Lanista Casino - El retiro del jugador se retrasa debido a problemas de KYC.

I am submitting this complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal and prolonged KYC process at Lanista Casino.

I won approximately €2,200, and after requesting a withdrawal, I was asked to complete KYC verification. I provided all requested identity documents promptly. This process has already taken almost 2 months.

Recently, support informed me that my account has been flagged as "high risk for fraud" and that I allegedly have multiple accounts on their website. These claims were made without providing any evidence nor are they true.

Additionally, I was told via chat that I must submit further documents requested by email, or my account would be banned and no withdrawals would be paid. However:

I have not received any email requesting additional documents

I checked spam/junk folders and confirmed the correct email address

Support has not been able to resend or specify what documents are supposedly missing

At this point:

KYC has been ongoing for almost two months

No clear or consistent communication has been provided

Fraud accusations are vague and unsupported

My withdrawal remains unpaid

I have cooperated fully and am willing to provide any clearly specified and legitimate verification documents. However, I believe the casino is intentionally delaying the process to avoid paying out my winnings.

Important notice:

Casino Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino Guru and does that, do not share any information.

We only contact players through this official complaint thread or via @casino.guru e-mail addresses. Always check the sender’s domain and verify your complaint resolver’s e-mail address by clicking on their avatar visible inside the official complaint thread.

If anything seems suspicious, contact us directly.

Stay safe.

Dear soukker,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing.

Please understand that KYC verification is a crucial and essential process, during which the casino ensures that funds are paid to the rightful owner. As casinos cannot physically verify all players’ identities, this procedure is the only way licensed and reputable gambling establishments can properly complete their verification obligations. Consequently, no serious and licensed casino takes KYC lightly, and completing this process may take some time.

To help us better understand your situation and move the case forward, could you please clarify the following:

• Is there any possibility that someone from your household, or someone using the same IP address, has also created an account at this casino?
• Which verification documents have you already provided, and when exactly did you submit the most recent one?
• Were all the required documents submitted as soon as possible and in the correct format?

Your cooperation in providing these details will help us investigate the matter and work toward a resolution. I hope we will be able to assist you in resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petra

Hi, it’s not possible that someone from the same ip address would’ve created an account. So far I’ve provided pictures of my credit card, pictures of my id, selfie holding the id and last 3 months paycheck from my employer. All the documents have been submitted the same day they have been required and in the correct format.

Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your reply and for providing the previous details, soukker.

• Could you please provide us with a timeline related to your withdrawal and verification process?
• Additionally, can you confirm whether you received any communication mentioning that your account was flagged as "high risk for fraud," or if this information was provided only through chat support?
• Finally, could you share any further communication you had with the casino? This may include screenshots, emails, or chat records. You can send all documents to petra.h@casino.guru or post your screenshots directly in the thread.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Hello,

I deposited on 16 December and requested a withdrawal shortly after.

My withdrawal was declined the same day without explanation.

Around a week after that, the casino asked for documents. I have been providing everything requested one by one, but this has been drawn out for months.

This created a continuous delay: documents are requested ->I send them -> then another new requirement appears a week after, which further pushes back any resolution. I haven’t received a single clear confirmation that all required items have now been completed or that there are no outstanding issues.

Timeline

16 Dec – deposit made

Same day – withdrawal declined

~1 weeks later – first document request received

Since then – documents sent as soon as requested, but follow-up requests continue without clear explanation.

I did not receive any official email or formal notification initially stating that my account was flagged as "high risk for fraud."

This information first came to me indirectly. I contacted a third-party streamer who is affiliated with the casino to ask for assistance since the kyc process was taking so long, and he reached out to his manager on my behalf. The manager informed him that my account was marked as high risk for fraud.

After receiving this information, I then contacted live chat support directly, and they confirmed that my account had indeed been flagged as high risk and i had been sent an email with more information.

So to clarify:

There was no prior official communication sent to me about this status.

The information was first relayed through an affiliated third party.

It was only confirmed afterward via live chat when I asked about it myself.

I have not received an email from lanista since 24th of december which was about the initial documents they need.

Unfortunately I don’t have the screenshots of the earlier conversations with support, but I do have discord logs of the well known streamer confirming this and the most recent conversation with live chat where they told me to be patient about the email.
