I’m sorry to hear about your experience, especially after spending hundreds of dollars. In my case, it was just $40, but it’s frustrating regardless. The thing is, these casinos are Curacao-licensed, and based on my experience with such platforms,especially newer ones with low user activity or limited international popularity..it’s usually better to avoid them altogether or only deposit a small amount initially to test the waters.
These casinos often claim they need to follow regulations and protocols, similar to legitimate platforms like BetMGM or FanDuel. However, their true intention seems to be preventing withdrawals of deposits or winnings. They use tactics like excessive Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, claiming to prevent money laundering, while ultimately profiting by selling personal information to brokers. In the end, you lose your money, your time, and your personal data becomes available on the internet!
There are some Curacao-licensed casinos, like Stake.com, that don’t enforce KYC for small winnings. However, if you start winning big, verification is inevitable. If I were you, I’d leave a review on platforms like AskGamblers or CasinoGuru and file complaints there as well as with the Curacao Gaming Authority. I’ve read about cases where people managed to resolve issues this way and successfully withdraw their funds. Best of luck dude!
