Chipstars Casino - L'account del giocatore è stato chiuso.

Good afternoon, I played at this casino for a few days (Black Jack and sports) and managed to win a certain amount. Then I requested the withdrawal, the casino asked me for the documents for verification, I sent all the original documents and data requested. Then they asked for a notarized document, which I refused because I had already sent the original document, I thought it was suspicious to send a notarized document and that I could send the case to the police for investigation. After that I received an e-mail saying that my account had been closed and only with a certified copy of my ID could I change the verdict.

Boa tarde, joguei por uns dias nesse cassino ( joguei Black Jack e em esportes) consegui ganhar um certo valor. Então solicitei o saque, o cassino me pediu os documentos para a verificação, eu enviei todos os documentos originais e dados solicitados. Então pediram um documento autenticado, onde me neguei pois já havia mandado o documento original, achei suspeito enviar um documento autenticado e que poderia enviar o caso pra polícia para ter uma apuração. Após isso recebi um e-mail dizendo que minha conta foi encerrada e só com a cópia autenticada da minha identidade poderia mudar o veredito.

Dear elifazgui,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.

Please understand that KYC (Know Your Customer) verification 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 can complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly, and they might need some documents to be notarized.

• Have you accumulated your winnings with or without an active bonus?
• When was your account blocked?
• Could you please let me know which documents need to be notarized?
• Could you please forward all relevant correspondence between you and the casino to [email protected]? If it’s more convenient, you may also post screenshots here.

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Jean

Okay, buddy. I know I’m supposed to go through the verification process; I sent all the original documents—I sent my driver’s license (which includes my personal ID card), my ID card, and the other documents and information that were requested. But I refused to have my ID card notarized and sent it back, because there could be risks regarding what might be done with it—I don’t know whose hands my documents will end up in. Here in Brazil, we see a lot of scams carried out in other people’s names. I’ll send you the email conversation I had.

- I didn’t gamble with any bonuses

Bom fia. Sei que devo fazer a verificação, eu mandei todos os documentos originais, enviei minha CNH(carteira de motorista que junto tem o cartão da pessoa física) também enviei o RG (identidade) e outros documentos e dados que foi solicitado. Agora autenticar o RG e enviar eu me neguei, pois pode haver riscos sobre o que irá ser feito com o mesmo, não sei em quais mãos meus documentos estarão. Sendo que aqui no Brasil vemos muitos golpes realizados em nomes de terceiros. Irei te mandar a conversa que tive via e-mail.

- não joguei com bônus

I understand your wariness about not wanting the copy of your ID notarized. It would be good if we knew what the casino thinks about this or if they provided you with an alternative. Have you told the casino about this? What was their response?

After sending the documents and your answers on June 14 to the casino, what was the response to your email? Could you please forward their response to me so I could understand what could be hindering KYC verification?

Could you please clarify if you still have access to your casino account? If it was blocked, please specify the date when it was blocked. If it is still open, then please post a screenshot of your account's verification page so can see which documents are successful or pending.

I understand this may take time, so I appreciate your assistance.

Hi, having to deal with this kind of casino is annoying and very exhausting. I’m thinking of just letting it go and starting to bet only at licensed casinos. But to answer your question: I sent all my original documents, and when they asked for my ID card, I thought it was suspicious and made no sense, since they already had all the original documents—so why would they need a notarized copy? Then I replied that I could contact the police to look into the matter, and the casino blocked me and said they could only reverse their decision if I sent a certified copy of the document.

Ola, ter que lidar com esse tipo de Casino isso é chato e muito cansativo. Estou pensando em deixar pra lá e começar apostar apenas em casino autorizados. Mas respondendo sua pergunta. Eu enviei todos meus documentos originais, e como eles solicitaram meu RG (cartão de identidade) eu achei suspeito e sem sentido, pois todos os documentos originais já estavam com eles, então porque eles iriam precisar de uma cópia autenticada ? Depois eu respondi que poderia acionar a polícia pra verificar o caso, o Casino me bloqueou e disse que só poderia mudar a decisão se eu enviasse a cópia do documento autenticado.

Thank you for your update. I understand your concerns, especially given the prevalence of identity fraud in Brazil. It is reasonable to be cautious when sharing personal documents online.

That said, from the casino's perspective, requesting a notarized (certified) copy of an identification document is not uncommon in enhanced KYC procedures. A notarized copy helps confirm that the copy is a true representation of the original document and provides the casino with a higher level of assurance that the person requesting the withdrawal is the legitimate account holder. This type of verification is typically requested in higher-risk situations or when additional identity confirmation is required.

If your concern is that a notarized copy could be used for fraudulent purposes, it is worth noting that notarization should only be obtained through a physical office with an official, state-authorized notary or another legally recognized authority in your country—not through an unofficial online service or unknown third party. The notary simply verifies that the copy matches the original document; they do not create a new identity document or grant anyone additional rights to use your identity. While no document sharing is entirely without risk, obtaining certification through a licensed public notary is generally considered a secure and standard legal process.

Ultimately, if you decide that you are not comfortable completing the casino's requested verification, we must also respect that decision. However, without cooperating with the KYC requirements, there is unfortunately very little we can do to challenge the casino's position, as player verification is a standard obligation for licensed gambling operators.

If you no longer wish to pursue this complaint, we can close it according to your wishes. Should you later decide to obtain the certified copy and continue the verification process with the casino, you are welcome to reopen this complaint at any time, and we will gladly continue assisting you.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
