Hi I joined 22 bet in May and was told I did not have to verify at all I started with $200 deposit won money and lost it, Since I have made 8 deposits for a total of $5205. I went on a winning streak as of late and have my account to 20K. I tried to make a bitcoin withdraw for 5K and they asked me to verify with picture id and picture front / back of card used , I have done this before with other books so was understandable and sent everything. I was then asked for .pdf of bank statement witch I sent , they then said it needed my bank card number on statement since this is not usually on I got my bank to add it in /sent it in .pdf file now they are saying scanned copies are not accepted when its a clear original .pdf file I sent . I feel I'm getting the run around to avoid payment

Dear ZOMBIE, all bets are settled according to the official result, as for payments,
we got no option to remove the payment method for each player, also you were suggested
how to withdraw the founds and what payments you should use, after it we see that you never requested the withdrawal and lost all your balance.

I gave up on this site as I wasn't going to waste anymore time with them always giving new excuses, they paid me finally at the start but when I kept winning they made it hard again and would not pay me .They took away my payment option and were trying to make me use another to deposit option saying I had to withdrawl a new way and just keep delaying payments , started to juice my odds every time i clicked a bet they would add like 80 cents juice to the line, then when a game went to a rain delay on 2K over bet they did not give me the push they counted it as a lost when the game did not finish.

Withdrawal blocked verification pending for over a month

Hello AskGamblers team,


I live in Germany and have been playing at 22bet from Germany since registering on 17 September 2026, always with my real details. 22bet has known my country of residence from the start:


I registered with my German address in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia.

My deposits were made with my own bank cards, a Revolut card and a DKB Visa Debit card, plus one small cryptocurrency deposit.

During verification, 22bet requested and received my passport, photos of my bank cards, bank statements for both cards, and a selfie holding my passport next to the device I bet on, with my profile open.

[I have never used a VPN to access 22bet.]


On 17 September 2026 I requested a withdrawal of €1,390 (request №5298295113, ticket #5470147). The same day, 22bet’s security department asked me to verify my account. Between 17 September and 7 October 2026 I sent every document they requested, and on 7 October 2026 they confirmed in writing that my data had been received and was under verification.


Since then I have received no further requests and no result. When I asked for an update on 20 October 2026, I was only told that my request had been passed to specialists. On 26 October 2026, live support confirmed that my data is still under review, that they cannot see its progress, and that the withdrawal restriction remains in place. 22bet has never told me that any document is missing.

22bet accepted me as a player from Germany, took my deposits and reviewed my documents, so my country of residence was never hidden from them. I am asking 22bet to complete my verification or tell me exactly which document is missing, and to pay my withdrawal of €1,390.


Note: your live chat advised that a complaint from a restricted country can be submitted from a non-restricted IP while stating the country I have been playing from. 22bet does not appear in the list for Germany.

Four SEPA withdrawals marked as successful but not received

The issue occurred on September 8, 2026. On that date, I made five withdrawals from my 22Bet account via SEPA bank transfer: 10,000, 10,000, 10,000, 9,000, and 9,900.

According to 22Bet, all five withdrawals were processed successfully, and the funds were sent.

However, I have received only the withdrawal of 9,900 in my bank account. The remaining four withdrawals — three payments of 10,000 and one payment of 9,000, totaling 39,000 — have not been received.

22Bet informed me that the withdrawals were successfully sent and that the arrival of the funds depends on their payment provider. However, I have not received any clear information about the location or status of the four missing SEPA transfers, and their support is currently not responding to me.

I have requested proof of payment and traceable transaction details for the missing transfers, including the transaction/payment references and End-to-End IDs, so that my bank can trace them. I have not received these details.

The fact that the 9,900 SEPA withdrawal from the same date successfully reached the same bank account, while the other four transfers did not, makes me particularly concerned.

I am requesting that 22Bet immediately investigate and trace all four missing SEPA transfers with their payment provider and provide valid proof of payment and transaction references for each transfer.

If the transfers cannot be completed, I request that the full missing amount of 39,000 be returned to my 22Bet account.

I can provide screenshots of the withdrawal history, showing that all withdrawals are marked as successfully processed, as well as my bank statement confirming that only the 9,900 payment was received.

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.
