Verification and withdrawal issues taking so long

Hello, my account has been blocked for no apparent reason. I tried to place a bet and discovered that my access to the account had been restricted. I contacted customer support via email, but they simply informed me that the account was blocked without providing any explanation. I have not violated any rules; I placed bets quite frequently and held a "Sapphire 3" VIP status, with a total wagering volume exceeding one million. My account balance is currently 0, but I do have several active wagers on the winners of various championships (NFL, Serie A).

They just gave me an answer

"We are writing to let you know that your account has been restricted and associated funds (if any) placed on hold in accordance with our Terms of Service and applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

This is a legal requirement, not a discretionary decision.

We apologise for the disruption."

"We understand this is frustrating. Due to our legal and regulatory obligations we are unable to share further details regarding the basis for this decision or provide a timeframe for the duration of this hold.

If you wish to seek independent legal advice regarding your position, you are encouraged to do so.

We apologise for the disruption this causes."

They didn’t provide any reason; they simply made a decision and took my money—which means they could do the same thing to any player.

I want my account to be unfrozen, or alternatively, I want my bets cancelled and my money returned, and then the account can be closed permanently.

Dear Cloudbet Support / Risk Team,

I am writing this formal complaint regarding the sudden and unexplained restriction of my account on 24 September 2026.

On that date I received the following message:

“We wanted to let you know that your account is currently temporarily restricted while we carry out a standard betting integrity review. These reviews are an important part of keeping our platform fair and secure for all customers. Please note that, in certain rare cases, the process can take up to six months to complete.”

My current balance of $1,845 has been completely frozen. I am unable to withdraw my own funds or use the account in any way.

I want to clearly state the following facts:

While I was losing money in the casino and making additional deposits, my account worked without any problems.

While I was losing on sports bets, my account also worked without any issues.

The moment I won a legitimate bet, my account was immediately restricted.

This pattern is extremely clear and raises serious concerns about fairness.

I have been a regular player and have never violated any of your Terms and Conditions. I have not used multiple accounts, bots, or engaged in any form of collusion or match-fixing. I simply placed a normal bet and won.

What makes this situation particularly surprising is the size of the win. I honestly did not expect that for a platform of Cloudbet’s size and reputation, a profit of roughly $1,000–1,100 would be considered so significant that it would require freezing the account and launching a six-month “integrity review.” For a well-established operator with a strong public image, this reaction appears disproportionate and inconsistent with the standards one would reasonably expect.

The complete lack of transparency only makes things worse. You provide no specific reason, no evidence, and no clear timeline beyond the vague and excessive “up to six months.” Holding a player’s legitimate funds for half a year without any concrete explanation is not a “standard review” — it is an abusive practice.

I would also like to point out that other reputable operators, including Stake and several other major bookmakers, have processed my winnings from similar bets without any delays, investigations, or restrictions. The difference in treatment is striking.

I formally request the following:

Immediate and clear explanation of the exact reason for the restriction of my account.

Confirmation that my balance of $1,845 remains fully available and will not be confiscated.

A realistic and much shorter timeframe for the completion of this review (not the maximum six months).

Full restoration of access to my account and the ability to withdraw my funds as soon as the review is completed.

I am ready to provide any additional information, documents, or transaction history you may require.

I am filing this complaint against Cloudbet because they have unfairly restricted my account and withheld my balance of approximately $300 USD since April 10th.

​On that date, they informed me my account was under a "betting integrity review" and stated that in exceptional cases, it could take up to 6 months. While I understand that casinos need to conduct standard security checks, keeping a player's legitimately deposited funds locked for a third of a year with absolutely zero transparency is an abusive practice.

​I am a regular sports bettor, focusing on standard markets, and I have done absolutely nothing to violate their terms of service.

​I have tried reaching out to their customer support multiple times to get a real update on my case. However, their first-line support completely ignores my emails. I only receive copy-pasted, automated script replies (most recently from an agent named Evelin) merely repeating the "6-month" excuse without providing any proof, details, or actual assistance. They even ignored my notification that I am escalating this to their regulatory body (Curaçao Gaming Authority).

​I am requesting AskGamblers' intervention to force a higher-level management representative at Cloudbet to actually look into my account (Username: gtleague2026), conclude this endless "investigation," and release my funds immediately.

​Thank you for your assistance.

To whom it may concern!

On 19th of June 2026, I created an account in Cloudbet Casino in order to bet on the World Cup Football Tournament.

Unfortunately, I had no idea back then that my experience with Cloudbet was going to be such an unpleasant ride. Had I known that, I would for sure have avoided to create an account, and I advise whoever is reading my complaint now to avoid using the services of Cloudbet Casino, as they operate as a scam company.

Back to my complaint now. On 22nd of June 2026, I got an email from the Operator that I am all set and my account is verified.

I deposited 1146.70 USDT on the same day (22nd of June 2026). I started betting on the football games of the WC 2026, winning quite a few slips. My balance went above 2500 USDT, and on 10th of July 2026 I decided to make my first withdrawal (Withdrawal ID: 1132966).

I confirmed the withdrawal via email and was waiting for the funds to arrive in my wallet. Not only did I never receive the funds, but when I tried to log in to check my withdrawal status, I got the message that my account is locked and that I no longer have access to it. I immediately sent an email to the support of the Operator, and I got the typical reply (as I noticed that many other complaining users got here):

"We wanted to let you know that your account is currently temporarily restricted while we carry out a standard betting integrity review. These reviews are an important part of keeping our platform fair and secure for all customers."

2 weeks now, I keep getting the same responses to all my emails that they need time and that the investigation is a lengthy process. What kind of investigation is this? Why do they allow the authorities to keep doing this to most of their customers? i was betting on World Cup football games, the most mainstream competition in the world, and they confiscated all my funds, even my deposits.

After a quick research in internet, I found your website and noticed that many others have the same issue as me and decided to ask for your help in order to retrieve my funds from this Operator that acts as a scammer in the market.

I have attached the relevant documentation of the withdrawal and the deposit, as well as the email I received from the Operator.

I rely on you, AskGamblers, to retrieve the money that was stolen from me.

Thank you in advance!

Hello Askgamblers.

Please help me solve the problem that has arisen with the Cloudbet casino.

On June 29, my account was blocked for unknown reasons. They told me in the chat that they didn't have any information about blocking, and I needed to contact them by email. I wrote a letter, but no one answered me in 24 hours. I contacted the chat again, providing my email address, but they told me that there was no such address registered in their system!!! (see screenshots of the correspondence). After I provided screenshots of making deposits at this casino, they found my email and apologized. I was told that my letter had been sent to the security service, and it would be reviewed as a matter of priority. I wrote another letter just in case. Another day has passed, but there is no answer.

It was only on the 9th day that I received an email telling me about closing my account, but it did not specify the reason.

I have been playing at this casino for about three years, and there have never been any problems, so I consider it one of the betting leaders. I made bets very rarely, 1-2 times a month, and I lost more often than I won. Therefore, the reason for the blocking is doubly unclear to me.

Therefore, I ask you to help unblock my account at this casino.
