Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Germany submitted a withdrawal request. She sent all the documents needed for verification, but her account was blocked by the casino for violation of the terms and conditions. The player's account was funded by a third party, and the complaint was closed as "rejected". Upon the player's request, we reopened the complaint and conducted a thorough investigation. We discovered that the player's funds were earned through legitimate work. As a result, the casino reconsidered its initial statement and paid the player their winnings, so we closed the complaint as resolved.

As with the previous complaint, I asked for my winnings of 1000 euros to be paid out. I had to verify myself, ID photo, selfie with ID and bank statements from the last 3 months. After that I was blocked with the notice that I had violated the terms and conditions. But I haven't!

Repeated requests, including setting a deadline for the payment, were not taken seriously and the same templates were sent over and over again in response.

Dear celinast,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am sorry to hear about your issue with PowerUp Casino.

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 your account was blocked before all the verification documents were approved by the casino?

Has the casino clarified which Terms have you violated? Please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino to veronika.l@casino.guru. Alternatively, you may post it here.

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

Best regards,

Veronika

Dear Veronica,


thank you very much for the quick feedback. I have sent the email history to your email address.

In short: The casino has not made it clear which condition I should have explicitly violated. The account was blocked during verification or verification was not approved after submitting all documents.


Thanks very much !!!


Best regards


Celina

I'm being accused of someone else depositing money for me.

I am not aware of any guilt in this regard.


I also deposited using my bank account like every other time!!

I paid via direct debit, so the money was only in my PowerUp player account 1-2 working days later.

Exactly the same data was disclosed in the last three bank statements. My name, address and account.


On what grounds and what evidence am I accused of fraud?

I have never committed a scam! Unfortunately I don't know where these documents are taken from?

Dear celinast,


I can confirm I have received your evidence, and I will be discussing the details with the casino internally. But so far, it seems there is nothing you should have done wrong and thus breaching the casino's T&Cs.


I will keep you updated on any developments. Thank you.


Kind regards,

Tomas
