Deposit refund issue

Hi,

I am writing to you because I registered on 1red to place sports bets but I have not been able to place a single bet: all my bets, pre-match or live, are systematically refused, even for €1.

So I requested a withdrawal after successfully completing the validation steps.

However, the bookmaker refuses to pay me because I have not played 3 times the amount of my deposit, which I cannot do since he has blocked my bets.

He tells me that I can play on the casino but I did not register for that at all: it is not fair of them.

I accept that he does not let me bet but the least he can do is that in exchange he gives me my money back.

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Best regards

Missing deposits and refusal to reconcile technical failure

Casino Name: 1Red.com

Disputed Amount: 41.00 EUR (Account Balance: 8.00 EUR | Expected: 49.00 EUR)

Payment Method: MyPaysafecard

Detailed Description:

I am filing this complaint against 1Red.com regarding two deposits made on February 28, 2026 (20.00 EUR and 21.00 EUR). Both transactions were successfully deducted from my wallet, but never credited to my balance.

1. Evidence of Casino-Side Failure (The Control Test):

To confirm this was not a client-side (browser) or provider issue, I performed a successful deposit at a different casino immediately following these failures.

Same Provider: MyPaysafecard.

Same Browser: Firefox 139.0.4 (Linux Mint).

Same Timeframe: Within an hour of the failed 1Red attempts.

The other casino (using the Chain Valley gateway) handled the redirect perfectly. This proves that the funds are stuck at 1Red solely due to a handshake/API failure on their specific platform.

2. Historical Success vs. Current Regression:

I successfully used this exact setup at 1Red in October 2025. The current failure suggests 1Red has not updated its payment callback scripts to be compatible with Firefox 139.x security headers, resulting in a "X-Frame-Options" block during the redirect back to the casino.

3. Dismissive Customer Service:

Despite providing Transaction IDs, 1Red support refused to investigate, claiming they have "no influence." As the merchant, they are the only party able to use the Paysafe Merchant Reporting Tool (MRT) to reconcile these missing funds.

Desired Outcome:

A manual reconciliation of the provided IDs and a credit of 41.00 EUR to bring my balance to the correct 49.00 EUR.

Refund declined 2900 pounds

I am submitting this complaint due to an unreasonably long and unjustified delay in processing my refund/withdrawal, despite full cooperation and submission of all requested documents.

My account was closed, and since October–November 2025 I have been trying to receive my refund. For over one month, the casino has continuously delayed the process without providing any clear reason or timeline.

Throughout this period:

I contacted support almost daily.

I received only automated-style replies such as “your case is under review”, “forwarded to another department”, “please wait”.

No concrete answers, deadlines, or explanations were provided.

Verification & Documents:

I fully completed KYC verification.

I provided all requested personal details (name, date of birth, address, phone number, payment methods, games played).

I submitted an official card confirmation document from Revolut, clearly showing my account and card ownership.

The casino repeatedly rejected the same document without clearly explaining what exactly is missing, while also failing to offer an alternative acceptable solution.

I was asked multiple times to re-upload or re-confirm information already provided.

Additional issues:

The casino delayed providing my GDPR-requested chat history and only supplied it after weeks of reminders.

Support communication was inconsistent and dismissive, often ignoring direct questions.

At no point was I informed of any rule violation, fraud, or legitimate reason for withholding my funds.

Despite complying with everything requested, my refund is still not processed as of today.

Why this complaint is justified:

Excessive delay (over one month) with no valid explanation.

Repeated stalling tactics and vague responses.

Unreasonable document rejection without clear standards.

Failure to process a legitimate refund after account closure.

Emotional distress caused by the prolonged withholding of my funds.

What I am requesting:

I respectfully ask AskGamblers to assist in:

Ensuring my refund is processed immediately, or

Forcing the casino to provide a clear, documented legal reason for withholding my funds.

I am ready to provide all email correspondence, documents, and proof upon request.

Casino is not processing withdrawal requests once again

Hi everyone,

I played on 1Red at the end of last year and was pretty lucky. managed to make a few 5-figure wins. The payout process started out terribly back then, but worked out in the end with a decent delay (and thanks to AskGamblers' help, in my complaint).

Now I wanted to play online again.

I deposited €50 on July 15, 2025, and played my balance up to €5557.55.

I tried to withdraw €4000 on July 16, 2025. This was rejected as the daily limit is now 1k, the monthly limit is 10k. Apparently, my on-site level is not high enough, and live games (BlackJack, for example) do not contribute to level up.

So I tried to withdraw 1k instead.

Since then, it's been on "pending," and it doesn't seem to be paid out easily.

Although their own ToS says they will pay out within 48 hours.... they don't!

The funniest thing is, when they pay out my 1k, I have to wait 24 hours before I can make another withdrawal (and then I can wait 48+ hours for that one, and so on. So I may well be waiting almost a month for my 5k balance).

This is super misleading from their site. In the meantime, I set myself a loss limit of 1€ on the site, so that I dont gamble it away, cause that's what these guys want!

My account is fully verified, and big withdrawals have been made in the past as well. I didn't use a new payment method, and the one I used is fully verified.

The Support (even VIP Support) is no help at all. I just get the same copy-paste answers all the time.
