Case closed Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

8 months ago

The player from Italy has been waiting for three months for a verification call from the casino. After a closer examination, we ended up rejecting this complaint as the player as the exclusive user of their casino account provided clear answers regarding which games they played when they achieved substantial wins, thus the player did not pass the verification call.

Dear karmenrossi,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with MyStake Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

Do I understand correctly the casino suggested a verification call as part of the verification procedure?

When was the call scheduled for the first time and what were the details of the arrangement?

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

Best regards,

Tomas

Dear karmenrossi,

I think there was a misunderstanding as a result of my last message.

We will need you to provide us with your previous communication with the casino - relevant chat transcripts or emails between the casino and you. In order to proceed with the case we will need to review it in order to have a better understanding of the situation. Before we confront the casino, please send the information to my email at tomas@casino.guru

I am sorry I overlooked your recent email.

From my understanding, the casino requests you send them a selfie of yo with your ID document again.


If you have been asked for a selfie with ID documents or a screen behind you, which is nothing unusual, please follow these important guidelines:

-         Do not edit the image in any way

-         The photo needs to include your full face, head-on, with no distortions, shadows or reflections of light. If someone takes the photo for you, make sure they take it from up close and include as little background as possible (remember, no cropping is permitted)

-         When you take the photo of your ID, make sure the photo is clear and close enough to read without cropping or editing

Try sending the document required for verification again, and let us know about the result.

I'll await your reply.

Hello karmenrossi,

I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this 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,

Can you please provide information regarding the player's verification issues? Is the verification call the only obstacle preventing the player from receiving their winnings? If this information can't be shared publicly, please forward them to me at michal.k@casino.guru

Hi Karmenrossi,


Our compliance manager had arranged a call with you on August 1st, but unfortunately, you did not join the call on time. She waited for an hour, but you did not show up. As a result, we need to schedule a new call for next week.

Please reach out to our compliance manager to arrange the next date for the call.

Hello Michal, the mystake team has written to me now that they will get back to me on Monday and that I didn't log in right away last time.

I asked him to notify me when the call will take place in order to be available, I don't always have the email connected.

No they texted me the last time they would do it on Monday but I haven't received anything.

So I wrote to them to find out but they didn't reply.

Please take care of it because I can't wait all day for the email to connect as they wrote to me last time that I didn't connect right away.

Thank you

Good work

Hello, I have been contacted but the lady from mystake asked me questions in English that I didn't always understand.

For me hearing English spoken is difficult plus I'm in a seaside location so there were voices near me and I didn't understand well.

I don't know if they will call me back and write again to know their answer.

I tried to explain it to them by email but I don't know if they will answer

Thank you

Hello,


The relevant team contacted the player. via video call. First, we asked the user to verify his identity by providing his name, surname, date of birth, and address, which he did accurately. After that, we asked him to remember which deposit method he used and his response was also accurate. Then we inquired as to the name of the game through which he won the money, but he was unable to recall it and responded that three months had passed and he no longer remembered. Accordingly, we attempt to ask the simpler query - requesting the game type (such as Live Casino, Sports, Casino, etc.). In the meantime, the player continued to explain that he could not recall the name of the game, and we could hear a third person's voice despite our repeated requests for him to remain private; otherwise, we would have had to terminate the call. At the same time, the user queried a third party in Italian for information regarding the game's name, and we clearly heard the third party's response (he stated the game's name), after which the player informed us that he remembered the game's name. We immediately responded by explaining that he could not recall the name of the game and that it had been dictated. Thus, we stopped the video call and informed him that our decision would be communicated via email.

We are also providing you with our T&C

filefile

According to call details, it was determined that the owner of an account (karmenrossi) was not the only user of that account; third parties also had access to it, which is an obvious breach of our terms of service. 


Thus, the player's account has been terminated, and he can withdraw 20% of his last deposit.



Kind regards,

Mystake team

Hello, first of all, as already mentioned, I'm on holiday by the sea and when the video call was made I was on the beach with my family .... I didn't remember the name of the game so my husband reminded me but I didn't understand that there was it was the third person problem.

In any case my husband is part of my family so he knows that I played and that I won so I think mystake is just looking for a way not to pay my winnings also because so many days have gone by since April 20th and it is normal that a person may not remember.

If they had made the video call earlier I would have remembered.

In addition, I had asked to be able to speak with a translator since I did not understand the whole part of the third person and the interruption of the call.

I think they're just looking for an excuse, I played in April and won because they didn't pay me right away despite numerous reminders?

Thanks for your availability

Hi karmenrossi,


I wanted to inform you that since Michal, your assigned resolver, is currently on vacation, I have decided to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Given that Michal possesses the most comprehensive understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, I believe this extension is warranted. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and I assure you that Michal will reach out to you before the end of the upcoming week.


Thank you for your understanding and continued patience.

Dear karmenrossi,

I understand that English is not your first language and that it might not be so easy for you to understand the questions the casino team has asked you. Some casinos do allow another person to be present on the video verification call as a translator, however, a good practice is to have this agreed upon with the casino team in advance.

What I don't fully understand is how come your husband knows which games you've been playing better than you? It is OK if you don't remember all the games, but I would know for sure which games I've played when I have hit big wins regardless if it was 1 week or 6 months ago. How often are you lucky enough to win such nice wins? Anyway, it would be great if the casino could give you one more chance to successfully complete the verification via a second video call.


Dear MyStake Casino,

I comprehend your perspective and concur that it's essential for the player to provide responses independently, representing themselves without external aid. However, it's evident that English isn't the player's primary language, and there's a possibility that the player didn't grasp the question fully. This led the player to consult her husband for clarification on how to address the provided question.

Would it be acceptable for you to give the player one more chance to complete her verification through a second video call where her husband would also be present to help with the translation?

Thank you very much, but as you say since I had such a big win it is normal that I informed my husband when it happened and since at the time of the video call I didn't remember it also because I thought they just wanted to verify my identity, he helped me by suggesting it to me.

Among other things, I repeat that I was on vacation with my family and I didn't know that I had to be alone at the time of the call.

Anyway thank you for your request for a second call to the casino

Greetings

Hello Michal,


The person who dictated the player seems that he is a member of the family. If we contact and ask the same questions, the family member will have previously provided all the information, and the player will already be aware of the appropriate responses. We will therefore be impacted by the video call being repeated.


Along with this, we asked the player the same question multiple times and made an effort to use the simplest language possible. The player answered us with exact information regarding the personal information and didn't hesitate about the details. However, when we began talking about the game and the issues connected to the account, she couldn't answer the questions. According to it, the problem wasn't in the language barrier.


We also advised the player to stay alone while video calling but she didn't pay attention and carried on speaking Italian to her husband. The translation was not the topic of discussion. As soon as she got the required information from her spouse, she returned and responded to us by saying that she remembered what she played.


To the conclusion, it is clear from the above, language barrier wasn't the reason for not giving answers.



Kind regards,

Mystake team

Thank you for your response, Mystake team.


Dear karmenrossi,

After a throughout discussion and consideration of all the facts, we have come to the following conclusion:

We understand that English is not your first language, however, considering you were able to clearly answer the questions regarding your personal information and didn't hesitate about the details it is quite evident that the language barrier did not play a significant role in this case.

We understand the concerns raised by the casino team regarding their questions about your gameplay. If you were the sole participant in the mentioned games, it's highly improbable that you wouldn't recall the instances where you achieved significant winnings. While it's acceptable if players don't remember all the games, it's certain that players would recall exactly which games they've played when they've achieved substantial wins, regardless of whether it was a week or half a year ago. As the exclusive user of your casino account, you should have been able to provide clear responses. The verification call was scheduled and mutually agreed upon at a specific time with you, therefore it's expected that you would be alone during the video call, regardless of your location, be it at home or elsewhere. This is a standard requirement. 

Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding.

I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Regards

Michal
