Hi thegamblersway - welcome to ThePOGG.com!

I'll contact the operator and see what we can find out for you.

Hi,

They are being quite difficult about my situation. Have you had any response ?

Thanks

Hi thegamblersway,

I've reviewed this issue with Bitstarz and unfortunately your account activity has raised a lot of red flags in security terms. That being the case it will be subject to significant security checks before any further financial transactions will be processed.

To start with you need to provide Bitstarz with selfies of yourself holding the ID and documents that you have already submitted.

Next you're going to need to comply with Source of Wealth checks. As such you need to provide documents demonstrating where the funds in your account originated, going back to the original source (sale of assets, pay, inheritance etc etc).

If you can provide the operator with these documents we'll revert to discuss what else will be required.

Thanks,

Hi Thepogg,

I already gave them a snap of my deposit method from my ewallet however they wish to see all my deposit information. I am very uncomfortable providing this information.

All the other documents you have stated, they have mentioned nothing in regards to selfies.

What exact reason do I need a demonstrate where my funds have originated from ? Why is a credit card deposit to my ewallet not sufficient enough ?

This " (sale of assets, pay, inheritance etc etc). " This as well is quite crucial information.

To elaborate again, I was given the okay from their own department to withdraw my funds via bitcoin. How exactly is this my wrong doing ?

Thank you

Hi TheGamblersway,

Source of Funds checks are standard practice within the industry whenever there are concerns that a player can afford the transactions they are making or there are fraud concerns regarding the activity on an account.

This is not something that we can our would look for an operator to drop.

At this juncture it is your choice whether or not you comply with these requests, but I need to be absolutely clear, if you do not there is nothing further we can do to help you.

Thanks,

Hi TheGamblersway,

Have you provided the requested documents?

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Hi , I provided the deposit history, however they required a specific month of deposits.

I provided what they asked for but they still require more.

I'm not sure if it is safe to provide all this information.

Hi TheGamblersway,

Having reviewed this issue with the operator we would agree with the operator that there are significant concerns regarding the activity on your account. The operator are correct to engage enhanced verification procedures to confirm that the person named on the account is the person controlling the account and that this person is the legitimate owner of the funds in question.

As stated above we will not ask the operator to set this type of fraud prevention check aside. It is up to you if you choose to provide the requested documentation or not, but again as stated above, if you do not there is nothing we can do to help you.

Thanks,

Hi,

I will wait on this issue until I find out more. For the information they asked, I found it very odd on my part.

Also you listed different documentation from what they asked so I will not be able such sensitive information until I have more information.

You may close this complaint, I will have to get back to you on this issue.

Thanks
