Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Germany had been struggling with Lunubet Sports Betting to verify their account and withdraw €400 for over 15 days. Each time the player fulfilled a requirement, the casino provided a new one, leading to a frustrating cycle of unsuccessful attempts. We intervened by contacting the casino and reviewing the player's provided documents and video proof. Despite initial doubts about document authenticity, the casino agreed to make an exception and processed the player's withdrawal without full verification. The player confirmed receiving their money, resolving the issue.

Hello, I hope that this will resolve something.

This complaint is about Lunubet Sports Betting.


For 15 days now, Lunubet has been inventing new reasons why they can't verify me. I just want to withdraw €400 and leave their platform.


Every time I fulfill their requirements, they ask for something else.


For example:


I uploaded my ID and an address confirmation from a letter I received from my insurance company.


They told me to upload the documents from Germany without a VPN - I did, but nothing happened.


When I asked them why it's taking so long, suddenly they demanded a different form of address confirmation. So, I uploaded a letter from the financial authority in Germany, but they rejected it.


Ok, I thought, I’ll ask the city of Berlin to confirm my address in a letter. I received the letter in a PDF. Lunubet said that would be fine, but upon uploading, there was no response. I asked them via email and received the most absurd request that made no sense, and so now I am seeking help.


They're now demanding a Word document, not a PDF.


When I question this, they apologize for the automated message???

This all seems like a repeating game to me.

Am I supposed to upload the PDF like before without any reference to what was wrong?


It all seems pointless and we're going in circles.

What should I do?

In my situation, €400 is a lot of money :(

Dear hilfebitte,

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 take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.

  • Could you please list which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one?
  • Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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,

Tomas

Thanks for your messages.

I believe the casino won't accept your proof of address if it's a letter from your insurance company, as these kinds of documents are not usually accepted.

Are there any other documents you might provide to the casino, that would satisfy the conditions set up by the casino?

Please understand that verification is necessary when requesting a withdrawal, and we can't argue against the casino skipping the process, once it has already begun.

I'll await your reply.

Yes, as already mentioned, the last proof is from the state


- Proof of address confirmation from the state of Berlin (2 days old) - 3 days ago


I'm sure I can provide a lot more evidence, but it won't be accepted - that's the reason and nobody will tell me why.

Hi hilfebitte,

I've just reviewed your case and am sorry to hear about your struggles with verification. I will try to help you by contacting the casino. We'll see what can be done when they reply.


Dear LunuBet Casino, I'd like to invite you to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of the player's complaint. Could you please share more information regarding the case? Would you please specify if you have already received documents for proof of address from the player? Have you reviewed them, were some details missing?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. In case of any supporting evidence, feel free to send it to my email natalia.b@casino.guru.

Kind regards,

Natalia

Dear all,


Hope you are doing well.


We would like to inform you that the proof of address submitted by the player has been edited and we are unable to accept modified documents. We require an original PDF file, such as: Bank statement, bank letter, utility bills such as: Gas/water/electricity, any government document etc.

As a rule, we do not accept documents that have been edited with the Microsoft Office Word text editor. In our case, this software was used so we cannot be 100% sure that it is an original, so we play it safe and only accept originals. If you wish, we can provide the appropriate screenshots and files to your email to prove that this is the player file and that it was created or modified in Microsoft Word (you can check the file history using Adobe Acrobat).


We hope for your understanding and cooperation.


Best wishes,

LunuBet Casino Representative

But that's not true? I downloaded it from the website and uploaded it.


I don't understand why Word shows it?

It is possible that the office uses Word to enter the data and then converts it to PDF?


Is there any way I can send the file here again so that only Casinoguru and you can see it?


Your system is broken anyway, you have already apologized to me and admitted it, for example with the bonus calculation etc.


Is there a way to verify it manually via email?

Thank you, LunuBet Casino. We have received the document from the player previously, and after checking the document properties, I can see the mention of Microsoft Office Word, too.


Dear hilfebitte, would you please specify, how you requested the City of Berlin to provide you with the above-mentioned letter? Have you received it from their official email? If yes, would you please forward this email (my email is natalia.b@casino.guru)? Or have you downloaded it from somewhere?

Additionally, do you have any alternative documents, e.g. any bank statements where your address is mentioned? Or utility bills, in case it's your property and you pay the bills. If you rent the flat, maybe you have an official rent agreement?

Hi, Natalia thanks for the answer!

I just requested the same thing again and recorded it.

I have sent this video of the application and the new document to the email address.


Nothing is sent, I can only download the file.


I don't pay for electricity and gas because I live in my grandfather's apartment.

There is no address on my bank statement for data protection reasons. I have attached a screenshot.


We have drawn up a rental agreement, but the documents are somewhere and difficult to find.

I would prefer if we could solve this differently.

If I was promised that if I sent the rental agreement I would be verified immediately, I would do this work, otherwise not.


Best regards

Thank you for the additional details, hilfebitte.


Dear LunuBet Casino, I have received the screen recording from the player, in which it can be seen that he downloaded the document from his account on service.berlin.de. Let me know if you want me to forward this video or if the player can send the recording on his own so that you can evaluate it and consider it as proof of the document's validity.

We will agree to review the player's video, so we ask you to send us the video to support@lunubet.com. Also, we would like to ask you if you have checked whether the video has been edited and if you have checked the metadata of this video?

We hope for your understanding and cooperation.

This reaction is crazy, I have never experienced anything like this in my life and I have probably tried 40 bookmakers.

"Check if the video was faked"

How can you be so suspicious?


As if it would be worth it to put in so much effort just to cash out some money where you also have to be lucky.

I really don't understand and at this point it should be clear that the casino is not interested in solving it simply and sensibly.

Luckily there is Casinoguru 🙏.

Dear LunuBet Casino, I sent you a reply on Friday 31/5/2024. Please, let me know if you have any further comments.


Dear hilfebitte, just to keep you updated: the casino expressed certain suspicions regarding the name of the document, though it didn't provide any feedback regarding the content of the recording itself, therefore we'll need some more time for a discussion.

Dear all,


Hope you are doing well.


Based on our procedures for accepting documents, unfortunately, we are unable to verify an account if we have doubts about the authenticity of the document. However, as an exception in this situation, we may pay funds on the balance to the client and approve withdrawals for an unverified account for the first time. 


Please note that if the client does not provide another document, the account cannot be verified and we will insist on another document to confirm the client's address for further processing of withdrawals that exceed the balance.


Dear Hilfebitte, please let us know when you will make a withdrawal request.


Best wishes,

LunuBet Casino Representative
