Case summary

2 years ago

The player from the United Kingdom was experiencing difficulties withdrawing his winnings due to ongoing verification. The casino stated that the player had opened multiple accounts, but would only supply evidence to their official ADR service so the player submitted a complaint to them also. This complaint was therefore closed temporarily whilst we awaited the decision of the regulator. After some time, the casino requested that the complaint be reopened as the ADR's investigation had reached a conclusion. It was decided that as the player could not satisfy the casino’s verification check, they were fully entitled to close the customer’s account and confiscate his winnings. The player confirmed this was the decision and so the complaint was rejected.

Dear Jamal,

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.

Do I understand correctly that providing a utility bill seems to be the only obstacle standing between you and your winnings? Have you submitted all the other personal documents required for the verification?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Petronela

Dear Jamal,


I have so far received no response from the casino, I will attempt to contact them once more.


We would like to ask Duelz 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, the complaint will become ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Jamal,


The casino has stated that you have more than one account but is only able to provide evidence to their official ADR service. As such, there isn't anything more we can achieve. I therefore recommend you to contact the IBAS - Alternative Dispute Resolution service (https://www.ibas-uk.com/consumers/register-with-ibas/) and submit a complaint to them. Please let me know when you have done this (or if you need help doing this) and I will close this complaint as 'Waiting for the regulator's decision'. When the ADR service reaches a decision we can update this complaint accordingly.


Best regards,

Adam

Before we can consider the issue, you will first need to explain to Duelz customer service that you are coming to Ibas and we have asked you to get a final decision to demonstrate that you have completed their complaints procedure.

You can now contact the IBAS to submit your complaint and include that e-mail from the casino as the "final response" that was requested.
