Case summary

3 months ago

The player from Ireland had deposited €200 via Skrill on PokerStars, but his account was frozen due to security checks before he could play. After providing the requested ID, proof of address, and proof of payment, the account was closed, and the €200 deposit was confiscated. We contacted the casino, which cited a violation of their General Terms as the reason for the account closure. The casino eventually refunded the player's balance, resolving the issue.

Hello, I registered in pokerstars a week ago, Deposited there 200EUR over skrill, then before even playing/placing any bets account got frozen due security checks ( deposit was in my name, same details as on both accounts) I was requested to send documents, ID Proof of address and proof of payment, which I immediately provided

After that they closed my account and stole 200EUR deposits, they ignore any communication from my side after this. They just scammed me for 200EUR

Hello, They have problem or they don't want to reply?

I see other people also reporting account closure with same case in PokerStars,

I can not believe that service with "decent" reputation scamming people for rather low amounts for that big company.
