Bongo Casino - プレイヤーは、アカウント確認の遅延と LTC 為替レートの変動を懸念しています。

Hello! I am writing to ask for assistance, as the process of validating my account at this casino is taking longer than expected. On April 20th, I submitted all the required information that was requested, however, it has now been 14 days and each time I inquire via live chat, I am only informed that my account is still under review. This is very frustrating, especially because my balance is in LTC, and as the LTC exchange rate is volatile, I fear that it may plummet while the casino is verifying my account. Consequently, I could end up losing this money.

Добрый день! Я прошу помощи, так как процесс верификации моей учетной записи в этом казино затянулся. 20 апреля я предоставил все необходимые данные, которые были запрошены, прошло 14 дней, но в лайв чате сообщают лишь, что учетная запись на проверке. Это очень расстраивает, ведь мой баланс в LTC, а курс LTC нестабильный и я боюсь, что он может очень сильно упасть, пока казино проверяет мой аккаунт. В итоге я просто потеряю эти деньги

Dear Cintrol,

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. 

• Have you been informed what specifically seems to be a problem in verifying your account?

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,

Petronela

Good afternoon Unfortunately, I was not informed of the reasons for this delay. I received this message:

"Hello.

According to our Security Department requirements, we kindly request you to verify your identity before the withdrawal can be processed.

The verification process is a standard procedure that may take around 5 business days from the moment the requested documents of high quality were submitted. You can continue using your account for play while the verification process is ongoing"

After which he provided all the requested documents, but there was no answer about the results of the check. Although more than two weeks have passed.

The operator in the chat replies that the account is still being verified, but does not give any deadlines.

Добрый день! К сожалению, мне не сообщили о причинах такой задержки. Я получил такое сообщение:

«Hello.

После чего предоставил все запрошенные документы, но ответа о результатах проверки нет. Хотя прошло уже более двух недель.

Оператор в чате отвечает, что учетная запись еще проверяется, но никаких сроков не называет.

I have now received a response from support. Details are not disclosed, but I suspect that the block is for using a VPN to access the site, since it is blocked in Russia. As a result, my account is invalid and my funds are confiscated. Of course, this is my first and only casino account, and such actions by the casino are not true. I am asking for help in unlocking my account and withdrawing funds. Why does a casino accept players from Russia if access to casinos in Russia is closed and can only be accessed through a VPN. In this case, the player will lose everything for using a VPN. A vicious circle where only the player will suffer. It's not fair.

Here is the response from support:

"Hello,

Сейчас я получил ответ от службы поддержки. Детали не раскрываются, но я подозреваю, что блокировка за использование VPN для получения доступа к сайту, так как он заблокирован в России. В итоге мой аккаунт недействителен, а средства конфискованы. Разумеется, это мой первый и единственное аккаунт в казино, а такие действия казино не соответствуют действительности. Я прошу помощи в разблокировке аккаунта и выводе средств. Зачем казино принимает игроков из России, если доступ к казино в России закрыт и получить его можно только через VPN. При этом за использование VPN игрок потеряет все. Замкнутый круг, где пострадает только игрок. Это несправедливо.

Вот ответ службы поддержки:

Hi Cintrol,

• We will contact the casino and ask for supporting evidence, but, before we do so, could you please advise if, to the best of your knowledge, there’s a possibility that someone else from your family members or neighbors has opened an account from the same IP address or device as yours or using your email address?
• Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus?
• Was your account previously verified?
• If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

Thank you.

Dear Cintrol,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
