Case summary

11 months ago

The player from Sweden had experienced issues with account verification at the casino. Despite having submitted all requested documents including a picture of the bank card used, proof of residence, and a photo holding the passport with a piece of paper stating the date and company title, the casino had rejected the submissions mostly due to format and clarity. We had provided advice on the importance of KYC and asked for more details about the documents submitted. However, due to a lack of response from the player, we were unable to proceed with the investigation and had to reject the complaint.

I'm having a problem with verification. My account number with LEON is 78453149.


I completed their automatic KYC verification and received an email stating that the verification went through successfully.


Upon receiving the email confirming my successful KYC verification, they sent out an email requiring me to submit pictures of the bank card used for transactions. I complied.


Subsequently, they requested me to submit a picture confirming my residential address. This step had not been asked for in the previous step, but I obliged nonetheless. LEON, however, rejected this, stating that it wasn't sent in a PDF format. However, they hadn't specified any file format in their initial email, and a picture of this sort was also part of the original KYC verification process which was approved.


I resubmitted the requested material, this time voluntarily enclosing an additional picture of my passport. Surprisingly, they asked me to submit a picture of myself holding both my passport and a piece of paper with the current date and company title, and to also include a screenshot showing my account. This requirement was not mentioned in their original instructions. They also stated that they had attached an example picture, but there was no file attached to the message.


I once again complied and sent in the files. However, they sent out another message stating that the passport was unclear and not sufficiently visible in the picture. This is perplexing considering the difficulty I had trying to get a clear image using an ordinary mobile phone with so many objects that need to be clearly visible, and also taking into account that I had already sent in pictures of my passport during the initially approved automatic verification and voluntarily after previous messages.


I have available screen captures and images that exceed the 5MB limit for attachments.

Dear nintendovgyt, 

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 can 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 advise which of the documents that you provided have already been approved? When exactly did you send the last document? Have you tried taking your photograph with your passport in a higher resolution and quality? Please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino to veronika.l@casino.guru.

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
