On 02 Feb 2020 I created an account with BGO casino and deposited amounts adding up to £2500 from my PayPal account (I kept losing so this was across numerous transactions) BGO took my deposits no problem. I got my account balance up to £3032.50 when I decided I would make a withdrawal request (I reversed this a few times to carry on playing). On 03 Feb I had an email from the compliance team asking me for verification documents in the form of ID and proof of address. I sent in my driving license and a recent letter as proof of address but got told this was not good enough and they require me to take a “selfie” and hold my driving license up next to my face and a bank statement - which I did. No problem as I was expecting this as I have it with every gambling site.
The next day I tried to log into my account but it was “temporarily frozen”. So i contacted live support - They told me this was there normal process while I get verified. The next day I try to log in but still frozen. I contact live support again to be told they cannot comment on the situation and wait for the compliance team to contact me via email. 06 Feb account still frozen, so I contact live support AGAIN. They say the same we cannot comment on this situation. By now I’m getting very frustrated as any other site it takes a day or two at the most to verify my account no problem. Later on 06 Feb I receive an email from the BGO management team to say my account is closed, we will not communicate with you any further. I sent an email back asking for reasons behind my account closer and to pay out what is fairly due to me and no response. I want clear reasoning and justification to why my account is closed and you are withholding my deposit and winnings. I deposited my own money, fully cooperated with question and the verification process. You cannot just ban a players account and refuse to talk to them without any reasoning. I have played with many sites and never been treated this badly. It’s a total disgrace.
I can’t even submit a formal complaint to the casino because they aren’t replying to my emails!!

Hello,
I really do not understand the complexity of this case. At the moment my account is closed with no good reason, my initial deposits adding up to £2500 you have taken and no refund processed back to me - you are also withholding my winnings of £500. I gambled with my own money, followed all the rules. I could have lost but on this occasion I managed to win. Nobody has mentioned any complaints procedure to me and the management are just refusing to speak with me - It is extremely poor from a UK licensed gambling company.
It is quite simple, all i am requesting is what is fairly and rightfully due to me.
Hello,
Thank you for your response. We will update you as soon as we have an outcome.
