The player from Germany was experiencing difficulties withdrawing his winnings due to an ongoing verification. After receiving a response from the casino, we ended up rejecting the complaint because the player stopped responding.
I have an account at Megaslot. On October 23rd, 2022 I deposited €20 via Paysafe-Card and then played. It added up to an amount of around €2000, which I wanted to have partially paid out. I have uploaded the documents required for the required verification and these have been accepted. The payment requested again was rejected again (see attachment). It's totally nonsensical to ask for such proof when making a Paysafecard payment. That's bordering on fraud.
Dear worthi,
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 takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.
Do I understand correctly that verifying the payment method 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
The problem is that they still want a confirmation of the Paysafe Card deposit from me. How does that work?
Here is some information about the process.
Account verification has been completed. For the withdrawal I want, I am asked to provide proof of the deposit of €20 on November 23, 2022. I don't understand that because I received an e-mail from Megaslot about the booking. How should I provide the required proof of name, time and account for Paysafe Card payments?
Overall it's all very annoying. You're lucky and then you'll be cheated. I can't understand the good reviews.
I hope to hear from you and thank you very much.
Thank you very much, worthi, 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 worthi,
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 Megaslot Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.
Hello worthi,
I understand that the situation is confusing, and you may be frustrated. So let's make everything clear.
We're the licensed casino and operating accordingly to the license rules. Full verification of the player's account includes verification of identity, address, and payment. If you check the "Verification" tab of your profile, or just look at the first screenshot you sent, you'll see that there are two fields for uploading documents. The first one is for the HooYu service that accept proves of identity and address, the second one is for the payment verification. And if you look at the second screenshot, you'll see that HooYu service has accepted only identity and address documents, and verified them. After that the service uploads these documents to our system, where we check if all the needed documents are here, and then we request the additional documents such as payment proof. This is the process we follow.
As for the notification about the accepted deposit on the fourth screenshot from you, this is just the system notification that confirms that you made successful deposit to our casino. It can't be considered as proof of payment. To confirm the payment, you should upload documents from the bank.
You can always email us at support@megaslot.com, or you can use live-chat on our website, we work round the clock and will be happy to help you with any question.
Best regards
Megaslot Casino Team
Hi Peter,
got the reply from Megaslot.
The casino accepts payment by Paysafe card. The procedure for the Paysafe card is as follows:
There is no bank involved. Consequently, it is impossible to provide a bank receipt.
I feel Megaslot's answer as cheeky and mockery. It's just a pity that one is apparently defenseless at the mercy of such scams.
Hi all,
Thank you for your replies.
Dear Megaslot Casino Team,
How exactly should worthi prove his payment since he made the deposits using a Paysafe card? Since the casino accepts payments via Paysafe card it must be aware of the fact that there's no bank statement available for this type of deposit.
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 worthi,
Unfortunately, the casino stopped responding entirely. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might 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 (https://thepogg.com/submit-complaint/), and submit a complaint to them. The next step would be contacting the Malta Gaming Authority itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/). Please let me know if you need help with filling out the form or how the ADR responded if you can do this on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Peter
We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of Megaslot Casino 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 worthi,
First of all, please accept our apologize for the long waiting for our respond.
As we have written we are a licensed casino that follows all the rules and conditions regarding the KYC process.
In order to verify this method you had to provide the confirmation of the deposit from your Paysafe account with deposit details and confirmation of this account with your profile details, which as we can see you have provided. As you have earlier provided the confirmation of the Paysafe account, we have expected the confirmation of the deposit exactly from the Paysafe account. And we have not received the information that the deposit was made using voucher.
If you have used the Paysafe voucher to make the deposit, you had to provide a cheque confirming this purchase.
All these information needed for the security reasons. We should understand that the deposit was made from the payment method that belongs to you, not to third party. We care about security of our players and their accounts.
In such cases you should contact us directly, we will always help you and try to find the solution for the issue you have faced.
You can contact us via the email at support@megaslot.com, or via live-chat on our website, we work round the clock and will be happy to help you with any question.
Best regards,
Megaslot Casino Team
