The player's account got closed due to having multiple accounts. The complaint was resolved as the player could prove his identity and verify her account and was succesfully paid out.
I deposited 180 euros in the casino and won a total of 39638 euros without a bonus. My account was fully verified (incl. selfie with ID) and also confirmed by the chat that everything is fine. On January 29th, 2022, I requested a payout of 4900.00 euros and today, on January 31st, 2022, my account was blocked without giving a reason. I have to mention that a week ago I had the same experience with a win of 700.00 euros at another Dama NV Casino. The account was also simply blocked (allegedly because of a double account), which is not true! I have all the screenshots as proof!
Hello SupiNina,
Thank you very much for submitting a complaint and I'm sorry to hear about your issue with Golden Star Casino. Allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise since when is your account fully verified? Have you made any withdrawals from the casino in the past? Did they specifically mention that they've closed your account due to having multiple accounts and if yes, did the prove it somehow?
Please forward the mentioned screenshots and relevant proof to nikolas.b@casino.guru.
Regards,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Ich habe soeben folgende Email an Golden Star Casino gesendet:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Today I kept to the agreed appointment for the additional Skype verification on 12:00 UTC and I was waiting for you! YOU canceled the appointment 6 minutes before and gave me a new appointment which I will not compete ! I won't be stalled any longer.
My account has already been fully verified and approved by your chat support (screenshot available)
According to your own T&Cs, video verification is only required if the player is unable to upload any documents!
I expect my requested withdrawal about 4900.00 euros within the next 48 hours and the remaining amount about 34738.00 euros within the next 6 weeks!

Mein Antwort an Golden Star Casino:
Dear,
Opaque clauses are ineffective!
And in step 2.12 of your T&Cs it states that the Casino has the right to request additional check for identity verification ON THE WEBSITE. It does not mean that the player needs to install a third-party video program !
After Skype what is the next step that i have to do with theese Opaque clauses ? For example: Fly to Curacao and show them my ID right there?
However ! You try everything to not pay out my winnings and i hope that Casino Guru will help me.
It's really more than sad!

Meine Antwort:
Dear,
This is an excerpt from your data protection and has nothing to do with your actual terms and conditions. It only says that you are allowed to store and use the data that is exchanged via communication channels. And in no case says that the user is obliged to install third-party programs for verification.
From a purely legal point of view, this part (it needs to install a third-party program for verification) would have no place in the data protection declaration anyway, but would have to be listed in the general terms and conditions.

Hello SupiNina,
It is very common that the casino requires a skype verification call, specially if the winnings are such a high amount. I can only recommend to contact the casino with the exact date and time of call so you can do it as soon as possible and receive your winnings if you pass it. You can post it also here, we can let the casino know as well if they would not notice it in time.
Hello Nick,
I had already made an appointment with Golden Star. I installed Skype and waited an hour for Golden Star's Skype call!
Golden Star did not keep the appointment despite a prior promise and made me wait for nothing with Skype switched on.
And I won't let Golden Star Casino humiliate me any further! For no money in the world!
I will not make another appointment via Skype.
If I do not receive my payout despite successful and confirmed verification, I will contact the authorities.
Every effort is made to avoid the payment, even if I agree to a second Skype appointment!
Dear Nick,
It is not meant badly, but could Peter Marko please take a look at my case? Unfortunately, right at the beginning some things were not described correctly by you or you did not read or understand my messages correctly.
Thank you very much
Hello again SupiNina,
Based on your request I've consulted your case with my colleague Peter and we came to the same conclusion. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do unless you chose a new date for the skype verification and go through it. We both believe that 1 skype call is worth that amount of money and there isn't anything humiliating on a verification such as this.
Regards,
Nick
Hello Nick,
Skype video verification took place on 02/08/2022 at 11:00 AM UTC and I am still waiting for my payout.
Many greetings
Giovannina
Hello SupiNina,
Thank you for the information. I will try to get in touch with the casino and find out the verification status.
Dear Nick,
good news ! According to GoldenStar Casino, my account has now been fully verified and the first withdrawal of €4900 has been approved.
I'll get back to you as soon as the money is in my account.
I'm really happy if everything else works smoothly now!
Hello SupiNina,
The casino informed us too and we will now wait for the money to arrive. Until then the complaint will remain open. I will set back the timer on you and please let us know when the money arrives.
Regards,
Nick
