Case summary

3 weeks ago

The player from Spain, who was residing in Morocco at the time, had registered at Europa Casino. After he provided the required documents, the casino had tried to close the account with 170,000 euros in credit. The player, who held dual Spanish and Moroccan nationality, had provided documentation from both countries. However, the casino did not approve of the Spanish documents and asked for Moroccan ones. The player had insisted that his permanent residence was in Spain, but he was in Morocco for vacation at the time. The casino had decided to escalate the issue to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The Complaints team had advised the player to contact the ADR and had provided guidance on the process. The case was closed as "rejected" since the player stopped responding.

Hello, I signed up from Morocco at the Europa Casino in Malta while only on vacation and submitted my documents from Spain, where I actually reside with Spanish nationality. They asked me to send any document from Morocco, which I did. Now they want to close my account with 170,000 euros in it. This is outrageous.

Dear Cracc12,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Could you kindly provide clarification on the country of your permanent residency?
  • Additionally, could you specify the country you indicated during the registration of your casino account and the one reflected on your personal documents?

If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

My permanent residence is Spain. I have a Spanish ID. I registered from Morocco in the Europa casino and entered the address of Spain.

I sent them my ID and driving license, a Spanish bank statement, then they told me that if I have a document from Morocco, I sent them too, but my permanent residence is in Spain.

Additional comments from the player:


Hello, my permanent residence is in Spain, I sent you my ID, driving license, bank card and a Spanish certificate of ownership. Then, as you have seen, I registered from Morocco because I am on vacation for a month and then I return to Spain.
They asked me for a document from Morocco, I sent him one just for this reason he wants to close my account with 170 thousand euros
It can't be like that

Let's consolidate, shall we? Can you verify the following details?:

  • Your permanent residency is in Spain.
  • Your nationality is Spanish.
  • Your personal documents, such as your ID, driving license, and bank statement, have been issued in Spain.
  • Your current stay in Morocco is solely for vacation purposes.

I sincerely apologize, but your Spanish documents did not receive approval for verification (as the screenshot from the casino suggests). While they were acknowledged upon receipt, you were requested to submit documents from Morocco to confirm your current residence. Unfortunately, this appears to be impractical as your visit to Morocco was solely for vacation purposes. Is my understanding accurate?

I attempted to create an account by specifying Madrid as my hometown, and this is the notification I received. Did you also receive any notifications when providing your Spanish address during the registration process?

If you resided in Morocco and could furnish utility bills and proof of address from Morocco, the situation would be different. As you mentioned earlier, your presence in Morocco was solely for a holiday. In my previous message, I mentioned attempting to create an account by indicating Madrid as my hometown, and the notification I received is outlined.

If I need to make a claim because they are big profits, I speak in Arabic Spanish, they contact me in English and we were not able to clarify anything. I live in Morocco, I have dual Spanish Moroccan nationality and I live and reside in Morocco, so I am legally fine, only that I provide Spanish documentation. to them and the address because I thought it would go the same, nothing happened, the account is well done and I have my Moroccan Documentation to verify and I have my house where I reside in Morocco right now

Dear Cracc12,


I apologize for the situation, but since the casino team wants to escalate this case directly to the ADR, possibly involving the regulator, I strongly advise you to take these steps. I understand that it may be challenging for you, but I can guide you through the entire process and handle all the translations for you. Are you open to contacting the ADR? I highly recommend that you do so.

I will close the case and guide you through the entire process of how you should proceed with ADR and possibly with the licensing authority. Meanwhile, the case will be closed as waiting for the regulator's decision. Do you agree?

If you disagree, I will continue gathering information and evidence from your end. We will discuss it internally and then express our position on the case. However, this would not change anything as the casino intends to take this directly to the ADR. My recommendation is to take this to ADR, possibly to the licensor afterward. Then we would reopen this case from the classification "waiting for regulator", gather all the information, express our opinion, and close it accordingly. I will gladly help you with the whole process.

Based on the casino statement, they provided you with contact details for their ADR. Then you should contact them.


Basic info that should not be missed:

-full name

-casino name with link

-your login (username) and registration email

-detailed and chronological explanation of what exactly happened

-do not forget about all possible attachments (evidence|

 

Please, could you confirm that you are going to reach the casino's official ADR?
