Hello, I registered at mBitcasino on 20.07.23.
I deposited 0.4 ETH with a 175% bonus on the deposit.
I was extremely lucky and won just about 150k USD.
After implementing the bonus, I had 78 ETH in my balance.
I requested a withdrawal of 10 ETH, but it was rejected.
I received an email asking me to upload documents. I uploaded all the documents soon after; my passport, proof of address, and a selfie with my passport and note.
I was told via email that they would get back to me within 24 hours, but it took longer. Then on Friday, I was informed that they wanted to do a Skype call to finalize the verification with me.
I wanted to make the call as soon as possible so that it could be finalized. On Monday, I was informed that it was too short notice and had to be scheduled a few days in advance. The call was made on Wednesday.
I was asked many questions about the games I played and about my personal data. I answered all the questions and held my ID and passport to the camera while they could see me on camera.
2 minutes after the call ended, they wrote to me stating there was a problem and the call needed to be repeated. 5 minutes later, the call was repeated and I was asked even more questions.
I answered all the questions and the call ended after 15 minutes. They told me I would receive an email as soon as it was reviewed.
That evening, I tried to log into my account and was horrified to find that my account was locked. I sent an email asking why my account was locked. The next morning, I was told that my account would remain locked until the verification was still under review.
A few hours later, I tried to log into my account again and it was unlocked. I again requested a withdrawal of 10 ETH.
2 hours later, my account was again locked. I didn't receive any email about this. I noticed it because I tried to log in.
This morning, I was informed via email that I did not pass the verification and therefore they are confiscating all my winnings.
I asked them directly why I did not pass the verification and was only told "wrong personal data" as a reason.
They didn't respond to any further questions asking what exactly they mean.
I am extremely shocked and can't believe that everything is being done to avoid paying out my win.
This is a life-changing amount for me and I really need your help, Casino Guru.
The casino received all the requested documents from me and I answered all the questions during the Skype call.
I played with a bonus and didn't violate any terms. I didn't play any forbidden games and I didn't rotate too high with the bonus.
Please help me.

Do I understand correctly that prior to starting verification in the casino, you didn't fill your player profile with personal information?

Hello Tomas, thanks for the quick reply.
When registering, I was only asked to choose an email address and a password. After requesting a withdrawal, the casino asked me to upload my passport, proof of address and selfie with passport and note. I uploaded all the documents in no time.
After 2 days they told me they want to make a Skype verification call to complete the verification. I made the call with the casino and answered all of their questions and held my passport up to the camera.
After 2 days I just got the email that my verification failed and therefore all winnings will be confiscated.
I assure you that all data is correct and that I only have this one account and have not violated any other terms and conditions.
I feel extremely betrayed and hope you can help me please. That's a life-changing sum.
