The player from Germany faced excessive document requests for a withdrawal of 1000€ after depositing 200€. They had already provided proof of address, a bank statement, ID, and a selfie with the ID, but the casino then demanded their tax number, which the player found unnecessary and intrusive. The Complaints Team concluded that after reviewing the evidence provided by the casino, it was determined that multiple accounts had been created under the player's name, violating the casino’s terms and conditions. Consequently, the casino was within its rights to confiscate winnings and block all related accounts, leading to the closure of the complaint.

Hello yasin61,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with FavoritoBet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
- Could you please advise since when exactly is the verification process ongoing?
- Which documents have been already approved and which ones not?
- When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
We have experienced a few cases where such document was requested - it simply serves as a proof of income.
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Hello, verification has been running for 2 days, nothing has been approved and it is pending. My withdrawal request was cancelled by the casino, I deposited with Jeton without a bonus and won 1000 and then withdrawn this via Jeton. The casino then said it could not withdraw via Jeton. So then I made a new request via instant bank transfer for 1000 euros, which I then cancelled because I wanted to withdraw more. My 1000 euros that I cancelled during the withdrawal have now disappeared without a trace, stolen by the casino. At the moment I still have a balance of 1200 euros (I may still be playing with this) and the 1000 euros that were stolen from me. I have contacted the chat several times, was never abusive but said that if I don't get my money I will discuss my case on Casinoguru. The chat is now blocked for me and no one answers by email either. I will also present my case to Trustpilot because this is a major rip-off from the casino.

So that you understand correctly, I have 2200 euros in credit, the 1000 euros that suddenly disappeared when I canceled the withdrawal request and the money should have been visible again as credit and 1200 balance.

Just a quick update. I lost my balance, but I want the 1000 euros that I canceled as a withdrawal request from the casino. That means I'm missing 1000 euros that weren't transferred to my casino account balance after I canceled the withdrawal request. For me, this is clearly theft by the casino. The casino isn't responding at all. In summary, 1000 euros were stolen from me, and the casino is refusing to contact me in any way. I would also like to mention that this casino offers various limits. I also set myself a loss, wager and deposit limit. The problem is that you can activate the limit and then delete it again a second later without a cool off. Here are some other little things from the chat history on my screenshots.

Hello yasin61,
I’m sorry to hear that part of your balance is currently unavailable. Please be aware that the funds might be reserved due to the verification process, which can take up to 14 days. I’d recommend waiting until the process is complete.
In the meantime, try reaching out to their email support, as they may be able to provide more information than live chat support.
I’ll await your response once the verification is finished.

Nick

Hello, I contacted the chat about 6 days ago and wrote emails. I haven't received a single reply. The casino is playing cat and mouse. Why don't you ask the casino to answer? That gives the best information, but first the player has to wait forever. I would also like to complain about the non-existent or non-functioning limits. You can set a limit and delete it a second later without a cool off. Is that okay with you? Is that your standard for responsible gaming? I would like to make a new complaint about this as it is a different issue. Because it also concerns several hundred euros that I was able to lose because the casino did not adhere to the limits. The fact that the limits do not work is the casino's fault and not my fault. So I want my 1000 euros and the other hundreds of euros (which have nothing to do with the 1000 euros) to be paid out by the casino as I won it with real money without a bonus.

Hello, I can tell you that waiting won't help. The casino had sent me an email saying "Additional Verification required" without saying why or which documents were involved. I then went into the chat and it just closed straight away without any reason. Later I went into the chat again and it said I should I wrote there and also to the Email, these people don't answer me. That's why waiting is completely the wrong approach, please ask the casino to answer here, why they aren't answering or are delaying and what goal this casino is trying to make such a fuss and carry out such checks after only a 200 euro deposit and a 1000 euro withdrawal. In their terms and conditions, such checks are only mentioned for a much higher sum, but the casino doesn't seem to like it at all that it works the other way around and the player is in the black. Since the casino is refusing to communicate with me, I'm asking you to ask the casino to answer. Anything else would just be pointless.

I've sent you something, that should be enough. I have more too... But! Why do I have to send all this stuff? I'm missing 1000 euros and you can see that above where I uploaded 2 screenshots a week ago, you should contact the casino directly. I don't think it's normal if a player suddenly has 1000 euros missing and the casino hasn't responded for 11 days and hasn't paid out my money. That's my money that I want and there's no argument to give the casino the right to keep it.

Casinoguru team, if you receive evidence, please forward it to my email, I would also like to see this alleged fake evidence and I have a right to do so because it concerns me. The data protection reason does not apply here. It concerns me and the casino and the casino should send this alleged evidence to me too, that is the only way it is transparent and nothing is hidden.
