Stalling my withdrawal

Message on forum

I joined betway maybe a month ago. Had some success, not lots but managed to withdraw more than I deposited. On my fourth withdrawal I had email letting me know they needed supporting documents from me. I thought this was strange since I had already had three withdrawals go through but I submitted them anyway. Took a while but got an email letting me know they now needed to phone me to do a verification call. Did this and was told everything was fine and that my withdrawal for £301 would now be released.

I didn't hear from them so I spoke to someone on live chat the following day and he told me that my account was indeed all verified but that my withdrawal was being reviewed and that I needed to wait 24-48 hours. Spoke to someone on wednesday who told me this wasn't actually true and that my account was not verified because I hadn't done a verification call. Emailed them and got a reply apologising for their error and that I had indeed received a verification call and that they had processed my £10 withdrawal (another one I was waiting for). I replied asking about the £301 to be told that they were again, sorry, but that it was being reviewed and that I needed to wait 24-48 hours. I email them the next and receive a reply apologising for the delay but telling that it would now be done in the next 24 hours. Spoke to someone again to be told this is not the case and that I should have not received an email telling me so. It's been two weeks since I made the withdrawal on the 23rd of June and I am starting to get irritated at the useless and conflicting information. Hoping this helps get a clearer response.

Hi Angharad,

Please see the findings from our investigation:

2017:

* You requested withdrawal of £301.00.
* The withdrawal was put on hold due to documents required.
* As our Terms and Conditions state:
"Please note: in the case of a withdrawal being made for the first time, a large withdrawal or changes being made to payment options, we may take additional security measures to ensure that you are the rightful recipient of the funds. In these instances, copies of identification documents may be required before payment can be made. These measures are in place to protect your money and your privacy and may result in a slight delay. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
* You sent in documents these were later declined.
* We informed you that we need to complete a Welcome Call.
* First and second Welcome Call attempted, this was unsuccessful. An email was sent to you advising that the Welcome Call needs to take place and you need to provide a valid contact number.
* You emailed us with a new mobile number to call you on, you also advised that a Welcome Call took place 03/07/2017 however, we have no record of this and advised you accordingly.
* The Welcome Call was completed, you were informed that the withdrawal will be released in 24-48 hours.
* The withdrawal in question was re-instated. A manual withdrawal created and released.
* The withdrawal was paid to your PayPal account.

Due to the fact that the withdrawal has been paid to your account, there is no further action required.

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 withdrawal not paid

Withdrawal says it’s been paid since Dec 17 I have received no emails no nothing and was apparently paid after I had to change my payment method to receive it and still nothing it’s been months now and there is 0 communication. It’s so hard to try to talk to them I’ve tried everything and now I’m starting to think it’s just not going to show up.

I will appreciate it if you look into it and withdraw my wins to my bank connected to my Betway account.

Thank you

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.

2800 euro withdrawal not received since June 4th

On the 4th of June, I order a withdrawal of 2800 euro.

Almost two months have gone and I still haven't received the withdrawal!

They asked me for KYC. I send them all the requested documents.

After this, they asked me to do live verification. I have also completed this.

Nothing has happened. Can you please contact them for me hopefully we can get this fixed in the near future!
