Pin Up Demands Impossible Verification and Withholds Balance_Verified Account Blocked

Dear AskGamblers team,


I am submitting this complaint regarding Pin-Up Casino, which has unjustly blocked my verified account, rejected my withdrawal request, and requested verification steps from a decentralized e-wallet that are not technically possible to fulfill. Despite fully verifying my account and providing all available documentation, I am still unable to access either my funds of $1740 or my account.


Account ID: 64198437


Summary of Events:


I successfully completed the verification process, uploading my national ID, confirming my phone number, verifying my email address and even provided facial verification through their platform. Shortly after, I received an email confirming that my account had been successfully verified.


When I attempted to make a withdrawal, Pin-Up blocked my request without explanation. Upon contacting customer support, I was told to send an email with details of my e-wallet and the deposit transactions — which I did that same day.


The next day, I received a reply requesting a screenshot showing personal details proving that I am the wallet owner. In response, I sent a clear screenshot of my Trust Wallet labeled with my name, and even submitted a screen recording showing my name on the wallet while navigating through the app and highlighting the deposit transaction made to Pin-Up.


In a separate email, I was notified that my account had been blocked without any stated reason and was advised to contact support to request an unblock. I did so via live chat and was told to wait for a response within 24 hours. The next day, I received a follow-up email stating that my account had been unblocked. However, I’m still unable to access it — every login attempt resulted in the same error: “Invalid transfer data. Error code 45”


Returning to the original email thread, I was again asked to send a screenshot proving that my personal identity details were linked to my e-wallet. I explained that this is not possible, as I use Trust Wallet, a decentralized wallet that does not collect or display personal user information. I also included a screenshot from Trust Wallet’s official support channel confirming that they do not offer identity verification or KYC of any kind.

As of today, more than 5 days have passed since my last reply, and I have not received any further updates or resolution. My account remains inaccessible, and my funds remain frozen without any reason.


Key Concerns:


Pin-Up has been inconsistent and unfair in their handling of this case:

Blocking and unblocking my account without any valid justification

Confirming that my account was unblocked, when I still cannot log in

Requiring verification steps that are technically impossible for decentralized wallets

Ignoring their own verification confirmation, despite my full compliance


Failing to meet their own stated response timelines, even after I promptly sent every document and clarification they requested.


I would also like to point out that Pin-Up is deviating from standard industry procedures by requesting impossible verifications that are not supported by decentralized wallets. I have used my Trust Wallet with other licensed online platforms without ever being asked to provide such unverifiable information. This makes their demands seem arbitrary and unfair, especially considering my account had already passed full verification.


What I Request:


I respectfully ask that AskGamblers assist in:

Fully unblocking my account (this was supposedly resolved, but the account remains inaccessible)

Allow my withdrawal to be processed to the same E-Wallet used for the transaction.

Ensuring Pin-Up no longer requires impossible verifications for self-custody wallets like Trust Wallet.

Thank you for your support and attention in helping resolve this matter.


Sincerely,

Dear Pin-Up Support,

Thank you for your response and clarification regarding the process. Although the required documentation was submitted over a week ago, and I was repeatedly asked to provide information that is not possible to obtain, I can now confirm that I am able to access my account and that the funds have been successfully received in my e-wallet.

Please consider this message as confirmation that the issue is now resolved from my side, as both the account and the withdrawal have been successfully completed.

Thank you again for your time and cooperation.

One of my withdrawal is missing

Dear AskGamblers Team,


I am writing to respectfully ask you to review my complaint and assist me in resolving a serious issue concerning a withdrawal from Pin-Up.


I won approximately 8,500 AZN (around USD 5,000) on Pin-Up and subsequently requested a withdrawal. The amount was divided into three separate transactions of USD 1,200 each.


The first transaction was successfully received, amounting to approximately 2,200 AZN. The second transaction was returned to my Pin-Up account. However, the third transaction is where the serious problem occurred.


For the third withdrawal, I received only five separate payments of USD 0.50 each. Despite this, the transaction was marked as successful, as if the full USD 1,200 had been sent to me.


I have contacted Pin-Up several times through their official email addresses, but despite waiting for seven days, I have received no meaningful response or resolution.


I have also contacted their live support repeatedly over the past seven days. Each time, I am given the same response that the issue will be resolved “during the day” or “within 24 hours.” However, despite these assurances, the problem remains unresolved.


As a VIP customer, I have also reported this issue multiple times by phone. Although Pin-Up representatives have acknowledged that there appears to be an error with the withdrawal, no actual resolution has been provided to me so far.


I would also like to point out that, based on information and complaints I have encountered, I believe this may not be an isolated incident. There appear to be numerous similar complaints from customers in Azerbaijan.


Furthermore, because of the daily banking transaction limit of five transactions in Azerbaijan, receiving five separate payments of only USD 0.50 can effectively prevent the customer from making or receiving further banking transactions that day. This creates a serious practical problem for customers.


I am also concerned about reports of potentially unauthorized transactions involving customer payment information. For example, a friend of mine claims that USD 260 was withdrawn from their account, which they believe was connected to Pin-Up personnel. I understand that such allegations require proper investigation, and I am prepared to provide the relevant evidence.


There are additional details and evidence regarding my case that I am ready to provide, including screenshots, transaction records, correspondence with Pin-Up, and other supporting documentation.


I respectfully ask AskGamblers to review my case, investigate the circumstances surrounding this withdrawal, and assist me in obtaining the funds that I am legitimately owed.


I would greatly appreciate your assistance and a prompt response.


Kind regards,

Additional Verification delayed from last 5 months
Dear Askgamblers Team,

I want to officially complaint against pin up casino.

My account Id on pin up casino is 21566135. When I joined this casino I liked it very much and really though this is one of the very best betting site in the world.

I lost too much money here and also won. That’s a part of game but never faced any difficulty in deposits or withdrawals. But then suddenly when I started playing with high stakes something happened. Around five months back when I won continuously 4-5 bets suddenly my withdrawal declined and when I contact support they told me you need to go through additional verification before getting a withdrawal.

My account was already verified but still they told me to do additional verification. I thought okay not an issue let’s complete it.

But then when I started the additional verification process this casino started their harassment and never ending process of verification.

One by one after every five days they request some new document and when I submit after five days they again request something new.

Over time I have submitted each and every document they asked me to submit. But still my verification is not been completed. Infact my account is also blocked and I have no access to it. I have over Rs 90,000 in my account but all they are doing is delaying my verification intentionally and not allowing me to withdraw my funds.

Now, askgamblers team you are my last and only hope. Kindly help me in resolving this issue with pin up casino.

Unjust seizure of deposits totaling 75000 INR due to impossible verification deadlines

I am lodging this complaint against Pin-up Casino regarding two missing deposits totaling 75,000 INR (50,000 INR and 25,000 INR). Despite providing all legal proof of payment, the casino has refused to credit my account and has informed me that my funds are "lost."

​Timeline of Events:

​The Deposit: I made two deposits (50k and 25k), which were successfully debited from my bank but never credited to my Pin-up wallet.

​Initial Evidence: I provided immediate proof via screenshots showing the Merchant Name, Date, Time, and UTR/Transaction numbers.

​The Impossible Demand: The support team demanded a PDF bank statement within a 24-hour deadline.

​The Obstacle: These transactions were made via Credit Card. As per banking regulations, official statements are only generated at the end of the monthly billing cycle. My bank confirmed it was impossible to generate a formal PDF statement mid-cycle.

​The Rejection: I explained this limitation to Pin-up support, but they refused to extend the deadline or accept the UTR screenshots as temporary proof.

​Final Submission: Once my billing cycle ended, I provided the official PDF statement. The casino then claimed that because I missed the initial "one-day deadline," my funds were forfeited.

​Key Points for Mediation:

​Proof of Funds: I have submitted the official PDF statement, which clearly shows the funds leaving my account and going to the casino’s payment processor.

​Unreasonable Deadlines: A 24-hour deadline for a monthly credit card statement is a physical impossibility. Using this as a reason to "loot" or seize a customer's deposit is predatory and against fair gaming practices.

​Enrichment: The casino has received my 75,000 INR. To keep the money without crediting my player account is a direct theft of funds.
