Shameful!!! I have been playing at LeoVegas casino for more than 8 months, I will have gambled a total of 50-60 euros and lost it all. My personal contact person calls me (being a VIP customer) and says they need documents proving my income. I send him: bank statement for the whole of 2022, showing a loan of 75,000 euros from my sister, a preliminary sale of another place for 40,000 euros, plus other loans from friends and relatives. Not happy with all this pile of documents, they doubt the origin of the loans and ask me for a pay slip which I haven't had since October as my company is for sale. Now exasperated I tell my contact person that I will contact a lawyer or some consumer association. He calls me back but I don't answer him. Then I never heard from him again. I think the technique is this: once the chicken is plucked we kill it, by now it has left us a lot of money. Same thing happened last year with the 888 casino. I ask you for advice: what should I do? Does this happen in all casinos, or only in the Italian AMS ones? It seems to me an extreme injustice to have produced all that strictly personal documentation to find myself still with the blocked account. On Pokerstar I have played and won for tens of thousands of euros and they have never asked me for further documentation.

Dear loziopippo,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please understand that the requested information is necessary for the casino to make sure that your funds have been obtained legally and that you have enough funds to participate in the betting. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Regulations for the Gaming and Gambling Industry are usually set by the Licensing Authority and all the licensed casinos have to comply and follow these policies. It seems that the casino has a strict verification process, but it's not unusual.
That’s why we advise players to fully cooperate with casinos and provide all the required documents as soon as possible.
Could you please advise how much was the active balance in the time of your account's closure? Are there any funds being held by the casino?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela

Thanks for the reply.
It seems to me (and it is objectively indisputable) that I have provided all the documentation they requested. The balance in my bank account was 600 euros. There are no funds held on the casino. The illogicality of their behavior, in my opinion, is because they ask me for the documentation only after having arrived to play 50-60 thousand euros and not after the first 20-30 thousand played. The money I spent is all documented and "traceable" on my account statements (I also provided PostaPay), there is no rational explanation for blocking my account, taking into consideration the regulations imposed by the AML.
Joseph.

Thank you, loziopippo, for your reply. Do I understand correctly that your casino account was blocked with no funds being held? Do I have your permission to change the disputed amount from €60,000 to €0?
Please understand that if there are no funds being held by the casino there's not much we can do. Casinos in general have the right to limit or block completely players' accounts. Either for unsatisfactory KYC verification, rules breach, or for no reason at all. As long as all the winnings are paid and no balance is withheld, we do accept account closure without further explanation.
Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint as unjustified. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.

Unfortunately, we’re rejecting this case because the player hasn’t responded to our messages and questions. Therefore, we’re not able to proceed with further investigation or suggest possible solutions.
The player can reopen this complaint anytime.
PS: I have adjusted the disputed amount from €60,000 to €0 since there are no funds being held by the casino.
