Case summary

The player from Italy reported that his Sportaza account had been closed permanently, allegedly due to incomplete verification, despite being within the 30-day timeframe for document submission. He stated that his account held a balance of 1,200.00 € that was being withheld unfairly. He said he had requested the withdrawal on August 31st, but the casino later closed his account on September 3rd after repeatedly rejecting his ID, selfie, and virtual card-related documents without offering alternatives. We made multiple attempts to contact the casino, but no response was received, so the complaint was marked as unresolved.

My Sportaza account has been closed abruptly and permanently by the administration (notified via live chat by an agent named Rodrigo), under the pretext that the account verification was not completed successfully.

This closure is completely unfair, arbitrary, and violates Sportaza's own Terms and Conditions (Section 5.3), which explicitly state that users have 30 (thirty) days from the request to provide the required documents.

Here is the timeline of the events:

1. Sportaza initiated the account verification request.

2. After an initial review and follow-up requests, I promptly sent the updated documents via email on September 3 (just one day ago).

3. While I was well within the 30-day timeframe allowed by their terms and waiting for them to review the documents sent on September 3, they suddenly closed my account permanently and refused to reopen it.

4. My account currently holds a balance of 1,200.00 €, which they are withholding without a legitimate reason and in direct violation of their own rules.

When I contacted support, I only received a generic automated response telling me to email complaints@sportaza.com, but they are holding my funds unfairly before the allowed verification period has even expired.

I kindly request Casino Guru's mediation to help me recover my 1,200.00 € balance or force the casino to properly review the documents I submitted on September 3 and reopen my account.

Dear mamba2000,

Thanks so much for sharing all the details and taking the time to explain everything so clearly. I really appreciate it.

Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver, Jana (jana.k@casino.guru), who will contact the casino directly and manage all communication from here. We want to be fully transparent with you. In the past, some of our messages to this casino have gone unanswered, so there’s a chance they may not respond again. However, we’ll do everything we can to encourage their cooperation and give your case the best possible chance of progress.

No action is needed from you at this point. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if anything else is required.

Kind regards,

Veronika


Please note that if the matter becomes solely about sports betting, we regret to inform you that we won't be able to assist you, as we do not have a department that handles such issues.

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.

Thank you for your patience as I worked to address your concerns regarding the casino. I have made multiple attempts to reach out to them but, unfortunately, have not received a response. I understand that this situation is frustrating and that without cooperation from the casino, it is challenging to make progress. Therefore, I will mark your complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I truly recognize that this is not the resolution you were hoping for. However, if the casino's rating is affected by the unresolved complaint, it may prompt them to reconsider their approach. Should they choose to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you via email. In the meantime, I recommend contacting the Anjouan Gaming Authority, as they may have additional resources and tools to assist players in situations like yours. If you need help with submitting your complaint or if you can do it independently and wish to share their response, please feel free to reach out at jana.k@casino.guru. I genuinely apologize for not being able to provide a more helpful solution at this time.


Best regards,

Jana
