Account verification ended up in my account being closed and delayed £130 withdrawals
Hello there,
I have deposited thousands of pound into my account for many years in Casumo.
I have had my account verified and when I lastly deposited an amount of £10 and requested a withdraw of £90(won) - I ended up getting a document verification request. Which I have submitted and in the meantime while waiting I deposited another £10 and requested a withdraw request of £40(won).
After 5 days of waiting and endless amount of chat requests. I have received an e-mail saying:

Hi Ali,
I hope this email finds you well!
In order to create a safe and secure gambling environment and in line with regulations, we are regularly reviewing accounts, taking into consideration any source of wealth you have provided and comparing that to the level of spend on your account.
We also need to take into consideration, your affordability which means looking at your income and any regular expenses that you would need to meet on a monthly basis.
We have reviewed your account and based on our calculations your are spending more than your monthly affordability. For this reason we have closed your account from our end to ensure that gambling at Casumo does not become a financial burden in the long run.
We do understand that this is not the outcome you’ve expected, however, it is an action taken with your best interest in mind.

I have come to realise that reviews on Trust for the past few days were also negative - as almost the majority of the gamblers were requested to submit a document and ended up in the situation I currently am.
I requested a withdrawal of £130 to my account via chat and sent an e-mail in regards this and no reply, whatsoever.
I really hope that Casumo will be able to sort this out and I will be more than happy to choose another Casino to spend my earning at.
