REJECTED

Case summary

2 days ago

The player from Canada had submitted a withdrawal request less than two weeks before contacting us. Winnings had not been obtained by that day. The player faced issues with KYC verification, which resulted in delays and confusion regarding document submissions. After intervention, the casino acknowledged the player's compliance with the KYC requirements and confirmed the processing of the withdrawal. The complaint was marked as resolved, with the player confirming receipt of the owed funds.The complaint was reopened as the player was unable to verify their residency in Canada. The player stopped responding and the complaint was closed as rejected.

Hey.

I withdrawed 750$ cad from myempire casino.

I checked if I needed verification or not and it said i didnt. I've been a member since 2023.

Never had an issue till now.

I have screenshot providing the support team promised Me that its done with the checks and is being waited on by the finance team to process the withdrawal. I got told this many of times. It was suppose to be due 1-3 days later as promised from first attempt to withdraw.



I've been living in Canada since last year, I had a son here on the way but he died in February 3 days before his due date sadly.

So my permanent residency has been delayed here.


Now kyc has been triggered after being promised my withdrawal would of been done by the Friday. Kyc was triggered on the next Monday.


I explained my situation countless amounts of times until I got a support adviser by the name of seamus.

He has been helpful so far.

Since I couldn't upload my uk ID for kyc and I don't have my canadian id yet due to circumstances. Seamus kindly said if I could send him proof of a letter or email from the Canadian embassy providing my application is being processed.

Which I did and I gave it to him to forward since the kyc system doesn't accept screenshot or anything electronically just a physical photo option. Which I couldn't do since my application is online in canadian embassy ircc portal.


So he forwarded the documents for me.

The next day goes forward and I ask him on live chat again what's happening. He then said by tomorrow I will have a response.


I received an email from the support team, on the same email handle seamus was using. But a different support adviser even tho it was seamus personally emailing me.


She or he was asking for all my documents again but not understanding my situation.

I've contacted live chat again numerous times.

I don't know how to go forward and everytime I have to explain this is very frustrating.


Please help

I have many screenshot and proof.

Dear jamdiscord89,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests.
That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint.

If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Complaints Resolution Center

I got told by 3 customer support agents that no checks needed and no kyc needed the withdrawal will be processed and it had been escalated to the finance team to process.


Then a week later they asked for KYC. Even though I asked if all checks are done and they said yes I have proof of this I will attach a screenshot but I have the whole chat transcripts. Is there anyway I can email you guys the chat logs?

Dear All,


Thank you for reaching us out.


We'd like to point out that currently the customer is going through verification process and some of the documents provided by the customer aren't in line with what we have requested.


Currently we're waiting for these documents/actions from the customer:


  • ID / Residence Permit - The customer noted that he doesn't have a Canadian ID, so we're waiting for Residence Permit. The document provided earlier wasn't accepted due to the fact it was a screenshot. It must be an original file in the PDF format.
  • Proof of address - The customer provided a statement from a digital bank account, that we can't accept. We need a document not older than 6 months. Such as a utility bill (water, gas, energy) or bank statement in PDF. We do not accept internet/cell phone/telephone/TV bills, bank slips or digital bank account statements.

    Our KYC team might accept your Residence Permit as Proof of address too. 

  • Login without VPN - The customer needs to turn off VPN, contact Live Chat and inform them about it. After that, we'll forward this information for checking.


Dear jamdiscord89, please upload these documents in the Verification section of our website. In case of any difficulties, you can send them by email.


We apologize for any misleading information that could be provided earlier and look forward to your cooperation. After the documents are provided and checked, we'll make sure your withdrawal requests will be processed shortly with priority.


Kind regards,

MyEmpire team

This is wrong. Seamus handled the documents for me.

I have proof of it.

As you know I'm in Canada and I don't have canadian ID as of yet.

I provided the Canadian authorities letter provided by seamus. How can it be an original file in pdf if the file wasn't originally in pdf?


And You are lying. I have many chats even my last one saying that the information is OK.



The main issue is. I got told my withdrawal would of been done.


On day 5 of delayed payment then I got asked for KYC


I have full proof providing everything

Yes but the documents that was requested by "Seamus" wasn't possible to upload via the website.


He manually sent them for me.

I managed to speak to him again 2 to 3 days ago.



I then received an email yesterday asking for my crypto wallet address for manual withdrawal.


Then 3 minutes after that email I had another stating they are closing my account and will send back my last deposit of 34 cad?


Apparently I'm using a vpn even though it's been confirmed by 3 different agents and I have PROOF of that.

And that my documents didn't pass because I didn't upload them? Even though seamus and felix have both forwarded them 3 times.



They have ignored everything seamus has done.


I don't know if they are processing my withdrawal or not though because they asked for my wallet for a withdrawal or do they mean the 34 cad which is nothing btw I deposited more then that since 2023.

No I haven't. I only received the second amount of 34 cad.


When I asked for the other withdrawal they lied and said I won't get it now because of me using a vpn which I Haven't and I have proof of this in screenshots. Please read this I beg you Stefan. I have screenshot from there colleagues confirming multiple times regarding the vpn issue.


They already confirmed they made the withdrawal of 716 cad. How can you lie again and say its completed then say its cancelled.

How is that the case though I explained to you my situation with my son dieng in Canada and I obviously have been dealing with that so I haven't been able to deal with my PR application as it had been delayed due to circumstances.


Your colleague seamus ASKED ME to send different documents providing my status in Canada. Which I DID.

You failed to read his messages and ignored all the work him and me and felix did due to your poor communication.


I have full proof of everything. As casino guru can see.


So why did you only refund 34 cad why didn't you refund my WHOLE total deposits.


You guys just basically let me withdraw my cash.

Informed me that I would be getting it by a certain date. Then lied about it and said I won't get it now until certain procedure has finished.


You also illegally provided my wrong lawful information.

You on black and white said you will refund me then said oh sorry that's an error. You have to fulfill your promises.

Here is the proof.

You claim that you applied for Canadian Residence before you came to Canada, but the application is from March 22nd 2024. At this time you were already back in the UK. The whole situation doesn't make any sense. The application file also has signs of the edition.
