Hi.
I registered for this casino (Vera and John) and confirmed my email address. I was able to make deposits normally. Suddenly, in the middle of the game, the casino blocked me. And I can't log into my account anymore. I asked their manager what the problem was. They replied that I need to send them documentation to confirm my identity.
I have now sent them all the required documents. I still can't log into my account. According to them, I had 26.90e left in their account. I think the amount was bigger, but I can't check because they blocked me and I can't log into my account anymore.
The question is, is this normal practice? I understand that I must confirm my identity before being discharged. What I don't understand is that the Casino has the right to suddenly block the customer's access to their account in the middle of the game, citing identity verification. Surprisingly, the deposit was successfully made without confirming the identity. I have sent them via their chat my bank details for refund. I'm not holding my breath that I'll ever get my money.
Thanks for the help.

Dear Antti1982,
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 takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.
Have you been informed what specifically seems to be a problem in verifying your account?
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,
Petronela

Hey!
This became clear. I had banned myself from their sister casino and at the same time requested a ban for all their casinos. For some reason I was able to open an account with them though?
Apparently then they realized their mistake and suddenly blocked my access to their casino.
I have now sent them my bank details and they promised to return all the deposits I made yesterday (€120) within 5-7 days.
Half the danger is the mood, if these responsible gaming tools work this well.
I hope they return my deposit and that's it.
Regards,
Antti
