The player from Japan had won a prize after using a first deposit bonus and had cleared the wagering requirements. However, a week after requesting a withdrawal, the funds were still under review with no progress, despite the player following all betting limits. The Complaints Team had intervened and facilitated communication between the player and Bets.io Casino, requesting additional information regarding the player's verification process. Ultimately, after a review, it was concluded that the player did not pass the verification call, leading to the complaint being closed as rejected.
At this casino, I used the first deposit bonus to play and won a prize. I cleared the wagering requirements for the bonus, so it was converted to cash. I then requested a withdrawal, but it has been about a week, and I have been inquiring with support. They keep telling me that the withdrawal is under review, but the review has not been completed. I followed all the betting limits and played the game accordingly, but there has been no progress.
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests.
That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint.
If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Thank you for reaching out regarding your withdrawal request. We appreciate your patience as we address this matter.
Upon reviewing your account, we have noted that you are not fully verified. As a result, we are unable to process your withdrawal at this time. We have previously sent you multiple requests to complete the verification process, but it appears these requests have not been addressed.
To proceed with your withdrawal, we kindly ask that you complete the verification as soon as possible. This will enable us to move forward with your case.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the verification process, please do not hesitate to contact us.
According to the internal team in the cryptocurrency wallet with the deposit confirmation, one screenshot must contain both my address and the recipient's address.
It seems that photos taken from the blockchain are not allowed.
From the wallet I use
They can only be photographed separately,
I have told them this many times but they have not accepted it.
The casino support person told me to contact the wallet, so I am currently contacting them.
Could you please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino, and you and the wallet company to kristina.s@casino.guru? Thank you in advance.
I was instructed by the wallet company to use EtherScan to submit my transaction history. However, today I received a Zoom call request from the Bets.io site. I was instructed by the site to inquire about the wallet company's transaction history, and even though I submitted the specified information, they continued to make further requests. How long should I respond to such requests?
Thank you very much, chibaba, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Stefan (stefan.m@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
I am so sorry to hear your account has not yet been verified.
Did you manage to have a Zoom call with the casino?
I will contact the casino and try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Now, I would like to invite a Bets.io Casino representative to join this conversation and help resolve this complaint.
Dear Bets.io Casino,
Could you comment on the matter?
Thank you in advance for providing the information.
I can only speak Japanese, but they asked me to call in English.
When they realized that this was not possible, they asked me to respond via chat, and while I was confused, I responded, but then I was given a warning that was either true or false, not to look for answers, and after spending an hour like an interrogation, I found myself in a situation where my KYC had not been approved for over a day, even though the authentication had been completed.
Thank you for reaching out. We have carefully reviewed your concerns and shared a detailed response regarding the matter. At this point, we are awaiting your feedback.
If you have any further questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact us.
First of all, I only have one account and there are no duplicates, and since I play alone, I do not provide access to my account.
To demonstrate this, I have complied with Bets.io's requests for identity verification.
Among these, there was a problem with the wallet that I could not do anything about, and I understand that I responded to the request for video call authentication to make final confirmation that it was me playing the game.
Based on the results of the video verification, we have determined that this decision to confiscate the funds has been made, so we will explain the situation to CasinoGuru.
Regarding Skype authentication, I was told that it would be completed quickly with just a few quick confirmations, but in reality, because I don't speak English, the conversation turned to chat over a video call and I was asked detailed questions.
First of all, the content of the game was from over a month ago, and the attitude was intimidating, so I'm sure there were some confusing moments, but even though he answered my questions immediately, I was told through chat not to make any moves that looked like I was looking for the answers, so I felt like it was leading questions with the intention of confiscating my data.
The video is in the possession of the casino, so we request that they submit it to Casino Guru.
The chat contents will be submitted by us.
Next, there is "Anti-Fraud Policy (2) In the event of attempted strategies or fraudulent activity," but I am planning to play the slots within the terms and conditions and withdraw any winnings I have won.
I used the first-time bonus, but that does not violate any rules. And isn't using a bonus not the player's strategy in the first place, but rather the distribution of the bonus itself the casino's strategy?
This is also a completely meaningless ground for confiscation.
These two grounds for confiscation are clearly unjustified, and we once again demand the return of our funds.
You did not respond to our previous message, so we are sending it again.
After a thorough review, we would like to clarify that our decision regarding your account remains unchanged, as it was made in strict accordance with our rules and policies. The decision to confiscate the winnings remains in force since the rules of our casino were violated. However, as there is an active dispute with you, namely a complaint on CasinoGuru, in the interest of resolving this matter amicably, we are willing to reach a mutual agreement.
Here is our proposal:
We can settle this by refunding only the deposited amount to your account if you agree to withdraw your complaint. Additionally, and this is important, you must acknowledge that you and the other players are connected, which was the basis for the casino's actions. By doing so, you recognize the violation of the rules, and we will proceed to return your deposit after these steps are completed.
This offer is made as a direct resolution between us and is not to be shared or disclosed publicly. We trust you will treat this matter with discretion.
We believe this approach allows us to find common ground while adhering to our platform’s principles. If you agree to these terms, kindly confirm, and we will proceed accordingly.
Since you did not reply to my previous message, I will send it again.

Furthermore, and this is important, you must acknowledge your connection with the other player, as this is the basis for the casino's action. In doing so, you will be made aware of the violation of the rules, and after these steps are completed, we will proceed with the refund of the deposited amount.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
My name was written in the reply I sent last time, so I would like you to delete it and publish this one instead.
I received this email.
My argument is based on the premise that I did not violate any rules, and I regret that the full refund of the confiscated items was based in part on the oppressive exchanges in the video chat. I would like the reasons provided and the exchanges in the video made public to a third party.
Unfortunately, we are not willing to accept mutual agreements without going through a third party.
Also
You must acknowledge that you are connected to other players by mutual consent.
However, I played under my own name and have never played with other players, so I cannot admit it.
I don't understand why they sent me this email after I contacted Casino Guru, and I don't trust them, so I would like to continue with the matter being arbitrated by a third party.
I responded to your email on December 3rd and haven't received any response from your side outside of an automatic message. Could you resend the email if you have responded to my email?
Thank you for reaching out to us. We want to assure you that we are actively working on your case and doing our best to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
At Bets.io Casino, we highly value each of our players, and resolving every case is our top priority. We kindly ask for your patience while we continue working on that.
They're even buying time for video authentication.
From the players' perspective, the casino trying to buy time is likely to be fabricating evidence of violations in order to confiscate them.
Also, given the circumstances of the exchanges over the past two months, it would be strange for the video verification to be the basis for confiscation, so I assume the video call was recorded, so please submit that to CasinoGuru as soon as possible.
One more thing to repeat,
If you agree to withdraw your complaint, we can resolve this issue by refunding only the amount credited to your account.
Even though we have already contested this withdrawal request through a third party, the casino continues to send us unfair emails. Will Casino Guru do anything about this?
Our team is interested in resolving this complaint, so a video call with the Guru team has been scheduled for January. In this regard, we ask you to postpone the timer until further notice.
It has been over a month since the casino refused to withdraw money, and over three months since the KYC dispute, and we have determined that the conditions for refusal are not met. We consider these exchanges to be an attempt to buy time, and we will be requesting an immediate return of our funds and withdrawal.
Casino Guru
KYC had already been done via video call, and that was the reason for the confiscation.
Doesn't the casino take this situation seriously regarding unjust confiscation and stalling by not providing evidence, such as not submitting video calls?
Also
If you agree to withdraw your complaint, we can resolve this issue by refunding only the amount credited to your account.
Please also let us know whether or not it is reasonable for them to directly propose this type of transaction.
In my opinion, what is particularly malicious is the attempt to avoid a third-party agency without any basis.
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to confirm that I have scheduled a call for tomorrow morning with the Bets.io Casino. We will let you know about the outcome.
It's taking too long to get to the conference call.
With this much time, there would have been ample time for the evidence to be disguised as a violation of the terms and conditions, which calls into question the veracity of the evidence.
It is also odd that there is no compensation for the opportunity loss caused by funds being withheld for more than three months.
You cannot use the $2,894 that should have been refunded to you, but the casino can use it.
Please also reply how you will deal with this matter.
I want to confirm that the video call with the casino happened yesterday. I have requested a casino to provide me with additional information from the video call which happened between you and the casino. I will review it after I receive it and will let you know about the outcome.
Dear Bets.io Casino,
Could you provide me with the relevant information via Skype?
Thank you for your recent participation in the verification process. We appreciate your efforts and the time you dedicated to the call.
After careful review, we regret to inform you that you did not pass the verification call. As a result, the casino will not be able to proceed with your verification, and the complaint will be closed as rejected.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out. I wish I was of more help.
