BetSofa Casino - 終わりのない検証のため、プレイヤーの入金がブロックされています。

Hello,

I cannot request my deposit amount 200eur back from the casino because verification process is not completed more than a month already. All the time I provide requested document casino is asking to provide new. It seems casino doesn't want to return my own money back making verification process complicated. I really didn't expect that I need to go through such procedures to return my deposit. What an experience with this casino I have. It is even not a winning and I didn't use bonuses.

Dear Narima, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. 

Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one? Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and in the correct format? 

Which of your documents has not been approved in the verification procedure?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply. 

Best regards, 

Veronika

Dear Veronika,

Initially I provided my drivers license, certificate of fiscal status as proof of address and approval of payment method on 22.06. The drivers license and proof of address were rejected. Instead I uploaded my passport and bank statement on 23.06. and they were approved, I requested withdrawal of my deposited amount of 200eur. But casino rejected my withdrawal and required to send selfie with my passport. I sent selfie on 15.07. with delay because request from casino appeared in spam and I noticed it later. My selfie was rejected because both hands were not visible on photo and I uploaded new selfie on 22.07., which was approved but after that casino requested video selfie on 24.07. I have a doubt that casino will reject or have new requests of documents again and again not willing to pay me my own deposit back :(

Could you please send me all the communication between you and the casino customer support as well as any other evidence that could be relevant to the investigation of your case? My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru. Thank you.

Hello Veronika,

I forwarded all emails that I had to your email address.

Norma
