Case summary

The player from Germany faced difficulties withdrawing his winnings due to the casino's policy of only allowing withdrawals to physical banks. Despite providing a bank statement and having an account at a physical bank, his withdrawal requests were repeatedly rejected. He sought assistance as he could not proceed with the casino's requirements and considered a chargeback. The issue was resolved when the player was informed that his bank statement had been accepted, and the casino confirmed that his withdrawals could now be processed.

Hello,


Unfortunately, the casino refuses to pay me out.


I deposited at this casino using a credit card. For some reason, this casino doesn't offer credit card withdrawals and only accepts bank transfers.

Since I deposited with a Revolut credit card, I would also like to withdraw to my bank account there. I uploaded a bank statement for this purpose, but it was rejected. They say they don't make withdrawals to non-physical banks.


The casino apparently simply assumes that everyone has an account at a physical bank; there's nothing in the terms and conditions about this upfront. Fortunately, I have an account at a physical bank, but it's my primary account and not intended for casino payments. I then submitted an original bank statement with the balance redacted, and it was rejected because it was being processed. I must submit a bank statement with the balance from an account at a physical bank, otherwise, no withdrawal will be processed.


I haven't encountered this practice at any Dama NV casino yet. Moreover, it should be regulated in the terms and conditions.


I therefore ask for your help, as I cannot make any progress with this casino and would otherwise have to have the deposit refunded via chargeback.

I have uploaded the rejected documents and the chat history for you.


Thank you in advance for your effort!

Dear SebaFred26,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.

It is also important to mention that the casinos do not accept modified documents. I understand you did it for your own protection, however casinos see it as a red flag.

Will you be able to provide an original, not modified document to the casino?

Additionally, do I understand correctly that you do have separate account for your gambling activity?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Katarina

Hello Katarina,


Thank you very much for the quick response!


I deposited money into this casino using my Revolut Bank account. A withdrawal isn't possible because this bank doesn't have any physical branches. That's a contradiction in terms. Moreover, in 2025, many banks won't have any physical branches.


I've played at other casinos in the Dama NV group, and it's never been a problem. However, this casino refuses to accept this and doesn't mention it in its terms and conditions. It can't be that a user has to open an account at a bank with physical branches in order to withdraw money here.

To me, this borders on fraud, because all users who deposit with online banks like Revolut don't get their money paid out. What's more, the casino even offers a bonus for deposits with Revolut (see screenshots).


The Revolut account statement is, of course, unedited and original from the bank; I have uploaded it as an attachment when preparing this complaint.

In the meantime, I tried using recent credit card statements from American Express and Norwegian Bank, but these were also rejected. I also have an account confirmation from Klarna Bank, and I don't have an electricity or gas bill.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

We need to extend the timer for 7 more days since we are still trying to reach the casino.

Dear SebaFred26 and Pavel,


We apologize for the delay in our response. The card submitted by the player has been successfully verified and is fully acceptable. However, the withdrawals were canceled because we have not yet received valid proof of address.


To proceed, we kindly ask the player to provide a document showing both their name and address. The document must be no older than 90 days and can be, for example, a utility bill, bank statement, tax bill, or an official certificate of residence.


Please also note that the document must not be edited, cropped, or photographed — it should be submitted in its original, unaltered form. Once we receive this, we will be able to move forward with the withdrawal process.

Hello Pavel,


Unfortunately, the casino continues to refuse to pay me out.


As the casino wrote here, I uploaded a bank statement. This was again rejected without any explanation, even though it met all the requirements. The automated email stated that a credit card statement could also be uploaded. I then uploaded a recent American Express credit card statement, which was also rejected without any explanation.


I forwarded the two rejected documents and the email (the same for both documents).


Thank you so much for all your help!


Best regards
