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.

Account withdrawal blocked

I am submitting this official complaint against 22Bet due to a systemic technical loop on their platform that prevents me from withdrawing my funds. The platform's automated security protocols demand that I withdraw using the exact method I used to deposit. However, the system simultaneously blocks or removes the availability of these specific methods, creating an unresolvable technical paradox.

Timeline of Events:

1. On July 5, 2026, I deposited €200 into my account using Neteller. Immediately following the deposit, the option to withdraw funds via Neteller completely vanished from my dashboard.

2. I contacted Neteller Support. On July 8, 2026, Neteller officially confirmed to me in writing that their service is fully operational and that the restriction exists solely on 22Bet’s side. I forwarded this official confirmation to 22Bet Support.

3. To bypass this, I was instructed to establish an alternative payment channel. I deposited additional funds using Skrill. When I attempted to request a withdrawal via Skrill, the platform rejected the request with the following error message: "Please make your withdrawal request using the same details used for a previous withdrawal."

4. On July 16, 2026, 22Bet VIP Manager (Zackary Turborg) admitted via email that "Skrill payment method is not available at this moment." Yet, on July 17, 2026, the casino shifted blame, falsely claiming that Skrill themselves rejected the transaction.

5. I have been placed in a cc'd email chain involving Neteller and 22Bet, where 22Bet's backend team explicitly admitted the issue is on their side but refused to provide further details or a resolution to Neteller's technical agents.

The core issue is that 22Bet is holding my funds hostage within an artificial loop. They mandate a deposit-matching withdrawal method while manually turning off those very gateways on their site. They refuse to grant a manual financial override or process my withdrawal via a standard alternative method (such as Direct Bank Transfer).

I request that AskGamblers mediate this case to force 22Bet to perform a manual payout of my entire balance.

Withdrawal declined by the Operator

Subject: 22Bet Withdrawal Rejected with "Declined by Operator" – No Alternative Withdrawal Method Available


Dear AskGamblers Team,


I would like to file a complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal issue with 22Bet.


22Bet Account ID: < removed and sent to the casino >


I have been trying to withdraw my funds from my 22Bet account, but every withdrawal attempt is rejected with the message "Declined by operator."


The main problem is that 22Bet only allows me to withdraw using the same payment channel that I used for my deposits. Unfortunately, that payment channel is currently not working, and the website does not allow me to choose any alternative withdrawal method.


I contacted 22Bet customer support several times, but my issue has still not been resolved. I asked whether my withdrawal channel could be changed or whether another verified payment method could be enabled, but I am still unable to access my funds.


I have made multiple withdrawal attempts, and each one has failed because of the same "Declined by operator" error. Since I cannot select another withdrawal method, I have no way to receive my money.


I respectfully request AskGamblers to help mediate this case and ask 22Bet to:


1. Explain the exact reason for the repeated "Declined by operator" error.

2. Process my withdrawal successfully through the existing payment channel if possible, or

3. Allow me to withdraw through another verified payment method if the original channel is unavailable.


I am willing to provide screenshots of the withdrawal error, my withdrawal history, and my conversations with 22Bet customer support if needed.


Thank you for your time and assistance. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.


Sincerely,
