Case summary

10 months ago

The player from Canada had been trying to withdraw funds for two months, but every attempt to verify his account had been denied. The player had provided multiple documents for KYC verification, including a selfie with his driver's license and a front and back picture of the same. However, the online casino had consistently rejected these documents, stating that they were not clear enough. The player had also reported that his original bank card, which was linked to the casino account, had been stolen, and the new card had a different number. The casino had requested a selfie with the old card or an extract from it, which the player could not provide due to the theft. Despite several attempts to resolve the issue, the player had eventually lost his winnings and the complaint had been rejected.

Dear jjjsperling, 

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. 

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

Has any of your documents been approved by the casino?

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

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

I have sent my selfish with my driver's license and a front and back picture of my driver's license. The bank card which was originally used was stolen so my new card has a different number. My bank statement does not show that card number. I sent the new pictures in three weeks ago.

Have you notified the casino that your original card has been stolen? Do you have any record of your previous payment card in your bank account? It is important to inform the casino of any changes to your payment methods, as the KYC department needs to verify that you are the rightful owner of all the payment methods you use for making deposits.

They say that the photos aren't clear but I send them on my phone which sends high definition pictures. I'm not sure what they want from me.

I think that the Spin City online gambling site is a scam! I've been trying to get my account verified for 3 months and tonight I made a deposit which was accepted but the second deposit that I tried to make was declined as it was being sent to Athens Greece.

Dear Pavel,


We regret to inform you that the documentation previously submitted by the player, including the provided bank statement (BS), does not meet our requirements for verification.


To successfully complete the verification process, we kindly request to provide the following:


High-Quality Selfie with Proof of Identity (POI): Ensure the complete visibility of the document and legibility of the information.


Selfie with Card Ending in 0459 or Extract from the Card: Include the relevant card in a clear selfie or provide an extract that is easily readable.


Additionally, we observed that the bank statement provided does not contain the bank card number. For a comprehensive verification process, we require documentation that includes the relevant card details.


The initial request for additional documentation, dated 27.11, remains relevant.

I still say that this is a scam! They have no problem taking my money but they won't let me withdraw! This is ridiculous!

jjjsperling, the Identity Verification is an essential process in an every casino, so it must be completed for you to withdraw any funds and for the casino to make sure, that they do not send money to an unverified person, who can use these funds with bad intentions.

Please, provide the casino with the high-quality selfie, according to the example, that I have sent you to your e-mail previously, with a good lighting and pointing the camera at you while standing straight. Also, you will need to request the bank statement from the bank and ask them to mention your card number in there.

I can assure you, at some moment, you will be required to pass the verification process in the OLG Casino as well. Please, let me know if you will continue to try to submit suitable documents. Otherwise, I will be forced to reject your complaint.

I don't know what else to do. I have taken several pictures with my phone. None are acceptable and the bank card number has been changed. I have requested an e-transfer so it shouldn't matter what bank it goes to. In an e-transfer I get to choose which bank I want to transfer it to.

Okay, let's try once more. Send me the last photo that has been rejected and I will try to guide you through the process or find some instruction.

Also, could you, please, clarify once more, why has the card number been changed?

To ensure security, we offer an alternative to the selfie with the card. The Player can provide a statement for the specific card instead. This could be a payment records for the card from his bank account.
