Refused to pay


3 months ago
I opened my account in 2021 (Went through an egregious Verification process). Deposited and withdrew numerous times throughout the years. I recently won 15000 euros and tried to withdrawal. That's when the headache began. Ive submitted every document required (drivers license, proof of residence, bank statement, and selfies.) I was denied my withdrawal over and over. Finally I received an email saying all my funds were being confiscated because I committed fraud. No fraud was committed. 20bet won't give any reasoning. they just simple stole my money without any excuse.

Hello Scottyg69,

Thank you for your message.

Following our review, you submitted a fake ID during the verification process. Our records also show that you had a duplicate account where a document was previously provided under different personal details. This is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and our KYC/AML requirements.

As a result, we were obligated to void the winnings and close the account in question.

Voided bet after the match is played
On August 8, 2025, I placed a bet on the 20Bet website on a Finnish U20 football league (P20 Ykkönen) match: U20 Sapa vs. U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki.

I bet on the 1x2 market, picking option 2, meaning a win for U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, with odds of 6.00. I placed multiple bets of €10–€50 each, totaling €500. The match ended 0–4 in favor of U20 Kontu Ita-Helsinki, so my bets won. The bookmaker initially paid the winnings into my account, bringing my balance to €3,000.
The next day, when I checked my account, my balance was only €500, and my bets on that match had been voided. I asked in their live chat why my stake had been refunded, and most likely a bot replied that my stake had been refunded because the match result had been known in advance. I responded that I had placed my bets a day before the match started, so I could not have known the final result. They only replied that the team had made a decision and it could not be changed.

On August 10, 2025, I also sent an email to [email protected] about the matter, but I have not received a reply. Now I am wondering whether it can really be the case that a bookmaker can freeroll my €500 stake by declaring after my winning bets that the match result was fixed, without providing any proof of that. In that case, a bettor would have no chance of winning if the bookmaker refunds the stake from winning bets. Would my stake have been refunded if I had lost the bet—if Sapa U20 had won? I doubt it.
A bookmaker should void bets before the match starts if they intend to do so, not after the match when result is known. Of course, I have no information that the match was fixed, and there has been no news or information anywhere in the media or on the internet suggesting it was, so this seems to be a completely made-up explanation. I placed the bet purely on a hunch, and now I feel cheated. Therefore, I want 20Bet to pay my full winnings, as they rightfully should in this case.
