Lanista Casino - Spillerens udbetaling er blevet forsinket i over en måned.

I don't know why it says Puerto Rico here, I play from Germany.

Let me describe what happened: I deposited on December 10th and started playing on the evening of December 11th at 11 PM. It's a non-sticky casino, and I hadn't activated any bonus. During the free spins on the game Jaws of Justice, I hit the maximum win with a 60-cent bet and won 6,000. I played for a few more hours and eventually left 5,500. I requested a withdrawal of 1,000 due to the casino's limits. Nothing happened for a week. The maximum win pullover from Hacksaw arrived in the meantime. Then, on Thursday of the following week, I was told I needed to verify my identity. I provided everything they requested. The response was that the quality of my pictures was too poor (Sony Alpha camera and a Samsung S25 Ultra). I checked myself; every letter on my ID is legible, and selfies are clearly recognizable. After hearing this a total of three times (I didn't receive an email; I always had to ask in the live chat), I naturally got angry. Today I was in the live chat again, where I was told my documents were fine, but at that moment the page changed, and I was now supposed to verify my wallet, including my name, address, and date of birth. I use Exodus, which isn't a personal wallet. I also used it for the deposit. A full month has passed, and I haven't received a single cent. I don't know what else to do.

Warum auch immer hier Puerto rico steht, ich spiele aus Deutschland.

Ich beschreibe mal die Entwicklung: ich habe am 10.12. Eingezahlt, und am 11.12. Abends um 23 Uhr angefangen zu spielen, es ist ein non sticky casino und ich hatte keinen Bonus aktiviert. Bei dem Spiel jaws of justice habe ich dann auf einem Einsatz von 60 Cent in den freispielen den maxwin getroffen und damit 6k gewonnen. Ich habe noch ein paar Stunden gespielt und schließlich 5,5k stehen lassen. 1k zur Auszahlung beantragt, aufgrund der limits des casinos. Eine Woche lang nichts passiert. Der maxwin pullover von hacksaw ist inzwischen angekommen. Dann am Donnerstag der folgewoche habe ich erfahren, dass ich mich verifizieren soll. Ich habe alles, was verlangt wurde, geliefert. Daraufhin kam die Antwort, dass due Qualität meiner Bilder zu schlecht sei (Sony alpha Kamera und ein Samsung s25 ultra). Ich habe es selbst überprüft, es ist jeder Buchstabe auf meiner ID lesbar und selfies sind klar erkennbar. Nachdem ich das insgesamt 3 Mal gehört habe ( es kam keine Mail, ich musste immer im live Chat nachfragen), bin ich natürlich irgendwann sauer geworden. Heute war ich nochmal im live Chat, wo mir gesagt wurde, meine Dokumente seien ok, doch im selben Moment änderte sich die Seite, und ich sollte nun meine wallet nachweisen, mit name, Adresse, Geburtsdatum. Ich nutze exodus, was keine personenbezogene wallet ist. Für die Einzahlung habe ich diese ebenfalls genutzt. Es ist ein voller Monat vergangen und ich habe noch keinen Cent. Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch machen soll.

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.

Stay safe.

Dear Biggelow, 

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

Please understand that KYC 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 are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one? Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and in the correct format? 

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

Best regards, 

Attila G.

Well, the problem was, I never received an email; I always had to ask in the live chat. It took a whole week before I even had the chance to verify my account. They started by demanding a picture of my ID and a selfie with the casino visible in the background. Difficult enough, but I complied. Then nothing happened again. Another week without any updates, neither on the website nor via email. Then the stalling tactics began. My account quality was supposedly too low. Okay, maybe that can happen once in a while. But after three attempts with a thorough self-check... countless inquiries in the live chat, this seemed unbelievable. I wrote to support via email and sent them the pictures as well. Now, yesterday (a whole month has passed), my status had changed to "it looks like your account doesn't need to be verified." So I asked again in the live chat. They told me my verification looked good. During the conversation, the situation changed, and I was asked to provide proof of my wallet address, which, as mentioned, is impossible since I use Exodus, an anonymous wallet. What really annoyed me was that they kept coming up with new requirements after five weeks. It's clearly a tactic to weaken me and make me lose my winnings. That's why I filed a complaint. I also sent screenshots of my wallet address and the payment from December 10, 2026.

Naja, das Problem war, ich habe nie eine Mail bekommen, sondern musste immer im live Chat nachfragen, das hat erst mal eine Woche gedauert, bis ich überhaupt die Möglichkeit hatte, mich zu verifizieren. Angefangen haben die Forderungen mit einem Bild meiner ID, und einem selfie von mir auf dem im Hintergrund das casino zu sehen ist. Schwer genug, aber ich habe geliefert. Anschließend passierte wieder nichts. Wieder eine Woche lang keine Updates, weder auf der Seite, noch per Mail. Dann begann die hinhalte Taktik. Meine Qualität sei zu schlecht. Ok das kann ja vielleicht einmal passieren. Aber nach 3 Versuchen mit ausführlicher sichtungsprüfung von mir selbst... unzählige Anfragen im live Chat, schien mir dies unglaubwürdig. Ich habe dem Support geschrieben, per Mail, auch dort die Bilder hingeschickt. Jetzt gestern (ein ganzer Monat verging) war mein statis geändert, auf "es sieht so aus als müsse dein konto nicht verifiziert werden". Ich habe daraufhin wieder im live Chat nachgefragt. Live chat sagte mir, meine Überprüfung sieht gut aus. Während des Gesprächs änderte sich die Seite, und ich sollte meine wallet nachweisen, was wie bereits erwähnt, nicht in Verbindung mit einer Person möglich ist, weil ich Exodus nutze, welche eine anonyme wallet ist. Aber auch, dass denen nach 5 Wochen noch neue Sachen einfallen, die man verlangt, hat mich sehr aufgeregt. Es ist spürbar taktik, damit ich schwach werde und meinen Gewinn verspiele. Daraufhin hab ich die Beschwerde verfasst. Trotzdem habe ich Screenshots von meiner wallet Adresse und der Zahlung vom 10. Dezember 2026 geschickt.

Sorry, I meant December 2025, that was a typo. The deposit was made on December 10, 2025.

Entschuldigung, ich meine natürlich dezember 2025, das war ein Tippfehler. Die Einzahlung erfolgte am 10.12.2025

I already uploaded the selfie yesterday, but to be honest, a selfie was requested right at the beginning of the process. I sent it, and it was accepted. Now it's being requested again; I don't understand it.

Das selfie habe ich bereits gestern hochgeladen, aber ehrlich gesagt wurde ein selfie schon ganz am Anfang des Prozesses gefordert, ich habe es geschickt, es wurde akzeptiert. Jetzt schon wieder, ich verstehe es nicht.

Dear Biggelow,

Thank you so much for your patience.

We kindly inform you that your account is successfully verified. You may start requesting your withdrawals.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,
