Joker8 Casino - Player experiences withdrawal delay due to unfinished verification.

Since the moment I requested a withdrawal of 500 euros, this casino began to act strangely and, I would say, criminally. It was August when after more than 10 days, my withdrawal was rejected and verification was requested. They ask for 5 documents, of which the first 2, the ID photo and a selfie with the ID, were accepted relatively quickly. The remaining 3 documents have been rejected to this day. They ask for photos of my debit card and initially rejected them because some of the letters of my name were obscured, even though Winsane Casino had accepted the exact same photos. After much effort, while communicating with the support team, which is honestly the worst of all the casinos I have visited, they told me to send a bank statement. On September 5th, I obtained said statement signed by the bank in PDF format, and they rejected it without telling me the reason, either through live chat or email. For my address, I sent the same document that was accepted at Winsane Casino from my bank, with the difference that here I did not obscure my tax number because they do not accept edited documents. I also sent the transaction history requested in PDF from the bank, but it was again rejected without reason. They almost never respond to emails, and if they do, they say exactly what the verification page states, as if I don't know how to read. Regarding live chat, I would say it is absolutely useless. Again today, I asked them to tell me the reason for the rejection and they kept me waiting for an hour and a half without providing an answer. The reason it took so long is because I made it clear from the beginning that I didn't want to be told to send an email to find out, and when the time came, I asked for the full name to file a complaint in case they don't send it (because they never do) for false information, and for this reason, they kept me waiting for another half hour before disconnecting.

Dear dpoulios21, 

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 take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

Could you please forward me the three documents that you uploaded to your casino profile for verification on 9 October? My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru.

Have you submitted all the required documents in the correct format, including all the information requested by the verification department?

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, 

Veronika
