Betsafe Casino - Refused to pay 20 000€ in legitimate winnings without any reason

Hi,

As the KYC of the account failed, the account has been closed and the funds confiscated. This decision is final and the account will remain closed.

If the customer feels this is not the correct decision, we suggest she contacts our Regulater MGA.

But the KYC haven't failed it was approved by betsafe, until i won more money and then they closed down the account for a investigation. That investigation lead to that they told me that i broke against rule 8.11 and that they wouldn't change their minds.

I started a thread in a big swedish forum and they contacted me once more. We spoke on the phone and made a verification there that was approved there after they told me to send a photo of the pass that they got and there after they tell me that it didn't got approved by their apartment. How is it possible that my passport isn't approved? I already sent them id, with faceverification and everything that they have asked for.

Now once again they are telling me that this decision is final and that they wont change their minds. But they can't tell me why they are taking this decision neither on what grounds. To me that is a big question and i have read online that these kind of things happens once in a while. I think that it's the low deposits that lead to big winnings that is the problem. I can't understand why they are doing this.

I would like betsafe to clearify what is that didn't pass in the KYC

Again sorry for the language and hoping for everyone to be understanding.

We are still in the communication with the casino regarding the complaint.

Betsafe mailed me that they've sent it to another department that will take another look at it

Hi,

The documents provided by the customer turned out to be fake. therefore the account got closed and funds confiscated. The decision from our end is final.

If the customer wish to take this further, she can raise the case with our regulater, the Malta Gaming Authority.

If that's the case then can't they show you how it could be fake? There is nothing fake with something that i provided betsafe. My thought is that the issue is that i haven't made any big deposit and that is causing this. But im not accusing anyone for anything it's me who's getting accused for sending documents that aren't true.

Betsafe approved the documents. My withdrawal got back to my players account, i won around 5000€ more out of 50€ and after that my account got locked.

When speaking to them over the telephone they are nice and polite and tells me that they're manager will contact me and that the issue is open.

Hi,

You can take the case further with MGA if you wish to do so. They are our regulator and we will cooperate on any request from them.. From our end the decision is final.

Furthermore any communication from our end on Askgamblers is official and in line with the management.
