Complaint against 1xbet for abusive closure of my account without refund of the balance

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.

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.

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am writing to file a complaint regarding my 1xBet account, which has been blocked without any clear explanation or proper support.

Here are my account details:

Account ID: < sent to the casino >

Registered Email: < sent to the casino >

Currently, I am unable to access my account. When I contacted local support, they informed me that my account has been blocked by the security department. However, despite multiple attempts, I have not received any response from the security team.

I am fully willing to cooperate and provide any required documents for verification. Unfortunately, I am not getting any guidance on what exactly is needed, and my issue remains unresolved.

I kindly request your assistance in reviewing my case and helping me restore access to my account or at least receive a clear explanation regarding the block.

Thank you for your time and support.

I requested a withdrawal of ₹39,760 on 6 May at 23:10 from my 1xBet account.

The withdrawal status shows approved, but the money has not been credited to my bank account yet.

I have contacted support multiple times, but they keep sending standard responses without resolving the issue.

I have also provided bank statements as proof that the amount has not been received.

I request that AskGamblers help resolve this issue and ensure my withdrawal is processed as soon as possible.

Hello AskGamblers Complaints Team,

I am submitting this complaint regarding a withdrawal issue and extremely poor customer service from 1xbet.

On May 1st, 2026, I requested a withdrawal of 8,000 RUB from my gaming account to my bank card. According to the company's own terms, such requests should be processed or issues resolved within 7 days. However, today is May 11th, and 11 days have passed with no sign of my money or any official response to my inquiry.

Furthermore, I am deeply disappointed with the behavior of the support team. Whenever I contact the live chat, the operators provide generic "please wait" answers without any specific details or timeframes. Most frustratingly, they frequently close the chat session abruptly while I am still typing or asking questions, showing a complete lack of professional ethics and respect for the customer.

I have already sent emails to their support and licensing body, but the issue remains unresolved. I am seeking your assistance to help me get my funds and to hold the operator accountable for this delay and their unprofessional conduct.
