Account closed and CAD37000 has been stolen


3 years ago

I started playing on Casumo in 2022. During 2022, I played sports and slots and ended up depositing around $20,000 CAD in total. Casumo had verified my identity and address previously, and were fine with me making both deposits and withdrawals. I had ups and downs on my account, but eventually ended up going on a hot streak and built up a balance of over $90,000 CAD by March 2023. I successfully completed 2 withdrawal requests, for $4,800 CAD each, on March 16, 2023 and on March 27, 2023. When I went to submit another request on April 7, 2023, it got denied and my account was marked as unverified: they now asked me for some extra information, after at least a year of depositing and withdrawing with no problems:

Hi Christopher,

Here at Casumo, we want to ensure that our players are not only enjoying themselves but are also spending within their means and using only funds you can afford to.

To verify your Casumo account please provide us with the most recent tax return in pdf.

Please understand that we need to clarify this with you in view of our regulatory obligations and also keeping in mind the safety of our customers, therefore it is important we understand the origin of the funds deposited on Casumo

Please appreciate that we may need to request further clarifications or supporting documents from you.

Kind regards,

Liz

Casumo Player Protection"


I complied and sent them all of the information they requested. They then continued to ask for more and more information from me, over a series of emails that lasted around a month. After I gave them all of the information I could possibly give, and continued to bug them every few days for status updates, they eventually marked my account as fully verified around the start of May, and let me do some withdrawals. I looked in my acount on May 1st and saw that it was verified, and confirmed with the following email from my VIP rep on May 2nd:

Hi there, Christopher!

Miguel here from the amazing Loyalty Team! How are you doing today?

Apologies for the long wait. I have some great news though. I have checked for an update and I can see that your account has now been fully verified and no further documents or explanations are needed! Thank you so much for your cooperation and patience throughout this process. It is very much appreciated. I hope you continue to enjoy your adventure with us now that this process has been completed!

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us via email or Live Chat.

Best regards

Casumo Account Manager"


After getting that confirmation email, I completed the following withdrawals successfully:

  • $9,500 CAD on May 1, 2023
  • $9,450 CAD on May 10, 2023
  • $7,597.00 CAD on May 15, 2023
  • $9,500 CAD on May 23, 2023
  • $9,500 on June 7, 2023
  • $9,218.00 CAD on June 15, 2023

On June 29, 2023, I tried submitting another withdrawal request. I received an email saying "Your withdrawal was cancelled", with the following extra information:

"Your withdrawal has been cancelled as we haven't received the documentation required to verify your account.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sent with ♥ from Casumo"


I tried logging into my account, and found that it was closed. I emailed my VIP rep, but he just said that another team had decided to close my account, and he couldn't provide me with any more information:


"So so sorry for the late reply! I've looked into this for you and it has been decided that as a business decision, we have decided to close your account with us.

At this moment the case is still being reviewed I have no further information that I can provide at this moment. We will get back to you with feedback on this in due course so I would ask for your patience and the relevant team will get back to you with feedback accordingly.

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us via email."


I'm not able to log in to see my balance or verify dates, but after my last withdrawal I had around $37,000 CAD left in my account. I've tried following up with Casumo a few times, but just keep getting the same type of response. It seems like they were happy to keep my account open when I was losing a lot and depositing thousands of dollars with them, but started to do all sorts of sketchy things as soon as it was clear that I wanted to take some of that money back out. Unless AskGamblers can help, I'll be telling everyone I know to stay clear of this site because it looks like a big scam.

I don't care about not being able to play at Casumo anymore, but won't be happy until they pay me out in full

Dear all,

As apparent from the submitter's latest post, the AskGamblers Complaint Team is pleased to announce the case has been resolved and closed.

We thank both parties for their assistance during the complaint process.

I am fully verified already.

As my account is closed, I'm not able to access the live chat service. I've tried emailing your support team at [email protected], as well as emailing my Loyalty representative directly. In both cases, I was told that my account was closed and they couldn't provide any further information.

I've now waited around 2 weeks for them to get back to me as promised, but haven't received anything. I complied fully with the verification process back in April, and was told "thank you for going above and beyond" on the information that I've provided to Casumo, so any deflection from your part on this being a verification problem is laughable.

As it stands now, the email addresses you told me to contact are unresponsive, you've closed my account so that I can't see any details, and you're holding a very large amount of money that I won fair and square. I'm happy to work with the AskGamblers team to provide any information necessary to get this resolved.

Withdrawal and verification delayed for nearly two months

Hello AskGamblers,

I am submitting this complaint regarding the significant delay in processing my withdrawal and account verification.

I requested a withdrawal of approximately CAD 43,000 on May 17, 2026. It has now been nearly two months, and my withdrawal is still pending due to an ongoing verification process.

Since then, I have fully cooperated with every verification request made by Casumo.

Throughout the verification process, I have promptly submitted all requested documents, including:

- Payslips

- Bank statements

- Explanations and supporting documents for transactions shown on my bank statements

- Explanations and supporting documents for ATM cash deposits

- Additional identification documents

Every time Casumo requested additional information, I responded within one day.

The last additional documents were submitted on June 12, 2026, and since then, I have continued to wait patiently.

However, despite my full cooperation, my account remains locked in verification status, displaying the message that my verification is still in progress.

What concerns me the most is the lack of communication. During this waiting period, I contacted Casumo's live chat several times because I was desperate to receive an update. Unfortunately, I was repeatedly told only that my case was still under review and that I would receive an email once the verification had been completed.

On June 29, I was informed that my case had been escalated to the superiors. However, since then, I have received no further updates, and I am still waiting without any indication of when the verification process will be completed.

In addition, I sent another email to Casumo over two weeks ago requesting an update, but I have not received any response.

I completely understand the importance of verification and AML procedures. However, a verification process lasting nearly two months without any meaningful updates or an estimated timeframe is, in my opinion, unreasonable.

I have fully complied with every request and simply wish to receive my approved withdrawal, and I have waited enough... I wish I could get my winnings as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Not processing 11600 GBP for 6 weeks

I am writing this complaint because for the past 6 weeks, I have had 3 pending withdrawals from my account, which I have still not received. I requested these 3 withdrawals on the 22nd May, and today is now the 25th June, and I have not received them.

On 22nd May, I deposited £1,500 into my account. Please note that at this time, my account was fully verified and there were no restrictions or issues around either depositing these funds or using these funds on my account. I have been a customer of Casumo for over 6 months and have never had any issues. I was able to use these funds within my account freely, and on the same date, I made 3 withdrawal requests, one for £6,000, one for £5,500, and one for £100. I was unable to make the withdrawals in one attempt as it said that the amount exceeded the maximum withdrawal limit.

Almost immediately, I was requested by the live team chat to send in a bank statement of the card that I used to deposit the £1,500 on 22nd May, as I had requested my withdrawal to be actioned to the same bank account. I swiftly sent this document in on the 22nd May, and I received an email stating that it was approved and that there was no further action on my end for my 3 pending withdrawals to be actioned and processed to this requested bank account, which is the same account that I had used to deposit the £1,500.

I was told by the live team chat that these withdrawals would be processed shortly by the withdrawals team and that I should receive them within 24 hours, as per usual.

I waited until the 26th May; however, I did not receive any of these 3 withdrawals, and so I contacted the live team chat again, as there is no telephone number to be able to call. I was then told that all 3 of my withdrawal funds are completely secure and that it has already been escalated to the withdrawals team and perhaps due to the overall amount exceeding £10,000, the withdrawals would have to go through additional checks, prior to processing the withdrawal, but then they again reassured me that my withdrawal funds were completely secure and that this additional check would only take up a maximum of a couple extra days and so I should receive the 3 withdrawal funds within a week of the overall request.

Then, on the 27th May, I noticed that I had a new verification request outstanding for proof of ID and proof of address. I swiftly uploaded these documents, and the proof of ID and proof of address documents were accepted fairly quickly. I then once again checked in with a live agent again and it was then confirmed to me that there are no outstanding verification documents required on my end and that there was no further documents at all required for their withdrawals team to be able to process these 3 withdrawals to my requested bank account and that they would again escalate it to the withdrawals team and so I should receive it very soon. I then requested a contact for the withdrawals team, but I was informed that there was none and that even the live chat team was unable to get in contact with the withdrawals team, and that I should send in an email, which I then did so.

However, I then received an email on the 1st June from the Player Protection Team, requesting information about some transactions on my bank statement that I had previously provided, along with some documentation requests. I replied to this email on the same date with the information requested and the details of those transactions. I also received another verification request on the 1st June within the verification section on the app (which was more than 10 days after my 3 withdrawal requests, and which at the time of these 3 withdrawal requests on the 22nd May, my account was fully verified, so there was no need to delay the withdrawal, but also up until the 1st June, it was confirmed by multiple live chat agents that everything on my account was verified and so that the 3 withdrawals could be processed very soon), I then received 2 new requests asking me to upload proof of income and provide my source of wealth.

Anyways, on this date (1st June), I then uploaded the bank statement for the period from 1st April 2026 - 30th April 2026 and my April payslip, but these were rejected via email on the 4th June with the reason that the bank statement did not cover the whole period of April and then also that the payslip was not sufficient enough to cover my net loss for my account. First of all, I want to make it clear that in fact this bank statement that I uploaded did in fact cover the whole period of April 2026, but also I do not see the importance of my payslip not being able to cover my net loss for my account should then delay my 3 pending withdrawals; if anything, it should only prevent me from further depositing any funds.

Regardless of this, I have then replied to this email again on the 4th June, with my bank statement for the period from 1st April 2026 - 1st May 2026, thus again covering the whole of April, but this time adding in an extra day to make it extra clear. In this email, I explained that although there are no transactions past the 12th April 2026, you can clearly see the statement does cover the period from 1st April 2026 to 1st May 2026, as shown by the top right-hand side of the document. Regarding the April payslip being rejected, I was requested to upload a PDF of my SA302 Tax Return for the 2025/2026 period, as my proof of income and my source of wealth, which I then did directly within the verification section of the app.

Please note that, as I have mentioned, my deposit on the 22nd May was for a total of £1,500 and there was no restriction on this. My account was fully verified at the time of depositing, but also at the time that I requested the 3 withdrawals. These additional verification requests only came on the 1st June, and so I do not understand why these have caused such long delays to my 3 withdrawals from the 22nd May.

On the 8th June, I then received another request, stating that everything was closed off now, except for my proof of income and my source of wealth. However, both of these documents have been shown as 'rejected' within the verification section of the app, but I never received an email to explain why. On the 11th June, I then received another email stating that 'my account is under review' and when I log into the app, it shows that my verification for both of my source of wealth and my proof of income has still failed. There was no reason provided in the email I received (the email only states that 'my account is under review' and does not mention the verification of my source of wealth and proof of income failing at all), and the live team chat is unaware of why this has failed. I have uploaded the exact documents that were requested from me, which were a PDF of my 25/26 SA302 tax return, as this shows my income from various sources of income in this period and thus also my source of wealth, which is from these multiple income sources. I have since sent in multiple emails regarding this as I am not sure why these documents were rejected when I in fact uploaded the exact documents that were requested of me by their team.

On the 22nd June, I then received another email (which did not address any of my questions regarding the source of wealth or proof of income verification failing) but instead requested me to send in another bank statement for the period of April 2026, which showed my source of wealth. I responded to this email saying that my SA302 Tax Return for the 2025/2026 period, which I had already provided was the best document for this, but I had then also attached my savings bank account statement, covering the whole period of April 2026 and explained that my various sources of income (which my SA302 Tax Return for the 2025/2026 period shows) is the source of the funds for this account.

I then had a further response on 26th June saying that those verification rejections are actually system-generated and that I should ignore them, and that they have received all my documents and information and are still conducting this account review but are unable to tell me how long this will take.

I have responded to that email (to which I have had no response) stating that I am happy for them to conduct this account review, but I see no reason as to why they should still withhold my 3 pending withdrawals from the 22nd May 2026 whilst they do this. I mentioned that I have already provided them with my SA302 Tax Return for the 2025/2026 which shows how I am able to support my deposits and thus shows the legitimacy of my funds and thus there is no reason whatsoever why they should look to delay these 3 withdrawals from the 22nd May any longer.

It has now been 6 whole weeks since these 3 withdrawals have been pending.

Kindly please assist me with this.

Verification of identification failed for a week
Hi Askgamblers,

I won 60 000$ on casino casino. I withdrawn 8000$ and got all 4 Interac payments. Then I won 52 000$ few days later. Since then they ask for verification process: proof of address, proof of identification and other documents.

- I passed the address verification (verified) quick
- Proof of identification (Constantly Rejected)

I asked for a manual verification after 15-20 times being rejected. My documents and IDs are valid and legal and delivered accordingly by my State Government.

Talked with the fraud Department and they told me they would push the case further. Talked with the support live chat ( also told me they opened a ticket to get this verified manually and get my documents verified). 4 days ago. They told me they would contact me via email but since then no answer no email return after 3 more reply from my side. (Radio silence) Can’t withdraw my money.

It’s been more than a week trying to get verified sending perfect crystal clear pictures of my IDs, bank account statements, health insurance card ID, and selfies. Reasons for failing to verify. They then asked for my passport which I don’t have because I don’t travel. 4 days without any update neither a reply to my 5 recent emails. Went to chat 4-5 times repeating the same things.

- wrong documents
- too blurry
- missing information

The list goes on.

I’m asking Casumo to take the matter higher and get my IDs approved manually checked by the verification team. Which I already sent all documents they asked via email.

Withdrawals still pending after 3 weeks

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the handling of my account and withdrawals with Cosumo Casino.

I deposited funds into my account and played using only my own deposited money. I did not use any bonuses, promotions, or additional offers at any stage.

Following my gameplay, I made two withdrawal requests:

  • £200 on 22 April 2026
  • £3,210 on 24 April 2026

Both withdrawals were immediately placed into a pending status while I was asked to complete a verification process. I fully cooperated with all requests made by your team and supplied every document requested, including identification documents, photographs, and any other verification information required. I was eventually informed that my account had been fully verified.

Since completing verification, I have repeatedly attempted to contact your company to understand why my withdrawals continue to be delayed. For the past several weeks, I have contacted your live chat service on most days, often twice per day, asking for updates and explanations.

Unfortunately, I have received no meaningful assistance whatsoever. The live chat agents continually provide automated or generic responses and nobody has been able to explain:

  • Why my withdrawals have not been processed
  • Why there is still a delay after full verification
  • Whether there are any further issues with my account
  • Whether any further information is required from me

I also raised a formal complaint over a week ago and only received an acknowledgement email. Since then, I have sent eight separate follow-up emails requesting updates and asking for an explanation, yet none of these emails have received a response.

At no point have I been informed of any issue with my account, nor have I been asked to provide any additional documents or information. I have complied fully with every request made by your company.

I am now 80 years old and this situation has caused me considerable stress, both mentally and physically. I simply want my withdrawals processed and my money returned to me. Instead, I feel I am being ignored and sent in circles without any proper communication or support.

I have attached copies of:

  • My emails requesting updates
  • The acknowledgement of my complaint
  • Screenshots of my live chat conversations over the past several weeks

These attachments clearly demonstrate the repeated lack of response and the failure to provide any meaningful explanation regarding my withdrawals.

Pending withdrawal after everything verified
I am submitting this complaint due to an unreasonable and prolonged delay in processing my withdrawals with Casumo, combined with a lack of transparency and inconsistent information from customer support.

My account is fully verified. There are no pending documents and no outstanding requests from Casumo. I have already provided my source of funds from my employment, which has been reviewed and verified, as it has been previously.

No bonus was used at any point. All gameplay was conducted using my own deposited funds only, without any promotional bonuses or wagering conditions involved.

Despite this, my withdrawals have now been pending for over 11 days, which is well beyond the timeframe stated in Casumo’s Terms and Conditions. During this period, I have contacted live chat numerous times and spoken with multiple agents. Each time, I receive the same generic responses, such as:

– “Your withdrawal is processing.”

– “It is a large payout.”

– “The relevant team is reviewing the matter.”

– “You will be contacted by email.l”

However, no concrete explanation, reason for delay, or clear timeframe has ever been provided. No additional documents have been requested, and no compliance issues have been communicated to justify the continued delay.

I have acted in good faith throughout this process, complied fully with all requirements, and remained patient and cooperative. I am not seeking any special treatment — only the processing of a legitimate withdrawal of funds that I personally deposited, in line with Casumo’s own policies.

At this stage, I feel that I am being kept in a repetitive loop without meaningful information or accountability. This situation undermines trust in the payment process and leaves the customer without clarity or recourse.

I am opening this complaint to seek transparency and resolution, as internal support has not been able to provide a clear answer or timeframe after more than 2 weeks

I remain confident that this issue can and should be resolved promptly and fairly.
