Verification issues despite sending all documents

The gaming operator took a transfer of 200$ from my debit card and immediately after that they locked my account for verification.

The game client tells me that "These security checks are usually completed within minutes". In my case I received an email from them requesting pictures of identity documents and utility bills. I supplied them on the same day. I did not receive a response from them. After two days I inquired about the status of the verification and did not receive any response. After third email And messaging them on Twitter I got a response however it was my fault I send a print screen from a mobile phone and they said they don’t accept print screen however I have send new documents in including a PDF file as they requested and a passport. This honestly so stressful I didn’t even want to file a complaint but it seemed like this is the only way to get a quicker response

At that point they finally told that they did not accept the utility bill picture I sent. Seemingly they had zero interest on informing me about that before I continuously contacted them via multiple routes. I submitted new utility bill picture immediately.

After that they didn't do anything to inform me about the process or contact me. I did another chat on Dec 9th where a customer service representative told me that they would reinstate my account in 15min. I has now been several hours since that and my account is still "locked for verification".

I do understand that the verification may Take some time but this is to much time for a site so established.

Now they do not communicate proactively.

The whole process of first taking my money transfer and then locking up my account so that they have the money and I can't use it, is very oddly designed. If they want to do verifications, they could deny the transfer and request for identity verification. And when verification is done, then the customer could do a transfer

Not being able to access my account

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am filing this formal complaint against PokerStars with the utmost urgency. I understand a previous submission may have been rejected; however, subsequent events have escalated the situation to a level of deliberate psychological abuse that I believe constitutes a Responsible Gaming emergency and requires your intervention as mediators.

My case is not about a simple payment delay, but about a documented pattern of conduct by the operator designed to inflict maximum stress and emotional harm.

Before narrating the facts, I want to make it clear that I have evidence to support every point I am about to mention. I have the entire chronology fully documented; therefore, this case is not an attempt at defamation.

Detailed Summary of the Pattern of Abuse:

The obstruction process from PokerStars has included multiple acts of bad faith, but I wish to focus on three key events that demonstrate a pattern of manipulation:

First Deception (May 26, 2025): After a month of a frustrating verification process, I received two official emails from PokerStars informing me that my account had been "reinstated." However, upon attempting to withdraw my funds, I discovered the account was still restricted. When I complained, they responded that the account was under a "security review," proving the reinstatement notification was deceptive.

Second Deception (June 8, 2025): The pattern repeated. I received another official email assuring me my account was verified and active. Again, this was false. The account remained blocked.

The Final Low Blow (July 11, 2025): This was the most cruel and calculated act. The sequence of events was as follows:

a. The False Resolution (11:32 AM): I received an email from agent "Saketh" with "very good news," confirming my account was reinstated. This time, I was able to log in, giving me a real sense of relief and resolution.

b. The Cashier Trap: My sole intention was to withdraw my funds and end my relationship with the site. Upon accessing the cashier, all my withdrawal requests were blocked with an "unexpected error" message. Access to my money was still an illusion.

c. The Live Chat Stall: Seeking help, I contacted live chat. An agent deliberately kept me waiting for 30 minutes without providing any solution, increasing my anxiety.

d. The Punitive Closure: At the end of the wait, and without any explanation, my session was terminated. When I tried to log back in, the final message appeared: "Your Stars Account has been closed."

Analysis from a Responsible Gaming Perspective:

PokerStars' actions constitute a total failure in their duty of care and clear psychological abuse:

Deliberate Emotional Manipulation: The pattern of falsely reinstating an account only to block it again is a manipulation tactic that creates a cycle of hope and despair. It is extremely damaging to any player's well-being.

Creation of a Hostile and Unsafe Gaming Environment: A responsible operator must ensure a safe environment. PokerStars has done the opposite, creating an unpredictable, stressful, and punitive experience.

Punishment for Attempting to Withdraw Funds: I was penalized at the exact moment I tried to exercise my right to withdraw my own winnings. This is not only unfair but sends a dangerous message to the entire player community.

Requested Resolution:

I request the mediation of AskGamblers to achieve two objectives:

The immediate release of all funds that PokerStars is wrongfully withholding in my account.

That this pattern of conduct be investigated and formally recorded as a serious Responsible Gaming failure to warn other players of the psychological risk involved in dealing with this operator.

I trust that your platform will recognize the severity of these tactics and the need to protect players from this kind of abuse.

Sincerely,

<full name removed>
