Account locked after big win


5 years ago
Account number: 185249041

Hi askgamblers, I am having a big problem with 22bet. They locked my account for verification, when it was already verified, and they did it right after I tried to cashout 5000€, but they will still let me deposit. They are obviously doing this to avoid paying me.

I have been playing on 22bet for a very long time now and have gambled 10's of thousands a month since I joined.

A few months ago I got blocked for documents request, I sent everything and my account was activated again.
Now I got up to 5000€ in the balance and my account was once again blocked for documentation requests.

The operator behind their security e-mail is always asking for repeated documentation, and I keep sending everything they ask for.
At this point it has been over 150 emails exchanged of me just sending document after document.
They have lied to me saying that if I sent a certain document my account would get verified, well, after I sent that document they just kept asking for more repeated pdfs and print screens.

At this point I am very angry because it has been 12 days with no access to my funds and what they are doing is obviously an attempt to not pay me.

I have sent them everything they could ask for. I have wasted multiple hours getting them everything, and they just keep unresponsive and do not verify my account.

Neteller screenshots? Sent that

Homebanking screenshots? Sent that

Printscreens of cards used for deposits? Sent that

Id? Sent that

Utillities bills? Sent that

Bank statements? Sent that

Also had to print 60 sheets of documents to sign to confirm that I had been aware of all the deposits made in the last few months. (Wasted 3-4 hours just signing and filling everything.

I have done all this and the operator just keeps not responding to anything and I don't have the guarantee that this process will be over at any time, but they have told me it was the last verification step and it was not the truth.

Obviosly they just do it when I win big, but I believe that this could just be a bad opearator and if this gets resolved I could give the casino a second chance.

I just ask for someone to look into it and get my account back to normal because this is just not acceptable and a casino as big as 22bet should pay their customers.

Proof attached.

Thank you

Withdrawal unresolved after I provided all documents they requested
I am requesting AskGamblers’ assistance regarding a serious and prolonged withdrawal issue with 22Bet.

At the beginning, withdrawals from my 22Bet account worked normally. Previous withdrawals were usually credited to my bank account within approximately 30–60 minutes.

Later, 22Bet requested additional account verification. I fully understood and respected this process and cooperated with every request. I provided all documents they requested, including identification documents and additional financial documentation.

After this verification, 22Bet successfully processed a large withdrawal from my account.

Not long afterwards, I submitted further withdrawal requests. From that point onward, the situation changed completely.

22Bet initiated another review, this time asking for information and documents concerning the Source of Funds used for my deposits and whether the activity could involve money laundering or other financial concerns.

Again, I cooperated fully and provided all requested information and supporting documents.

After approximately five days of waiting, my pending withdrawal requests were cancelled without any clear and specific explanation, and the funds were returned to my gaming balance.

I then submitted the withdrawals again.

Since then, I have received multiple different and sometimes contradictory explanations from 22Bet.

At different times, I was told:

* that my documents had been accepted for verification;
* that there were technical problems with the payment system;
* that there were specifically problems with SEPA withdrawals;
* that I should try an alternative withdrawal method;
* and later that alternative withdrawal methods were actually not possible because SEPA was the only method available for my account.

I was also informed that withdrawal processing times had “significantly increased” and that this was supposedly a widespread issue affecting the payment provider.

However, I am aware of other users who continue to receive withdrawals normally, which is why I repeatedly asked 22Bet whether there was any specific issue, restriction, review or problem affecting my individual account.

I did not receive a direct answer to that question.

On Friday, I submitted the withdrawals again. They went through the processing stage and were shown as approved. The status then stated that the transactions were waiting for confirmation from the payment system.

Despite being approved, the withdrawals were later cancelled after less than 24 hours and the funds were again returned to my gaming account.

I did not request these withdrawals to be cancelled. My intention is very simple: I want my legitimate account balance transferred to my bank account.

I submitted the withdrawals again, but I still have not received the funds.

Today is already the 11th day since I first started trying to withdraw this balance.

Until this issue started, my withdrawals normally arrived within 30–60 minutes. I have still not received a clear explanation as to why withdrawals that previously took less than one hour are now being quoted as taking 7–10 banking days, especially after they have already been processed and shown as approved.

I want to make clear that I fully respect legitimate KYC and AML procedures. I have cooperated with every verification request and provided all documentation requested from me.

I am not refusing verification and I am not asking to bypass any security process.

What I am asking for is a clear and specific explanation of:

1. whether my account and Source of Funds verification have been successfully completed;
2. whether there is any individual restriction or additional review affecting my account;
3. why previously approved withdrawals were cancelled;
4. why SEPA withdrawals now allegedly require 7–10 banking days when my previous withdrawals were processed within 30–60 minutes;
5. and most importantly, when and how my EUR 431,868.35 balance will actually be paid to my bank account.

I have tried repeatedly to resolve this directly with 22Bet, but I continue to receive general responses telling me to wait, without a clear status or concrete solution.

I would therefore appreciate AskGamblers’ assistance in contacting 22Bet and obtaining a clear and final resolution.

I can provide the complete email correspondence, screenshots of my player balance, screenshots showing unavailable or cancelled withdrawals, evidence of previous successful withdrawals, and all relevant transaction history.

Thank you for your assistance.

Account restriction and funds inaccessibility
I. Overview
I am writing to file a formal complaint against 22Bet regarding an unjustified account restriction placed on my account ([1613718153]) shortly after my registration and initial deposit.
II. Sequence of Events
Registration & Deposit: On [27/03/2026], I created my account and successfully made my very first deposit of [1000 INR by icashone].
The Issue: Within a few hours of my deposit, I attempted to place bets but found my account restricted. The platform displays a persistent error message stating: "currency=0" and "game not available."
Communication Attempt: I immediately contacted 22Bet support to resolve this issue.
Current Status: The operator has acknowledged the issue but has officially stated that they have "no specific timeframe" for a resolution. My funds remain inaccessible, and I have been provided with no explanation for this restriction despite being a new user who has not violated any terms.
III. Desired Outcome
I am requesting that 22Bet either:
Immediately lift the restriction on my account so I may access my funds and use the platform.
Alternatively, immediately process a refund of my initial deposit to the original payment method if they are unwilling to provide access to the account.
IV. Evidence Provided
Screenshot of the "currency=0" / "game not available" error.
Copy of the deposit confirmation/transaction receipt.
Correspondence with 22Bet support where they confirmed the "no timeframe" status.
I am a new user and have fully complied with all platform requirements. I believe this indefinite hold on my funds is unfair and violates the standard service expectations for a gaming operator. I am seeking AskGamblers' assistance to mediate this matter and reach a prompt resolution.

Issue with withdrawal
22bet ID: 1194201819
I am writing to request your assistance regarding an ongoing issue with 22Bet that has left me unable to access my funds.

I decided to join 22Bet after reading positive reviews and recommendations about the casino on AskGamblers. Based on those reviews, I believed 22Bet was a trustworthy and reputable operator. I created an account, completed the verification process, and started playing on the platform.

Initially, I lost approximately CAD 20,000. Throughout my time playing, all deposits and withdrawals were processed almost instantly, and I never experienced any issues. My account was fully verified, and everything appeared to be operating normally.

However, this month my withdrawal request was suddenly declined. When I contacted customer support, I was instructed to contact the Security Department by email.

The Security Department first requested a copy of my identification document. I promptly provided a clear and valid copy. They then requested additional photos of the same ID from different angles and backgrounds. Although I found this unusual, I fully cooperated and submitted the requested documents.

After that, I was asked to provide proof of funds. Since a significant portion of the money I deposited originated from winnings previously earned and withdrawn from 22Bet itself, I provided evidence supporting this. Despite my cooperation, I received only the following response:

“Please pay attention to the requirements of the Security Department, otherwise further actions are impossible.”

I consider this response unprofessional and unclear. It does not explain what specific information is missing or what additional documents are required. Simply stating that “further actions are impossible” without providing clear guidance is not an acceptable way to communicate with a customer who has fully cooperated throughout the verification process.

Considering they might need first deposit .I prepared a detailed PDF document containing an explanation letter and a step-by-step breakdown of the source of my funds. I also included evidence showing how the money was transferred to my 22Bet account. Part of the funds originated from winnings at BC.Game, a platform where I have never experienced any issues with withdrawals.

Previously, support representatives would respond within an hour. However, after I submitted the requested documents and explanation, communication has significantly slowed, and I have been waiting a long time without receiving any meaningful response.

I have fully complied with every request made by 22Bet and have provided all documents requested so far. I am therefore asking AskGamblers to intervene and help resolve this matter. I simply want my withdrawal processed.

I chose 22Bet because of its positive reputation and the reviews I read on AskGamblers. As a loyal customer who has deposited and lost substantial amounts on the platform, I did not expect to encounter these issues when attempting to withdraw my funds.

I have attached the file so you can also take a look that how professional and organized file I made and sent to them

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your support in resolving this matter
