BetSofa Casino - Hráčův účet byl pozastaven kvůli čekajícímu výběru.

Hello, my problem has been with getting money from the casino. Now my account has been suspended without any reasonable explanation. After a prolonged KYC process, my account was closed due to suspicious activity. I am left with 600€ in winnings on my account. I don't think I have done anything suspicious and I have submitted all the required documents. This does not seem like a trustworthy casino at all.

My withdrawal has been pending since January 8, 2024, for the last two months.

Hei, ongelmani on ollut kasinolta rahojen saanti. Nyt tilini on estetty ilman järkevää selitystä. Pitkittyneen KYC prosessin jälkeen tilini suljettiin epäilyttävän toiminnan vuoksi. Tililleni jäi 600€ voittoja. En ole tehnyt mielestäni mitään epäilyttävää ja olen lähettänyt kaikki vaaditut dokumentit. Tämä ei tunnu luotettavalta kasinolta lainkaan.

Kotiutukseni on ollut vireillä 8.1.2024 tähän päivään. eli nyt kaksi kuukautta.

Hello thecodguya,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with BetSofa Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise since when is your account fully verified? Did you accumulate your winnings with real money or did you use a bonus? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

probably my account is fully verified after quoted passport. I sent them the notated passport last. I collected my winnings with real money but my account had the first deposit bonus which I canceled. So the funds never ended up as bonus funds and I started the withdrawal process. The last time I spoke to the casino was when I asked why my account was frozen. I haven't received any answer to my issue yet.

luultavasti tilini on täysin vahvistettu noteeratun passin jälkeen. Noteeratun passin lähetin heille viimeisenä. Keräsin voittoni oikealla rahalla mutta tililläni oli ensimmäinen talletusbonus jonka peruin. Varat eivät siis ikinä päätyneet bonus varoiksi ja aloitin kotiutus prosessin. Viimeksi puhuin kasinon kanssa kun kysyin miksi tilini on jäädytetty. En ole saanut asiaani mitään vastausta vielä.

Hello thecodguya,

Can you please forward your deposit, betting and bonus history together with any kind of communication between you and the casino regarding this case to nikolas.b@casino.guru?

I cannot log in to the casino's website and the casino does not respond to the request to open an account. All I get with live help is the following message. "As far as I can see, there are no updates yet, you will receive an email in case of any news"

En pysty kirjautumaan kasinon sivuille ja kasino ei vastaa tilin aukaisu pyyntöön. Ainoa mitä saan live avun kanssa on seuraava viesti. "As far as I can see, there no updates yet, you will receive an email in case of any news"

However, it has been a long time since the account was closed and the casino has not reacted to the matter.

Tilin sulkemisesta on kuitenkin pitkä aika eikä kasino ole reagoinut asiaan.

Hello thecodguya,

Is there any e-mail communication between you and the casino regarding this case which you can forward to nikolas.b@casino.guru?

I forwarded the messages to email.

Välitin viestit sähköpostiin.

Thank you thecodguya for all the information provided. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.c@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.

Wish you best luck resolving it.

Regards,

Nick

Thank you for your understanding!

Greetings, I have reopened this complaint and would like to ask both parties for an update on the ongoing investigation.

Thank you in advance!

Here's a picture of the email what betsofa still wants from me.. I'm already very frustrated with their identity verification and I've already sent all the necessary information to verify my identity. In my opinion, this is already delaying repatriation and this has nothing to do with verifying my identity, because they already have a passport certified by a public notary, which is Finnish, i.e. an ID card with a very high security rating in the world. I have already sent them a video of me holding the passport. I don't feel like I need to put a new one on them. What do they do with the proof of my phone number when I haven't made a payment or something similar with the phone number? Can Casinoguru help hold this scam casino accountable?

Tässä kuva sähköpostista mitä betsofa minulta vielä vaatii.. Olen jo erittäin turhautunut heidän identiteetin todentamiseen ja olen jo lähettänyt kaikki tarpeelliset tiedot henkilöllisyyteni varmistamiseksi. Tämä on mielestäni jo kotiutuksen viivyttelyä eikä tällä ole enää mitään tekemistä henkilöllisyyteni varmistamisessa, sillä heillä on jo julkisen notaarin vahvistama passi, mikä on suomalainen, eli maailmalla erittäin korkealla turvallisuusluokituksella varustettu henkilötodistus. Olen lähettänyt heille jo videon missä pidän passia. En koe että minun tarvitsisi laittaa heille uutta. Mitä he tekevät puhelinnumeroni todistuksella kun en ole puhelin numerolla tehnyt maksua tai muuta vastaavaa? Voitteko Casinoguru auttaa tämän huijaus kasinon vastuuseen saattamisessa?
