Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Austria had reported an issue of not being able to withdraw his winnings due to the casino's delay in reviewing his documents. The Complaints Team contacted the casino and found out that the casino had been waiting for a selfie from the player, but that there was also a problem with receiving the user's emails due to the email domain he used. The player had sent the selfie from a different email, which was successful. After several attempts and with the help of the Complaints Team, the player's documents were finally verified and he was able to make a withdrawal.

The casino does not review documents, hence no withdrawal can be made.


It's been 3 days (!) with no response, no processing, nothing.....

Hello DiePartei,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with SapphireBet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise since when exactly is the verification process ongoing? Which documents have been already approved and which ones not? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Please note that the verification process may take up to 14 days after sending in all the requested documents.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hello!


Since December 16th. On December 20th I was told to send the files larger, which I did the same day. Since then there has been absolute radio silence and this "department" does not contact us or check the documents...

Hello, DiePartei,

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. I will contact the casino and try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Now I would like to invite SapphireBet Casino's representative to join this conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.

 

Dear SapphireBet Casino team,

Could you please provide us with an explanation of the player's situation in more detail? What steps should the player take to complete the KYC and withdraw his winnings? Can you confirm or deny that the casino received the complainant's last email with the requested documents, and from the correct email address? If the emails were received, what documents were not accepted and why?

Can you direct the player with detailed instructions on how to proceed to complete the verification?

Thank you in advance for providing the information.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear DiePartei,

Just letting you know that in the meantime, I was in contact with the casino's representatives, and I was provided with the information that the casino is waiting for your selfie, you should have received all the information via email from the casino. To be sure that you receive all the information, you should also receive the resent email with the same.

Also, we found out that there was an incorrect email in our system assigned to the casino representative account, which was updated recently. Thus, it could have caused a delay in response on the casino's side. I sincerely believe someone will provide us with an update directly here soon, and your issue will be resolved.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I never received an email and I mentioned it several times in the chat. I'll just send another selfie now, but will that be successful?

Thank you for the update, DiePartei. I will try to find out more if no one replies here until I have any news.

In the meantime, sure, try to send a selfie and contact the casino CS again regarding an update. Currently, I am not sure if only a selfie solves your problem.

Feel free to share any progress here.

DiePartei, can you please also try the following:

  • Write to the casino Customer Support from another email if possible, and put your casino account ID and email used in your account to the subject of the email, and explain it in the email body - there are some technical issues with emails coming to the casino's email from the domain you use, so it should help
  • I received information that the casino also wrote to your personal account - if I understand it correctly, they very likely mean your casino account; if there is anything like that in your casino account, please, check all the "notifications"/"messages", whether you are able to find any message from the casino

After sending an email to the casino, I recommend you wait maybe a few days until someone responds to you. It usually takes some time.

I have now sent it to the casino from my gmx address. You left a message in the internal system yesterday (for the first time). Let's see what happens now. LG

Dear DiePartei,

Although no one from the casino responds in the thread for some reason, since I am still in contact with the casino representatives outside the thread, and it looks like they are still trying to help us in resolving the matter, I am extending the timer for the casino again.

I will inform you here when I have any updates.

In the meantime, if there is any progress, feel free to let me know about it.

Can you please share with me the information that was in the message you mentioned above?

They currently always want new photos, they are all in the best quality, but they always say that the quality is not enough. A very, very bad and dubious bookmaker

Thank you for the update, DiePartei.

If you are not sure about the quality of the photos, feel free to send them to my email for review (branislav.b@casino.guru). I also recommend you check the photos by zooming them in. They should be clear also after multiple zoom-ins. If you are asked for a selfie with your ID, it is important to hold your ID at the same distance from the camera as your face, while everything on the ID should be clear and readable - also you can check it by zoom-ins. If there is a problem with these conditions on your photos, try to take photos with a digital camera or a better phone with better resolution. On the other side, maybe it is a part of the process - to ask players for more photos to rule out that they used the identity of someone else, etc.

In addition, please note that the casino very likely did not receive your previous emails, so it is like the process started from the beginning. Therefore, your patience and full cooperation are highly needed. I sincerely believe that you will be able to complete your KYC shortly.

Recently I was informed that the casino is waiting for the requested documents.

Is there please any progress on your verification?

Hello, DiePartei,

I have not received any relevant information or updates from the casino representatives for a longer time, so I contacted them a while ago to update us if possible.

Did the casino contact you in the meantime? Is there any progress or feedback for the provided documents, please?
