Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Ireland had won an amount in an online casino, but his account remained unverified. Despite his repeated inquiries, the casino insisted on initiating the withdrawal process prior to verification. The player was concerned about possible account closure and sought clarification on the necessary documents for account verification. We advised the player to follow the casino's instructions and assured him that we would monitor the situation. The player then successfully withdrew €1000 in two separate transactions, even though his account was still unverified. Despite this, he continued to express concerns about possible account closure and the legitimacy of the casino. We clarified that every casino has different verification requirements and procedures, and since the casino hadn't requested any documents, he shouldn't have worried. The complaint was rejected as the player had not responded to our last messages.

Hi I've recently won money on the slots on powbet and I would like to start withdrawing my money. But my account is not verified and I have asked them multiple times if I could verify my account before I start withdrawing my money because I've seen some stuff online about people's accounts being closed. but they keep saying just request a withdrawal and then you can start to verify and I was just wondering what documents do I need to verify my account just so that I have everything ready. If I request a withdrawal and the withdrawal works with out me verify my account can they shut my account down for this?

Dear richieshort80,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Casinos usually require at least one type of identity document (ID, driver's license, passport) and one type of proof of address (utility bill, phone bill, etc.). However, some casinos can ask for bank statements, proof of ownership of the payment method used to make a deposit, various selfies, etc. 

Some casinos don't let players make deposits before they submit documents, and other casinos let players withdraw the first or few smaller withdrawals without it, but most often casinos ask for documents at the point of the first withdrawal.

Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the casino and it seems that you received clear instructions on how to proceed with the withdrawal, therefore I would suggest that you follow them. I will leave this complaint open and I would like to kindly ask you to keep us updated.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I guess I will try withdraw so its say on powbet the max is 800 I can withdraw but I've seen from other people's post that they where allowed to do 3 withdraws of 800 is that 3 withdraws of 800 to the one account or does it have to be 3 different accounts?

Alright. I would like to emphasize we always give the casino two full weeks to process each payment. I will keep this complaint open and if there’s no development by the end of this time frame, we will intervene. Let’s stay positive and I hope to hear good news regarding your withdrawal soon. Thank you in advance for your patience and please, keep me informed about any further developments.

Is there an expiry period on verifying accounts cause I'm sure there is so what if they don't let me let verify my page and then just cut me off even tho I've requested to verify my pages multiple times and have all the screen shots

Please understand that all casinos have different verification requirements and procedures. As long as the casino didn't request any documents from you, I wouldn't care about it. I am sure that the casino would request the documents from you if it was necessary.

Since your withdrawal requests are being processed, is there anything else we could help you with?

Even though the casino has a high safety index and no unresolved complaints, we cannot guarantee or predict how this case will proceed.

Do you currently have any pending withdrawals? How much money have you received so far?
