1xBet blocked account with 14000 usd after full KYC


3 months ago
I am filing this formal complaint against 1xBet regarding my account (ID: 505561291). Despite being a loyal customer since 2022 with total deposits exceeding $300,000 USD, the platform is currently withholding my legitimate balance of $14,000 USD through a deliberate "logical trap."

1. The Verification Marathon (KYC Timeline):
I have fully cooperated with every "salami-slicing" request from the security team for over two weeks:

Feb 7: Provided handheld ID card and email confirmation selfie.

Feb 10: Provided SIM card invoice, property utility bills, and credit card statements.

Feb 13: Provided Driver’s License.

Feb 16: Provided International Passport.

Feb 19: Provided the final requested document—a handheld selfie with handwritten code "H8ns3B" and the date.

2. The Logical Trap:
On Feb 20, I received an email stating my account is "under verification" and instructing me to "log in to check further instructions in My Account." However, 1xBet has blocked my login access. I am currently in a "Dead Loop":

The Security Team asks me to check instructions inside the account.

The System prevents me from logging in (Status: Blocked).

My repeated emails explaining this technical block are met with automated replies saying "information was already provided."

3. Conclusion:
This $14,000 balance consists of my original funds and legitimate winnings from high-odds NBA bets. This technical lockout is a bad-faith tactic to confiscate my funds. I demand that 1xBet:

Restore my login access immediately.

Confirm the completion of my KYC (as the "Code Selfie" was the final step).

Process my full withdrawal of $14,000.

I have attached screenshots of my balance, the "H8ns3B" code selfie, and the "Account Blocked" error message.

Dear Moderator,

Please review the full communication history of the past two months. I have been extremely cooperative, providing every single piece of evidence requested, including my National ID, Passport, Driver’s License, Proof of Address, and Bank Statements.

Despite this, 1xBet keeps demanding the same photos repeatedly. It is obvious that they have no intention of paying out my balance and are simply trying to "exhaust" me to keep my funds.

I refuse to participate in this endless cycle any longer. I officially request that you close this case as "UNRESOLVED."

Thank you for the support and assistance your platform has provided throughout this process.

Dear Moderator,

I have reached my limit with 1xBet’s malicious delay tactics. I am officially requesting to close this case as "UNRESOLVED." I want to put the following facts on the record:

1.Refusal to Communicate: 1xBet’s security team has NOT replied to a single email from me since February 25, 2026. They have completely ignored my direct inquiries for nearly two months.

2.Proof Already Provided: I submitted the "Triple-Element Selfie" (ID + Face + Email Screen) over two weeks ago, both in the 1xBet portal and publicly in this thread.

3.Infinite Loop: 1xBet’s claim that they "haven't received it in the correct format" is a blatant lie used to restart the clock every time.

I refuse to participate in this circus any longer. I will not provide the same photos for the 10th time. Since 1xBet refuses to release my $13,987.65 after 60 days of full cooperation, please mark this case as UNRESOLVED.

I want their rating to reflect how they treat customers, and I will now take my evidence to the relevant regulatory bodies.


I am officially requesting to close this case as "UNRESOLVED."



Thank you for your time, Moderator.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

We have checked the status of your case with the Security Team. At the moment, they have informed us that they have not received the selfie in the required format according to the instructions.

Please make sure that:

-You take a selfie while holding your identification document.
-The photo must clearly show your face and the document.
-Additionally, the background must display the email correspondence with the Security Team (the same email thread where your verification is being handled).
-All details must be clearly visible and the image should not be cropped or edited.

We kindly ask you to carefully follow these instructions and upload the correct selfie again.

Once the required document is properly submitted, the verification process will continue.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,
1xBet Team

Holding my winnings hostage with endless KYC delays

Dear AskGamblers Complaints Team,

I am filing this formal arbitration request against 1xBet for its predatory, unethical, and systematic refusal to payout my legitimate sports betting winnings of MYR 3,504.50. The operator is intentionally abusing the KYC process to hold my funds hostage, hoping to wear down my patience so I will gamble my winnings back.

Below is the irrefutable timeline of 1xBet’s deliberate stalling tactics:

* May 19, 2026 (Deposit & Win): I made three separate deposits via bank card, totaling MYR 610. I placed a legitimate bet on a sports match and won MYR 2,284.50, bringing my total account balance to MYR 2894.50.

* May 19, 2026 (The Payout Block): I submitted a withdrawal request for MYR 2,500. 1xBet instantly blocked my payout with a "Document required" alert. I contacted their security team immediately on the same day.

* May 19 – 21, 2026 (Phase 1): They demanded proof of my deposit history, National ID, and personal selfies. I fully complied and submitted everything on time.

* May 22, 2026 (Phase 2 Delay): Instead of approving my payout, they dragged the process further by demanding Utility Bills. I submitted it immediately.

* May 26, 2026 (Phase 3 Delay): They prolonged the delay again, demanding photos of my Driver’s License. I submitted it immediately.

* May 29, 2026 (Phase 4 Delay): They came back with yet another piecemeal demand for my Passport photos. I submitted it immediately.

* June 1, 2026 (Latest Robotic Response): Today, after 13 consecutive days of total cooperation, instead of processing my funds, they sent me yet another automated canned response stating: "Your request is still under review... We kindly ask for your patience."

The Breach of Regulatory Conduct:

Since May 19th, 1xBet has provided absolutely zero transparent communication regarding the status or timeframe of my verification. This is a textbook "Piecemeal KYC" strategy, which is heavily penalized under international gambling regulations. By requesting one document every two days and providing automated silence, 1xBet is intentionally weaponizing the verification process as a predatory psychological trap to delay payouts for low-tier winnings.

My identity is fully verified, and my deposit funds are clean. I have zero account violations.

I respectfully request the AskGamblers Team to officially intervene, investigate this predatory conduct, and compel 1xBet to release/approve my withdrawal immediately. I am attaching full, chronological screenshot evidence of all my document submissions, betting history, and 1xBet's repetitive robotic email responses.

Locked my 5200 USD balance for 9 days through endless KYC document requests

Player ID: < sent to casino >

Ticket Number: #93370959

Verification process started: May 17, 2026, 12:20 PM

Current status: Day 9, account locked, full balance of $5,200 inaccessible


CASE SUMMARY:


On May 17, 2026, I attempted to withdraw funds from my 1xBet account,

where my total balance is $5,200. The withdrawal request triggered a

"Data Change" verification process (ticket #93370959). Since then, my

account has been locked and I cannot access any of my own funds.


IMPORTANT: Deposits via Polymarket cryptocurrency wallet were processed

without any verification requirement. The KYC process was initiated

ONLY upon withdrawal request.


DOCUMENTS PROVIDED (all submitted in full):


1. Turkish national ID card (front and back)

2. Selfie holding ID card with security email correspondence visible

on screen (in the exact format requested)

3. Driver's license

4. Official residence certificate from Turkish e-Government system

(QR-verifiable)

5. Natural gas, water, electricity, and internet bills

6. Polymarket cryptocurrency wallet screenshots

7. Polygonscan blockchain transaction hashes (publicly verifiable):

- 0xe5e419568e9727fe1306a5340d5ed214fb070a33fb61b0e6d243e1918000d806

- 0x0c432c30f84ebd689d8280e1a7321ce8b0f6f58c2b27754461e7f60faa6a405c

8. 1xBet deposit receipts: 21629228987 and 21629161081

9. Handwritten verification code with selfie (today, day 9)


TIMELINE OF DELAY TACTICS:


The verification process has been deliberately extended through

sequential document requests. Each time I provide a requested document,

a new one is requested instead of completing the verification. The

72-hour clock effectively resets with each new document request,

making the "maximum 72 hours" clause in 1xBet's Terms and Conditions

meaningless.


CONFLICTING TIME COMMITMENTS:


1. 1xBet Terms and Conditions: "Verification can take up to 72 hours

from receipt of documents"

2. Live support agent Kerem (May 18): "Security team responds within

72 hours"

3. Brand representative on Şikayetvar (Turkish complaint platform):

"Process can take up to 11 days"

4. Live support today: "We cannot provide a definite timeframe"


These four statements directly contradict each other. The operator

is now at Day 9 (216 hours), nearly 3x the original Terms and

Conditions commitment.


PATTERN OF EVASION:


- Security email ([email protected]) sent identical

copy-paste responses 5+ times: "Documents under review, please wait."

- Live support agents (Kerem, Birol, Mine, Sarp) all gave identical

templated responses and refused to escalate the case.

- Telegram official channel admin acknowledged "I cannot contribute

to your case but I will forward it" — no result followed.


VIOLATION CLAIMS:


1. Breach of 1xBet's own Terms and Conditions (72-hour maximum

verification clause)

2. Discriminatory KYC enforcement (deposits not verified, only

withdrawals)

3. Inconsistent verification process (no upfront document list,

indefinite expansion of requirements)

4. Failure to provide reasonable customer service or escalation

path despite multiple requests


EXPECTED RESOLUTION:


1. Immediate completion of the verification process

2. Release of my full account balance of $5,200, which I have been

unable to access for 9 days

3. Written confirmation that no further documents will be requested

4. Acknowledgment of the time commitment violation


PERSONAL IMPACT:


I have been financially harmed by this delay. I had to borrow money

to cover obligations during this period while my own funds remain

locked. The verification process has crossed the line from due

diligence into systematic obstruction.


All correspondence, email records, live chat screenshots, and

blockchain proof are available and will be attached or provided

upon request.


Thank you for your mediation.
