Verde Casino - Η απόσυρση του παίκτη καθυστερεί λόγω παράλογων αιτημάτων εγγράφων.

The casino is not adhering to its terms and conditions. They are demanding documents that are never mentioned in the terms and conditions and are unreasonable to request.

Specifically: After a €250 deposit with a bonus, I won €877 and completed the verification process. Following this, my account was closed and documents were requested to prove that I was in Austria during gameplay. There are no documents that can prove this. It is completely unusual to collect such documents in advance. The casino should have informed me from the beginning to gather evidence of which country I am playing from, or should have included it in the terms and conditions. As a result, I had no chance to gather such evidence and therefore, naturally, cannot provide any.

I consider the casino's behavior highly unfair as it would be absolutely unusual for me to have the requested evidence and I had no way of anticipating this requirement. I demand that the casino pays out my fairly won €877.

Das Casino hält sich nicht an die AGBs. Es werden Dokumente verlangt, die in den AGBs nie erwähnt werden und nicht zumutbar sind.

Konkret: Nach einer 250€ Einzahlung mit Bonus wurden 877€ gewonnen und die Verifizierung abgeschlossen. Daraufhin wurde mein Konto geschlossen und Dokumente angefragt, welche beweisen, dass ich mich während dem spielen in Österreich aufgehalten habe. Es existiert keinerlei Dokument welches das beweist. Es ist vollkommen ungewöhnlich, vorsorglich solche Dokumente zu sammeln. Das Casino hätte mich von Anfang an informieren sollen, dass ich Beweise sammeln soll in welchem Land ich spiele oder es in die AGBs schreiben sollen. So hatte ich keine Chance solche Beweise zu sammeln und kann dementsprechend natürlich nichts abschicken.

Ich halte das Verhalten des Casinos für höchst unfair da es absolut ungewöhnlich wäre wenn ich die verlangten Beweise hätte und ich keine Chance hatte es zu erahnen. Ich fordere das Casino auf mir meine fair erspielten 877€ auszubezahlen.

Dear lolzgamer12099,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with the casino.

To help us better understand your situation and provide assistance, could you please clarify a few details? Specifically:

• Can you confirm if the casino provided any explanation or reasoning for why they are requesting proof of your location during gameplay?

If you have any relevant emails or correspondence with the casino, please feel free to forward them to petronela.k@casino.guru.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Dear Petronella,

The casino did not give any reason for this action. They did not ask for a specific document, but for some kind of proof of my stay in Austria. For example, a bus ticket, hotel booking or credit card payment that shows that it happened in Austria. Unfortunately, I do not have any such proof.

I can contact the casino using live chat, but my problem is not addressed there. I am attaching screenshots of the last communication.

Liebe Petronela,

das Casino hat keinerlei Begründung für das Vorgehen abgegeben. Sie haben nicht nach einem bestimmten Dokument gefragt, sondern nach irgend einen Beweis über meinen Aufenthalt in Österreich. Also z.B. Busticket, Hotelbuchung oder Kreditkartenzahlung bei der hervorgeht, dass es in Österreich passiert ist. Leider habe ich keinen solchen Beweis.

Ich kann das Casino mit Hilfe des Live Chats kontaktieren, allerdings wird dort nicht auf mein Problem eingegangen. Ich hänge Screenshots der letzten Kommunikation bei.

Hi lolzgamer12099,

I attempted to access the casino website from Germany, but the page wouldn’t load, suggesting there might be an IP block for German players. However, when I accessed the site from Austria, it loaded without any issues.

• Could you please let me know in which country you originally created your account?
• How long has your account been active?
• Have you been able to access your account while in Germany, or has it only been accessible during your stay in Austria?

Thank you.

Hello Petronella,

I opened the account in Austria, but normally selected Germany as my country.

I can still access the site from Germany. However, my account has been blocked so I can't log in. But I could open a new account from Germany.

I opened my account on August 7th, so I only had access to my account for a few days.

Hallo Petronela,

ich habe das Konto in Österreich eröffnet, aber ganz normal Deutschland als mein Land ausgewählt.

Also ich kann die Seite auch immer noch von Deutschland aufrufen. Allerdings wurde mein Konto gesperrt also einloggen kann ich mich nicht. Ich könnte aber ein neues Konto eröffnen von Deutschland aus.

Ich habe mein Konto am 07.08 eröffnet, hatte also nur ein paar Tage Zugriff auf mein Konto.

Hi lolzgamer12099,

I have checked the general terms and conditions and this is what I found (here):

12.7. Masking IP or location is not allowed and we reserve the right to close any accounts and void any bets, bonus and winnings if the account was created or used through the use of IP or geolocation masking technologies including but not limited to VPN and Proxy Servers.

However, Austria and Germany are not listed as restricted countries, and both are available during registration.

We understand that the casino applies the aforementioned rule for users accessing their website from restricted countries using a VPN. However, if a player is not from a restricted country, traveling to another allowed country or using a VPN should not offer any obvious advantage.

Could you please clarify whether you used a VPN to change your location or if you opened your account from Austria during your trip?

Thank you.

Hello Petronella,

I completely agree with you on this matter. I opened the account in Austria. I live very close to Austria, which is why I spend a lot of time there.

Hallo Petronela,

ich bin in der Sache ganz deiner Meinung. Ich habe den Account in Österreich eröffnet. Mein Wohnsitz liegt sehr nah an Österreich, weshalb ich mich dort öfter aufhalte.

Hi lolzgamer12099,

Thank you for clarifying the situation.

Dear Verde Casino Team,

We kindly request that you reconsider your position and allow the player to verify their account and withdraw their full winnings.

Dear Petronella,
