Won't accept my Government Issued identity card

I recently made a withdrawal at Star Games casino. I sent them a photo of my CitizenCard...which is issued directly from the governement. I do not have a passport and I do not drive...this is the reason why I paid £36 for this identity card. They have replied saying they cannot accept this card?? And need passport or drivers licence.

I do not have. And this identity card is the only other LEGAL identity card issued to residents of the Uk from the GOVERMENT...how can you not accept it? I have never had a problem with any casinos making withdrawals with this card. There is no logical explanation as to why they won't accept it...if it was a card that like the VALIDATE card which you can just get anywhere I would say fair enough...but this card comes directly from the UK governement. I had to pay them in order to get it.

Here is their website

Also here is another link regarding an investigation watchdog done on the card...proving them to be GOVERMENT issued

I won this money fair and square and your terms and conditions clearly stare you will issue winnings to player on receipt of valid ID. The ID you have is valid.

Dear Mr Jones,

We would like to resolve your old complaint that we have noticed is still unresolved.

We have looked in to your old account and in fact, you are correct in your statement. We did not accept your form of identity back in 2013, the reasons was due to the card not having an expiry date and it also not being something StarGames has seen before. We can assure you that our verification process is purely for the security and protection of both user and StarGames and although it might have seemed harsh at the time, it was for security and protection. Our rules and regulations at the time were different to what they are now, and I believe that our processes are more user friendly than what they were in 2013.

If there is anything we can do to restore your faith in our website, please do not hesitate to inform us.
 
Kind regards,
StarGames Support Team

Refuses to pay out winnings, will not provide reason and explanation why
Dear, I'm writting you complaint against Stargames casino for blocking my account and refusing to payout winnings. I have submitted a withdrawal request on 14.01.2017 night for the amount of 250,00€ and remaining balance was cca 50€ on my account. That night they blocked my account and asked for identitiy verification in order to pay me out. That identification procedure was as painful as getting a house loan, and after 13 days of struggle and multiple delivery of all documents, on friday 27.01 they wrote me, as their final decision: "Your money has been blocked and kept according to our general terms and conditions of play. Company reserve unlimited right to block and declare void all winnings whic are not gained honestly". Without any reason and/or explanation. All of this looks like online scam casino to me. I'm registered player for years. Played and paying a rake on winnings for quite time. And first time won something, and they blocked me and refuse to pay out for no reason just pointing to breach of the casino general terms and conditions, article G,H and I. Please help. I'm ready to provide you with all proofs necessary. Some data account related informations, I,m unable to get since they immediately blocked my account after payout request. My claim is at around 300€ (250 EUR was payout request and left cca 50€ on balance to keep on playing). Thank you in advance, Sandro < name removed >
