Insufficient evidence from player

REJECTED

Case summary

4 months ago

A regular player from Germany at Vulkan Vegas faced withdrawal issues despite having a verified account. The player submitted the requested documentation, after which the account was blocked due to alleged suspicions of money laundering. Despite multiple submissions of the required documents, including bank statements, the casino claimed the player failed to provide proof of ownership for the specified account and used an account that did not belong to him, violating the casino's terms and conditions. Due to the lack of sufficient proof and adherence to T&Cs, the complaint was rejected.

I've been playing at Vulkan Vegas since 2021 and have had no issues with withdrawals up to this point. Suddenly, they're asking for documents even though I'm already verified. I sent everything they requested, and then they blocked my account! When I contacted their support, they said there was suspicion of money laundering and that I need to send more documents. It's my money that's at stake, and I just don't know what I should do next. Can someone help me?

Dear Michi220,

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 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

I have been verified since 2022. The deposits and withdrawals have worked great so far, even for smaller amounts.

I was asked to upload another document even though I have been verified since 2022. I did that, but the casino kept removing it. I uploaded it 3 times and also received a confirmation email. This morning my account was suddenly blocked on the grounds that they wanted bank statements from the account I used to deposit in order to rule out money laundering, which makes no sense because it worked for years with smaller amounts.

I have sent everything and have paid out several times. My account was blocked with 47,000€ on it with the reason that documents were missing, but I also sent them by email

Hi Michi220,

  • Could you please advise if you already provided the requested document?

Please understand that the requested information is vital for the casino to ensure the legality of your funds and your financial capacity to participate in betting activities. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations are typically mandated by the Licensing Authority for the Gaming and Gambling Industry, and all licensed casinos must adhere to these policies. While the casino's verification process may seem stringent, it is not uncommon within the industry.

Thank you.

Yes, I sent the documents 4 times. My account was then blocked and they requested bank statements, which I also sent, several times. They said that my account would be activated as soon as I sent the bank statements. I get an email every day asking me to send them. Verification is enough for me, I sent everything.

Dear Michi220

Would you kindly comment on the following:

1) You've uploaded the proof of the ownership of the bank account that does not belong to you; this violates the T&Cs of the casino

2) You still have not provided a proof of ownership of the bank account de3520************0701. Would you mind sending it please?


Thank you for cooperation!

I have already provided the bank statement and I don't understand what the problem is. I had no problems with deposits and withdrawals for 3 years, but with this amount all at once? I either get the winnings of €47,000 or I take legal action against it.

Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino,


Do I understand correctly that the player did not provide the proof of ownership of the account he wants to withdraw the funds to, but instead he provided proof of ownership for another account, that does not belong to him?

Dear Michal

It sure looks like that.

The casino is ready to pay out the entire amount, as long as no T&Cs were not breached.

Dear Michal

Unfortunately, we can't confirm the player provided the requested proof of ownership of the account de3520************0701. The support constantly requests it via e-mail, but in vain. The player only threatens to go to court, etc.

Thank you, Vulkan Vegas Casino for the update.


The player couldn't provide proof of ownership of the casino account, although he was asked many times to do so, and was given the chance and time to respond. Having used somebody else's account goes directly against the casino's terms and conditions.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
