Case summary

The player from Brazil complained about Vave Casino's unjust confiscation of his winnings due to an inaccurate calculation of a KYC verification deadline. He submitted his ID and proof of address within the required timeframe but was informed of his account closure just 7 days after their request, contrary to their stated 14-day policy. He sought mediation to correct this issue and recover his funds. We asked him for the exact KYC timeline and supporting casino communication, but he did not reply to our follow-up messages and reminders. As a result, we were unable to investigate further and the complaint was closed for now due to lack of response.

Unfair Account Closure and Confiscation of Winnings Due to Incorrect KYC Deadline Calculation


I am filing this complaint against Vave Casino regarding the unjust confiscation of my legitimate balance and winnings based on a completely false claim of exceeding a verification deadline.


Timeline of Events:

  • August 24: I requested a withdrawal on Vave Casino.
  • August 29: Since my withdrawal was still pending without any update, I proactively emailed their support asking if KYC documents were required. Support replied that they forwarded my query.
  • August 31 (10:56 AM): Vave Support (security@vave.com) sent the official request for my ID and Proof of Address. This was the starting date of the verification period.
  • September 7: Just 7 days after their initial document request, Vave sent an email stating my account was permanently closed and my winnings confiscated because I "failed to submit documents within the 2-week deadline."


The Core Issue: Vave's own Terms & Conditions state that players have 2 weeks (14 days) to complete the verification process. However, Vave confiscated my funds after only 7 days from their official request. I submitted my documents (ID and proof of address) well within the permitted timeframe.


When I contacted support to point out that only 7 days had passed since their request, they acknowledged my dates but refused to rectify the mistake, simply stating that the administration's decision was final.


This is a clear calculation error and an unfair confiscation of funds. I have full screenshot evidence of all email exchanges, timestamped requests, and submitted documents.


Requested Resolution: I request Casino Guru's mediation to ask Vave Casino to correct this mistake, verify my submitted documents, and release my full balance and winnings for withdrawal.

  • When exactly did you submit the requested KYC documents?
  • Additionally, could you please provide evidence showing the exact date when the 14-day KYC timeframe officially began? In particular, please forward the casino's initial KYC request or any communication confirming when you were first asked to submit the verification documents.

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.
