Good day

I have an issue with BitStarz Bitcoin Online Casino.

On the 28th of December 2020 I requested a withdrawal after making 5 deposits into my BitStarz online casino account. In total it was 9.89678893 BTC.

Here is the Bitcoin Address I paid to and the Blockchain link showing the transactions.

Address: 37wzzF­7M1­NZV­pVR­him­XhS­4pe­bXR­iwRPyxp

https:­//w­ww.b­lo­ckc­hai­n.c­om/­btc­/ad­dre­ss/­37w­zzF­7M1­NZV­pVR­him­XhS­4pe­bXR­iwRPyxp


During my gambling session, I won roughly 30 BTC. I made a withdrawal request and shortly after I received an email from Sean at from BitStarz Support (Ticket #W82TG) asking for Verification Documents.

I then sent what they requested.

- A copy of my passport.

- A photo of my face (selfie) with my government issued passport with a paper with the word Bitstarz and the date.

- My proof of address.

Doing that already made me uncomfortable because the whole reason for using Bitcoin is to stay anonymous. However, I did as they requested.

Later that day, I received a phone call from one of the Bitstarz support / finance department personal. I have spoken to him and he seemed satisfied.

Yes, after all of this, they reversed my withdrawal. I had over 40 BTC in my account. During some more gambling, I have lost and my remaining balance was +- 22 BTC.

After this, I received an email saying that they are blocking my account until they are satisfied with my verification. Which I've already sent to them.

As things stand now, my account is blocked. I cannot get access to the +- 12 BTC I've won, not even my own 9.89678893 BTC that I have deposited.

After numerous emails back and forth, I have requested that they return my original 9.89678893 BTC to the original address that I've sent it from. In turn, I received an email saying that they have seized the BTC.

In my layman understanding of this is that they are not satisfied with my verification and refuse to return my original BTC to the original address it was sent from. In other words, they literally stole 9.89678893 BTC from me. I have done what they asked and they still are not satisfied.

I humbly request that you assist me in this matter. 9.89678893 BTC is a lot of money that I cannot just write off. They said something in one of the emails about AML legislation etc which is absolutely ridiculous. All I ask is that they return my original 9.89678893 BTC to the addresses it was sent from then there is no AML issues at all. Yes, they refuse and by the looks of things they want to steel my 9.89678893 BTC and the winnings on top of that.

I really hope that you would be able to assist me in this matter.

Kind regards,

Petrus < surname removed >

I am not satisfied with Bitstarz response. They are literally stealing my Bitcoin. That is why I reached out to a regulator hoping for a resolution from the regulatory body. Surely BitStarz cannot just do and steal what they want. Someone with regulatory authority needs to make a decision and force them to return my BTC.

Good day

I thought AG was the regulatory body. Maybe I missed it, but I could not find contact information or the name of the regulatory body on the BitStarz website. I only found the complaint submission link which lead me here to AskGamblers.

If you could provide me with the necessary information I will certainly open an official case against BitStarz.

I wish it doesn’t have to go that far and that this matter can be resolved quickly.

Hi

I have already sent a selfie and the paper upon my first withdrawal. I have taken their phone call and each time they change the rules.

I expect my withdrawal to be paid out within 24 hours. I have played nice up to this point, but this is now carrying on for weeks after I have given them their initial required documentation.
