Complaint #75 Melbet Sportsbook

Unjustified confiscation of 160000 DZD deposit account 1577147901

By Brahim_213

4 months ago

am reporting the illegal confiscation of a 160,000 DZD cash deposit made on March 6th, 2026 (Transaction ID: 20331502307).
The deposit was successful and appeared in my balance, but was manually removed later. I have a screen recording from inside my account proving the transaction. Furthermore, Melbet support agents have provided contradictory and false information:
Agent Lutfi admitted to a 'manual deduction' claiming it was sent by mistake.
Agent Lola claimed it was a BaridiMob issue from February, which is false as my deposit was CASH in March.
Agent Henry claimed the money was sent back, which never happened.
I demand the immediate return of my 160,000 DZD. I have all the screenshots of these conflicting statements and the video proof of the deposit."

Dear Mediator,
More than 72 hours have passed and Melbet has completely failed to provide my 160,000 DZD or honor their own deadline, despite explicitly admitting to a "system error" on their part.
I request the mediator to step in immediately, hold Melbet accountable for their own admissions, and force them to transfer my 160,000 DZD without any further delays.

Dear Mediator,
Melbet has just sent another private email (signed by "Leo") containing a shocking admission. They now claim that their security department noticed a "system error" regarding a 40,000 vs 200,000 deposit, and they intentionally deducted/withheld my 160,000 DZD to correct their own internal mistake!
This completely destroys their previous false claim that I "lost the money on bets." They are now openly admitting to seizing my 160,000 DZD due to their own system glitches.
I request the mediator to order Melbet to immediately return my 160,000 DZD to my account, as they have fully admitted to wrongfully holding it.

Dear Mediator,
As requested by Melbet to provide better quality files for my inquiry (20286270), I have immediately uploaded a clear screenshot of my bank account showing a balance of 0, proving beyond a doubt that the 160,000 DZD was never received.
Today, August 5th, is their stated deadline for this inquiry. I expect them to stop stalling, honor their deadline today, and process my full payout immediately.

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.

Withdraw declined and option to withdraw using same method as deposit absent

Ive been trying to withdraw ₱1300, but i kept getting "declined by operator," and the reason was "payment processing error"

at first, i thought it was because i had an active accumulator bet ongoing, but even after it ended, i still could not withdraw. Another thing was that the method i use to depost (gcash direct), is not available/ nowhere to be found in the withdraw options, and the full gcash option was grayed out, so i tried to use another method (via banktransfer and another Ewallet) but i got the error message that i cannot use other methods to withdraw over the method i use to deposit.

Ive tried to withdraw for the last 2 days. Occasionally, the option for GCash Direct would appear in the withdrawal methods, and i would request to withdraw, but every time without fail, it gets rejected by an operator, with the same reason of payment processing error. I tried to see if i had any bonuses used, but other than the standard accumulator booster, nothing else.

The amount changes in the attached screenshot because, before ₱1300, I had an accumulator bet and won it, from ₱900~ to ₱1500~; then I made two accumulator bets at ₱100+ each, therefore the ₱1300 remaining, which I had intended to withdraw

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.

Withdrawal delays and conflicting instructions

I am filing this formal complaint against Melbet due to a systematic delay and conflicting instructions regarding my withdrawal of 184.44 EUR (Account ID: < sent to the casino >). This issue has been ongoing for more than 20 days.

**Timeline of the Issue:**

1. **Initial Block (Early May):** My original withdrawal method (Neteller) was suddenly removed. Support instructed me to deposit via **Tether on Tron (USDT)** to enable a new withdrawal path. I followed this and wagered the full amount as required.

2. **Security Obstacles:** After enabling USDT, they blocked my withdrawals again for "Security Verification". I sent all requested documents (ID + Selfie with handwritten date) to [email protected] on May 19th. It has been over 48 hours with NO response.

3. **Conflicting Instructions:** On May 21st, support agent 'Eva' specifically told me to submit a withdrawal request. I did, but the processing team rejected it within minutes for "Proportion of deposits". This proves a lack of coordination and intentional stalling.

4. **Account Status:** I am a legitimate user with one profile and two currency wallets (EUR/MAD), a standard feature in the Melbet app. I have fulfilled every single requirement asked of me for the past 3 weeks.

I request Melbet to stop the stalling tactics and immediately approve my withdrawal of 184.44 EUR to my USDT-TRC20 address.

Melbet blocks my withdrawal by SMS verification code never received

Melbet asks for an SMS verification code for every withdrawal request, but I never receive the code.
I have already done the following:
• Factory reset (full format) of my phone
• Verified there is no SMS blocking from my operator or in the phone settings
• Cleared the app and browser cache and restarted the phone several times
I have made no changes to my account at all. My account is fully verified, all required information is completed and correct.
Despite this, the customer support has been telling me to “wait” for more than 72 hours without providing any real solution. Every time I contact them, they dismiss me and give no concrete help.
This is clearly a problem on Melbet’s side. I am unable to withdraw my funds because of this abusive SMS verification issue.
I demand an immediate solution: either disable the SMS verification for my account or process the withdrawal manually.

MTN MoMo withdrawal blocked Benin

My Melbet account ID: [mets ton ID Melbet ici]

Bet ID: < sent to the casino >

Country: Benin

Phone number: [ton numéro MTN complet]

I deposited 500, 200 and 1,200 F CFA via MTN MoMo.

I won 6,120 F CFA on bet ID 1449387771.

My profile is fully verified (phone number linked + identity document sent and approved).

The MTN MoMo withdrawal button is greyed out and shows this message: "You must withdraw using the same method as the deposit".

I DID deposit with MTN MoMo (screenshot attached).

I tested on a friend's phone: the button becomes grey ONLY when I log in with MY account. On other accounts it works normally. This proves it's not a general technical problem in Benin.

Support first said it was a "technical problem in Benin", then asked me to make a new deposit via WebMoney + bet on odds 1.1 to unlock MTN. This condition is not written in the rules and I refuse it.

This has been going on for more than 2 weeks.

I request the immediate unlocking of MTN MoMo withdrawal or a clear written explanation of the exact reason for the block according to your rules.
