I won a few thousand lari and tried to withdraw, and they said I need to send in documents. I emailed their support multiple times asking what i need to send in and they rarely responded to me. It's now been 11 days since the first email and all they say is they are looking into to. I sent exactly what they wanted, exactly where they wanted and they are refusing to respond to my emails or cash me out. Included is various screenshots of our discussions, I can send more if wanted.

Dear @Elsun,

I would like to clarify that account verification is not a form of fraud — it is an essential security requirement designed to protect your funds and your account.

Please remain patient, follow the instructions provided to you, and continue cooperating with the Security Department.

Doing so will help speed up the verification process.

Thank you for your understanding!

I am now using Gmail and their staff are asking for thing after thing and being rude and difficult to speak with, constantly complaining instead of stopping this scam of my money.

Hello @Elsun,

I understand your frustration. However, I would like to point out that we are not responsible for the performance of the Outlook email service, nor do we have the ability to influence its operation.

For this reason, we strongly recommend using an email address with the Gmail domain. Gmail works more reliably, and using it will help improve communication and speed up the verification process.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Delayed deposit for over a month
I am submitting this complaint because Melbet has failed to credit my deposit despite repeated attempts to resolve the matter through their customer support.

On 16/06/2026, I deposited 100,000 RWF into my Melbet account (Account No. 236633967). The payment was successfully processed from my payment account, but the funds were never credited to my Melbet balance.

The following day, I opened a payment enquiry (Ticket No. 18269277). I was informed that the issue would be resolved within 3 days. However, more than one month has now passed, and my deposit is still missing.

Instead of resolving the issue, Melbet closed my ticket and instructed me to contact their support by email, quoting the enquiry number. I followed those instructions and contacted their support, but I have still not received any meaningful assistance or a resolution. I have repeatedly reached out, yet I continue to receive delays and no clear explanation regarding the whereabouts of my money.

As a customer, I find this treatment extremely disappointing. Having a successful deposit disappear without being credited or refunded for over a month has caused me to lose confidence in the platform. At this stage, I genuinely feel that I am being treated unfairly and that my funds are being withheld without justification, which gives me the impression that I may be being scammed.

I respectfully request that AskGamblers assist in mediating this dispute and encourage Melbet to either:

Credit the missing 100,000 RWF to my Melbet account immediately, or
Refund the full amount if the deposit cannot be processed.

I can provide payment confirmation, transaction details, screenshots of my communication with Melbet, and any other evidence required to support my complaint.

Thank you for your assistance.

Melbet Casino - Problems with account and withdrawal

Dear Melbet Support,

I have made several attempts to contact your support team over the past 72 hours by phone, but unfortunately I have not received any assistance regarding the withdrawal of my funds to my Binance account.

My Melbet ID is < sent to the casino >

According to the information on your platform, withdrawals can only be made using the same payment method that was used for the first deposit. I have only ever made deposits through my Binance ID, and in the past I was able to receive withdrawals back to this same Binance account without any issues.

However, after not using my account for several months, I recently tried to withdraw my funds again, but the withdrawal is now no longer possible. I do not understand why this has suddenly changed.

My Binance ID is < removed due to the privacy >, and I would like to receive all of my available funds back to this Binance account as soon as possible.

I also contacted your Live Customer Support several times. After my third attempt, I was informed that I was considered to be spamming, and my access to the live chat was blocked. Since then, the Live Customer Support has shown as "Unavailable", preventing me from contacting your support team altogether. I find this very unprofessional, especially since I am simply trying to access my own funds. Naturally, this situation makes me very concerned about how I will be be able to withdraw my money.

For your reference, I have attached two screenshots.

In the first screenshot, you can clearly see that the Customer Service option is showing as "Unavailable", meaning I can no longer contact Live Support.

In the second screenshot, you can see that the Binance ID withdrawal option is suddenly greyed out. This was never the case before. Previously, I was always able to withdraw my funds back to my Binance ID without any issues. In fact, all of the available withdrawal methods are now greyed out, which is very unusual.

I kindly request that you:

Restore my access to Live Customer Support.

Explain why withdrawals to my Binance account are no longer possible.

Investigate why all withdrawal methods have become unavailable.

Process my withdrawal to my original Binance account (Binance ID: < removes due to the privacy >) or provide a clear alternative solution so I can access my funds.

Could you please investigate this matter and resolve it as soon as possible? I would greatly appreciate having my withdrawal options restored so I can withdraw my funds to my original Binance account.

I look forward to your prompt response, as this issue has now been ongoing for several days.

Casino withholding 30000 INR deposit despite Bank Statement and Ledger showing successful debit

Player ID: 877961265

Transaction Amount: 30,000 INR

Transaction Date & Time: 21 May 2026, 09:41 PM

UTR / UPI Ref No: 206672981287

Statement of Facts:

I am filing this urgent complaint against Melbet for withholding my hard-earned money of 30,000 INR, which I deposited on 21 May 2026. For the past 15 days, I have been running from pillar to post, completely helpless. I raised an internal dispute with Melbet (Query No. 17132819), but their team does nothing but send robotic automated responses on email and chat. They are completely refusing to listen to my issue or look at my proof. This is a clear case of fraud.

I want to clarify a manual mistake I made on the Melbet app due to the panic and confusion caused by this situation:

The Mistake on App: On 21 May, I initially tried a transaction at 21:40. When the funds didn't arrive, I got confused and stressed. At 21:44, while submitting another deposit request on the app interface, I mistakenly typed '3,000 INR' instead of 30,000 INR in the amount box.

The Absolute Reality: This was just a typing error on the app. In reality, my official bank account statement and Paytm green-tick receipt clearly prove that I had already successfully sent exactly 30,000 INR at 09:41 PM under UTR number 206672981287 to their merchant "Tahir Ayoub".

Bank Verification: I have physically gone to my bank branch and obtained an official, stamped Account Ledger Inquiry. The bank ledger legally confirms that the full ₹30,000 INR left my account successfully and has been settled at the merchant's gateway.

Conclusion & Direct Request to AskGamblers:

This is my hard-earned money, and Melbet is trying to steal it by using my manual typing error and sending robotic replies as an excuse. I am providing absolute, stamped bank proof here. If a globally trusted platform like AskGamblers cannot protect players from such open fraud and verify genuine cases despite official bank stamps, then there is no use for these portals for common users.

Please look into my pain, intervene immediately, and help me recover my money from Melbet. I have attached all the authentic proofs.

Verification process keeps being extend to delay or avoid the withdrawal

At the beginning, there were no issues. I won, and I lost a few times, and whenever I made a small profit and withdrew it, everything worked fine. However, on April 28, I had a big win, and my balance reached $1,489. I wanted to withdraw it, but when I pressed the withdrawal button, I received a message saying: “Send documents to [email protected].” This happened on April 28, almost a month ago.

1). I sent my passport without any problems.

2). Then they asked for uncropped screenshots of my personal profile and screenshots from the app/website showing my crypto deposits, and the transaction details of those deposits. I provided these multiple times, but whenever I asked for feedback about what exactly was wrong, they kept responding with: “All consulting on the matter of your request was provided earlier in this mail thread.” So no feedback at all. And yes, my screenshots were all uncropped, 1920x1080, including the taskbar. '

After going back and forth from April 28 until May 17 (almost three weeks) they finally clarified that they needed screenshots of all four deposits I had ever made. I then sent the screenshots together with the blockchain URLs, and that part was finally approved.

3). Now they asked: You should make a selfie, holding your document near your face. Also, next to you should be the computer (or mobile device) where we can see your inbox messages from the security department (this mailing). Which I did as well.

4) After sending all of that, they said okay, the specialist is looking into it, and I would hear back. After 2 days, I didn't hear anything yet, so I went into live chat, and they said it can take up to 72 hours before a response. Just before the 72-hour mark,, they emailed again asking me for a utility bill (PDF) for the last month. I sent it directly.

They responded again: The specialist will look into it.

Now I thought I was finally done, almost 2 days later: can we see your driver's license? I don't even have a driver's license, but I'm sure if I did have a driver's license and it got approved, that I need to send something different again in a few days, it's going on from April 28, and it's now May 25 when they asked for the driver's license.

So I did send all important documents + utility bill and transaction proof, which were all approved.

I just want to withdraw all my money, that's it. I don't even care about playing there anymore.
