Case summary

The player from Portugal had requested to close his account at Welle Casino but was instead blocked, resulting in a loss of a balance of 90 Euros. He had contacted the casino for clarification but received no answers regarding his funds. The Complaints Team assessed the situation and closed the complaint as unjustified due to the player's inability to provide the necessary documentation for KYC verification and non-cooperation during the resolution process. It was noted that the casino had acted in accordance with its terms and conditions, which the player had accepted upon registration.

Opening an account at Welle Casino believing it to be a serious casino. But in fact they are a bunch of scammers. I asked for my account to be closed and they just blocked it, i.e. they lied I had a balance of 90 Euros which was not returned and when I contacted them they didn't answer what I asked and didn't return the money. Change scam!

Hello, fevas1,

I am sorry to hear about your trouble and apologize for the delay. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

In the meantime, can you please clarify how you imagine further proceeding with paying the confiscated winnings if you did not pass the KYC, which is mandatory for withdrawing anything in most online casinos?

Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.


Dear Casino Representative,

Could you please explain the user's situation in more detail?

If needed, feel free to send the necessary details and supporting evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

Thank you.

Hello Branislav,


We would like to inform you that the customer used 7 different Skrill wallets to fund his gaming account, which triggered a Source of Wealth (SOW) review - a process required to verify the origin of funds for compliance with anti-money laundering.


The client failed to complete the SOW verification. As a result, the customer’s account was blocked as required by the AML procedures.

The last deposit of €10 has been refunded to the e-wallet used.


Kind regards,

Welle Casino

Thank you both for your replies and the additional information.


Dear fevas1,

The successful KYC is mandatory to withdraw anything from a casino account. If AML rules are violated or a user is unable to pass the KYC, the casino has the right to confiscate any winnings. In specific cases, the casino has the right to even confiscate the last deposit.

If your last deposit was €10 and the you accumulated winnings of €90 on top of your €10 deposit, the casino has put your financial situation in the state it was in before you made the €10 deposit, since you did not complete the KYC/verification, the casino followed its Terms and Conditions you accepted upon registration.

Can you please provide us with the information on what exactly the casino requested from you, why you were unable to provide the required documentation for the SOW, and clarify your SOW and 7 different Skrill wallets used for deposits to the casino in more detail?

Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

THIS CASINO IS NOT REGULATED BY EUROPEAN STANDARDS, which is why I didn't accept it. I only found out later that this casino is in Central America.

Alright, fevas1. I think that at this point, we do not have to drag the process unnecessarily out. You were warned.

After assessing all the available information, we are closing this complaint as unjustified for the following reasons:

  • Inability to clarify the SOW and/or provide the required documentation to complete the KYC/verification, which means failure to comply with the casino's Terms and Conditions that you accepted upon registration and impossibility to withdraw anything of your winnings
  • Non-cooperation during the complaint resolution process and failure to provide the requested information

As for your last post - this is the information you should have searched for prior to registration and making a deposit to the casino.

If you are unable to provide the casino with the requested documentation for the KYC, it acted in accordance with its terms and conditions.

If you are not satisfied with the complaint solution, I recommend you consult the gambling authority that the casino is regulated by or an ADR, if the casino states it on its website.


Thank you very much, Welle Casino Team, for providing information and for your cooperation!


Best regards,

Branislav, Casino.Guru
