The player from Germany faced issues with document verification for his account, as the casino rejected his bank statements and electricity bill despite their validity. He sought assistance in completing the verification process to withdraw his funds. The issue was resolved when his account was verified, and he successfully received his withdrawal. However, the player later reported that his account had been permanently blocked without explanation, and the Complaints Team clarified that they could not assist further since the account had no real money balance at closure.

Hello, the casino is rejecting all documents used to verify my account. Bank statements because I have an online bank account, even though they clearly show everything. My electricity bill is also being rejected because it doesn't contain any usage data. I need help verifying my account. I've been playing at online casinos for a long time, but I've never experienced anything like this before.

Dear Heiko004,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.
Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly, and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.
- Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one?
- Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and in the correct format?
- Have you received any specific reasons from the casino for rejecting your documents?
- Did you reach out to the casino's customer support regarding this issue? If so, what was their response?
- Have you tried resubmitting the documents in a different format, or providing additional supporting documents?
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Natalia

Good, I sent everything in the correct format. I already sent a bank statement, but it was rejected because it's an online bank. Then I sent a current and correct electricity bill, but it was rejected because it didn't contain any consumption data. Then I sent the utility bill for my apartment with consumption data, but it was rejected because the utility bill is from 2024, but was issued on March 14, 2025, so it's actually no older than 90 days and actually from 2025. Then I sent a current bank statement from another bank, but it was also rejected. It's not even possible to pass the KYC process because the casino rejected all documents.

Thank you very much, Heiko004. As I can see, the casino support informed you about the necessity to provide a valid proof of address document. Have you provided a utility bill that shows the consumption? Can you please explain what you meant by saying it's from 2024 but was issued on March 14, 2025?
Please specify if you have provided the casino with another bank statement from a physical bank instead of the previous digital bank.
Thank you in advance.

Hello, I only have a physical bank, which means this document contains all the data exactly as requested. A utility bill, at least in Germany, means you get your water and heating usage for the following year. The usage is from 2024, but it was delivered in 2025 and is no older than 90 days. This casino is trying with all its might to reject payments or make it so difficult that you lose your winnings. How this casino got such a good rating from you is a mystery to me.

The account is supposedly verified now, but my withdrawal has been waiting for well over 72 hours. Casino Guru should update its rating, or are you getting paid for this good review?

I received the money, but my account was permanently blocked without any explanation. I asked in live chat, and this was the response:
We understand this may be disappointing, but the account has been permanently closed due to an administrative decision. This decision cannot be changed; we appreciate your understanding.
We wish you all the best, and please don't hesitate to contact us if you need further support.
Just because you file a complaint your account is permanently blocked. I find that just as dubious. Unlike the casino, I didn't violate any terms and conditions.

Dear Heiko004, thank you for confirming that you received your withdrawal. Since your initial problem with the delayed withdrawal due to unfinished KYC was solved, I'll mark the complaint as resolved in our system.
I understand your frustration regarding the closure of your account. However, we are unable to provide further assistance in this matter. Please be aware that online casinos, like other service providers, have the right to decide whom they offer their services to. Our role is to support players whose accounts were closed without explanation and who had funds confiscated. Since your account did not have a real money balance, we cannot require the casino to reopen it. If you wish to continue playing, you might want to consider using a different platform.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation throughout the process, and please do not hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future. We are here to help.
Best regards,
Natalia
