Account verification blocked due to impossible bank statement requirements

Hello,
I am submitting this complaint because 22Bet has been blocking my withdrawal due to an impossible KYC requirement.
Since December 12, 2025, I have fully cooperated with all KYC requests from the casino. I provided identity documents, selfies, and all other verification steps requested, which were accepted by the casino.
The problem started when 22Bet requested a bank statement linked to my card, requiring:
the card number,
the cardholder name,
related transactions,
a handwritten signature,
and a physical bank stamp.
I provided official bank documents generated from my online banking system and later physical documents issued by my bank branch. These documents contain my name, card number (partially masked), and transaction history related to my 22Bet account.
When I personally visited my bank branch, the bank staff informed me that they do not issue bank statements with handwritten signatures or physical bank stamps, and that no alternative document containing those elements can be generated, as all statements are issued digitally.
Despite this, 22Bet:
first confirmed that PDF files and screenshots were acceptable,
then rejected the same documents,
later rejected professionally scanned PDFs,
and did not provide any realistic alternative document that my bank can issue.
I have sent everything that is technically and legally possible for my bank to provide. The casino continues to reject valid documents without offering a feasible solution, leaving my withdrawal permanently blocked.
I am requesting AskGamblers’ assistance to help resolve this issue, as I have fully cooperated with the verification process, but the casino’s requirements cannot be met due to banking limitations beyond my control.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards

Thank you for the clarification. I have already contacted the support team several times and provided all the documents issued by my bank. I am still waiting for a clear explanation of what exact requirement is missing or why the document is not accepted. I am fully willing to cooperate and provide any additional clarification if needed.

withheld part of my deposit and closed my account after verification
22bet withheld part of my deposit and closed my account after full verification

I am submitting a complaint against 22bet regarding withheld funds and unfair account closure.

On 17.03.2026 and 18.03.2026 I made deposits via Skrill:
- 261.11 EUR (Transaction ID: 6909641100)
- 400 EUR (Transaction ID: 6910989445)

Immediately after these deposits, 22bet initiated a full verification process (KYC). I fully cooperated and provided everything they requested:
- ID (both sides)
- Selfie with ID
- Additional selfie with device and email visible
- Utility bill (proof of address)
- Passport copy
- Selfie with handwritten code and current date

All documents were accepted without any issue.

On 29.03.2026, I received an email stating that my account was closed and that I could only withdraw my deposit amount.

At that moment:
- My total balance was approximately 1200 EUR
- My deposit amount was exactly 661.11 EUR

I requested a full withdrawal of 661.11 EUR.

However, I only received 283.91 EUR (Transaction ID: 6934394004).

This means that 377.20 EUR of my own deposited funds was not returned.

After this, my account was completely blocked and I could no longer access it.

I contacted 22bet multiple times via email regarding the missing funds, but they have completely ignored all my messages.

I also escalated the case to Skrill. Skrill confirmed that:
- Part of the refund (400 EUR) is still missing
- They contacted 22bet multiple times
- 22bet is not responding to them either

This is extremely concerning.

To summarize:
- I passed full verification
- My account was closed without clear justification
- I was told I would receive my deposit
- I did not receive the full deposit
- 22bet is ignoring both me and Skrill

I am requesting the return of my missing deposited funds in the amount of 377.20 EUR.

This behavior is completely unfair and unacceptable.

Unlawful Withholding of Verified Funds

I am officially filing a dispute regarding my account [1232409677]. My funds (₹10,000) have been held since January 23, 2026. I have provided all requested proof of payment, bank statements, and ID verification multiple times.

Transaction Details:


User ID: [1232409677]

Transaction Date: 23rd January

Deposit Amount: ₹10,000

Transaction Reference/UTR Number: [602322820171]


I deposited ₹10,000 INR on 23rd Jan 2026 the payment was successful from my end but it was never added into the gaming account hence when I contacted the customer support team through various mediums on multiple occasions but I got nothing only computer generated answers again and again which irritated me a lot. Every time I contacted them for my payment refund they used to give me fake commitments that your funds are safe with us and will be transferred to you within few hours this is what they used to tell me again and again but I never received the funds now its more than 40 days has been passed away still I haven't received my funds.


Also the customer support service is pathetic giving computer generated answers all the time and sending me emojis of yoga and asking me to keep patience this is really disgusting behaviour of their customer support and hence I became angry and slammed them because I already kept patience for more than 40 days still issue is not resolved and they are playing with my emotions and wasting the time and doing nothing and now they have blocked my gaming account.

They don't have any fear despite of giving warning as well still they have not shown any courtesy to resolve my issue and transfer the funds


Please take strict action against this horrible people and I don't have any expectations only I need my money back ₹10,000 and already I have provided them bank statement and payment screenshot numerous times.

My bank details are as follows:-

< removed >


If this issue is not resolved within the next 24 hours, I will be forced to take the following actions:


File a formal complaint with relevant Consumer Protection authorities and report this transaction as fraud and will go for legal approach.


I don't want to do this but they are resolving my issue and still I have not received my ₹10,000 hence they have not kept any option in-front of me, So my humble request to you is please intervene in this matter and resolve the issue within 24 hours and help me get my money back. I have attached the bank statement for your reference were you can clearly see that my payment deduction of ₹10,000 is there in bank statement
