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.
Dear all,
As apparent from the submitter's latest post, the AskGamblers Complaint Team is pleased to announce the case has been resolved and closed.
We thank both parties for their assistance during the complaint process.
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.
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.
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.
