Rabona deliberately withholding balance via endless five month KYC stalling tactic

I am filing a formal complaint against Rabona (operated by Naale Limited, Licence 1020581) for the highly unacceptable and unjustified retention of my €2,687.97 withdrawal. My account verification and withdrawal have been pending since October 30, 2025. This is a deliberate 5 month delay orchestrated through abusive KYC practices.

Rabona compliance team has systematically moved the goalposts every time I have fulfilled their requirements. Their handling of my account demonstrates a clear intent to delay a legitimate payout indefinitely.

Phase 1: Exhaustive Verification Cleared

Initially, I was subjected to a grueling Proof of Identity and a highly intrusive Proof of Funds and Wealth verification process. I complied fully by compiling and submitting a massive file of over one hundred pages. This enormous file contained countless different financial documents proving my legitimate source of wealth. I successfully passed these stages, yet instead of releasing my funds, Rabona immediately shifted to obstructing my Proof of Address verification.

Phase 2: Manufactured Excuses for Document Rejection

To fulfill the Proof of Address requirement, I initially submitted plenty of different official documents to satisfy their requests. Because I reside in a corporate rental, I proactively provided a comprehensive file that included the highest legal proof of residence available in Spain (an official government issued Volante de Empadronamiento), along with my corporate lease, tenancy certificates, and utility bills. Rabona rejected this massive submission on a purely manufactured technicality by claiming it was declined solely because it was a "merged PDF."

Phase 3: The Current Deliberate Stall and Refusal to Verify

Following their exact instructions, I immediately uploaded the single, unmerged, original Volante de Empadronamiento PDF directly downloaded from the Barcelona City Hall portal, complete with the government Secure Verification Code (CSV).

Now that they have the exact document they demanded, in the exact format they requested, and have absolutely no valid excuses left to reject it, they have simply stopped reviewing my account entirely.

- The official government document has been sitting indefinitely in Pending status for weeks.
- They are completely ignoring my direct emails.
- They missed a formal deadline I provided to resolve this issue.

Resolution Demanded:
This 5 month delay is a predatory abuse of the KYC process. I have successfully verified this exact same document with highly regulated European operators. Rabona must immediately review and approve the original PDF currently sitting in my profile, update my registered address, and process my €2,687.97 withdrawal without any further manufactured delays.

Dear AskGamblers Complaint Team,

As of today, I have received absolutely no communication or updates from their team. My official Proof of Address document is still being held in the "Under review" status on my profile, and my account remains completely blocked from making withdrawals.

Thank you for your time and continued assistance.

Best regards,

On August 23 I requested a withdrawal of 2,000 PLN
I am experiencing a significant delay with my withdrawal from Rabona Casino.
On August 23, 2026, I requested a withdrawal of 2,000 PLN via Ethereum. The withdrawal is still pending and has remained under verification despite the fact that more than the stated processing time has passed.
I contacted Rabona Live Chat regarding the delay. Their representative confirmed to me that they strive to process withdrawal requests within 3 business days, starting from the day after the request is made, excluding weekends.
I specifically asked whether there were any KYC, verification or account issues preventing my withdrawal from being processed. Rabona support confirmed that verification is currently not required and that, if verification becomes necessary, the Finance Department will contact me.
I also requested that my delayed withdrawal be escalated for priority processing. Support informed me that they are unable to expedite withdrawals, but confirmed that their Finance Department is already aware of my situation and is actively working on the transaction. However, they have not provided me with any specific reason for the delay or an estimated completion date.
I currently also have another withdrawal request for 2,000 PLN via Ethereum submitted on September 1, 2026. I understand that this second withdrawal is new and I am not claiming that it is currently delayed. I am mentioning it only to provide a complete and transparent picture of my pending withdrawals.
I am requesting that Rabona process my overdue 2,000 PLN withdrawal from August 23 as soon as possible and provide a clear explanation for why it has exceeded their stated processing timeframe.
I can provide screenshots showing the withdrawal status and my conversation with Rabona Live Chat confirming the 3-business-day timeframe, that verification is not currently required, and that the Finance Department is handling my withdrawal.

Rabona Casino - Delayed payment

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I would like to file a complaint regarding my pending withdrawals and the excessively long verification process at Rabona.

After successfully placing bets, I accumulated winnings of approximately 600,000 HUF and requested withdrawals in three separate transactions.

Shortly after my win, my account was restricted. My betting limits were significantly reduced, and my withdrawal requests remained pending.

Approximately two weeks later, Rabona initiated a KYC verification process. Since then, I have fully cooperated and submitted every document requested, including identity documents, proof of address, bank statements, and additional documents related to my payment method.

Most recently, Rabona requested transaction history for the bank account linked to my Apple Pay account for a specific period. I provided an official bank-generated PDF statement downloaded directly from my online banking system. I have submitted this document more than once.

The main issue is that I have received contradictory information from customer support. One representative informed me that everything was in order and my verification was still under review. Another representative stated that my PDF document had been rejected. Later, I was told that this information was incorrect and that the document had not been rejected. Afterwards, I was again informed that the document had been rejected.

At the same time, the verification section of my account displays a general message stating that documents are required, but it does not specify which document is needed and provides no option to upload anything. Customer support also informed me that if no document request appears in my account, I do not need to submit any further documents.

My withdrawal requests have been pending since May 6, and I have still not received a clear explanation, a final verification result, or my withdrawals.

I have complied with every request made by Rabona and submitted all requested documentation. I am therefore asking for your assistance in reviewing this matter and helping to obtain a clear resolution.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
