Hi.

I signed up at the Casino for a while ago bee they are rated with more and 9 stars at your Casino (9.04) for the moment.

Wednesday 29/3 I was able to win 22.000 Sek (2.200 Euro) and I sent in all my papers 9:30 PM and asked them how long I have to wait for the kyc.

The say I have to wait up to 48 hours, the second time the said 48 hours not up to 48 hours.

The mail under is sent this evening one hour before the 48 hours passed.

I means they just sit there and wait until 48 hours passed and then after that "maybe" have a look at my papers.

I wait for a withdrawal of 22.000 Sek and regarding they terms they ask for verifikation over 23.000 sek (2.300) Euro.

So my misstake was that I send the kycs to them before the asked me for them beq I think they should hand this in a serious way, but they don't akt like a 9 star casino should do.

I wait for withdrawal and now mor than 48 hours passed and the kyc verifikation is not even done.

I have not act like that if they have 6 or less stars on your site.

So I felt that I need to open a case here to help me solve that SLOW process.

Regarding there own terms they don't need to do a kyc under 2.300 Euro and the still hold my withdrawals.

5.5. The identity of the player will be verified on cumulative withdrawals of €2,300
5.6. In certain circumstances we may have to contact you and ask you to provide further information to us directly in order to complete the Checks. If you do not or cannot provide us with such information then we may suspend your Account until you have provided us with such information or permanently close your Account. Additionally, you will have to provide identification whenever you make a withdrawal of funds amounting to Two Thousand Three Hundred Euros (EUR 2,300) or more.

The answer from them.

Unfair confiscation of $2011.00

On March 28th I deposited $ 1970.00 at Viks Casino, and I did not requested any bonus. After some bets at live roulette I requested a $ 4001.00 cashout. On March 29th they sent me an email requesting my documents to go through the verification process. On the same day I sent the requested documents, and the next day they replied that my account was verified. As of April 2 Viks Casino began to act dishonestly. After complaining about the delay in processing the cashout, they sent me an email requesting new documents and saying that the document I sent was expired, even though they had approved the document 2 days before. I showed them that the document was not expired and also sent a selfie holding my ID. The next day they agreed with me, but my cash out was still pending. Whenever I complained about the delay in processing my withdrawal, they always gave me the same response saying that they would send my request to the finance department to speed up the processing time. On April 6, after a new complaint, they told me that the withdraw was undergoing security checks. And to my surprise, today, April 10, they told me that my winnings had been confiscated because of opposing bets, which is a breach of their terms and conditions. They did not process my withdrawal and returned to my account just $1990. I asked them to tell me specifically which rule I breached, and they told me it was this: "11 COLLUSION, CHEATING, FRAUD AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY • Undertaking fraudulent activities to your advantage, including the use of a stolen, cloned or otherwise unauthorised credit or debit card, as a source of funds;" I answered saying that I was not understanding their decision. I did not do anything that fits these hypotheses. What fraudulent activity could I have committed to gain advantage? I made bets only with my own money. I did not use bonuses. I also did not use stolen or cloned credit cards. But they always give me the same vague answer that the winnings were confiscated due to opposite betting, which is a breach of our terms and conditions. Now I can not even log in to my account and the new $ 1990 withdrawal has not been processed either. I can prove everything I'm saying through emails. I've never seen anything like it. Viks Casino is simply stealing me. I never ask for bonuses just to avoid this type of problem. I just made some bets, I won and now they do not want to pay me. What's worse is they do not even give an explanation. They just say I made opposing bets. I wonder what this is? What kind of advantage did I get out of it?

Unfairly confiscated withdrawal

on friday night (3/3/17) i set up an account at viks.com. i deposited 700.00 gbp into my account in total. at the same time i had an account at playfrank which I came to discover a few days later that it is also run by everymatrix. i sent in a request to self - exclude from play frank but still had my account open at viks.com as i was waiting for my withdrawal to come to me which was for 1700.19 gbp.

on sunday morning (5/3/17) I got an email from everymatrix to say that my account with playfrank was now self excluded and the self exclusion period had now started. i got an email 2 minutes later to inform me that they rolled back my withdrawal request on my viks.com account and put 700.19 gbp back into my account so i could withdraw it. it did say that 1000.00 gbp withdrawal was a success but i have since been told by viks.com that they have confiscated this as i was self excluded. this is wrong as my self exclusion started on 5/3/2017 and in this case my winnings have unlawfully been confiscated.

whilst i am not a person who wants confrontation and an argument, I do expect to receive my winnings which i am rightfully entitled to. i was not self excluded at the time i made the deposits and made the withdrawals.

i have attached a copy of the screenshot which I took on the sunday showing the pending and so called successful withdrawals. what they have done is unlawful as the facts show that my self exclusion was active from 5/3/2017, 30 hours after my withdrawal request.

i am attaching a copy of the screenshot and emails to show the situation with regards to my withdrawals.

i look forward to your response.

kind regards
