Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

The player from Australia won $4500 after a $30 deposit but faced repeated verification issues, including a rejected selfie due to shadows. Following these difficulties, the player discovered that her account had been blocked and was informed she would only receive a refund of the initial deposit. The Complaints Team concluded that the casino acted within its rights, citing concerns over the authenticity of the identification documents submitted. As a result, the complaint was not upheld, and the player was advised to ensure her identification was in good condition for future verification processes.

Dear Jel91288,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Zoome Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • What was the casino's justification for confiscation of your winnings? Did the casino cite any broken rules?
  • Was this your only deposit in the casino?
  • Could you please share with me your communication with the casino supporting your case? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Dear Jelessa and Casino Guru Team,


Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your account status. We truly understand how upsetting this situation must be for you, and we want to provide you with clarity and assistance.


Your account was reviewed as part of our standard verification process, which is necessary to ensure compliance with our security measures and the Anti-Fraud Policy outlined in section 10 of our Terms and Conditions.


During the verification process, it was determined that the documents you submitted did not meet the required authenticity standards. Specifically, instead of providing a photo with the original ID as required for verification, you submitted a photo with a printed and cropped copy of the document. This does not comply with our verification rules, which state that the photo must include the original ID to confirm the identity of the account holder.


As a result, your account was blocked, and the winnings were voided following our Anti-Fraud Policy.

Please know that we do not take such actions lightly, and they are only made after a thorough investigation. Our priority is to maintain a fair and secure gaming environment for all players, and we sincerely regret any frustration this may have caused.


Additionally, we would like to assist you with a refund of your initial deposit of 30 AUD. Please note that we had previously requested the necessary details for the refund on December 10th, but we have not yet received a response. Kindly provide the following details via email to support@zoome.casino:


  • Account holder's name (full name)
  • Account holder's address (city, street, building)
  • Account holder's email address
  • Bank name (full name of your bank)
  • Bank address (city, street, building)
  • Account number / IBAN
  • SWIFT (or BIC)


We value all of our players, and it is never our intention to cause disappointment. Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

Kind regards,

Zoome Casino

Dear Zoome Casino,

thanks for your message and email.

Dear Jel91288,

how many times have you tried to submit your verification pictures, please?

Public
Public

I submitted my verification selfie a couple of times but I only ever used the 1 picture of my I'd that I also provided a statutory declaration to them witnessed and signed by a J.P. which is a legal document I have used in NSW previously because I did not have the physical copy. But I also made the casino well aware of the situation, that Is why I went and got a new 1.

Dear Jel91288,

thanks for the update.

I would like to emphasize the importance of using official government-issued identification for verification purposes. This is a critical step for online casinos to ensure that funds are being transferred to the rightful owner and to maintain compliance with local laws and regulations.

Dear Zoome Casino,

I understand that the player did not provide the required ID upon request. However, given that it appears a new ID has been issued, would you be willing to grant this player another opportunity to verify their new document, please?

Dear Katarina,


Thank you for your follow-up.

We appreciate your inquiry regarding the possibility of reinstating Jelessa’s (Jel91288) account. However, we must confirm that the account cannot be restored.


This was a serious violation and an attempt to bypass regulatory requirements related to KYC verification. Such behavior constitutes a breach of our Terms and Conditions, and as a result, the account was permanently blocked. This decision is final and cannot be reconsidered.

Hello Jel91288,

We would like to update you that due to Katarina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Katarina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Katarina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Dear Jel91288,

Thank you for contacting us regarding your complaint. I understand this is a difficult situation, and I sincerely apologize that we are unable to uphold your complaint at this time.

After a thorough review of your case, we've concluded that the casino acted within its rights, primarily due to the condition and potential authenticity concerns surrounding your identification. As we lack the expertise to definitively verify identification documents, we were unfortunately unable to proceed with the complaint.

I recognize this is likely disappointing news. While I understand your frustration, I do want to emphasize the importance of ensuring your identification is in good condition and easily verifiable to avoid issues in the future. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best regards,

Katarina
