Sol Casino - Player's extensive document requests delay the withdrawal.

I registered with this casino, won some money, and submitted a withdrawal request after having confirmed my verification profile. However, my withdrawal was denied. They then instructed me to contact their chat support to understand why. Subsequently, they required additional documents. I sent another selfie with my passport, the number of the wallet I'd set up for the payout, and even made a phone call to their security department for data verification. As far as I was aware, I had provided all the necessary confirming information. I was told that my verification was complete and I could submit my withdrawal request again. Come morning, my payout had been canceled and I was left questioning the reason. Their response was that they required a "selfie with my taxpayer identification number, a selfie with my Individual Insurance Account Number, and a selfie with my birth certificate". I couldn't understand why all this was necessary. I am currently in another country and physically unable to provide such photos, and moreover, I don't even have a physical copy of my taxpayer identification number. I tried to request for a review of the required documents, insisting that I could provide any number of photos with my passport or driving license. I was willing to undergo a video verification or even a Skype call to present myself and my documents, and answer any required questions. However, the support staff insisted that without these three specific photos, withdrawal would not be possible. I am now left wondering how to get my money out! Verification should primarily be about confirming identity. I believe my identity can be confirmed without such peculiar selfies with various documents, especially for a casino. Why would they need all my documents? Even if I had the ability to send them, or if these documents were physically with me, I would hesitate to send all of my personal information. I would prefer that they either assign me a video verification, or request other photos to confirm my identity and approve my withdrawal. After all, I've already provided enough photos and I truly don't comprehend why the casino is making such a circus out of this issue.

Dear borodin661, 

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. Also, please keep in mind that the casino is eligible to request additional identity documents for verification if needed.

Are you able to send a selfie with any of the requested documents to the casino?

Have you informed the casino that you were currently living abroad and you did not have access to your documents? What was their suggestion?

Please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino regarding your verification to veronika.l@casino.guru.

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, 

Veronika
