Case closed Our verdict

Regulator: Casino was right

REJECTED

Case summary

6 months ago

The player's withdrawal is being withheld due to ongoing verification. The player is primarily dissatisfied with the fact that the casino did not initiate her identity verification before she was allowed to deposit and play. The casino did not react to the player's complaint and thus, the player was advised to contact the casino's official ADR, which she did. After considering the circumstances, we closed the case as 'Waiting for decision of regulator'. A year later, as the player never updated us on the matter, we reached out to them and inquired about the official complaint. The player informed us that the ADR had ruled in favor of the casino. No further details regarding the decision were provided.

Hello sue1457,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Kwiff Casino. I would like to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Was your account verified in the past in this casino? Did you use any deposit or no deposit bonus to accumulate your balance? How long since you sent your documents to the casino for the first, and the last time?

Please note that we always recommend to player to wait at least 14 days before the money would arrive from the casino, specially if it's the first ever withdrawal request.

Looking forward to your answer and I hope we will be able to help you out.

Regards,

Nick

Dear sue1457,

It is a common procedure in many casinos that they block your account until they verify you. Please just follow their requests and send them all the documents they require. All I can recommend for now is just to wait as it might take up to 14 days to verify you or even send out the money. I will be extending the timer now and please let us know if there will be any update.

I think you have misunderstood what I am saying when I joined and deposit they never asked for ID right away with the two withdrawls it is only the third withdrawl after they asked so why they me allowed to withdrawl twice before ? without any probelms, I gave what they wanted and now my account is locked it will be two weeks they are holding my money they have been sending me adverts to deposit knowing my account is locked !

Dear sue1457,

Please note that it is not an uncommon practice for an online casino to not initiate the verification process until after a player’s sum of deposits or withdrawals surpasses a certain threshold.

Please be informed that we got in touch with a casino representative, however, no relevant information has been shared yet.

 

We would like to ask Kwiff Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close this complaint as ‘unresolved’.

Dear sue1457,

I understand your point. As the casino is licensed by the UKGC, the verification procedure should have been initiated before you were allowed to deposit and play. In this situation, I can recommend contacting the casino’s appointed ADR – eCOGRA. Please let me know if you decide to do so and/or our assistance is needed.

Unfortunately, we still haven’t received a relevant response from the casino.

Dear sue1457,

Of course. I’ll briefly break down the process:

In the first step, you should choose ‘My dispute relates to a gambling transaction and/or misleading terms and conditions’,.

In the second step, choose ‘Yes’.

In the third step, choose ‘My dispute relates to a gambling transaction and/or misleading terms and conditions’.

In the fourth step, you will need to enter your personal details, choose the name of the casino, and describe when and what happened, as thoroughly as possible. As for the ‘Operator Internal Complaints Reference’ field, copy and paste the following link: https://corporate.kwiff.com/terms-conditions/

The requirements in the fifth (and final) step should be self-explanatory.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, sue1457, for the update. As you’ve successfully submitted your complaint to the casino’s official ADR, we will now close this case as ‘Unresolved – Waiting for decision of regulator’.

Please keep us posted on any updates. My e-mail address is andrej.p@casino.guru. Once the official ADR provides a statement, we will classify this complaint accordingly.

The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.

Dear sue1427,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to follow up on your case, which was marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website some time ago. We were wondering if there have been any updates or resolutions since our last conversation.

If your case has been resolved by the ADR, we kindly request you to forward their official statement to andrej.p@casino.guru. On the other hand, if the ruling was in favor of the casino, it would still be incredibly helpful for us to know. We understand that it has been a while, but updating your complaint will allow us to either issue black points to the casino (if the ruling was in your favor) or warn other players and users about cases where the ADR/Authority supports the operator.

We truly appreciate your cooperation, and your response would be of great assistance to us. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Andrej, Casino Guru

Hi sue1457,


I wanted to inform you that since Andrej, your assigned resolver, is currently on vacation, I have decided to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Given that Andrej possesses the most comprehensive understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, I believe this extension is warranted. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and I assure you that Andrej will reach out to you as soon as he's back from vacation.


Thank you for your understanding and continued patience.

Thank you, sue1457, for the update. I’m sorry to hear about the outcome, but please understand that if the ADR decided in favor of the casino, the likelihood that there was a good reason why the casino withheld your winnings is high.

Have you received any additional information/reasoning from eCOGRA? If so, please forward it to andrej.p@casino.guru, or alternatively, feel free to post it in this thread.

Furthermore, do I understand correctly that you currently reside and have previously resided in the United Kingdom, but do not hold an official ID? Did you have one at the time this issue arose? Did you send all requested documentation, including a photo of your ID, to the casino back then?

Notwithstanding, if despite everything it seems that to proceed with the verification process, all you need to do is send a photo of your ID to the casino, I strongly recommend following through.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear sue1457,

According to the requirements stemming from the casino’s regulations, the casino is (and was) allowed to allow players to deposit, play, and withdraw before initiating additional verification procedures. Please note that this is standard in the industry. Most online casinos won’t ask you to provide any documents unless, from the casino’s point of view, there’s a reason for such a request. An online casino has the right to initiate the KYC process at any moment – most likely after you’ve won a larger sum and/or requested a withdrawal, the total sum of your deposits exceeds a certain threshold, or in general, when an inconsistency of any sort regarding your gaming account is detected.

I’m sorry, I understand your point of view, but we cannot penalize the casino for not initiating the verification procedure sooner.

I’m sure that after you get your ID, all necessary information will be in place, and as long as you have played by the rules, the casino will process your withdrawal.

I hope for your understanding in this regard.
