They told me that I need to send the documents from a gmail domain


2 years ago

Hello,

After playing in 22bet site for quite some time playing aviator, casino and sports bets and facing multiple successful withdrawals, today I tried to make another one with the total amount of 91.18€ but without success.

I have received a notification saying that I need to email the security team for some documents. It seems I will have to go through the KYC which is fine.

The problem is that after I have contacted the support via chat to know what is this email to send them my documents, they told me that I cannot send my documents from my hotmail address but that I need to send the documents from a gmail domain?

What is the sense in this? they say that they are having issues with other domains except gmail?

My question is, is this normal for a site to ask to provide documents from a different email other than the one that I have signed up in the site?

I find this rather strange. May you help me with this withdraw request AskGamblers, please?

Below you can find their answer from the live chat:

Please use another e-mail address with the @gmail.com domain (not the @hotmail.com domain) to contact our specialists.

In the e-mail, indicate your gaming ID number and the e-mail address linked to your account (with the @hotmail.com domain).

You can also ask our specialists to link the e-mail address with the @gmail.com domain to your account.

In that case, please take a selfie with a piece of paper where both previous and new e-mail address and write "I confirm the change of my personal details in the account"

In the e-mail, please indicate the gaming ID number, the e-mail address linked to your account, and attach photos of your documents."

I am worried that they are going to trick me by doing something strange and they extend the verification process for a long time and then I cannot see my money again.

Thank you.

Hello,

Today, 18th of March at 21:00, I have received an email from the 22BET support confirming that I could proceed with my withdrawal.

I cannot recommend anyone playing in this bookmaker. You will have problems sooner or later and when you do, you can wait at least 2-3 weeks for being verified asking for every type of stupid requests that you can imagine.

I sense that they want me to get far away from the site because in the email, they said that I could proceed with the withdrawal but they specified that I could proceed with the complete 100% withdrawal of my funds and not a partial withdrawal.

If you want to play here, be mentally prepared for the most extensive KYC procedure that you can imagine, without being 100% sure if they are going to pay you in the end.

And as you could see, AskGamblers couldn't intervene or didn't want to intervene much here, so you are on your own as I was.

You can close this post, the winnings were fully paid with a lot of fight, blood, sweat and tears.

Thank you.

18th of March - 22BET asked me now a selfie with a sheet of paper with the current date and the code QEK7U1D written on it. My face and all data should be clearly and fully visible.

AskGamblers, it's possible to stop this process from these guys? They are making excuses and make me do these stupid things over and over again for not paying.

This is direct harrasment to the user. These guys do not respect any laws and do not care of anything. They want to steal my money.

I will send the stupid image but they will ask me again for another stupid thing for the loop to continue, please intervene here.

Hello,

The part where you say "required only for the first withdrawal of winnings" is a lie. I have made multiple withdrawals with success from your part but of course, once someone reaches the value threshold, this stupid extended KYC takes place.

I will make a brief resume of what is happening to me, to warn future users of what they should expect from you.

New users for 22bet, I have made multiple successful verifications from other sites and they just take 24hours or less. You only need to send your ID card and proof of address if needed (not all ask for this), but in this bookmaker I will tell you the ridiculous extended time for verification and what documents you should expect to provide to them:

So, here we go. On the 1st of March I was requested to email the security team but not from an hotmail address which was the account that I registered but I should email with a gmail one.
No problem, I have done this so the ridiculous KYC started.

5th March - 22BET asked to confirm the skrill account and I have done that succesfully

5th March (yes, same day) - 22BET asked for a selfie with ID card next to my face and also next to my
computer where they could see the emails that we have exchanged as
well (lol). Difficult one but after sending like three or four photos, I
have done this successfully as well.

5th March (again) - 22BET asked a ridiculous question that was "Dear costumer, please specify your
relations with Monteiro Liliana" and of course I answered that I don't know
anyone with that name and what the hell was that stupid question. My guess is
that it's probably a trick question to see if you know someone with that name and
they accuse you from multi accounting.

8th March - 22BET asked photos or original PDF file of utility bills for the last 3 months. I have done
that with success as well.

11th March - 22BET asked for photo of driving license front and back. I have done that successfully.

15th March - 22BET asked for my photo of international passport. I have sent them and I'm waiting
for a confirmation from their side now.

Almost 2 weeks are passed and i'm still not verified. This is a small recap of the harrasment that this bookmaker will do to you, so if you are a new player you will need to have the mental strenght capacity to do all these steps and wait patiently for your money for a very long time IF they decide to pay (I will still confirm this). Prepare for not sleeping well at night concerned about your money's safety.

Thank you.

I guess that the KYC is not over, so I will keep here posted everything that this bookmaker asks me and let's see the stupidity of this KYC procedure.

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.
Status rejected Rejected
