Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Spain encountered a verification issue with a card he had never used after trying to withdraw funds from his casino account. Despite providing evidence to Mystake support that the card ending in 19 was not his, the casino repeatedly requested verification for this card, causing a deadlock. The player later identified the card as his but faced further issues verifying deposits made with it. The casino insisted on verifying all payment methods used. The player failed to respond to further inquiries, leading us to reject the complaint due to lack of communication.

Good afternoon,

I have an issue regarding the verification of a card that I have never used. Let me explain in detail.


It all started about 3 days ago when I tried to withdraw money from my account and received the email you can see in the attached image below (the first conversation). They asked me to verify two cards: the first one ending in 21, which I verified without any problem, but the second one ending in 19 was one I had never used. Mystake claimed in the email that it was used in June of this year. Every time I’ve deposited money into Mystake, I’ve done so through Revolut using a virtual card. So, I checked Revolut and reviewed the transactions for both disposable cards (the last operation was in March) and the card that I’ve always used and is already verified at the casino. On this card, I found two deposit transactions to Mystake, which match the only two transactions I have with Mystake in June (as you can see in images 1 and 2, and transactions 1 and 2 respectively). Confused, I responded to the email explaining that it was a system error and that I had never used that card. They simply repeated the same copy-pasted text, as if they were robots and not people.


Seeing that the situation wasn't progressing, I contacted Mystake via live chat. They told me the same thing—that card is mine and was used by me in June. I sent them the same documents to show that it was an error and they told me to talk to support. This was useless (I tried) as it turned into a closed loop where they responded with the same thing: verify the card ending in 19...


Getting increasingly perplexed, I decided to contact Revolut support this morning and, as expected, that card does not appear on my account; it isn't mine (as you can see in the conversation photo below). The Revolut card department confirmed that the card is not mine. So, I reached out to Mystake support again to explain, but they repeated the same thing—that the card is mine and I need to verify it.


I've been thinking that maybe when depositing money, third parties they use might have deposited money with the card ending in 19. Another possibility is that I might have used Apple Pay or something similar, which could change the card information, but I haven't.


What's annoying is that despite having evidence that they’re wrong and it must be a mistake, they keep repeating the same thing. It seems to me that they haven't even checked and are just sending the same message over and over.


I understand that verifying cards is crucial in case they are stolen or something similar, but that it has reached this point seems strange to me.


Another point, about a year ago, I withdrew my money without any issues with just the KYC and the verification of my main card, with which I’ve deposited money 90% of the time. This time they asked me to re-verify everything, and now everything is verified, even proof of address.


That's all. I hope you can help me since, from past experiences, I know you are real people and not robots 🙂


Best regards and thanks in advance.

Dear toni45cc,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to make sure I understand your situation completely.

Could you please send me the screenshot of your deposit history showing the deposits for June? How many deposits did you make during this month in total?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika

Hello Veronika, thank you for responding to my complaint, very kind.


There have been a total of 10 deposits as you can see in the image, of which 8 are through a cryptocurrency and 2 through cards, these 2 cards are the two deposits that I attached in the previous message. Which have been made with a card that I have already verified and that I always use.


Greetings and thank you 🙂

Hello toni45cc,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite MyStake Casino to join the conversation.


Dear MyStake Casino,

Could you please explain why you are requesting the player to verify a card that does not belong to them? The player has already provided all the necessary information and documents to verify their payment methods, so this request seems unusual. If there are additional reasons for this request or if there is more to this case than meets the eye and the information cannot be shared publicly, please forward the details to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Hello Michal, thank you for taking my case.

I must tell you some things.


The card has appeared, it turned out to be a card that I had for a long time and I didn't even remember about it. When I saw the BIN I could see which bank it was from and that's when I found that it was mine. But I still have almost the same problem.


Mystake is asking me to verify the same card mentioned across all deposits I have made. How can you check, in the image Mystake tells me that the card has been used between June 1 and June 15, something that, as you have seen in previous messages, is not possible, since I made the deposit with a different card on that date. Even so, I have sent them a bank deposit from a possible Mystake third party that is dated in that date range. I am 99% sure that with the card that is giving me problems I only made one deposit and no more.


As soon as I have news of the last email with the deposit sent, I will let you know here. But they may deny me.


Thank you also for taking the case, very kind, as soon as I have new news I will tell you.

I will also need your help if they deny me this since they are asking me for deposit verification in a range of dates that I have not deposited with that card.


Greetings, I'll talk to you as soon as I receive the response email from mystake.

Dear toni45cc,

Thank you for the additional information. Although I can understand you might not remember depositing with a card that you do not typically use for deposits at MyStake, it is standard procedure for the casino to request verification of all payment methods used for deposits or withdrawals at any given time. Now that you have confirmed using your card ending in 19, please ensure that you furnish the casino team with the necessary statement, even if no transactions were conducted from that card within the designated timeframe.

Hello again Michal.

Mystake has already responded to the document I sent and as expected they have rejected it. They keep asking me for all the deposits I made with that card in June, but it doesn't make sense since as you can see in the other documents that I attach, I only made two deposits but not with the card that they ask me to verify. It must be some kind of error.


One question, what does this refer to? To a bank statement? A deposit to Mystake? I have a doubt.


I hope you can help me with this case.

Hello @toni45cc,


We have requested the statement of cars which is an additional verification process, credit card verification is also part of this process. After you are completely verified, you will not be bothered by us concerning this matter for quite a long time.  


As you don't have access to your cars we requested your transaction statement to ensure all deposits are made via it.


Please review the email from our KYC team and take into account the necessary conditions to successfully complete the card verification procedure.



Kind regards
