Case summary

The player from Japan faced issues with withdrawing $7,000 after multiple KYC requests. Although he had submitted and gotten his documents approved, his final selfie was under review for over a month, causing his withdrawal to remain on hold. The casino later closed his account citing fraudulent activity and confiscated his balance without providing evidence. We requested supporting proof from the casino but received no cooperation. Consequently, the complaint was closed as unresolved, with the casino’s rating negatively affected due to the lack of response.

I registered and played in the first half of November, and when I requested a withdrawal after earning $7,000 in cash, KYC came up several times.

It was approved smoothly, but each time additional documents were sent, and when I submitted my final selfie, I was told that it had not been approved for over a month and was still under review.

At the same time, the withdrawal continues to be held.

Casino Secret, which is a subsidiary of Vera John, also submitted all the necessary documents, but was not approved and is also on hold.

Could you please help me?

Have you ever successfully made a payment from this casino?


No, I haven't withdrawn the money because the KYC didn't go through.

Did you achieve your current balance thanks to the bonus?

No, I won in cash, so I didn't use my bonus balance.

Can you list what documents you provided and in what format?

I took a selfie, showed my driver's license, and submitted all my documents.


Could you please share your communication with the casino regarding the ID verification requirements and why your documents were not accepted? Please send an email or chat transcript to the email address below.

Understood.

Today I received a cancellation of my withdrawal and when I tried to log into my account to inquire, it was locked.

Secrets from the same series are also canceled and locked at the same time, so the sharing of information from the same series is clearly intentional.

Thanks for your patience and information provided.

I am sorry to hear about the recent development.

  • Were you informed about the reason why your account in the casino was blocked?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live/table games, betting on sports)

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Like Casino Secret, I have not received any email replies since my order was canceled.


It's a slot.

This is handled in the same way as Casino Secret.

This means that it is possible that the assets were simply confiscated by the same company at the same time.

Shouldn't it be treated as a separate casino?

Please conduct a thorough investigation.

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.

Dear sugarmoon,


The casino stopped replying and failed to provide supporting evidence. Since we are unable to continue with investigation, I have no choice but to close this 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 might help to change the casino's approach.In case the complaint will be reopened, you will be notified by email.


Given that the casino is licensed under the Curaçao Gaming Control Board, which currently does not have a formal procedure for handling complaints, there is no regulatory authority to escalate this matter to. I understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for. However, as previously mentioned, the unresolved status of this complaint will negatively impact the casino’s rating, potentially encouraging them to reconsider their approach. If the casino chooses to respond in the future, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.


Best regards,

Mirka
