Formal Complaint Regarding Unjustified Loss of Bet vs Barau FC vs Wikki Tourists July 7 2025


10 months ago
Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to file a formal complaint regarding the unjustified loss of my bet on the match Barau FC vs Wikki Tourists, played on July 7, 2025 at 10:30 UTC, as part of the NNL Super 8 playoffs, placed via 1xBet.

I placed five separate bets, each with different amounts, as follows:

1st bet: Placed at 13:02, reference 67143814449, stake 580 MAD, odds 2.90

2nd bet: Placed at 13:03, reference 67143830493, stake 620 MAD, odds 2.78

3rd bet: Placed at 13:03, reference 67143838669, stake 650 MAD, odds 2.70

4th bet: Placed at 13:04, refere­nce­671­438­50789, stake 640 MAD, odds 2.60

5th bet: Placed at 13:04, reference 67143857529, stake 690 MAD, odds 2.52

Each of these bets was placed on the condition "Under 1.5 cards in the match".

According to the live match feed on 1xBet and SofaScore, only one yellow card was issued (in the 38th minute). No second booking occurred, and the match ended with a total of one yellow card.

SofaScore, an international and trusted source, also confirms that only one yellow card was recorded. No local media or other reputable source reported any additional cards. However, 1xBet declared my bet as lost, based on unverified statistics not supported by any official or reliable sources. This appears to be a clear error.

Therefore, I am requesting:
A full refund of my total stake,
or

A correct validation of my betting slips, if the number of cards was indeed the determining factor.

I kindly ask you to:

Review the official match data, including those from SofaScore or any reliable feed,

Provide me with a detailed explanation justifying the rejection of my bet,

Ensure a swift and fair resolution of this issue (refund or validation of my bets).I remain available for any further information you may require.

Looking forward to your favorable response.
Sincerely,
Disputed sportsbook 1xBet Sportsbook

Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details and/or proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that 1xBet Sportsbook management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions.

Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved and it is now officially closed.

Dear MATSOUKA,

Thank you for your detailed message and for providing all necessary information.

We would like to clarify that a second yellow card was issued in the 67th minute of the match between Barau FC and Wikki Tourists.
This second yellow card brings the total number of cards in the match to two, which is why the condition “Under 1.5 cards” was not fulfilled, and your bets were settled as lost.
For full transparency, we are attaching a screenshot from the live match feed, clearly showing the moment when the second yellow card was issued.

Best regards,
1xBet Team

Following your request for clarification regarding the total amount of the disputed payments, I would like to provide the following details:

I filed a complaint concerning 5 coupons that were mistakenly lost. I forgot to include the total amount at stake.

  • If the coupons are considered winning, the total amount is 8,563.4 MAD (Moroccan Dirhams).
  • In the case of a refund of my bets, the total amount would be 3,180 MAD (Moroccan Dirhams).

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.

RM2,500
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.
