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.

Resolved: I have successfully received my funds (205.6 USDT) in my Binance account. The issue was resolved after the security team's manual intervention. Thank you AskGamblers for your support in this case. You can now close the complaint as resolved.

Urgent Update: This is getting ridiculous. The security team sent me an email at 18:37 asking me to log out and make a new withdrawal request. I followed their instructions exactly (logged out, cleared cache, and made a new request at 18:51), yet it was REJECTED IMMEDIATELY by the system. This proves that Melbet is providing false instructions and has no intention of paying me. I request AskGamblers to take strict action as they are clearly playing games with me.

I did exactly what you asked (logged out, cleared cache, and made a new request), but it was rejected INSTANTLY. Your system is still blocked. Why are you giving me false instructions? Fix this manually right now. I have already updated my complaint on AskGamblers with screenshots of your failed instructions.

Since 7 October 2026, I have been unable to withdraw any money from my Melbet account
Dear AskGamblers Complaints Team,

I am submitting this formal complaint against Melbet Sportsbook regarding its continued failure to provide a functioning withdrawal method for my account.

Melbet Account ID: 1251309861
Country: CĂ´te d'Ivoire
Problem started: 7 October 2026
Date of complaint: 20 October 2026

Since 7 October 2026, I have been unable to withdraw any money from my Melbet account. For approximately 13 days, all withdrawal methods have remained unavailable or nonfunctional, while deposit options continue to be offered.

What makes this situation particularly frustrating is Melbet's lack of communication.

I have sent several emails to Melbet using multiple available customer support email addresses, repeatedly explaining my withdrawal problem and requesting assistance.

Unfortunately, despite my numerous emails and attempts to contact them, I have not received a single reply or satisfactory explanation from Melbet as of today, 20 October 2026.

I find it extremely concerning that customers can continue depositing money while being unable to access their existing balances, especially when customer support fails to respond to repeated complaints.

I am not even requesting to withdraw my entire balance immediately. I simply want to be able to withdraw at least part of my available funds.

I therefore respectfully request AskGamblers to intervene and ask Melbet to:

1. Restore a working withdrawal method to my account without further unnecessary delay.
2. Allow me to withdraw at least part of my available balance.
3. If regular withdrawal methods remain unavailable, provide me with an officially authorized and verified TeamCash agent capable of processing my withdrawal securely, if Melbet supports this payment method.
4. Confirm the identity and authorization of any proposed TeamCash agent through official Melbet communication channels.
5. Explain why deposits remain available while withdrawals are disabled.
6. Explain why my repeated emails to customer support have gone unanswered.
7. Provide a definite timeline for resolving this issue.

I have been patient since 7 October, but the continued inability to withdraw my funds, combined with the complete lack of response to my emails, has left me with no choice but to seek assistance from AskGamblers.

I am prepared to provide screenshots of my account balance, withdrawal page, deposit options and copies of the emails I have sent to Melbet.

I respectfully ask AskGamblers to contact Melbet on my behalf and help me obtain access to my funds as soon as possible.

I only want to withdraw 400 000 CFA for now.

Thank you for your time, understanding and assistance.

Kind regards,

All withdrawal methods unavailable

Hello,

I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding my Melbet Côte d’Ivoire account, operated locally by COASTWIN SARLU.

Since 7 October 2026, I have been unable to withdraw funds from my Melbet account.

At the beginning of the issue, the main Mobile Money withdrawal methods available in Côte d’Ivoire, including MTN Money, Orange Money, Moov Money and Wave, were still visible in the application but were greyed out. When I tried to use them, the platform displayed a message stating that the payment methods were temporarily unavailable for technical reasons.

I immediately contacted Melbet customer support. Their representatives confirmed several times, both in writing and during a telephone call, that this was a general technical issue affecting payment/transfer operators and that their technical team was working to resolve it.

I also received an email from Melbet customer support confirming that mobile payment methods were temporarily unavailable for technical reasons and asking me to try again later.

The situation has since become worse. When I now open the “Withdraw funds” section, no withdrawal method is displayed at all. Instead, the platform shows the message:

“No system available.”

This means that I currently have no way to submit a withdrawal request.

Before this incident, Melbet Côte d’Ivoire displayed several withdrawal options, including Orange Money, Wave, MTN Money, Moov Money, and other payment methods. The platform also normally displays estimated processing times for these methods.

I have already sent a formal follow-up email to Melbet asking them to provide: an estimated timeframe for restoring withdrawal services; the reference number of the technical incident; an alternative withdrawal method; and written confirmation that the funds in my account remain fully available for withdrawal.

So far, I have not been provided with a working withdrawal solution.

I would also like to clarify that Melbet has not informed me of any KYC issue, security investigation, violation of their Terms and Conditions, suspicious activity, account restriction, or personal limitation affecting my account. Their official explanation has consistently been that this is a general technical problem involving payment providers.

Melbet’s own Terms and Conditions also state that withdrawal requests are processed 24 hours a day and that, where withdrawal through payment systems is refused or unavailable, Melbet may propose a bank transfer as an alternative.

I therefore respectfully request AskGamblers’ assistance in asking Melbet to: restore at least one functional withdrawal method on my account; alternatively, provide a working withdrawal method such as a bank transfer; confirm that my entire available balance remains withdrawable; provide a clear timeframe for resolving the technical issue.

I am attaching supporting evidence, including screenshots showing the Mobile Money methods greyed out, the current “No system available” message, emails and chat messages from Melbet confirming the technical problem, and screenshots showing the payment methods normally available on the Melbet Côte d’Ivoire platform.

My Melbet account ID: 1129526857

Country: Côte d’Ivoire

Amount I am currently trying to withdraw: 319,338 XOF (FCFA)

Preferred withdrawal methods: Orange Money, Wave, or MTN Money

I would appreciate AskGamblers’ assistance in helping me obtain access to my funds and a functional withdrawal method.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Withdrawal delayed and verification issues

Subject: Melbet - Unresolved Withdrawal of 8,000 MAD (Account ID: 1811069687) - Case #23053672

To the Mediation Team / AskGamblers Support,

I am submitting this formal complaint against Melbet regarding a delayed and withheld withdrawal of 8,000 MAD originating from my player account ID 1811069687.

Case Details & Timeline:

Complaint ID: #23053672.

Issue Date: The withdrawal request was placed on September 29, 2026.

Amount Involved: 8,000 MAD.

Current Status: Despite fully completing all mandatory account verification steps and providing all requested documents, the funds have still not been credited to my bank account or payment method as of today.

Support Experience & Lack of Transparency:

I have contacted Melbet's customer support multiple times (via live chat and email), interacting with various agents including an operator named "Carine". Throughout these interactions, the support team has provided contradictory statements—initially claiming the payment was completed and blaming the bank, then retracting statements as errors, and ultimately telling me to "wait indefinitely" without providing any valid transaction ID (ARN), proof of transfer, or concrete resolution.

I have attached all necessary evidentiary documents, including screenshots of my transaction history and logs, proving that no such funds have ever arrived.

I kindly request your intervention to compel Melbet to either release the 8,000 MAD immediately or provide an official, verifiable transaction reference (ARN) so I can trace these funds.

Thank you for your assistance and prompt support.

Regards,

< full name removed >

50 USDT RedotPay withdrawal stuck
Player ID: 1384900371
On 03/10/2026 at approx. 00:10 I requested a withdrawal of 50 USDT via RedotPay.
Melbet marked it as “Completed” and issued internal order ID TIS20261003125234592638607.
I contacted RedotPay support. They confirmed in writing:
• The TIS number is an internal RedotPay transfer (not on-chain)
• There is no blockchain TxID
• The security review on their side was already approved
• The sender (Melbet) must check their own RedotPay transfer record
The 50 USDT never arrived in my RedotPay account.
I opened ticket 23223332 on 03/10/2026.
After several days of delays (“waiting for payment provider”, “finance specialists working”), the ticket status changed to “Clarification data” on 06/10/2026.
Melbet is now demanding:
• An account statement in PDF format from the transaction date to now, or
• An official letter from the bank (or payment organization) bearing its stamp
I have repeatedly explained that this was a RedotPay transfer and no bank was involved. I submitted:
• Melbet’s own completion receipt
• RedotPay’s official support confirmation
• My RedotPay transaction history showing no 50 USDT deposit was ever credited
Despite this, support continues to refuse to process the ticket and states they “cannot help” without the bank/PDF documents. They have also refused escalation.
I request AskGamblers’ assistance so that Melbet either:
1. Releases the 50 USDT to my RedotPay account, or
2. Returns the full amount to my Melbet balance
All relevant screenshots are available and can be provided.

Unable to withdraw because all available withdrawal methods are blocked

I am having a serious withdrawal issue with my MelBet account.

My account has funds available, but I am currently unable to make a withdrawal.

When I open the withdrawal section, most of the available withdrawal methods, including Vodafone Cash, InstaPay, Etisalat Cash, Orange Cash, Telda, and WePay, are locked/unavailable.

WebMoney is the only withdrawal method that appears to be available. However, when I select WebMoney and confirm the withdrawal, the system rejects the request and displays a message stating that withdrawals will only be approved when they are made using the same payment method that was used for the deposit.

The problem is that the other payment methods suggested by the system are also locked, so I have no functional withdrawal method available to me.

I have contacted MelBet support regarding this issue, but the problem has not been resolved.

I am not asking MelBet to process my withdrawal through an unrelated payment method. I am asking them to provide me with a valid and functional withdrawal method that is actually available on my account, or to fix the WebMoney withdrawal option if it is supposed to be available.

My request: Please ask MelBet to investigate the withdrawal restrictions on my account and restore a working withdrawal method so that I can withdraw my available funds.

I can provide screenshots showing the locked withdrawal methods and the error message displayed when I attempt to withdraw through WebMoney.

Thank you
