The player from the Netherlands was experiencing difficulties withdrawing his winnings due to ongoing verification. We ended up rejecting the complaint because the player stopped responding.
Hello, I've been playing at Live.Casino for a long time and I've only lost so far. One day I won and wanted to pay out my money. I asked beforehand whether I'd verified everything and my customer service said yes (the log is with me), so now I wanted to I withdraw and the casino asks me for my payslip for the last 6 months.
I said I'm 20 and still a student. I've had a job as a mini job at the gas station for 2 months, so I was able to offer payroll for 2 months.
Now they hold me up for days and don't pay me…. I need urgent help
Dear hosseinkarimi11,
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 licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.
Do I understand correctly that providing Proof of Income seems to be the only obstacle standing between you and your winnings? Have you submitted all the other personal documents required for the verification?
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela
Hello I am a player from Germany but am currently in Netherlands.
They need the last 6 monthly salaries (proof) from me, but I am a student and have only been working for 2 months.
And you need an account statement for the last 6 months, but I can only offer you a statement for the last 4 months, since I have only opened my account for 4 months.
Thank you very much for the help, unfortunately I have never had such a case with KYC live casino is not cooperative and insists on getting it for the last 6 months even though I don't have it.
Cheers Hossein
Thank you very much, hosseinkarimi11, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hi hosseinkarimi11,
I have looked at your case and understand the situation. Let me contact the casino and I will do my best to help. I would like to invite Live Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.
We would like to ask the 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 the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.
Hi hosseinkarimi11,
I tried to get in touch with the casino repeatedly but without success. I’m afraid, there is not much that can be done without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Pogg – the casino's alternative dispute resolution service (omplaints@thepogg.com), and submit a complaint to them. The next step would be contacting the MGA itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/). Please let me know how the ADR responded (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help.
Best regards,
Peter
We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of Live Casino. We would like to allow this case one more chance to be resolved and help both parties involved to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Hello,
You have been asked to provide evidence of your income to proof source of money you deposited in the casino. Unfortunately what you have provided was not satisfactory for our AML team, documents haven't been approved and your withdrawal request was rejected. From our side everything was processed according to regulations.
All the best.
Live Casino
Dear hosseinkarimi11,
We received a bit more detailed explanation of the situation from the casino. Since the anti-money laundering regulation is getting more and more strict, the casinos have to comply with these rules and players have to provide relevant documents for verification. According to the casino, the documents you sent were insufficient. Have you contacted the ADR or the Malta gaming authority?
I'm in talks with my attorney and we're going to file a lawsuit.
I understand your decision but I'm not sure about the results considering the possible costs and comparing them with the disputed amount. Have you contacted the Pogg and the MGA?
