Betting Complaints

Account verification refusal and withheld funds


7 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.

Account blocked for alleged gambling addiction

I am submitting this complaint against 1xbet regarding the blocking of my account for an alleged gambling addiction that i never reported, and the withholding of a deposit of 500,000 xaf that was never credited to my gaming account.


My account details are as follows: operator 1xbet, player id 1283722851, registered email < semt to the casino >, registered phone and name < removed >


The issue is that i made a deposit of 500,000 xaf via mobile money from the number 237690132690. the amount was debited from my mobile account but was never credited to my 1xbet gaming account. i immediately reported this missing deposit to 1xbet customer support through a request, providing proof of the transaction. shortly after, i lost access to my account, which was blocked without explanation.


After multiple requests to [email protected] with my id and identity document, i received no response. i then contacted [email protected]. they informed me that, according to their security department, my account had been blocked at my request due to gambling addiction. i formally contest this: i never requested any self-exclusion or blocking of my account for gambling addiction, and i never reported any such problem.


[email protected] then advised me that, if i did not request the block myself, i should email [email protected] with evidence of my communication with scammers, and that the managers would unblock my account via a simplified procedure. i followed this instruction and sent a complete email to [email protected] from my registered email address, with the subject "demande de déblocage – blocage non sollicité – preuves jointes – id 1283722851". this email included: (1) a formal request to unblock via the simplified procedure, contesting that i requested the block; (2) photos of my national identity card (front and back, jpeg photo format, over 1 mb each); (3) proof of the missing 500,000 xaf deposit (mobile money debit from 237690132690 showing amount, date, time and transaction number); (4) proof of my initial request to customer support regarding the missing deposit; (5) a screenshot of the response from [email protected] indicating the procedure to follow. to date, i have received no response from [email protected].


My request is that 1xbet: (1) provides proof of the alleged self-exclusion request that i supposedly made, including date, channel and content; (2) acknowledges that this block was not requested by me and lifts the restriction on my account; (3) credits or refunds the deposit of 500,000 xaf that was debited from my mobile account and never credited to my gaming account.


I have attached screenshots of my correspondence with [email protected], the response from [email protected], proof of the missing deposit, and proof of my initial support request, as evidence that i have exhausted all internal channels. i am ready to provide any further documentation required.


thank you for your assistance.


sincerely,
