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.

Withdrawal Method Still Unavailable

Dear AskGamblers Support,


I am submitting a new complaint regarding an ongoing withdrawal issue with 1xBet.


My name is < full name removed >

1xBet User ID: 504475939


I have been trying to withdraw my available balance from my 1xBet account. I originally attempted to withdraw using the same payment method that I had previously used successfully for both deposits and withdrawals. However, the withdrawal option was blank and greyed out, and I received the following message:

“Withdrawal can only be made using the same payment method.”


I contacted 1xBet Customer Support regarding this issue. Initially, they informed me that there was a technical problem with this withdrawal option. They then instructed me to use an alternative method by making a minimum deposit with a different payment method, placing a bet with the deposited amount at minimum odds of 1.10, and sending the required information for approval to [email protected].

These instructions were given to me directly by 1xBet Customer Support, and I followed them exactly. I made the required deposit using the new payment method, placed the required bet at minimum odds of 1.10, and sent all the requested information to the Security team as instructed.


However, I never received any approval or response from the Security team at all.


Despite not receiving any response or approval, I proceeded according to the instructions provided by Customer Support and submitted a withdrawal request using the new payment method but the withdrawal request was declined.


Unfortunately, 1xBet has not responded to either email, and I have not received any clear explanation or solution from customer support regarding my withdrawal.


I have attached all relevant evidence, including the original withdrawal error showing that the withdrawal option was blank and greyed out, my previous successful transactions, the new deposit, the required bet at minimum odds of 1.10, the information sent to the Security team, the new withdrawal request showing as declined, and the emails I sent to 1xBet.


I have followed the instructions provided directly by 1xBet Customer Support and completed everything requested from my side. I am simply trying to withdraw my existing available balance.


I therefore ask AskGamblers to contact 1xBet and assist in resolving this matter. I have followed their instructions, provided the requested information, and contacted them multiple times, but I have received no response or clear solution.


I would appreciate it if 1xBet could review my account, confirm the new payment method, and provide a clear solution so I can withdraw my funds without further delay.

Thank you for your assistance.

Withdrawal Marked as Processed but Funds Not Received

Dear AskGamblers Complaints Team,


I am submitting this complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal issue with 1xBet.


On 09.09.2026 at 11:09 PM, I submitted a withdrawal request of 5,000 TRY via Bank Transfer. My account is fully verified (KYC completed), and I have satisfied all required terms and conditions.


In the system and transaction query logs, the status of this withdrawal shows as "Processed". However, the funds have NEVER been credited to my bank account.


I have contacted 1xBet local customer support dozens of times via live chat and email. Every single time, I receive the same repetitive and vague response: "We are working on it" / "İşlem üzerinde çalışıyoruz". No concrete solution, proof of transfer (RRN/bank receipt), or timeframe has been provided.


Even today, I received another generic email response from them stating they are still working on it, without providing any real update or resolving the issue.


To date, I have not received my payout. I kindly ask the AskGamblers team to assist me in mediating this dispute and requesting official proof of transfer or the release of my funds.


Summary Details:

  • Player ID: 231500185
  • Withdrawal Amount: 5,000 TRY
  • Date & Time of Request: 09.09.2026 / 11:09 PM
  • Transaction / E-Transfer ID: 5265542843
  • Payment Method: Bank Transfer
  • Current Status in System: Processed (but funds missing)


I am attaching all relevant proof, including screenshots of the "Processed" status, my bank statement showing the money was never received, my chat logs, and the latest email response I received today.


Thank you for your assistance.


Sincerely,

< first name removed >
