I signed up at WestCasino to play.
I checked before what they accept as verification. Their term 5.5 (attached) state clearly driving license is accepted. this is specifically mentioned twice in that term. I only have this which is why I checked
West has said they do not accept driving licenses and seem to ignore their own terms.
I would not have signed up and deposited over 200 euros if my driving license was not listed. WestCasino has advertised to customers they accept driving licenses and if they are now trying to renegade on this they would be breaching eu consumer law and also be breaching advertising standards and agency regulations in terms of misrepresentation of sale.
I would need AskGamblers to help here as WestCasino are not behaving in line with their own terms,
I will email files separately for evidence as not working on upload.

Dear @denielhorvat,
As per the AGCCS Terms and Guidelines which you accepted upon registering and using our complaints system, you were obliged to provide the necessary level of assistance and cooperation during the process and providing updates in a timely manner is a must.
Due to the fact you failed to provide requested information to the Casino, the AskGamblers Complaint Team has no other choice but to reject the case.
And while we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind that in case of disagreement with our decision further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.
I signed up to the casino under the conditions of the contract, term 5.5, which listed driving license as acceptable. Had the term stated they could ask for various documentation on top of this I would not have signed up as I do not have these.
As stated ID cards are actually NOT mandatory pre 2020. They are chargeable and if the casinos insists upon it as a gesture of goodwill I will get one should the casino cover the €80 fee.
Otherwise under eu consumer law, asa regulation and misrepresentation of sale I would request a full refund of my €200 deposits and my account closed.
Dear @denielhorvat,
Based on the fact that it is a common practice for an Operator to request additional verification paperwork in order to finalize the player's verification process when needed, which has been also explained within the mentioned 5.5 Term itself ,we must advise you to cooperate with the casino and send the required national ID. In addition, it is of common knowledge that the Croatian identity card ( Croatian; Osobna iskaznica ) is an identity document issued in Croatia. Any Croatian citizen who is resident in Croatia can obtain an ID and it is compulsory for all citizens over the age of 18. This document is issued by the police on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior.
Please keep in mind that as per the AGCCS Terms and Guidelines which you accepted upon registering and using our complaints system, you are obliged to provide the necessary level of assistance and cooperation during the process, therefore please make sure to confirm by posting the public message if you have provided requested information.
Should you refuse sending the required verification paperwork, or fail to confirm, we will have no other choice but to reject the case and recommend you forwarding it to the relevant regulatory body.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Driving license is clearly listed, I signed up under this term of the companies contract. There is no term that states 'individuals from croatia cannot be verified with a driving license and must provide etc etc'. If this term existsed I WOULD NOT HAVE SIGNED UP AND DEPOSITED 200 EURO.
I have made clear i have no id card as this is not relevant to me. I also have no passport.
West casino have done their best to ignore their own term 5.5. However EU consumer protects consumers, if the company is now renegading on their own term and refusing me service I have made perfectly I am exercising my right, under said law, for my deposits to be returned to me with immediate effect. As a gesture of good will I have even provided my LTC address.
At this stage i have not instructed solicitors, however if WestCasino is now renegading on their term 5.5 and attempts the criminal act of theft I will move swiftly and aggressively through legal means to recoup my funds.
