Hello AskGamblers, 22bet,

First, thanks for the attention.

I've spent all my day trying to solve this, along with the support/security team of 22bet Casino.

My account has been made 2 days ago (05/03) and I made the first deposit via PrePaid Visa Credit Card, of 1€, earned plus 1€ of bonus and lost it, made a second deposit friday of 63€ and won 137€ reaching 200€. Tried to do the withdrawl process today, and failed. I receive an error, normal around here on this site, as I searched about it: Denied by operator. (Payment processing error).
Went to the live chat support, talked to one guy (first 3 printscreens, in portuguese), who said that I should contact security@22bet email to activate the SEPA method, tried it, but I need the residence permit to activate the SEPA method... so I asked what's the another way to have my money, and they passed me to the support-pt@22bet email, who didn't answered yet. Tried the option of getting a callback from the app, and a guy called me from UK, said that he would contact the specialists and would give me another call, waited, and another guy from Belgium called me, saying that was my bank that was with a problem... so I called my bank, talked with them about the situation, and my Prepaid Visa Credit Card was able to receive any deposit from anywhere.
Tried again the live chat support and the guy gave me another solution: send to security@22bet a photo of you, holding your passport, with the email conversation with security@22bet opened, everything in 1 photo, so I did it. And received this message by the 2nd time:
"Dear customer,
You should send photos of your residence permit.
Unfortunately scanned copies and photo copies are not accepted for verification.
The photos should not be cropped, all data should be visible and readable on the photo."
Said to them that I don't have a residence permit, again, and they said that is not possible to activate the SEPA method without a residence permit, but I didn't wrote that I wanted to do the SEPA activation, I wrote that I wanted the bank card activated so I could withdraw the money... no answers after that, and I still waiting... all my saturday lost, plus the time I spent playing on the app.

Wish that can help me get my money.

Best regards, Leonardo.

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

Unexpected problem with Wallet ID
1. Introduction and Background
I am filing this formal complaint against 22Bet Casino regarding the unjustified freezing of my funds and an impassable verification process. I registered my account on February 22, 2026. From the outset, I explicitly waived all welcome bonuses to ensure my play remained unrestricted by wagering requirements—a fact confirmed by the casino’s support team (see attached transcripts).

2. Account Activity and Initial Compliance
During my initial period of play, just only on a Live Roulette, I maintained a positive balance and successfully executed two withdrawals to my original source of funds. No problems at all . At that stage, the casino’s support was responsive, and no compliance issues were raised.

My current balance stands at approximately $1,000 USD.

3. The Verification Deadlock (KYC/AML)
The issue arose when I attempted to access my account to continue playing and found it restricted. I was requested to undergo an additional KYC process, including the submission of identity documents and selfies, all of which were provided promptly.
However, the Security Team has since entered a repetitive and logically flawed cycle, requesting the following:

"Provide us with the screenshots from the site or app where Crypto currency deposits were bought."

4. Technical and Legal Arguments
I have repeatedly clarified to 22Bet Security that the source of funds is a non-custodial "Trust Wallet".
• Nature of the Wallet: These wallets are decentralized and anonymous by design; they do not hold personal data.
• Source of Funds: The crypto assets were purchased with cash at a physical point of sale, not through a centralized exchange (CEX) or website. Therefore, the requested "purchase screenshot" is a physical and technical impossibility.
• Evidence Provided: I have submitted the full blockchain traceability (Transaction IDs) proving the funds originated from my wallet.
• Arbitrary Rejection: The casino summarily dismissed this evidence, stating: "Screenshots from the etherscan website are not accepted for verification."

5. Grounds for Complaint
The casino's refusal to accept blockchain evidence—the only objective proof for cryptocurrency—while demanding non-existent documentation from a decentralized wallet, constitutes a procedural deadlock.
Furthermore, 22Bet does not explicitly state that users are prohibited from using non-custodial wallets (like Trust Wallet), nor did they flag this during the initial deposits and withdrawals.

6. Desired Resolution
I request the assistance of AskGamblers to mediate the following:

1. Restoration of Access: Immediate access to my legitimate funds ($1,000 USD).

2. Verification Completion: Recognition of the blockchain traceability provided as valid proof of ownership, given the decentralized nature of the wallet.

3. Account Normalization: The right to continue playing without further discriminatory questioning regarding my choice of a standard, legitimate crypto wallet.
