The player from Luxembourg had been asked multiple times by the casino to undergo a KYC check to withdraw the winnings. The player had been confused about the verification process and the specific documents required. Despite multiple interactions with the casino, the player had felt the responses were automated and lacked clarity. We had intervened by facilitating communication between the player and the casino, and also requested to review the documents in question. The issue had eventually been resolved, although the player remained dissatisfied with the casino's communication. The player had thanked us for our assistance and the complaint had been marked as 'resolved'.

Hello!
To use all the functions of your account, including withdrawing your winnings, it's necessary to undergo a standard KYC check process. We ask you to upload the following documents in your profile under the tab "KYC Verification" and to contact us:
1) A document proving your identity (Identity card, driver's license, passport);
2) A photo of both sides of your credit card: 401188******3307/09/2024. The first six and last four digits should be visible. (The CVV code should be concealed, the card should contain the holder's signature).
3) A high-quality photo in which you hold your identification (ID card) and credit card in your hands next to your face;
4) A document that can prove your domicile (e.g. a copy of a bill or utilities statement). The document should have been issued within the last three months.
To pass the identification process, you should provide all data in high quality.
For any further queries, please contact usChat
Best regards, Brooke
VulkanVegas Customer Support
I did this, sent the photos to Vulkan Vegas, and waited to see whether the photos would be accepted or not.
However, I received no response, and then received a new request, without any explanation as to which documents were accepted and which were not. I find this to be quite unprofessional, nothing has happened since then.
Can you please contact the casino regarding this, or am I mistaken ?
Here is their second request - it seems rather ridiculous to ask for a KYC for an amount of roughly 70 €, I also don't know how to process it
To use all the features of your account, including withdrawing your winnings, it is necessary to perform a standard KYC check. For this, we ask you to upload the following documents in your profile on the "KYC Verification" tab and get in touch with us :
1) We ask you to provide a bank statement from the non-personalized 401188******3307/09/2024 where the card number and the full name of the holder can be seen, or to provide a screenshot from the personal account where the card number and the full name of the holder can be seen.
2) A document that can prove your residency (e.g. a copy of a bill or utilities statement). This document should have been issued within the last three months.
To pass the identification procedure, all data must be of high quality. Thank you

Dear kniwli,
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.
- Have you sent the requested documents to the casino again?
- When have you sent the documents and when was the last time the casino responded to you?
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

Hi,
I wonder why the casino didn't request it at the beginning.
I have a question, what kind of documents do you have to send in for KYC, that has never been asked of me before. I thank you for every answer.

Hello,
I'll give you more details about my case.
Credit cards issued by the post office have no name, I can also send these to you.
That's why I sent Vulkan Vegas a authentication certificate (or RIB = relévé d'identité bancaire) of my account, that should theoretically be fine, but I haven't heard anything from Vulkan Vegas, and that's for over 7 days, it's desperate.
Somehow you can't shake the suspicion that the casino is simply abusing its claims (which are legitimate) and the customer is simply not informed.
I also wonder why Casino Guru Vulkan can rate Vegas so highly, these visibly intentional problems are just a shame.

If the card without your name on it was issued to you, I believe there will be a way to complete the verification process.
Does your bank statement include records of the card number used for transactions?
Could you please send me there correspondence between you and the casino with the new requirements the casino requested from you? My email is tomas@casino.guru

Hello, I hope so too, but it is very frustrating to see that you have not received a single message telling you which document was accepted and which was not. Rather, it seems that all the answers are simply computer-generated; it is certain that no one has looked at these emails yet.

Hello Vulkan Vegas,
I have send you all these documents, but I never got an answer what was accepted and what was not acccepted.
All these answers seem to have been computer generated, I am afraid.

Since we still do not know the specific problem with your submitted documents, could you please send me the documents mentioned by the casino support to miroslava.d@casino.guru ? We will try to take a closer look at why the casino might have a problem approving them.
Thank you for your cooperation,

At some point it's enough. More effective means are being considered, as is done in the milieu.

I just want to solve this case, but there is not the slightest will on Vulkan Vegas' part to do anything to solve the case - I sent Vulkan Vegas an invoice from January 2024, and I was told that the invoice was out of date .
Everything in life has its limit, do you want to be fooled in the long run?

Dear kniwli,
I need to change the status of the complaint according to the current state.
- If you submitted a complaint to MGA, please send me a confirmation, that the MGA will engage in handling this complaint, and I will change the status to "waiting for regulator decision",
- or If not, please send me the documents mentioned by the casino support to miroslava.d@casino.guru. We will try to take a closer look at why the casino might have a problem approving them.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Marka,
I want to thank you for your help ( especially for giving me an idea about a screenshot on my Credit Card
The problem has been solved. It is a liitle bit sad, that I got no explanations what and why what document was accepted or not, there was no answer to my questions from Vulkan Vegas, and I had no idea what a KYC verifycation is really about.
Have a nice wekkend,
