Unreasonable verification process


2 years ago
Account: 164857815

After trying to withdraw winnings of around 500€ I was asked for personal data for the verification process.
The process started on May 9th and the way to use is the same. They ask for a piece of information and they answer you after 48/72 hours. The data requested were the following:
-Photo of the national document and card.
-Selfie.
-Selfie with the card in hand and with the conversation with the security department.
-Invoice of a public service.
-Photo of the driver's license.
-Passport photo.
And I don't know what the next one will be.

All these data are requested one by one, making the wait for withdrawing funds very long. Where is this reasonable time? We all know that verifying an account cannot take that long.
I have helped and provided each and every piece of information they have asked me for.
I am beginning to think that they do not want me to withdraw my money.

They finally verified my account and I was able to withdraw the money.
I have had to turn to this page to put pressure on them since they have a very abusive account verification policy. Having a person verify an account for 12 days is not a good user experience at all, asking for data one by one and taking 72 hours to respond to each piece of information they asked for, I have had to be very patient.
To this we must add the lack of professionalism of the security team when I asked for help with a piece of information they asked for and their answers were repetitive and unprofessional, going so far as to tell me that they were not going to answer me anymore. (They asked me for a utility bill and I couldn't understand what it was, until a customer service team helped me by telling me it was an electricity or water bill).

For my part they have lost a player in this casino. I hope they check and modify their policy and their way of treating customers, they have left a lot to be desired.

After asking me for a passport photo, again they let almost 72 hours pass and they gave me another selfie but now with the date and the code. As if the previous one I sent with the selfie of my face with the card and the email conversation was not useful. Now what? Will they let 72 hours pass again to respond to me to verify a selfie?
Where is the reasonable time? They clearly seek to bore the user but you are not going to achieve it.

So far he has asked me for these details, all one at a time:
-Photo of the national document and card.
-Selfie.
-Selfie with the card in hand and with the conversation with the security department.
-Invoice of a public service.
-Photo of the driver's license.
-Passport photo.
-Selfie with code and date.

Verification time: 12 days and continuing.

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.

Don't want to pay my withdrawal at verificated account
Hello, my name is Tsvetelina, account number 1455589055. I had registered at 22bet at 13.11.2025. At the same day, i won 24 000 BGN. I had requested withdrawal, they want from me selfie with id and conversation, just selfie and ID card. I provided them everything in 1 hr. The next day, they wanted from me document for a LACK OF GAMBLING ADDICTION. For first time i see that requirement. I provided them with that document from medical specialist. Waited 4 days to check it the document was half page , and after that they told me my account is verificated. At 17.11.2025 11:38, i made 6 requests for withdrawals of 6x 3 900 BGN via Sepa Transfer , and they were in status Approved . After that , till now, the money are not transfered and completed and the status wasnt changed. I contact with the support every day till now and please them to check what happens, because usually the sepa transfers goes in 24 hrs. They told me that everything is OK, just need to wait maximum 5 days. At friday 21.11.2025 i asked them what happens, they told me that the term is 7 days, not 5 days ... Nevermind. I please them to open some case, because it is not normal to wait so much, and after that they told me that they opened a case for their financial department and to contact them 12 hrs later. I contacted them at every 12 hrs, but they told me that there is no any answer, till now, still dont have an answer. Today i start to emailing, chatting and seraching contact to all of their departments, they just do nothing, only tell me to wait wait wait. These money are a lot of money for me, i dont know what to do, for first time i see such a manners. They are rude, they dont answer me or if they answer me they do it with ready answers, that dont correspond with my question. I am worried, i am stressed about this case, dont know what to do - feeling robbed, scammed, feeling like a begger because i just want to withdrawal my money.
