I discovered this Casino through the social tournament by Pragmatic! They suggest some casinos where we can receive our prizes! I ended up creating an account there because of that! I made 2 deposits at Smokeace!
The first deposit was on 06/20! Payment method was Pix via my Astropay wallet, using the balance I had on Astropay! I played the deposited amount and lost all the balance!
Recently, on 08/06, I made the second deposit at Smokeace! Payment method was Pix through Banco Santander!
I ended up winning 125.00 and decided to request a withdrawal! The withdrawal wasn't permitted because I needed to verify my account! While my account was being verified via email (because the automatic verification didn't work), I continued playing at the Casino and reached a balance of 750.00!
With my account verified, I requested the withdrawal! Now comes the second stage of verification! Financial information! I've already sent them all the requested information and screenshots! But I can't send screenshots of my Pix keys from Santander because the bank does not allow such captures! However, my registered key there is my CPF! I don't know if you know how Pix works? Only the CPF holder can register it as a key! I've already sent a video showing that the bank doesn't allow the capture, that the screen turns black! I've also sent other screenshots that would prove the accuracy of the information! But they keep asking for the same information again! Now they're asking me for the details of an account I don't even know! Today, I woke up early (at 4 AM) to interact with them! Answering emails, since the time zone is different! But my withdrawal is still pending and they're asking for things I can't provide! If they had a bit of goodwill, they could verify through the other screenshots I sent! I'm starting to get worried! I saw some similar posts and complaints here! I'm starting to agree with the people on the forum! That the Casino doesn't pay! They just stall and complicate things in every way!
If you could help me solve this, I don't know what else I can do! 😰😔

Dear Vivi523,
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.
- Could you please list which documents you have already provided to the casino and what information the casino requested?
- Could you please share your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@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,
Tomas
