Winnings Withheld Due to Unjustified Verification Issues

I won €3,500 on BetMaximus on October 29th, 2024. Since then, I have not been able to withdraw my winnings due to ongoing and unreasonable issues with account verification.

I have submitted all required documents multiple times, including:

A valid government-issued ID

A recent utility bill as proof of address

A screenshot of my deposit method

BetMaximus keeps rejecting my documents, claiming there are issues with the metadata. For me I'm not entirely clear what that means and the support team wont elaborate on the matter. After googling around I found out some more but from my understanding since I uploaded all the photos/documents directly from my phone there shouldn't be any problems with the metadata. I have not edited the photos in any way, the pictures from my id etc is taken directly from my Phone. I have not received any clear explanation or guidance on what exactly is wrong or how to resolve it.

This has been ongoing for months. It feels like BetMaximus is using these technicalities to delay or avoid payment altogether. I am fully willing to cooperate and provide any further documents needed, but I expect a fair and transparent process. After reading other complaints here on askgamblers it seemse like im not the only one having problems with this casino.

I respectfully ask AskGamblers to step in and help facilitate a resolution so I can receive my rightful winnings. I have nowhere else to turn as of now. I feel helpless when I keep getting the same message from betmaximus support team over and over.


Thank you in advance,

Hello AskGamblers Team & Parberg,

Good afternoon!

If you are modifying the images sent in any way then this is altering the metadata and leading to the photos being rejected.

You can learn more about this here - https:­//e­n.w­iki­ped­ia.o­rg­/wi­ki/Exif .

To avoid any issues simply upload the original photos without making any changes and make sure that you are sending new photos that are taken at a date later then the email received by our team.

With appreciation,

Ok little to no suprise that I need to send exactly what you are requesting to complete the verification.
I think you are avoiding to answer my question.
See I have done everything within my power to clear this verification. I understand that a casino needs to have a proper KYC and I have no problem with that. I have tried so many times to get it right.
When you say that there is an issue with the metadata on my documents. What does that even mean? How do I avoid having problems with the metadata on my documents?
I have uploaded everything directly to you from my phone. How can the metadata be bad?

I am sorry to hear about your situation.

To complete the verification process you will need to send exactly the photos that were requested by the verification team, making sure they meet all the requirements.

All the information has been provided to you in their email and we have not received any information from you since February.

Refusing to verify documents and release my winnings

Dear AskGamblers team,

I am submitting this complaint regarding Betmaximus, where I won €7,865 on 12/12/2024. Since then, the casino has refused to process my withdrawal, despite my repeated and genuine attempts to provide the requested verification documents.

They requested the following:

A picture of my passport

A valid proof of address

Confirmation of my Revolut card

I have submitted all of these documents multiple times over the past few months. Each time, I made sure to upload the documents directly from my phone to ensure proper metadata since they complained about that the first time. I:

Took a photo of my passport directly with my phone and uploaded it

Downloaded a recent bank statement as proof of address to my phone and uploaded it

Downloaded the Revolut card confirmation via the Revolut app and uploaded it from my phone

Despite all this, the support team repeatedly tells me the metadata is "wrong" or "missing" without specifying what exactly the issue is or how to resolve it. I have not edited or altered the files in any way. I even resent all documents freshly and directly from my mobile device to comply, but I keep getting the same vague response.

It feels like the casino is using this as a stalling tactic to avoid paying out my rightful winnings. I have done everything requested, yet there is no progress or clarity.

I kindly ask for AskGamblers' support in resolving this matter and ensuring that Betmaximus honors my withdrawal of €7,865.

Sincerely,
