The player from Germany is experiencing difficulties withdrawing her winnings due to ongoing verification. We ended up rejecting this complaint as the player decided to play over and lost the disputed amount before we could solve the complaint so this complaint became not relevant anymore.

Casino keeps asking for new documents. Once they have been uploaded, new documents are required again. Support not helpful.

Dear karina_69,

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.

Have you been informed what specifically seems to be a problem in verifying your account?

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

Good day,

Verification worked after several attempts. Then evidence would be required. I loaded it. Then I got an email that I was fully verified. Then I wanted to withdraw the money. New documents were required. I also uploaded them, and then new documents from last year were requested.

Hello karina_69,

I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite King Billy Casino to join the conversation.


Dear King Billy Casino,

Can you please provide more information regarding the player's verification issues? Do you require any additional documents from the player to finish the KYC process or what is the reason for the delay?

Hello Michael,


Verification is not the problem. New receipts are always required for payment. Receipts of deposits in the last year that no longer play any role

Dear Karina,


One of the payment methods was confirmed and your account was verified, but, as additional documents, our payment department decided to request proof of other payment methods from you as well.

We need to make sure that all your payment methods belong to your bank account. Any payment method must be verified.


Our team has sent you an email with all the details.


Kind regards,

The King Billy Team

Thank you for the response King Billy Team.


Dear karina_69,

As per the King Billy Team response and as a part of the KYC and AML, the casinos are entitled to request the players to verify every payment method they used for deposits or withdrawals. None of the licensed casinos takes KYC or AML lightly. I can only recommend you to please follow the steps mentioned in the email sent to you by the casinos.

I uploaded what was requested. After uploading, however, new documents are repeatedly required that were not previously required. You only have to look at the real recessions, I'm not the only one with this problem. Why are documents from last year required? And if you upload it, are other documents from last year required? Why isn't an age check made when you pay in? You can deposit without being checked.

Dear karina_69,

I understand that these processes can be sometimes frustrating, but the casinos need to follow rules and regulations as well, so although I can empathize with you that the whole process can be done more user-friendly or quicker, it is a standard procedure that the casinos are entitled to.

I can only advise you to please provide the required documents, as I'm afraid that without the payment method verification, we won't be able to move your withdrawal process forward.

Yes is OK. As I said, I uploaded the receipts. But King Billy wants receipts from my skill wallet. But I didn't have that at the time, everything went through immediate transfer and I uploaded it. I think it's pointless. We can close this. Thanks

Dear karina_69,

Just to clarify, you have been asked by the casino to provide proof of a payment method you don't have?

The casino wants a statement from the skill wallet. But I only used Skill as a service provider for an instant transfer. I never had an account with Skill.

file it says you can use it to deposit at the casino. But that's not correct. Immediately, visa, MasterCard, none of that works at all. We not even offered. Only skill works immediately, and you don't need a wallet for that

Dear karina_69,

The variety and accessibility of payment methods are not managed by the casino exclusively. Several factors as the Licensing Authority, geolocation, contracts with the payment providers, and bank restrictions, all have a major influence. If a payment method was available for deposits, it doesn’t mean necessarily, that it will be offered for withdrawals too, also it can be discontinued at any time. Unfortunately, casinos are sometimes powerless and limited in offering all available payment methods to all their customers.

Sadly, as you decided to play over your balance before we could solve your complaint, I'm afraid there is not much else that can be done from our side to help you at the moment. I understand that waiting for the withdrawal can be frustrating, and ideally, we would like to see the withdrawals being processed within a couple of hours, but as I and my colleague Petronela mentioned, the casinos need to do KYC and AML checks before every withdrawal, and as you can imagine, this takes time.

Unfortunately, as you have decided to play over your money, we’re not able to proceed with a further investigation or suggest possible solutions and have no choice but to reject this complaint.

Sorry we were not able to help you with this one, but please do not hesitate to contact us in the future if you run into any issues with this or any other casino, and we will try our best to help.

Best regards,

Michal
