sharptooth31 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi all, I’ve just gone through a hurrendous experience with Casumo and wondered if anyone else has had any issues? So I’ve played there for a few years, well down on the account overall (I play small affordable stakes maybe once to twice a month) deposited and previously withdrawn a few times with no issues. Last week I lost, made a few deposits and then actually won my money back and some profit. I decided to cash out at evens call it a day. Left a little in to play with. They then said they had to ‘verify my account’ I sent driving licence, utility bill. No response. They then asked for proof of wealth? sent my wage slip and a bank statement even though this was very uncomfortable as I’ve never been asked. Ultimately I wanted my money and they kept my withdrawal pending, until they could authorise me. After 4 days of chats online, emails and constant excuses they would not process. I demanded my money. In between I played with the left over profit, I think cashed this out, they have actually accepted this (much smaller withdrawal) but have blocked my account and reversed my original withdrawal. I not have an amount of money sat in my account that I can’t access. They have emailed to say my account has been closed this will be paid, but they will need further documents. I’ve said I won’t be sending anything else and pay me my money or I’m complaining to the gambling commission in the morning. which I will do but what a hassle. I feel scammed out of my money, can’t see them paying me it. I actually cannot believe it as I thought they were a reputable casino. Something isn’t right, I would warn anyone off Casumo. Has anyone else got any advice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else got any advice? Thanks I’ve got some advice but you may not like it. There ADR is ecogra. If you approach them they will find in Casumo’s favour. My advice would be attempt to work with them and if it gets silly use a solicitor to threaten legal action (will cost a few hundred quid) if you flat out refuse to work with them they can maliciously ask the bank to open a SAR which freezes your bank up to 5 days.

sharptooth31 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 I’ve never experienced this before so I honestly don’t know what the steps are. It’s just over £300, sat in my account. I mean can they just not pay me my money? I won’t be using online casinos again that’s for sure. I’ve tried to work with them, I sent a polite email asking for my money and happy for them then to close the account. How can they freeze my bank account???

In all honesty £300 I’d imagine they will pay. It’s once you start talking about thousands and tens of thousands where you will hit a brick wall. Do they still have the page with ticks and crosses confirming what steps you have done. Work through it as best you can and then threaten legal proceedings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1111 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 You said in your post they emailed you to say they will pay so you should be ok As hackz said, what have they asked for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharptooth31 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 I have sent everything as requested so far, they just said further documents may be required before they will pay me what’s sat in my account. I don’t feel comfortable sending any further documents to be honest, they have a lot of personal information. I did say I would complain/had spoken to a legal contact which I have. I just want my money paying and I won’t play there again which they obviously don’t want me anyway based on their checks. It’s just very stressful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guys story is so vague and doesn't provide any real amount of detail. As such it's hard to make any real judgmenet or comment on it.

They must have picked up on something to say that the account will be closed. If they are saying self exclude and you will get your money then yes, but you need a bit more clarification from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrightmeow Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 You have to understand that they can request the documents they need to check and that is all stated in their TOS that you agreed on when you made an account and thats normal for all casinos it just depends on which point they will ask for them. If you dont feel comfortable to send those documents its probably the best that you dont play online because Its more or less standard thing these days.

sharptooth31 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks and fair enough. I guess it’s just frustrating when you have played somewhere for a long time and they happen to spring it on you when you make a decent withdrawal. Given they were quite happy to take my deposits. Maybe they saw this post as they have actually emailed now to say it will he paid, However I’ll only rest easy when I receive the money. Its a lesson for me and an eye opener, I still don’t feel most of it was necessary and to make a player fear his money isn’t protected 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a lesson for me and an eye opener, I still don’t feel most of it was necessary and to make a player fear his money isn’t protected I had to verify my account on pokerstars 3 times, etoro account has to be verified every year etc. this is all normal for accounts where money is involved online because people were doing illegal transactions and launder money before things like this were put in place. Your money is safe they will never take your money if its not a shady casino and your money is made legally you dont have to worry about anything.

The only thing that can realistically be said is to tell the guy to keep in contact with Casumo. If you want to jump on the band wagon of berating casinos without proper proof or evidence by all means do so. I'm sure you were the one calling out poor bray boy for doing something similar without proper insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you were the one calling out poor bray boy for doing something similar without proper insight As I said previously you can’t comment until you’ve experienced it first hand. As for Bray boy look back at the chat I had his back saying he shouldn’t have a go at casinos without doing his investigation first. Check it back you numpty. I literally said the opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try changing countries with them. Fuck me, that took months because they’re slow as fuck.

It was a right rigmarole for me. I wish I was joking about it taking weeks between emails too I changed from UK to NZ, that took forever, then I changed back, it was even worse.
