I’ve sent over a dozen pictures of me holding my licence and you continually tell me you can’t read it, I showed 10 people I was sitting in a meeting with at work whom all said they can see it easy.

This has now affected my mental how due to this process and I’m seeking legal action due to it

Dear bxtkzx5frx,

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.

Do I understand correctly that verifying your ID seems to be the only obstacle standing between you and successful verification? Has the casino requested any other documents and if yes, have they been approved?

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

Best regards,

Kristina

Thank you very much for your reply, bxtkzx5frx. Have you already applied for the renewal of your nearly expired document?

i do not need to apply for my nearly expired licence because it’s still valid, I’ll renew when it elapses, the amount of time it’s valid has absolutely nothing to do with proving my identity, it’s not in the p & c’s. I already attached for you to see that they accepted my verification, it’s written in black and white, and then unaccepted it when I tried to withdraw.

read the attachments I already sent you.

Now they are clearly fraudulent and by the looks of it your allowing this, it’s your role to look after me and the many others being ripped of by this company.

please help me get my money I’m entitled to fair and square

Hi Peter, so if they don’t respond which we definitely be the case, I lose my money and they only get 1 bad review.

where is the incentive for a casino to have to look after its customers when there’s no serious outcome against them for it

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I'm afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. Since the casino operates without a valid license and doesn't refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to. 

I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. 

Best regards,

Peter
