The player from Germany is experiencing difficulties withdrawing his winnings due to ongoing verification. We rejected the complaint because the player didn't respond to our messages and questions.
Good day,
a payout was rejected, I should also verify myself. All documents requested have been uploaded. Identity card (front and back), selfie, bank statements for the past four months. All personal data has been made unrecognizable, such as invoice numbers and customer numbers, transfer amounts...
This was not accepted by the casino. I asked several times why the casino needed all personal data and tried to find a solution. Since then there has been no response from the casino. I am happy to provide all information and documents for the verification or the payment, but I will make exact sales amounts or personal data that are not necessary unrecognizable
Dear tobiv,
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.
It is important to acknowledge that modifying any necessary information on your uploaded documents for verification purposes is not acceptable. When playing in an online casino, you must be prepared to provide unaltered documents, as any alterations may give the impression that you are concealing vital information.
I hope this explanation was satisfactory. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Petronela
Good day,
Thank you for taking the time to review my complaint. All documents have been forwarded as requested. Only personal data was made unrecognizable, such as the amount of my wages, invoice numbers, etc... So far I have played in countless casinos and have never had any problems with my documents except for this casino. It's a known problem with this casino chain, which sets unusually high hurdles for withdrawals. I ask for your understanding here that I provide everything that the casino needs for the check, but I would like to make transactions unrecognizable with which the casino can do absolutely nothing.
Best regards
Regrettably, it is not within my authority to determine whether an incomplete bank statement would be considered satisfactory. If the casino has rigorous verification protocols in place and insists on receiving unaltered documentation, then I'm afraid you will need to comply with their requirements.
Dear Petronela,
I was hoping that Casinoguru could do something here. After more than 15 years in the online casino I have never had any problems verifying my documents. From my point of view, demanding such documents is already harassment and has nothing to do with a serious verification process. Often much higher hurdles are then set until you can no longer meet one (according to reports from other players), such as that you should verify your IP or email, sometimes videos are also required. Then I will surely continue playing before I reveal my wages, my complete transaction history of the last four months. Presumably that's exactly what the casino wanted to achieve...

Please understand that the requested information is necessary for the casino to make sure that your funds have been obtained legally and that you have enough funds to participate in the betting. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Regulations for the Gaming and Gambling Industry are usually set by the Licensing Authority and all the serious and licensed casinos have to comply and follow these policies.
Please let me know how you wish to proceed with this case.
even if the requested data does not contribute to fulfilling any guidelines or AWL regulations from my point of view and is not compliant with the data protection guidelines from my point of view, I will now accept this. It's a shame, I haven't experienced anything like this before, even though I've been playing half my life.
