REJECTED

Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Croatia had his account with a balance of 661 EUR blocked and was forced to undergo a verification process. Despite providing two valid ID documents and a proof of address, including a selfie with the last email opened, the casino rejected the driver's license, claiming it was expired, and eventually blocked the account, seemingly to avoid paying the winnings. The Complaints Team had engaged with the casino for clarification, but the casino asserted that the player had provided forged documents, which led to the account closure. The casino was unable to provide further details due to privacy policies, requiring a notarized power of attorney to assist the player further. Ultimately, the player did not respond to requests for additional information, resulting in the rejection of the complaint.

Hello,

This casino is doing everything to not pay winnings, delay kyc process and reject documents with no reasonable reasons.


My account with 661EUR balance got blocked and force to pass verification, They requested from me 2 ID documents and address proof, I provided them ID card, Driver license and bill.


First they rejected my Driver license due " document is expired " when it is valid untill 2029 and requested other document. After explanation document is still valid they requested from me, selfie with last mail opened on any device, which I provided too.


All documents they requested, were provided so far but

2 days ago I got mail that they block my account.

After rejecting valid document due "expiration" I think they just don't want to accept my kyc and pay me winnings.

Hello

Today I got email that they closed my account in accordance with Paragraph 1.4.5

Regarding your questions

All documents were provided but there was no return information if they were verified.

I was betting on sports.


I don't understand this decision, I followed everything they required, I didn't violated any of those terms in my opinion and I would never even think about it.


Is there any chance of recovering the full balance amount over this dispute?

I have checked the Terms and Conditions, and this is what I found under Paragraph 1.4.5:

It is each individual customer’s responsibility to ensure that the personal details provided at registration are correct. Marathonbet.com reserves the right to close, suspend and void, fully or partially, any bets if the personal details provided are found to be incorrect.

Could you please confirm if the personal details you submitted during registration are the same as the personal details on your identity documents and utility bills?

Could you kindly forward me the documents you sent to the casino for verification? My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru.

Hello

I think everything was correct, if there was any missmatch between documents and account data then It was not done on purpose and I'm not even aware of that.

but I would like to remind that their verification has been saying that my driver license was expired when it is still valid for next few years so it is kinda weird reason of the closure and even verification problems.

I sent you an email with all documents that were uploaded to marathonbet.

Dear Kubo,

During the verification procedure, the client provided forged documents (every single one of them). For this reason Marathonbet decided to close the client's game account in accordance with clause 1.4.5 of the Rules.

Dear Marathonbet,

Thank you for your message.


Dear hrvpro,

The casino is unable to provide any details regarding your case due to their Privacy policy. To gather the necessary additional information and evidence, we require a notarized power of attorney signed by you. This will enable us to assist you further.

If you agree to this process and are willing to provide a notarized power of attorney, I will send you the form via email. Please be aware that notary or solicitor services typically incur additional costs, which you will need to cover, as they are generally not free. Without the power of attorney, our ability to assist you will be extremely limited.

Please let me know if you wish to pursue your case further.
