Complaint #94 Melbet Sportsbook

Verification process keeps being extend to delay or avoid the withdrawal

By Juan Carlos R.

1 month ago

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 security@melbet.com.” 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.

Nothing, they don't give me any feedback. I send them actually what they asked for: a screenshot of the app of the cell operator with the data / my number and name creatly visible.

But they keep saying: "Please pay attention to the requirements of the Security Department, otherwise further actions are impossible."

While I send exactly what they asked for.

I'm also wondering how much more I need to send after this.
- First they asked for my passport:
I send it and that part was verified

- Then they asked for my crypto transaction app + screenshots
I send it and that part was verified

- Then they asked for a selfie with my passport next to the face and their security email open on the laptop.
I send it and that part was verified

- Then they asked for an utility bill.
I send it and that part was verified

Everytime if I send something and got verified, they ask for more.
At one point you would say enough is enough.

I only want the money, then the chapter is closed for me.

Dear juancrmorales90,

Could you please let us know if you have received a new notification from our security department after verifying your phone number, or is there still no update?

Dear Melbet,

Unfortunately, it has gotten worse.

Support asked me for this:
"Dear customer, please provide us with screenshot from cell operator app confirming the owner of the phone number **2477, Data must be provided regardless of who the owner is."

Which is no problem at all. So I send them a screenshot of the movistar app, providing my full phone number which i'm registered with (ending on *2477), it shows the full screen and it includes my name.

As response I get back:
Please pay attention to the requirements of the Security Department, otherwise further actions are impossible.

So I asked them for feedback, but the only response I get back is:
The Security Department is waiting for the requested documents.

I asked them again for feedback, then they only reply with:
All consulting on the matter of your request was provided earlier in this mail thread.

But the only thing they asked for was a screenshot of the cell operator app, showing the full phone number + data. Which I already send them a few times. And I get no feedback back what is wrong with it.

I attached all files of this conversation as private in the attachment.

Best Regards,

Juan Carlos

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.

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.

Missing deposit

I was scammed by Melbet. I made a deposit using USDT Polygon on their platform, and since then my account has never been credited. I contacted customer support, and each time they opened an investigation, but in the end, after 41 days, I've run out of patience. So I want to file this complaint to request a refund.

Unjustified confiscation of 160000 DZD deposit account 1577147901

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."

Melbet Failing to Complete Verification Despite Full Document Submission

I have completed all required verification steps requested by Melbet, including submitting my national ID, utility bill, bank statement, selfie, and even participating in a video verification.

Despite fully complying, it has now been over 2 months without receiving any “visual code” or further instructions. The security department claims that a code was sent, but I have not received anything in my email or messages.

This unreasonable delay raises serious concerns about Melbet’s practices. It appears that the verification process is being intentionally delayed, and my funds are being withheld without valid justification.

I have contacted support multiple times but have not received any meaningful response or solution.

I kindly request AskGamblers to intervene and help resolve this issue so I can complete verification and access my funds.

This situation is highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

Authorization Failure

Title: Unable to Withdraw Funds – Authorization Failure

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I would like to file a complaint against Melbet

Id: 1285627715

My account is fully verified, and I currently have a balance in my account. For the past 20 days, I have been unable to withdraw my funds. The withdrawal page shows a blank screen with an "Authorization Failure" message, and no withdrawal methods are available.

Deposit methods are still visible and working, but withdrawal options are completely missing.

I have contacted Melbet support multiple times, and they replied that their specialists have not yet resolved the issue. Unfortunately, the problem is still ongoing, and I cannot access my funds.

I am requesting that AskGamblers help resolve this issue and assist me in withdrawing my balance.

I can provide screenshots of my account balance, the withdrawal page error, and the email communication with Melbet support if needed.

Thank you for your assistance.
