So here is what happened:

1. I signed up with them through the advertisement of Latestcasinobonuses.com and got 10 no deposit bonus.

2. Met the play through, was ready to cash out the max allowed: 100 USD.

3. I asked the Chat about how I can cash out. They said this: I must make a deposit, and then my withdrawal can be processed. As The minimum deposit is 25 and minimum cash out is 100, I asked if I can cash out my deposit and winnings together. The Chat operator tol me: no. He said I must make a second deposit to be able to cash out that. What a ridiculous thing. So I accepted that I deposit, waste my 25 deposit, and cash out 100. I did so, wasted my 25 on some game.

4. I sent copies of government issued ID, driver's license and bank account statement. The Driver's license is EU conform, it is accepted for ID verification in the EU, it has hologram, etc., and it is accepted in every online casino I play, even by Neteller.

5. About a week later comes a letter: I didn't send in docs, so my withdrawal was reversed. Interestingly in the letter they write it: 'Because you’ve played on a FREE BONUS there are a couple of things that you’ll have to complete prior to be able to withdraw your winnings funds.
the total amount that you’ll be able to withdraw is a $100 (and that the total sum after depositing).' What?HuhThe chat operator told me I cannot cash out the 25 I deposited, only my winnings!!! Couldn't they mention it to me earlier??? Thank you for fooling me!!! Moreover I sent the docs about a week ago, so I don't understand why they cancelled my withdrawal saying I didn't send in docs.

6. They replied me again resending the docs saying they accepted my Bank statement, but I must send my passport. What??? I sent them that EU conform Driver's license. Why isn't that enough? Moreover in their terms and conditions they mention that Driver's License is okay. So what is the problem then??? Anyway I don't have a valid passport now. My last passport is not valid now, and in case I make a new one it will cost about the same price as my withdrawal. Moreover now I don't need it bacuse inside the EU I can use my Government issued id for verification. And anyway online casinos never asked for my passport yet, they accepted my Driver's license. What a disappointment!!! Why didn't they mention this when I contacted the Live Chat several times before depositing and asking them about the possible ways of withdrawals? They didn't mention these things. Moreover last week they promised me I will get my withdrawal until New Year. Now I doubt that will be like that.

I will never deposit any cent at Top Game now!!! And in case States doesn't pay I will report them at the Consumer Support Agency of the EU. I see they are licensed in Cyprus, fortunately, that is a EU member country as well. I am fed up with these scams at Top Game now, and I won't let them steal my money!

And some transcripts and emails:

They required a deposit from me before I could withdraw my winnings. I asked this from them last week on the Live Chat:

'Bencuri 21:44:49
Hello!
Mark 21:44:50
Thank you for contacting online support. One of our support operators will contact you as soon as possible.
Shawn 21:45:27
hi
Shawn 21:45:34
how are you
Bencuri 21:45:35
Hello!
Bencuri 21:45:40
Fine, thank you!
Shawn 21:45:49
Great
Shawn 21:45:56
Merry Xmas
Bencuri 21:46:01
I would like to ask you about my withdrawal.
Bencuri 21:46:55
I won on the 10 free no deposit chip that I got on sign up. I cashed out the max allowed amount, 100USD, that is pending in the cashier now. I also deposited 25 dollars, because it was mentioned in your terms my withdrawal is only processed in case I
Bencuri 21:46:57
deposit.
Bencuri 21:47:22
I wouldn't like to leave that 25 on my account, Is it possible to reverse the withdrawal of the 100 USD and cash out 125?
Bencuri 21:47:49
I only have the deposit on my account. I declined the first deposit bonus.
Shawn 21:48:53
no you can't
Bencuri 21:49:16
can you tell me the reason?
Shawn 21:51:07
because the max cashout is 100$ on the free bonus
Bencuri 21:51:33
so that limits this thing then, okay, no problem
Bencuri 21:52:29
can you confirm me that in case I play and win with that 25 that is on my account now, I can play any games and cash out any time? I guess I can do that as I declined the bonus before playing any rounds with my deposited money.
Bencuri 21:52:51
I would especiall like to play roulette.
Bencuri 21:57:26
Are you still here?
Shawn 21:58:33
you can play but you can only withdraw the 100$ until your second deposit
Bencuri 22:00:19
okay
Bencuri 22:00:25
I have no more questions then
Bencuri 22:00:27
bye!'

Did you catch it??? They say I can only cash out my deposit and winnings from that after making another deposit. What kind of rule is this??? I never heard of such crazy rule...


So they told me I can only withdraw 100. after this I decided to risk my 25, and I lost it. I didn't want to save it because I found it inconvenient to make another deposit.

Now a week later I got this letter from them:

'Dear Bence,
Because you’ve played on a FREE BONUS there are a couple of things that you’ll have to complete prior to be able to withdraw your winnings funds.
the total amount that you’ll be able to withdraw is a $100 (and that the total sum after depositing).

in addition you’ll have to send copies of the following documents:
· A copy of a Utility bill from within the last 3 months
· A copy of your Passport or a copy of your Driver’s license
· Your money bookers account number.
Attached is a voucher needed as well , your account ID is: --------
Most importantly, because we have not received your documents yet, your withdrawal was cancelled and you will see the funds back into our account.
It is important that once you send all the documents, that you please log in and ask for a new withdrawal request.
This allows us to get an automatic message in our system and thus re-begin the withdrawal review process.'

Now, one week later they say I could have cashed out my deposit as well. Why didn't the Live Chat operator mention it earlier before I decide to waste my deposit? And I sent them my docs a week ago, last thursday. So why didn't they check them since then?

Another cheating:

Why did the reverse my withdrawal saying I didn't sent in docs??? Today the chat operator checked my account and he could see the docs I sent in last week. So they received it. Why didn't they checked that before saying I didn't send them in and reversing my withdrawal?

You can see from the letter that they write the Driver's License is okay for them Every reputable casino, Bwin, William Hill, Bet 365, even Neteller accepted my Driver's License, for some reason Casino States doesn't. A no name, little casino has higher standards then William Hill or Neteller? Hehehehe  Good joke!!! It is a brand new driver's license with the latest security elements on it, hologram, stamp, etc. Why don't they accept it?Huh? I can even use it to cross the border to some non-EU countires.

Just another odd think to laugh at that arrived today:

Dear Bence:

Thanks for contacting our security department!

Please advise that the reason why we did not accept the documents in the
first place is because we require a hard copy of your passport.

We will be more than glad to process your request once that has been
received

Best regards,

Allan

So now they want hard copy??? Heh...

Yes I am a member at them. But unfortunately I am only eligible for help by them on their accredited casinos. I cannot file complaints against non-accredited ones. This is because I have already filed a complaint against a non-accredited casino at Casinomeister, and you can't do that twice.

What I will do is that I will report this casino at the Consumer Support and Anti Fraud Agency of the EU. This casinos's provider, Proxima Technoligies has it's address in Cyprus, and that is a EU member jurisdiction governed by EU law. So I won't miss reporting them here at our local agency and they will hopefully catch them in Cyprus.

The good news are that fortunately I received the 100 withdrawal by moneybookers in the end recently. I contacted Top Game through their e-mail at their site, they agreed to look into the matter, so maybe because of that.

In spite of this I do claim Casino States cheaters. Their Live Chat misleaded me when I asked them about the withdrawal rules on my 25 deposit, that could have been cashed out, as I was notified one week later after loosing it. Back then the support said the opposite.

Also it is abnormal what they did with my documents. As you could read from ym posts, even Neteller accepted my Drivers license, that is a Plastic, EU standard Driver's license with hologram. I can cross the border with that to some countires. What was the problem with that at Casino States? Do they have so high security rules that they cannot accept what has never been dened by any online casino yet? On my license it is even printed in English that it is a Driver's license, so they could have no doubt what it is. Instead, they wanted my passport, that is overdue now anyway. It was valid until 2008. dec. Interestingly that unvalid, old passport was good for them, this brand new Driver's license, that was good for Neteller was not. And they even wanted a hard copy of it!!! Hehehe!!! You know what....

In case I also get my 25 dollar to my moneybookers, the money that was 'stolen' from my because the Live Chat misleaded me, maybe I will consider them legit casino. But then there also remains this ordeal with my docs.

Glad you received the $100, I agree about the documents, I have been in similar situations. I don't have a passport and I don't drive so I don't have a Driver's License either. It really irks me that they will only accept one of these 2 and not everyone has them.
