Refusal to pay Hit Crossbar or Post bet on France vs Morocco match

Message on forum

Dear AskGamblers Complaint Team,
I am writing to file a formal complaint against 22bet.
Ticket number 84215685793
Bet details:

Match: France vs Morocco (FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-final, 09 July 2026)
Market: Hit the Woodwork (Crossbar or Goalpost hit)
The bet was lost / voided because 22bet claims there was no woodwork hit according to their statistics.

My issue:
According to 22bet’s own rules, bets are settled using official sources. For the FIFA World Cup 2026, the official betting data provider is Opta / Stats Perform (RunningBall). There was at least one (or more) hit on the crossbar or post during the match, which is visible in multiple match reports.
Lucas Digne hits the post on 45+2 and the whole world see the post.
22bet has not provided any official Opta data or FIFA match report to support their decision. They are relying on their internal statistics, which contradict what actually happened on the pitch.
My request:
I ask that 22bet re-check the bet using the official Opta / Stats Perform feed and pay the winnings if a woodwork hit occurred, as per their rules and industry standards.
Attachments I will provide:

Screenshot of the bet ticket
Screenshot of 22bet’s response
Links to match reports (WhoScored, ESPN, etc.)

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Dear 22BET Complaints Team,
Thank you for the explanation.
I understand the rule you described. However, there is an important issue with how the bet is presented to the customer.
When I selected the bet, the market was displayed simply as:
"Pogodak u gredu ili vratnicu" / "Hit the post or crossbar" – Yes / No
There was no additional information, footnote, warning, or clarification stating that the hit only counts if the ball remains in play afterwards, or that it does not count if the ball goes out of bounds.
This condition was not visible or mentioned anywhere at the moment of placing the bet. This makes the market very misleading and confusing for players.
I will attach the example of this kind of bet with possibilities to bet on your website.
I kindly ask you to reconsider the settlement of this bet, taking into account that the restrictive rule was not properly disclosed at the time the selection was made.
Thank you for your understanding and prompt review.

Hello kresimirv,

We would like to clarify the rules regarding shots hitting the post or crossbar.

According to the applicable terms, only those shots hitting the post or crossbar are counted where the ball remains in play afterward, meaning it touches a player, the referee, another post, or the crossbar.

A post or crossbar hit is not counted if:

the game had already been stopped before the ball hit the post or crossbar;

after hitting the post or crossbar, the ball went out of play;

after hitting the post or crossbar, the ball went into the goal and a goal was awarded.

Regarding the episode mentioned you, Lucas Digne’s shot at 45+2 does not qualify under these rules, as the ball did not remain in play after hitting the post. Therefore, this moment is not counted according to the applicable terms.

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.

refuse to refund my deposit despite ending the investigation

I am resubmitting this complaint as 22Bet has now made their final decision and confirmed they will no longer respond to my emails.

I received an email from their Security Department stating that I am entitled to withdraw my deposited sum only. I accepted this decision and requested my refund.

I received a final email from Hugo at [email protected] stating that future emails regarding this issue will not receive further consideration. This confirms their investigation is closed and they have refused to process my refund.

I am not asking for my account to be reopened or for any winnings—only the return of my deposits (CHF 805), as they confirmed I am entitled to.

Attached is the email from Hugo confirming their final decision.

I ask from security dept if anything is required for verification or anything ask me then I will give it to you but they say that your account is up to date and no need for any verification but still my withdrawal got cancelled. If their is option in this complain of pics then I will attach my everything of screen shot with this complain, chat with support security and app support staff, my English is not good if I made any mistake then please forgive it.

Dispute Assistance Request 22 BET

I am experiencing serious delays with my account verification and withdrawal process at 22Bet.

I first submitted my verification documents on May 5, 2026, including my ID documents requested by their Security Team. After receiving no confirmation or update, I sent follow-up emails and resubmitted the documents again on May 11, 2026. I also contacted live chat support multiple times.

Despite this, I still have not received:

- confirmation that my documents were received,
- any explanation regarding the delay,
- or any timeframe for completing verification and processing my withdrawal.

Live chat support only provides generic responses such as “the Security Team is reviewing your documents” without any actual progress or information.

It has now been 13 days since my first submission, which I consider unreasonable for a standard ID verification process.

I believe the company is intentionally delaying the verification and withdrawal procedure without proper communication.

I can provide:

- screenshots of submitted emails,
- screenshots of live chat conversations,
- and proof that documents were sent multiple times.

I kindly request AskGamblers to assist in resolving this issue and help ensure that 22Bet completes my verification and processes my withdrawal promptly.

Withdrawal pending since May 8th

Hi,

Would like to lodge a complaint where my withdrawal status was unappearing on 8th May'26.

After a few reports to the cust support, one said on the 14th it will solve the second said on the 16th.

This issue is not so difficult, where the operator can refund it to the main system, and I can withdraw it. But I don't know why the operator is making it like a difficult situation, and it is so frustrating.

Endless Verification Delays and Asking For Same Documents Over and Over

Hi

I tried lodging a complaint against this bookmaker but it was rejected and told to wait until the bookmaker finishes the process. I indeed waited 72 hours and the bookmaker responded by asking for documents I already sent. When I told them I already sent the documents they are asking for they send the same answer as before " your documents are sent to the specialist, wait for the answer ". I'd like to emphasize this is what they said 3 days ago when the documents were sent and now they're saying it again! Clearly this is some kind of delay tactic!, and I've had enough of this. It is now 4 days and my account is still not verified and everyday I'm getting frustrated with this bookmaker! I have sent every single document at my disposal to these. I would like askgamblers to intervene at this point because I'm being treated unfairly. My balance in my account is €520

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
