Verification challenge


Hello.

Thank you for this platform.

I just joined 22bet, made a deposit seamlessly, won and lost some stakes, but can't withdraw due to some stringent verification process. Already, I have provided my valid ID card, as well as the photo of my credit card showing some digits.

However I was asked to take a clear selfie of me holding my ID closely to my face, with the dialogue of my mailing with the security team showing in my background clearly. This looked daunting to me. I mean, how can I take a selfie of me with and still show a background picture with one device. I replied the security team for further clarification on how I can achieve their requirement, they keep resending the mail to me.

Please I'll appreciate if I can be directed around it, or a sample of it shared with me. You can find attached the mail.

Thank you

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 Since a significant portion of the money I deposited originated from winnings previously earned and withdrawn from 22Bet itself, I provided evidence supporting this.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
