Subject: Complaint Regarding Confiscation of Winnings and Account Closure – Deposit Refund Pending

I am submitting this complaint regarding my account with 22bet.

Account Details:

My 22Bet Account ID: 1544333189

My Full name is < removed >

Phone number is < removed >

My linked email is < removed >

I followed all their terms including:

Registered with my real identity

Single account only

Deposits made from my personal bank account

Summary of Events

I deposited ₦168,000 recently on my 22bet Account and placed a bet at odds 1.87.

I successfully withdrew ₦25,000 after winning the bet I placed which gave me #314160 as potential winning return.

My account was then sent to security review.

After investigation, 22bet informed me that my account was closed due to alleged violation of their Terms and Conditions.

They confiscated all winnings.

They stated in writing:

“You can withdraw the deposited sum only.”


Although 22bet stated that I can withdraw my deposited funds, my account access has been disabled and I am unable to log in to initiate withdrawal.

I have contacted their security department requesting instructions on how to withdraw the refundable deposit, but I have not received a resolution.

Important Clarifications:

I did not use any bonuses.

I did not operate multiple accounts.

All deposits were made directly from my personal bank account.

I have complied with identity verification requests.


Requested Resolution

I respectfully request:

Confirmation of the exact refundable deposit balance.

Immediate processing of the remaining deposit refund (₦168000) to my original bank account.

I am not requesting the confiscated winnings. I am only requesting the return of my deposited funds as stated by the operator.

My Evidence Attached

Deposit confirmations

Bank statement showing deposits

Email correspondence from 22bet

Account closure notice

All these evidences I have and I can provide. I am readily to provide you any evidence you want me to provide.


Thank you for reviewing my complaint. I respectfully request assistance in resolving this matter.

Dear AskGamblers Team,
I respectfully disagree with 22Bet’s statement that I used multiple accounts. I have operated only one account (ID: 1544333189), registered under my real identity and funded strictly from my personal bank account.
I have never created or controlled any duplicate account. If the operator claims otherwise, I kindly request that they provide clear and verifiable evidence showing that I personally operated multiple accounts. My winnings should not have been confisticated because I do not deserve this. I am very assured of myself and I clarify that I do not have any connections concerning multiple accounting and I do not use any third party payments for deposit and withdraw.
All my deposits were made from my own bank account, and I did not use any bonuses. My bets were placed normally without any manipulation.
I also did not acknowledge owning multiple accounts. If there was any misunderstanding during communication, I want to clearly state that I do not have any connection to other accounts.
Additionally, 22Bet stated that my deposit has been refunded. However, as of today, I have not received any refund to my Opay account. I request proof of the alleged refund transaction (including date, amount, and transaction reference).
Since there is no valid evidence of wrongdoing and no refund received, I respectfully request:
Immediate proof of refund or processing of my ₦168,000 deposit.
Reconsideration of the confiscated winnings, as the decision appears unsupported by evidence.
I am fully willing to cooperate and provide any verification required.
Thank you.

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
