Withdrawal deception and rejection


1 month ago

Dear AskGamblers Team and Megapari Casino Management,


I am filing a formal complaint against Megapari Casino regarding systematic failure to process withdrawals via M-Pesa for Kenyan players.


My account ID is [1548714277 registered in Kenya under(­aym­awa­nji­ru@­gma­il.c­om]. I have been a verified player with full KYC completed. My issue concerns withdrawal.

The core problem is deceptive payment practices. When I deposit, M-Pesa is always available, instant and working. I have deposited multiple times via M-Pesa Paybill and STK push without any issue, and funds reflect immediately. However, when I attempt to withdraw, there is either no M-Pesa withdrawal option available at all in the Cashier, or on the rare occasions when it appears and I submit a request, it is automatically rejected after a few hours with a generic reason like "payment system unavailable" or "try another method", or remains in pending status indefinitely.

I have contacted live chat and emailed support. I have been told to wait, try later, use cryptocurrency, or use another e-wallet that is not practical in Kenya. This is not acceptable because Megapari actively advertises and accepts M-Pesa for Kenya to take deposits, but does not provide a functional corresponding withdrawal channel. This forces players to keep playing until they lose.

This is not an isolated incident. If you visit Megapari's official Facebook page, the comment section and wall are filled with complaints from players from Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, India, and other countries, all reporting the exact same pattern: deposits work perfectly, withdrawals are rejected, delayed for weeks, or cancelled without valid explanation. This shows a pattern of withholding player funds.

I have attached screenshots showing: 1) M-Pesa available for deposit, 2) No M-Pesa option in withdrawal or rejected status, 3) My M-Pesa statement proving no credit, 4) Chat transcripts.

I request: Immediate release of my KES [121491ksh] via M-Pesa to the same number I used to deposit, or a clear technical explanation with a specific timeline. The current practice violates basic fairness principles where the deposit and withdrawal method should be symmetrical.

Thank you for your intervention.

We are pleased to confirm that the issue has now been resolved.

The difficulties with M-Pesa withdrawals were caused by temporary technical issues affecting the payment method. According to the latest information available on the player's account, we can now see that the withdrawal transactions have been successfully processed.

Verification prolonged for 12 days with repeated document requests
I am submitting this complaint regarding the prolonged verification process on my MegaPari account.

My verification has been ongoing for approximately 12 days. During this period, I have fully cooperated with every request from MegaPari’s Security Department and have provided all documents and photographs that I am able to provide.

So far, I have submitted:

My national ID card.

A selfie holding my ID while my MegaPari account was open and visible on my computer.

A utility bill and an official document confirming my residential address.

Proof and screenshots of my cryptocurrency transactions.

After this, I was asked to take another selfie holding my ID while my email correspondence with MegaPari’s support/security team was open and visible on my computer. I also provided this photograph exactly as requested.

The main issue is the way the verification process is being handled. Almost every request takes approximately 72 hours to receive a response. After waiting for this period, instead of the verification being completed, I am repeatedly asked for another document, another photograph, or another form of verification, and a new waiting period begins.

I fully understand the need for KYC and security checks, and I have not refused any reasonable verification request. However, after providing proof of my identity, address, account ownership, email access and cryptocurrency transactions, I do not believe it is reasonable for the process to continue indefinitely through new document requests every three days.

This verification process has now lasted approximately 12 days and has involved multiple different forms of identity and account verification.

I am asking MegaPari to either complete the verification of my account or clearly state all remaining requirements at once, instead of adding new requirements after each 72-hour waiting period.

I can provide screenshots of the emails, document requests, timestamps and correspondence with the Security Department as evidence of the entire verification timeline.

I would appreciate AskGamblers’ assistance in resolving this matter.
