REJECTED

Case summary

The player from Finland faced issues withdrawing winnings from a welcome bonus, as his account was locked and his winnings had been confiscated. Although the casino claimed that the payment issues originated from the processor, the submitted documents were not accepted, and the document section on their site was not functional. The Complaints Team extended the response time for the player to provide the necessary information; however, due to a lack of communication from him, the complaint was ultimately rejected.

I played the welcome offer with the first deposit bonus and won. For some reason, I was unable to withdraw the winnings for a long time, but I was told repeatedly that the issues were on the payment processor's end, not theirs. I was also required to send documents, but the document section on their website wasn't working at all, so I sent the documents via email. However, they were not accepted for some unknown reason, and now my account is locked, and my winnings have been confiscated. I would like to get help with this from you. I have also emailed them about the matter.

Dear korhoo55,

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 take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.

When were you requested to submit the documents, and when did you do so?

Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one?

Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and in the correct format?

Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at dominika.l@casino.guru, or post screenshots here.

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,

Dominika

Hi, I have sent all the documents they asked for via email, as the website was unable to send them. I made a deposit on 22.11 and have been having problems with withdrawals ever since. My account was blocked at some point for some reason. Below is a screenshot of the email I received from them a while ago.



I also received this kind of email from them when I sent documents via email. In other words, I can't send documents at all when my account is blocked, and they don't receive emails regarding documents.

Dear all


Thank you for your patience.


We would like to clarify that customer account was closed due to the fact that he failed to present us documents for more than 30 days .


Customer had been requested to provide documents and verify his gaming account at 19/12/2024 , he didn't answered our request and at 22/01/2025 reminder emails had been send for the customer to present us the requested documents , our email didn't have a reply again and at 31/01/2025 his gaming account was closed and his funds deducted.


Please note that there are no prior emails from the customer as he claims and there is no records that he ever send us email with the requested documents and contacting us and explaining any issue with the website.


The customer had only contacted us after the account was closed and his only email with the documents is coming only after the Terms and Conditions were applied at 11/02/2025 , kindly note that we had seen the screenshot from the customer and that he had send us email to KYC@powerupcasino.com please note that this email inbox is not used for documents to be send and if customer wants us to send us documents he need to use support@powerupcasino.com .


Also the massage content  is automated and it is not from human , also the automated response clearly states that the player need to go to his verification tab to check the verification status.


Customer had never reached customer support agent or no other email had been send to us
