Requested a withdrawal that was declined.
Since I made a deposit via a 3 account, but since I have been fully authorized with my own account card since 02/21/2001, I see myself in the right.
I sent all the documents, the authorization from the bank, photocopies of my bank details and my name to this account.

Hello Daniel,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Sunpura Casino. Before we would try to contact the casino, allow me to ask you a few more question to clarify your case as much as possible.
Do I understand it correctly that your card was rejected by the casino because it has more owners? How long does the verification process last so far? Did they give you any final statement on this issue? Did you play with bonus money or real money only in the casino? I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue, looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Hi there,
Got a card with my name on it on this account.
Plus my friend has her card in her name with the same account number.
And a written power of attorney from the bank (Sparkasse) that has identified me as an authorized representative since 02/21/2021.
I made a real money deposit of 500 e and received a 500 bonus which I wagered 40 times.
I also got the sum of 8002e credited to my real money account.
When I pressed the payout button, it was verified.
I sent all the documents.
Selfi with ID
Wage slips
Bank power of attorney
Account statement so that they could see which payment method I used to deposit
Photo of my bank details with my name on it via this account + photo of my friend on her card.
The answer came that there is definitely no payout, only the amount of the coution is paid out.

Make transactions as I want.
With OWN account card via this account with my name on it.
I have sent all documents,
Wage statement
Proof of wages
Selfi with ID
I have documented the transaction of 500 e on your casino account with a bank statement.
So I have properly sent all the documents
Kind regards

I don't understand, when I deposited money everything was great.
That went without any problems, of course, although you could have checked and clarified things from the start.
As I said, I would see it if it was ONLY my girlfriend's account.
But we both use the account with separate bank details on the same account number.
That's why I can't understand that either
PS
I even sent a letter to you from the Sparkasse confirming that I have full power of attorney

AS from what we can see is that Player is not owner of bank account that was used for deposit , as we checked , yes he could use it , but bank account not belongs to the player. Using third party payment systems is a violation of terms and conditions , so antifraud decided to subtract the winnings , to close his account and to return the deposit amount to bank account owner .

Here is the part about this in out T&Cs 11. Depositing:
"The Company does not accept third party payments. You must make deposits only from a bank account, bank cards, e-wallets or other payment methods that are registered in your own name. If we determine during the security checks that you have violated this condition, your winnings will be confiscated and the original deposit will be returned to the owner of the payment account. The Company is not responsible for the lost funds deposited from third party accounts."

You are not serious
I am with the account holder and am allowed to make transactions.
What you can read from it in the power of attorney that I have sent you.
That’s totally stupid ..
And for me they are nothing more than a rip-off casino.
I wonder why you don't clarify this in advance before you allow a deposit.
I guess that a lot of people just don't win right away and that they make a lot of money with one of those rips off.
Sure, 8000 e is not a small amount

Do you know what you keep the 500 e
I'll hand it over to a lawyer and I'll be fine.
Because what they do is a big mess.
I will find out which lawyer is responsible for something like that.
And I like to have that cost me money so that casinos like them are one.
Don't make money that way.

Why do they allow such payments in the first place?
Answer:
Since there are a lot of people losing money ...
Of course it doesn't matter which account is used ..

I hope a lot of people see and read this.
A bullshit what some casinos put on the day.
People just pay attention, you can deposit as much as you want and you can when it comes to a casino, but if it comes to a profit you can do anything about it.
Which for me is almost criminal ..
Payments of any kind are allowed hahaha

Dear Daniel,
I apologize for the delayed response.
Dear Sunpura Casino team,
We believe that cases like this should be assessed individually. Since Daniel was fully authorized to use the account and also deposited with a card that is in his own name, we consider the decision to void his winnings to be unfounded as the use of the payment method was clearly not connected to fraud or attempted fraud.
That being said, we would like to kindly ask you to reconsider your decision in this case.

Dear Daniel,
Unfortunately, we have not received any response from the casino in the past two weeks. It looks like the casino is not willing to reconsider its decision in this case.
I am very sorry but since the casino team is unresponsive, we’re not able to proceed with the investigation.
Another option is to submit a complaint to the official ADR and/or licensing authority of the casino. Please let me know if you decide to do so and/or our assistance is needed. I will gladly guide you through the process.
