BonusBet Casino - Hráč se snaží dokončit ověření účtu.

I registered for BonusBet.com in April. They started the statutory KYC process after I deposited more than €2,000 - This is acceptable and I understand it. After a week of sending documents, I finally received confirmation that my account has been verified and the documents have been approved. Great, now I could withdraw my money from the site. However, 48 hours after the withdrawal request, the site rejected my withdrawal request. They needed further confirmation of my identity. Ok, so why did they send a confirmation that my account was approved successfully?

It's also strange that they asked for a photo of me holding my ID - as I had already submitted this exact same photo during the KYC process and it was already approved.

That is, I already received a confirmation that my account has been successfully verified. Now, after waiting 48 hours for a withdrawal request, I still have to go through the KYC process again, wait 72 hours, send a new withdrawal request (€1,000 / day MAX-limit) and wait for the withdrawal request to be processed for the next 48 hours. The casino is therefore able to delay a withdrawal request of 1,000 euros for 5 days before the process can be started again.

A very questionable course of action in a situation where the account has already been successfully verified once. The customer service does not respond to e-mails, in Chat I only get generic answers that are quotations given by artificial intelligence directly from the terms of use.

Rekisteröidyn BonusBet.com sivustolle huhtikuussa. He aloittivat lakisääteisen KYC-prosessin talletettuani yli 2.000 € - Tämä on hyväksyttävää ja ymmärrän sen. Viikon kestäneen dokumenttejen lähettelyn jälkeen sain vihdoin varmistuksen, että tilini on vahvistettu ja dokumentit on hyväksytty. Hienoa, nyt voisin nostaa rahani sivustolta. 48 tuntia nostopyynnön jälkeen sivusto kuitenkin hylkäsi nostopyyntöni. He tarvitsivat lisävahvistuksen henkilöllisyydestäni. Okei, miksi he sitten lähettivät varmistuksen, että tilini on hyväksytty onnistuneesti?

On myös outoa, että he pyysivät valokuvan minusta, jossa minulla on kädessä henkilöllisyystodistus - sillä olinhan jo toimittanut tämän täysin saman valokuvan KYC-prosessin aikana ja se oli jo hyväksytty.

Eli sain jo vahvistuksen, että tilini on vahvistettu onnistuneesti. Nyt nostopyyntöä odotettuani 48 tuntia, joudun kuitenkin käymään KYC-prosessin uudestaan läpi, odottamaan 72 tuntia, lähettämään uuden nostopyynnön (1.000 € / päivä MAX-limit) ja odottamaan nostopyynnön käsittelyä seuraavat 48 tuntia. Kasino pystyy siis 1.000 euron nostopyyntöä viivyttämään 5 vuorokautta, ennen kuin prosessi saadaan uudestaan käyntiin.

Hyvin kyseenalainen toimintatapa tilanteessa, jossa tili on jo kertaalleen onnistuneesti vahvistettu. Asiakaspalvelu ei vastaa sähköpostiin, Chatissa saan vaan geneerisiä vastauksia jotka on tekoälyn antamia lainauksia suoraan käyttöehdoista.

Dear ekh91,

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 licensed casinos takes 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

Hey,

Referring to the casino's terms and conditions, they asked for additional confirmation after the withdrawal request. I would understand this normally, but after reading similar cases from this operator's casinos, I question the modus operandi. So they ask for a selfie with me holding my ID (driver's license) in my hand. This makes no sense as I have submitted this document in question (selfie with ID card) as part of the original KYC process.

Hei,

Kasinon käyttöehtoihin viitaten he pyysivät lisävahvistusta nostopyynnön jälkeen. Ymmärtäisin tämän normaalisti, mutta luettuani vastaavia tapauksia tämän toimijan kasinoista kyseenalaistan toimintatavan. He pyytävät siis selfietä, jossa minulla on käyttämäni henkilöllisyystodistus (ajokortti) kädessäni. Tässä ei ole mitään järkeä, koska olen toimittanut tämän kyseisen dokumentin (selfien henkilökortin kanssa) osana alkuperäistä KYC-prosessia.

Thank you, ekh91, for the clarification. Could you please advise how long ago was the initial selfie provided? Was it approved by then?

Hi, I received my first withdrawal (€1,000) from the casino today. I ended up closing my account with the casino so they understand I'm not going to play my winnings there in hopes of a delay.

The first selfie was submitted on 05/02/2023 and the same document was requested as part of additional confirmation on 05/08/2023. But I think I will get the rest of the money at some point. Could the complaint be frozen for a while?

Hei, sain ensimmäisen (1.000 €) kotiutuksen tänään casinolta. Päädyin sulkemaan tilini casinolle, jotta he ymmärtävät etten aio pelata voittojani sinne viivytyksen toivossa.

Ensimmäinen selfie toimitettiin 2.5.2023 ja sama dokumentti pyydettiin osana lisävahvistusta 8.5.2023. Mutta uskoisin, että saan loputkin rahat jossain vaiheessa. Voisiko valituksen jäädyttää hetkeksi?

Thank you, ekh91, for the update. I will keep this complaint open till your confirmation about a successful withdrawal of the remaining funds. Looking forward to hearing from you.
