Complaint #405 1xBet Sportsbook

Account verification refusal and withheld funds

By smallpairholds

5 months ago

Hello AskGamblers team,

I am filing this complaint against 1xBet for refusing to verify my account and withholding my funds despite my full compliance with every verification request they have made. Account ID: 1440153259.

On January 21st, I attempted to withdraw my balance following a winning parlay bet settled in my favor after Bodø/Glimt defeated Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. My withdrawal was blocked with the message: "ERROR — speak with customer service."

Since then, I have sent 1xBet 15 emails. They have not responded to a single one. My only means of communication is live chat, where agents routinely cut off sessions, paste boilerplate responses, request documents I have already provided, place me on extended holds, and instruct me to return in one hour, three hours, or 72 hours.

I have provided every document requested of me, including old and new passports, selfies for verification, screenshots of my sent emails as proof of prior submissions, and screenshots of my cryptocurrency wallet deposits.

The turning point came when 1xBet demanded personal information tied to my cryptocurrency wallet. I explained that I use a self-custody wallet, which by design does not have a registered name or email. I nevertheless provided documentation that satisfied their stated request. They then claimed that what I provided was not what they originally asked for. I have documented evidence proving that it was exactly what they asked for.

I have a substantial balance on my account. Because I was able to log in and continue using the platform, I initially believed this was a routine KYC process and continued to play. I now understand that 1xBet has no intention of completing verification. Their conduct, the unanswered emails, the shifting demands, and the outright contradiction of their own prior requests constitute bad faith. I am requesting AskGamblers' intervention to resolve this matter.

AskGamblers,

Either 1xbet was gaslighting me or their departments don't communicate. After their last message telling me to check the old email that has never worked, I tried logging in out of desperation. To my surprise, an OTP code arrived at my new email. I was able to log in. The email on my account had already been changed.

So while the person representing 1xbet here was telling me to go back to square one, the change had already been made. Why they couldn't say that, I don't know.

I've withdrawn all my funds and will no longer be playing with 1xbet. This six month nightmare is over. And if I hadn't tried logging in on my own, I never would have known.

This process has cost me countless nights of sleep and has genuinely affected my mental health. I hope anyone reading this thinks twice before playing at 1xbet, where locking a verified account for months and dragging out simple requests appears to be standard practice.

The anger I've felt through this process has turned me off sportsbooks entirely. I won't be back.

Thank you to AskGamblers for the mediation. It's a shame 1xbet had to waste so much of my time and your's.

Not a surprising response, same as the previous four. Let me restate the facts.

I contacted AskGamblers after weeks of failed communication with 1xbet. After back and forth in this thread, I provided everything they asked for and 1xbet confirmed, right here, that my account was verified and in good standing.

Since then, I've been trying to resolve one remaining issue: I don't receive OTP emails from 1xbet, which means I can't log in. I provided every document requested. The documents are the same ones they already approved during verification. Their own employees said this should take 24 hours.

It has been almost a month. Every response from 1xbet is a request for more time. For something that should take less than a minute.

This goes against the spirit of this mediation service. I don't know why 1xbet is behaving this way. I have some ideas.

1xbet: when is the latest I can expect to access my account? I want a date. There must be a deadline.

Unjustified Account Freeze and Account Block Player ID 948212133

Dear AskGamblers Grievance Team,

I am officially lodging this public complaint against 1xBet regarding the arbitrary, unjustified freeze and complete block of my player account. My sole objective in filing this dispute is to have my account access fully restored.

Account Details:
- Player ID: 948212133
- Country: Algeria

Case Description:
On Friday, September 4th, I proactively initiated contact with the 1xBet Security Department via email to make a routine administrative inquiry regarding updating and activating secure withdrawal methods.To ensure absolute compliance, I immediately attached high-quality copies of my official biometric identity card along with a clear verification selfie.

Immediately after submitting my documents via email, my account was completely frozen, resulting in an "Account Not Found" error upon login. When I subsequently attempted to follow up on this freeze through the live support chat, the agents failed to provide any technical support or helpful assistance. All of their responses were generic, repeatedly telling me to wait for a reply from the Security Department email.

More than 6 days (over 140 hours) have passed since I complied with all verification procedures via email, yet the Security Department has failed to provide any formal response, justification, or update. My profile is entirely clean, and there is zero compliance ground to block my access.

Requested Outcome:
I demand that 1xBet immediately lift the precautionary freeze on my Account ID 948212133 and restore full access to my profile.

I am attaching full screenshots of the email notifications proving my account is under an unresolved review.

Thank you for your intervention.

Sincerely,
Verified Player

Immediately after placing a withdrawal request my account was suddenly blocked

I am submitting this complaint against 1xBet regarding the unjustified freezing of my account (Account ID: [17807462731]) containing a balance of 63,900 EGP.
Key Facts:

My account was registered less than one month ago.
Immediately after placing a withdrawal request via an authorized agent, my account was suddenly blocked.
Customer support gave an unreasonable pretext regarding "gambling addiction" and demanded a medical certificate proving I am not addicted to unblock the account.
Requesting medical documentation for an account less than 30 days old—right after a withdrawal request—is an arbitrary tactic to withhold my funds.
Formal complaint emails sent to [email protected] and [email protected] have been completely ignored.
Requested Outcome: I request 1xBet to unblock my account immediately and release my funds of 63,900 EGP

Unresolved cash withdrawal 5206560041 Ticket no 21512534

On 26.08.2026, I initiated a cash withdrawal (#5206560041) for ₹4,000 INR via local cash agent Shahazad Ahmed (Kathua). The agent code expired, but ₹4,000 was deducted from my account balance and never returned.
Email customer support representatives (Faiz, Vineet) acknowledged this under Ticket № 21512534, confirming in writing that the transaction is held up for manual verification by their payments wing.
I have submitted complete PDF bank statements proving zero receipt of funds. Over 12 days have passed, and support continues sending generic stalling templates without executing the required manual ledger credit to User ID 1296530985. I am requesting AskGamblers' intervention to enforce a balance credit.

1xbet Payment of INR 50000 delayed for 45 days

Subject: Urgent Final Escalation – ₹50,000 Withdrawal Pending for 43 Days – Query No. 19925488

Dear Support Team,

I am writing once again regarding my pending ₹50,000 withdrawal.

It has now been 43 days since I have been waiting for this payment, and despite repeatedly providing the required documents and evidence, the issue remains unresolved.

I am again attaching my bank statement covering 24 July 2026 to 6 September 2026. This statement clearly shows that the ₹50,000 associated with Transfer No. 5097358649 has not been credited to my bank account.

For complete clarity, on 25 July 2026, I made two separate withdrawals of ₹50,000:

Transfer No. 5095959849 – ₹50,000: Successfully received in my bank account.

Transfer No. 5097358649 – ₹50,000: Still not received in my bank account.

I have already provided my bank statement multiple times, including video evidence showing the statement directly from my banking application. Yet I continue to receive the same clarification request.

I request you to please stop requesting the same statement repeatedly and escalate this case to your senior payment team for a manual investigation.

If you claim that Transfer No. 5097358649 was successfully processed, please provide the UTR/RRN/Bank Reference Number and proof of the actual credit so that I can verify it with my bank.

Query No.: 19925488

Player ID: 1369975713

Missing Amount: ₹50,000

Missing Transfer No.: 5097358649

Withdrawal Date: 25 July 2026, 19:40

Statement Period Attached: 24 July 2026 – 6 September 2026

Time Waiting: 43 days

I have fully cooperated with your verification process and have provided every document requested. Waiting for 43 days for a ₹50,000 payment is completely unreasonable.

Please provide a specific response regarding Transfer No. 5097358649 and resolve this matter immediately. If there is any issue with the attached statement, please clearly explain what is missing rather than sending the same automated response again.

I look forward to your urgent resolution.

Kind regards,

Has Withheld My Funds for More Than Two Months Despite Full KYC Cooperation

I am submitting this complaint because I have been trying to withdraw my funds from 1xBet for more than two months, but I have been unable to access my money because my account verification has still not been completed.

I want to make it absolutely clear that I am NOT refusing to complete the KYC process. I have fully cooperated with 1xBet and have provided every document they have requested from me.

During the verification process, 1xBet requested proof of address. I provided a document obtained directly from the official Mexican government website. 1xBet rejected it, claiming that it was not an "original" document.

I downloaded the document again directly from the official government website and submitted it again. 1xBet rejected it once more, again stating that it was not an "original" document, without providing a clear explanation of what exactly was considered invalid or what they meant by an "original" document.

Because I wanted to resolve the issue and demonstrate the authenticity of the document, I recorded a video showing the entire process from beginning to end: accessing the official Mexican government website, obtaining and downloading the document directly from the official source, and then sending it to 1xBet.

I also specifically asked 1xBet to explain what type of document they consider to be an "original" proof of address so that I could provide exactly what they require.

They did not answer my question.

As another attempt to satisfy their requirements, I personally went to CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad) in Mexico and obtained a physical printed electricity bill. I submitted this document to 1xBet as an additional proof of address.

Despite all of these efforts, I have still not received a clear explanation of what specific requirement remains outstanding, and my funds remain inaccessible.

It has now been more than two months since I first started trying to withdraw my money.

I have also attempted to communicate with 1xBet regarding the situation, but there have been periods of more than a month without a meaningful response to my questions.

Again, my complaint is NOT that 1xBet has requested KYC verification. I understand that an operator has the right to verify its customers.

My complaint is that I have repeatedly cooperated with the verification process, provided the documents requested, provided additional evidence when those documents were rejected, and even obtained a physical CFE bill, yet my verification remains unresolved and my funds have been inaccessible for more than two months.

At this point, I am simply asking for 1xBet to clearly explain what specific requirement remains outstanding, allow me to fulfill that requirement, complete the verification process, and allow me to withdraw my funds.

I can provide AskGamblers with all the evidence necessary to verify my claims, including:

* The complete email correspondence with 1xBet.
* Screenshots of my conversations with 1xBet.
* Copies of the documents I submitted.
* The physical CFE bill that I obtained and submitted.
* The video showing the entire process of obtaining the proof of address directly from the official Mexican government website.
* Evidence showing when the documents were submitted and when 1xBet rejected them.
* Any other information or evidence that AskGamblers considers necessary to properly review this case.

I am fully willing to cooperate with AskGamblers and provide the video, chats, emails, documents, screenshots, or any other evidence required.

I am not asking for special treatment. I simply want the verification process to be completed fairly and transparently so that I can withdraw my own funds.

I respectfully ask AskGamblers to review this case again, taking into consideration that I have been cooperating with the KYC process for more than two months while my funds remain inaccessible and 1xBet has not clearly explained what is still required from me.

Not giving withdrawal amount and just indefinite delay

On 12th July 2026 I put withdrawal request of 2 amount of rs 7400 and rs 2600 respectively and it showed withdrawal successful. I used the bank transfer method for that. After almost 10 days when I didn't receive my money, I raised 2 query with query no. 1 - 19724306 and query no. 2 19724319 for rs 7400 and rs 2600.

I was very stressed as I was not getting any update nor did I recieve my money in next 24 hours, they told me I will recieve my resolution of query by 23rd July evening but nothing happened.

Fast forward to today i.e September 1st, and I have raised almost 100 customer support calls and tension of mails and 6 times shared my bank statement again and again and begged the 1x bet team to give my money. They kept reading the standard script and told me to wait for few more hours and I will recieve my money. Multiple times I asked them for a utr and proof of transaction so that even I can contact my bank, but nothing was given, not even a notification regarding the update let alone any money, it's been 40 days since I have raised the queries and it's been 50 days since I placed the withdrawal request. I feel I am made fool around by the support team and have been absolutely waste of time to ask assistance from them, this is my hope to get my rs 10000 combined of both the query amount and please donthe need ful.
