses despite numerous follow-ups.

I kindly ask Casino Guru to consider these facts when evaluating the fairness of the casino's conduct and handling of my withdrawal request.

Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Veronika,


Thank you for your reply.


I submitted the following documents for KYC verification:


Driver's License


Selfie holding my Driver's License


Certificate of Residence (Juminhyo)


The documents were uploaded in Japanese. I was never asked by the casino to provide certified translations or English versions of any documents.


Regarding VPN usage, I did not attempt to conceal my identity or impersonate a different person. I accessed the casino from my own account and submitted genuine documents that matched my personal information.


The last time I contacted the casino regarding my verification was on April 10, 2026. Prior to that, I had also contacted both the casino's support team and live chat several times because my verification had been pending for an unusually long period.


The casino's response on April 10 was that my request had been forwarded to their financial team in order to speed up the withdrawal process. However, they did not provide any explanation for the delay, any estimated timeframe, or any information regarding the actual status of my verification.


This was essentially the same type of response I had already received previously. Throughout the process, the casino repeatedly stated that my case had been forwarded to another department, but no meaningful update or progress was ever communicated to me.


Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate any help you can provide in resolving this matter.


Best regards

After reviewing the case, we can confirm that there has been no delay in the verification process on our side. The KYC review has been progressing in line with the documents submitted by the player. Each document was reviewed as it was received.


At this stage, the verification is still pending because we are waiting for the player to provide the remaining required documents.Once these documents are submitted, the verification process will continue accordingly.

Thank you for your update.


I must respectfully disagree with the casino's statement because it is inconsistent with what actually happened in my case.


The casino now claims that my verification is still pending because I have not submitted the remaining required documents. However, this is not correct.


I submitted all of the documents that were requested through the casino's KYC process. Furthermore, during my conversations with the live chat support, I was explicitly informed that my identity verification had already been completed. At no point was I told that additional documents were required or that my verification was still incomplete.


If the casino truly required further documents, they should have clearly informed me at that time. Instead, I was repeatedly told that my verification had been completed and that I only needed to wait.


I have also attempted to log into my account to review my account status and the previous chat conversations. However, I can no longer access my account.


When I try to log in, the website displays "User is disabled." If I attempt to recover my password, it displays "User is not found." I have attached screenshots showing both messages.


Because I cannot even access my account anymore, it is impossible for me to check my verification status, review my chat history, or upload any additional documents even if the casino were now claiming that they are required.


I therefore kindly ask the casino to answer the following questions clearly:


If additional documents were really required, exactly which documents are they?


When and through which communication channel was I informed of this request?


Why did the live chat support explicitly confirm that my identity verification had already been completed if the casino now claims that it was still pending?


At the moment, the casino's current explanation directly contradicts both the information that was previously provided to me and the actual status of my account.


Thank you for your continued assistance.

Dear Mirka,


Following a further comprehensive review conducted by our Risk & Anti-Fraud Team, we would like to provide an update regarding this case.


During this additional investigation, the player’s account was identified as being linked to multiple related accounts. Based on the evidence collected, the activity was found to be in breach of Section 9.7.1(e) of our Terms & Conditions, which prohibits coordinated play and any activity intended to obtain an unfair advantage.


As a result of these findings, the player’s account has been disabled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions. An email explaining the account closure was also sent to the player.


For security reasons and to protect the integrity of our fraud detection systems, we are unable to disclose the specific methods or evidence used during the investigation. However, we can confirm that the decision was made following a thorough internal review and in accordance with our internal procedures and Terms & Conditions.

Dear rinrin8960256,


Following a final review of the case, we have temporarily restored access to your account so you can log in and withdraw the available balance.

This decision is being made to bring the matter to a prompt resolution and does not change our position regarding the account review or the application of our Terms & Conditions. Once the withdrawal has been completed, the account will be closed again in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Please proceed with the withdrawal from your account.


Dear Mirka,


In the interest of bringing this complaint to a prompt and practical resolution, we have decided to release the player’s available balance for withdrawal. The player’s account has therefore been temporarily reactivated for the sole purpose of completing the withdrawal.

We would like to clarify that this resolution does not constitute a reversal of our findings or position regarding the account. SpellWin reserves the right to restrict or close accounts where permitted under its Terms & Conditions. Accordingly, once the player has successfully withdrawn the available balance, the account will be closed again.

We believe this provides a fair resolution of the financial aspect of the complaint while preserving the account decision made under our Terms & Conditions.


Kind regards,

Dear rinrin8960256,


Can you please confirm, if you were able to make any progress in your withdrawal process?

Dear Mirka,


Thank you for following up.


No, I have not received my withdrawal. In fact, I have now checked SpellWin again and discovered that the website itself is no longer accessible from Japan, so I cannot even check the current status of my account or withdrawal.


However, I believe it is important to clarify the sequence of events in this case, because SpellWin's explanations have changed significantly throughout this complaint.


My withdrawal was originally left pending for an extended period. I repeatedly contacted SpellWin regarding both my withdrawal and KYC verification, and I was told by live chat support that my identity verification had been completed.


After this complaint was opened, however, SpellWin claimed that my verification was still pending because I had supposedly failed to provide "remaining required documents." This directly contradicted both my experience and what their own support had previously told me.


I had already submitted the documents requested through their KYC process. When I subsequently attempted to access my account to check the situation and, if necessary, comply with any further verification request, I discovered that my account had been disabled. Login displayed "User is disabled," while the password recovery function displayed "User is not found."


Only after all of this did SpellWin introduce a completely different explanation: that my account had allegedly been linked to multiple related accounts and that I had supposedly engaged in coordinated play in violation of Section 9.7.1(e).


This sequence is extremely concerning to me.


Initially, the issue was presented as a delayed KYC/withdrawal process. Then the casino claimed that additional KYC documents were missing, despite its own support having told me that my verification had been completed. I then found my account disabled, preventing me from accessing it or submitting anything further. Only afterwards did the casino justify the account closure by alleging coordinated play and multiple related accounts.


Furthermore, as I understand from the complaint thread, when Casino Guru requested evidence supporting this serious allegation, the evidence initially provided by SpellWin was not sufficient and did not contain the system logs required for an independent assessment. Casino Guru has consequently had to request sufficient supporting evidence from the casino multiple times.


From my perspective, I have cooperated throughout this process, while the casino's explanation for withholding my withdrawal has repeatedly changed.


I therefore strongly dispute SpellWin's allegations and ask that this complaint be assessed based on verifiable evidence rather than the casino's assertions alone. If SpellWin intends to confiscate my funds based on an allegation of multiple accounts or coordinated play, I believe it should be required to substantiate that allegation with sufficient evidence for Casino Guru to independently verify it.


At present, I have received no withdrawal, my account has been disabled, and I can no longer even access the SpellWin website from Japan.


Thank you for continuing to investigate this matter.

Dear Player,

We would like to clarify the reason behind the cancellation of your withdrawal requests, as the information provided in your complaint does not reflect the full circumstances.

Both withdrawal requests were cancelled because the selected payment method was USDT on the TRC-20 network, while the wallet addresses provided belonged to the ERC-20 network.

These are different blockchain networks, and sending funds to an incompatible address may result in the permanent loss of funds. The cancellations were therefore necessary to protect your funds and ensure that the transactions could be processed correctly.

Our team has already sent you two emails explaining this issue and the steps required to proceed.

To complete your withdrawal, please submit a new request using a wallet address compatible with the TRC-20 network, or select another available withdrawal method.

We would also like to reiterate that the previously discussed account restrictions have been lifted. The cancellation of these requests was related solely to the mismatch between the selected payment network and the provided wallet address, not to any additional restrictions on your funds.

Kind regards,

SpellWin Team

The casino has explained that your withdrawal requests were cancelled because you selected USDT on the TRC-20 network, but the wallet addresses provided were allegedly ERC-20 addresses.

Could you please confirm whether this is correct? If possible, please also provide screenshots showing the payment method/network you selected and the wallet address entered for the cancelled withdrawals.


If the casino’s explanation is correct, please submit a new withdrawal request using a wallet address compatible with the TRC-20 network, or choose another available withdrawal method. Once you do this, please let me know whether the request is accepted and whether the payment is processed.
