Withdrawal problem

By Midnight7755

6 years ago

I joined betway as they had an offer on as deposit 250 and get a 100% bonus for new customers. I read the terms and conditions to see my maximum bet and slot details . Started playing and after my own money went , I started using their bonus, I started to get lucky and manage to get through the wagering with just over £5000. Which I withdrew. I sent my relevant documents to help speed up the withdrawal , a week went by and it still had not been approved which confused me. I contacted them and they assured me , it was just taking a bit longer getting approved. Then 2 months went by, me contacting them various times and no help was given. A lot of lies were told, it actually got approved at one point then another email saying actually someone accidentally approved it and its under review again. One of their live chat staff said he had been in the wrong queue and is now on its way, which was another lie as weeks after he said that it was in the same status. Then 3 months went by , finally got an email saying now we want bank statements which confused me as i had already sent one for proof of address. I sent another covering a few personal transactions , got a message back weeks later saying we want to see all transactions. I have mentioned I am going to send this message to you guys now, as I dont think im getting anywhere. Thanks

withdrawal failed and I cannot access my funds

Hello,

I would like to submit a complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal issue with Betway.

My Betway account is verified, and I requested a withdrawal of CLP 47,800.

Betway later informed me by email that they were unable to process the withdrawal to my Visa card due to card restrictions, even though the card had previously been used successfully on the account.

Following their instructions, I attempted to update my withdrawal method and use an alternative option such as Bank Transfer / SWIFT.

Additionally, days earlier I also attempted to add a new payment method to my account. Betway instructed me to make a deposit using the new account/card in order to verify and enable it for withdrawals. I followed those instructions and completed the requested deposit, but the new payment method still could not be properly added or used for withdrawals.

Despite several attempts to resolve the issue, I have not been able to receive effective assistance from support. The live chat system mostly redirects me to automated responses, and my emails have not been properly resolved.

At the moment, my withdrawal has failed and my funds remain inaccessible while I continue trying to find a working withdrawal solution.

I am not accusing the operator of refusing payment. I am simply requesting assistance in resolving the withdrawal issue and accessing my funds through an alternative payment method.

I am attaching:

* the email from Betway regarding the failed withdrawal,
* screenshots of the withdrawal status,
* screenshots related to the payment method issue,
* and screenshots showing my attempts to contact support.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Betway purposely delaying withdrawal

So I have been waiting since 24th jan for my withdrawl to be processed and yet still have no recieved my funds.

The amount is £20,668.52

I have been sent around in circles being told one thing than another.

I sent documents and was told i was successfully verified.
But the withdrawl was still delayed.

An agent then was really helpful and requested a timeframe seems it was already overdue.

I was then sent a link to yet again verify. Which did not work.

I waited days for another link which worked and I did It right away.

Now Im back to sqaure one of being told to wait which I do then told to wait longer again.

Now today my account has been locked. So I asked this morning why and was told although its not yet being reviewed it can be closed during review...
So which is it I ask?

Though the next agent then told me it was locked due to concerns on chat which is absurd.

The only thing I can possibly feel that is being excused as a reason for concern is that I agreed with agents who said it is frustrating and said it is causing me stress, which it would any normal person being messed around with inconsistent information.

No consumer is happy about funds being withheld for no valid reason.

The agent then closed the chat on me which I think is disgustingly rude.

Under the Gambling Commission rules and the Consumer Rights Act 2015, players have the right to withdraw deposited funds and winnings at any time without unreasonable delay or restriction.

I would most certainly say this has been unreasonable. I sent all my documents for verification right away and its been delayed as much as possible, using any reason they can come up with.

I have all chats screenshotted but haven't uploaded due to the large amount.

Not pay and live chat does not exist

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Betway regarding a persistent failure to process my withdrawal request and the total absence of legitimate customer support. As a registered user, I have followed all established protocols for fund withdrawal, yet the platform has failed to uphold its contractual obligations and regulatory standards.

1. Failure to Process Payments
I have a significant balance in my account that I have attempted to withdraw. Despite my account being fully verified and having met all necessary wagering requirements, the payment remains "pending" or has been cancelled without a valid explanation. This constitutes a direct violation of the terms and conditions regarding the timely disbursement of player funds. It is deeply concerning that a platform of this scale is withholding legitimate winnings from its users.

2. Non-Existent Live Chat Support
Betway advertises a Live Chat feature as a primary means of resolving urgent issues. However, after numerous attempts to access this service, I have found it to be completely non-functional. The link either leads to a dead page or places me in an infinite loop within the "Help" section. A gambling operator must provide real-time assistance, especially when financial transactions are involved. The fact that the Live Chat is "invisible" or perpetually unavailable is deceptive and prevents players from seeking immediate help.

3. Automated Email Responses (Bot Interference)
Furthermore, I have attempted to resolve this through their official contact emails. Every communication I have sent has been met with a generic, automated response generated by a bot. These replies do not address my specific concerns and offer no path to speak with a human representative. This "wall of automation" is a tactic used to frustrate users and avoid accountability. There is a total lack of transparency and professional oversight in their communication department.
PD: I used ia because dont speak inglish thenkiu for you help

Refund Not Paid After 7 Days

I received an email from Betway Support stating that my deposit would be refunded due to alleged issues with my account ("verification process" took 2 weeks as well which is unbelievable). However, it has now been seven days since that message, and I have yet to receive the refund. This delay seems excessively long. I ask Betway to provide an update on the status of the refund.

"We trust you are well.

We write to advise that a review of the account has now been completed by the Operations Department.

After careful consideration, a decision has been made to issue a refund, as per the amount shown below.

Refund: 300 EUR

Note: the refund amount has been calculated on total deposits minus total withdrawals – therefore placing you in the same financial position immediately before the account registration.

Please note this account will remain closed."

Delayed Withdrawal By repeating asking proof of ownership of my cards

AskGamblers Team,

I need your help regarding a delayed $3,000 CAD withdrawal from BETWAY initiated on January 14, 2025. Despite providing all requested documents, including statements and verification for my payment methods, the casino has yet to process my withdrawal.

As a loyal customer with a history of significant transactions, I find the repeated requests to prove card ownership unreasonable, especially when I’ve already submitted the required evidence.

Please assist in resolving this issue promptly. I can provide further details if needed.

Betway not processing my withdrawal and its been three days now with no help

Hi,

I have been waiting for Betway to pay my withdrawal for over 3 days now.

My account is verified and I have been advised there is no issues with the withdrawal and to expect it “soon”.

I have been in contact with customer support everyday to find out what the delay is but I just get told the same thing every time and that is to just be patient.

As per their T&C’s it states they aim to process within 24 hours unless there is an issue? Again which I have been told there is no issues.

The payment was approved to be released on the 16/9 @ 14:00. This was 9 hours after I had submitted the withdrawal.

I have contacted them numerous times and I seem to be getting nowhere now and I just want them to send the payment.

I don’t understand how it can take them so long but other operators hours to pay? How do they expect customers to come back and play after treating them like this?!

Withdrawal not paid but says paid on their website

Hi,

I withdrew money from the app and it processed, it got to the point where I got a text of my passcode to use for my upcoming money transfer, however a week has passed and I have yet to receive the money to use the code. On their end it has been saying I’ve been paid. I tried reaching out to their live chat but I only get automated bots to chat with, and their withdrawal tracker is not very helpful as it does not update at all.
