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 delayed since January 2025 declined by operator

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I am submitting a complaint against 1xBet regarding a withdrawal that has been pending since January 2025. Although 1xBet informed me that my withdrawal was approved, the funds have never been deposited into my Visa card.

When I contacted support, they told me to “open a payment query” to resolve the issue. However, when I attempted to do this, the Visa option was not supported, meaning I could not submit the payment query they instructed me to use. This left me with no way to follow their process or escalate the issue through their system.

Additionally, I emailed [email protected] twice in the last two months, but I never received any reply.

Despite completing all requirements and repeatedly contacting customer support, my funds have still not been released.

Details:

• Operator: 1xBet

• Account ID / Username: №878789321 traktor1974

• Withdrawal Amount: $4443.45 (I tried withdrawing in smaller increments)

• Withdrawal Method: Visa

• Date of First Withdrawal Request: January 2025

• Current Status: Still pending with no clear explanation

I have contacted 1xBet support many times, but I only receive generic replies and no real progress. The delay is unreasonable, and I am requesting AskGamblers’ assistance to ensure that 1xBet processes my withdrawal.

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue, yet I continue to receive generic replies and no real progress.

If AskGamblers requires any more supporting documents, including screenshots or pictures of my communication with 1xBet, I am fully prepared to provide them.

Thank you for your help.

Request to Void a Late Pre Match Bet Bet Slip 84661345607
Dear AskGamblers Team,
​I am submitting this complaint to request the manual recalculation of a pre-match bet that was accepted by the bookmaker's system after the event had already started, due to a technical delay in their data feed.
​Account ID: 1512179907
Bet Slip Number: 84661345607
Event: Henan Wanxianshan (Women) vs. Zhejiang Hangzhou II (Women) - CFA Women's League One (July 20).
​The Facts:
The actual physical kick-off time for this match was 09:00 (GMT+3) / 14:00 (Beijing Time). However, due to a system delay, the pre-match markets remained open, and my pre-match bet was placed at 11:14 (GMT+3), which is after the match had concluded.
​According to 1xBet's own Terms and Conditions, specifically Section 7 (Match Results, Dates and Starting Times), Rule 6: "Bets placed after the starting time of the event shall be settled at odds of 1 (except for live bets)".
​Evidence Provided:
​1xBet's Internal System: The bookmaker has already corrected the kick-off time for this match to 09:00 on their own platform. However, my bet slip remains incorrectly settled as a "Loss" instead of being manually voided.
​Global Independent Data Providers: The correct kick-off time (09:00 GMT+3) is confirmed by major global sports platforms:
​Flashscore: https://www.flashscore.com/match/football/henan-songshan-longmen-4UwNoTQ0/zhejiang-YusCxApI/?mid=OxiX787s
​Sofascore: https://www.sofascore.com/football/match/henan-jianye-zhejiang-hangzhou/WRNjsbTNj#id:16358479
​Official Chinese Sports Portal: 163.com confirms the kick-off was at 14:00 Beijing Time (09:00 GMT+3): https://sports.163.com/caipiao/match/5457225
​Resolution Requested:
Since the pre-match bet was undeniably placed after the actual starting time, I kindly request that 1xBet applies their own Terms & Conditions (Section 7, Rule 6) and recalculates Bet Slip #84661345607 to odds of 1.00 (Void)

Withdrawal problem in 1xbet
Dear Askgamblers,

I have been a 1xBet customer for quite some time, and before this incident I had completed several deposits and withdrawals without any issues.

On 12 July 2026, I requested a withdrawal of IDR 2,952,000. Shortly afterward, the transaction was marked as "Withdrawal Successful" in my account. However, the money never arrived in my BCA bank account.

From that moment, I cooperated fully with every request made by 1xBet.

First, I was instructed to open a Payment Inquiry. The status of that inquiry repeatedly changed without any explanation. It was opened, then closed, then reopened, and eventually closed again, while my withdrawal remained unresolved.

Later, I was contacted by a representative from the Global Customer Care Team (Blair). Unlike the automated replies, Blair requested additional documents for a proper investigation, including:

My official BCA bank statement (PDF);
Photos of my passport;
Mobile operator verification.

I submitted every document immediately.

After that, Blair completely stopped responding.

Instead, every subsequent reply came only from 1xBet Indonesia Customer Support.

Unfortunately, almost every reply contained the same template response:

"Your withdrawal was successful."
"Please contact your bank."
The same payment document attached repeatedly.

No one ever addressed the evidence I had submitted.

My official BCA bank statement clearly shows that no incoming transaction of IDR 2,952,000 was received, yet none of the replies explained this discrepancy.

Even more frustrating, I was repeatedly instructed to contact my bank, but 1xBet never provided a verifiable bank transaction reference that my bank could actually use to trace the transfer.

Without such a reference, my bank cannot investigate anything.

After several days, the discussion suddenly shifted to an entirely different issue.

I was informed that I allegedly had multiple accounts.

This was surprising because I have previously made deposits and withdrawals without any problems. No one explained why this issue was only raised after I reported my missing withdrawal, nor how it related to the withdrawal itself.

To this day, I have received:

repeated template replies;
repeated copies of the same payment document;
repeated instructions to contact my bank;

but no actual resolution.

I am not asking for special treatment.

I simply ask 1xBet to do one of one things:

Pay my outstanding withdrawal of IDR 2,952,000 immediately. I have fulfilled all of my obligations, and I expect 1xBet to do the same.

After more than a week of full cooperation, I am extremely disappointed with the way this complaint has been handled.

I hope this review encourages 1xBet to conduct a genuine review of my case rather than continuing to send standard template responses.

Best,
HS

Rp2,952,000
Account withdrawal blocked for over 7 months

I am writing this complaint to urgently request the resolution of a severe issue regarding my 1xBet account. My account withdrawals have been blocked since December 24, 2025, and despite my continuous efforts to contact customer support, I have not received any solution or official response from the Security Department for over 7 months.

​Currently, a balance of over 580,000 LKR is stuck in my account, and I am completely unable to access my funds.

​Here are my account details for your verification:

​User ID: 896572643

​Registered Email: <removed>

​Account Status: Active for over 2 years, fully verified with all genuine personal details provided since day one.

​I would like to state very clearly that I have strictly followed all terms and conditions. I operate only this single, legitimate account and have never engaged in any fraudulent or suspicious activities.

​Previously, local customer support directed me to email the Security Department with my identification documents from my registered email address. I did exactly as instructed, but I have received absolutely no reply. Every time I contact customer care now, they repeatedly tell me to "wait for a reply" or "send another email," offering no real assistance or explanation.

​As a loyal customer of over two years, being ignored while my substantial funds are withheld without any justification is deeply frustrating and unfair.

​I request that you immediately review my case, unblock my withdrawals, and release my funds.
