Endless Verification Cycle

I have been a customer of the site for about a year. Now after I won some money I am been asked to provide endless cycles of documentation. A simple ID chech turned into endless amounts of requested documents with strange rules. I was asked now to provide a picture of me holding my ID and the device that I had used to make place the bets with my profile clearly visible. I asked another person to take the photos which where as high quality photos as you can get with an Iphone. My ID and my phone was clearly visible with all the necessary information. Now I am getting these very strange responses them for example: ” Please pay attention to the requirements of the Security Department, otherwise further actions are impossible.” or ” Hello! Dear customer, please provide us with colored photos of your valid national ID card (both sides, please) or the main page of your passport.
Photos must be in JPG format. Scanned copies and screenshots are not accepted for verification. Make sure that the size of each sent file is more than 1 MB.
The photos should not be cropped, all data and whole document should be visible and readable on the photo.” When I ask what is wrong with my pictures I don’t get an answer about a missing details but instead of these vague copy paste messages.

So could you now kindly send me the list of all the necessary paper work that you will still need for the verification so I can send them all to you at the same time.

I understand that the verification process is necessary for all licenced companys but you have made it endless.

You are reviewing my documents for 3 days and then ask for more. When I am trying to ask have I now provided enough of documents when giving the ones you are asking for you are just ignoring me completely.

Can you please answer me please: have I now provided all the necessary paper work and if I have not please request those still necessary now and all at the same time. It is completely insane that you will ask for one document then reviewing it for 3 days and then asking for more. Can you please request them all at once. I am of course gonna provide you with all the necessary paper work but this is getting ridiculous. You are clearly making the verification process as long as possible by not asking them all at once.

Dear @joeltasa2,

We would like to clarify that the verification process is standard and is carried out in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

At the moment, the utility bill you provided is under review by the Security Department. Please wait for their response, as the relevant team needs some time to check the document properly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Update: The Account Balance is now 5173.6 euros and I have pending bets with total value of 252.4 euros. Their last ”update” if we don’t include this ” All requests are processed in turn. Please wait, you will get a notification.” is soon from 3 days ago. They have not given me any timeframe and I am afraid that IF they even respond they are just going to ask even more documents preventing from ever getting my money.

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
