No response about verification documents and disabled contact and upload methods
Dear AskGamblers!
After registering, depositing, and playing on the site for a while, I managed to turn my 440 eur (total) deposit into 1806.86 euros, what I would like to withdraw, but can not.
The casino keeps asking me for new documents, but they won't contact me about it, every day I have to write for their chat agent to give me an update about my verification process, where they always tell me, that there is a new document requested. I have provided the documents both on chat and their internal document uploading interface. Today, they disabled my ability to get in touch through chat, and I can not upload through their internal interface.
The following documents were provided so far in the past 1-2 weeks:
- ID front and back
- bank statement
- screenshot about my Skrill account
- Selfie with my ID
- Selfie with my ID and the website in background
- Selfie with my ID and the website (profile dashboard) in background
As there were no complaints about the pictures, I am reasonably considering them accepted, but there is another one requested as of now:
- Photocopy (scanned version) of my ID in .PDF format, as requested by the chat agent.
I can not understand why it is needed, when I already uploaded the photographed version of it and the selfie versions as well. After asking them where is this exactly located in their terms and conditions, the chat gave me the following response:
"To verify your identity (KYC) we may need additional documents which could also include:
• Signed Credit Agreement"
Upon asking for what does that mean, how does that explicitly say that I need to take a picture AND scan the ID, I got the following response, and the chat was closed down upon me:
"Unfortunately, if we do not receive the scan of your ID in good quality we are legally not in a position to process your KYC. We encourage you to provide it enabling faster application processing times." - After this response, my chat was closed, I could not even reply, and after refreshing the page, the chat option is not appearing, I can no longer access the chat support. When I tried to upload the documents through their internal interface, I got the error message, "You cannot upload more documents of this type". I am trying to upload the document in a .pdf format, which was requested by the chat agent!
Their terms and conditions say the following as of 2022, May 25th:
"To verify your age we will accept one of the following documents:
• Passport (recommended)
• Driving license
• National ID Card
• Birth Certificate (verification takes up to 24 hours)
• Payment card (note that first 6 and last 4 digits should be visible and CVV should be hidden).
Card data shall not be collected and stored by Us without PCI DSS.
To verify your identity (KYC) we may need additional documents which could also include:
• Signed Credit Agreement
• Utility Bill (less than 6 months old)
• Bank Statement (less than 6 months old)"
As you can see, I have already provided all the documents needed to make a full verification according to their terms and conditions, uploaded even more documents that are NOT explicitly stated by their terms and conditions, and I am perfectly willing to do a Skype, or phone verification even, to verify that it is me playing.
But I can not go any further because my chat and upload options were disabled from now on, leaving me in a hopeless situation. I have sent an email with the attached photocopy document which was accepted in other legal matters before, but have not received any significant response yet at the time of this email.
To make sure the casino will not change any T&C because of my complaint, I have saved it in a .txt file and uploaded it as an attachment.
Thank you very much for helping me in this case!
