Case summary

The player from Australia faced issues with a pending withdrawal and account blockage after submitting KYC information. After making a new deposit, the entire account was blocked, and the deposited funds along with the withdrawal were seized. The Complaints Team attempted to resolve the issue by requesting documentation and contacting the casino for clarification. However, the casino failed to respond, and due to its unlicensed status and lack of an alternative dispute resolution service, the complaint was marked as unresolved. The Complaints Team informed the player of the situation and advised caution in choosing casinos with verified licenses in the future.

Dear Kkc85,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Could you please advise which games you focused on - slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • Have you lost access to your account directly after submitting the documents for the KYC verification?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Attila

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.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to.

I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email.

I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Jana
