Hi

This is a complaint against Melbet Casino. This is regarding my deposit not being refunded and not about trying to get my winnings.

I had an account with Melbet and when I had to get a new laptop decided to open another account because I wanted to start afresh. None of the accounts were used to abuse bonuses - I never accept any bonuses and my account is set to accept no bonuses. All I play is live dealer casino and not sports betting.

I was ever only playing with one account while the other dormant account had no money and no activity.

Accord to the T&Cs:
18. Should the bettor commit fraud in respect to the bookmaker (such as the registration of multiple accounts, the use of automated betting software, arbitrage betting, if the betting account is not used for betting, the improper use of loyalty schemes, etc.), the bookmaker reserves the right to stop such fraudulent actions by:.
bet cancellation;
closure of the customer’s account. Money that has been deposited into the account will be refunded.
filing a claim to a law-enforcement agency.

20. The bookmaker reserves the right to close a betting account immediately and void any bets placed thereon should the bookmaker establish that:
one bettor has a few betting accounts (multiple registration);
In the aforementioned circumstances balances on customers’ accounts shall be refunded after an investigation has been concluded. The balance shall be calculated excluding any unfair profits generated. The bookmaker reserves the right not to reimburse the bettor for any service charges imposed by payment systems while depositing and/or withdrawing monies from the MELbet account.

My issue to the $1132USD that I had deposited into my active account on 19th OCT.

1. Account 216583739 had ZERO balance - I had not used this account for awhile. No money was deposited into this account for a long time.

2. Account 220217725 is the active account - This account had a balance of $1200USD. I played and lost $1200USD on the 19th October so I deposit more money into this account - 2 bitcoin deposits for a total of $1132USD. I played and won making balance $2205.
I then proceed to try and make a withdraw and this is when the Security Team blocked my account with the reasoning that I had placed fraudulent sports bets!!!! I have never ever placed any sports bets with Melbet Casino. Ask them for a betting history and you will never see one sports bets!!. How can somebody make false accusations about a customer???? There should be a rule with that!

Melbet continue to say that they had paid my refund in full - but i have not received my $1132USD. I have asked them for a transaction history of my account to see when this $1132USD went to. 1 account had zero balance and had not been used and 1 account is the active one with a current balance of $2205USD - I am not after the winnings just the deposit of $1132USD.
I am not after my deposit from day 1 or 2 or 3 - where in their T&C does it even mention about deposit history!!! Only 1 account was active.

Please help me resolve this issue - according to their own rules, Melbet has a duty to return my deposit of $1132USD.

Dear all,

Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details and/or proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that Melbet Casino management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions. As previously explained in the casino's post, amount of player's second account total deposits was lower than the amount withdrawn from it. AskGamblers Casino Complaint Team has been provided with enough evidence which confirmed casino statement.

Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved and it is now officially closed. While we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.

Hi.

216583739 account at 19Oct had a zero balance - this account had not been used for awhile
220217725 account is the active account where i had my $1200USD - I had played and lost all this money. I then made a new deposit (2 bitcoin deposits for a total of $1132USD). I played and won a new balance of $2205USD

How am I making unfair profits???? Tell me one example of cheating on live dealer baccarat!!!! I. never abused your bonus system because I never accepted any bonuses!.

I ask again where in your T&Cs does it state that previous withdrawals can be used as refunding deposits!

Also when a customer does a withdrawal - doesnt the casino do checks on all withdrawals before they are processed to all customers. If a withdrawal was "unfair". why wasnt it flagged when the customer did a withdrawal.

"closure of the customer’s account. Money that has been deposited into the account will be refunded"

This is your rule. I am not after the winnings; just refund my $1132USD.

Melbet cashback 667 SAR disappeared

Hello AskGamblers Complaints Team,


I am submitting a new detailed complaint because my previous complaint was rejected for insufficient information. The reason was that my video and images failed to upload on your website because the file names were in Arabic, so you received the complaint with no evidence. Now I have uploaded all evidence to Google Drive with public access.


Google Drive evidence folder:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q5zvzeEMLwpKbCIPqEZgesv3YcBtnqBL


My Melbet account username is: PUT YOUR MELBET USERNAME HERE


Details of the issue:

On 10 July 2026 I received a Weekly Cashback of 667.59 SAR into my Melbet account. On the same day I contacted Melbet live support to ask if I can withdraw it. Agent Wadih confirmed clearly that the 667.59 SAR cashback is withdrawable and does not require wagering. I have a screenshot of this chat and it is also visible in the video. Shortly after that confirmation, the 667.59 SAR disappeared completely from my account without any bet or withdrawal from my side. My main balance became only 0.15 SAR. When I contacted support again, they changed their statement and said it was a bonus and expired, which contradicts the first confirmation.


What the evidence shows:

Video file is a full screen recording. It shows my account balance with 667.59 SAR cashback, then I open the cashback history, then I open the chat with Wadih where he says it is withdrawable, then I refresh and the balance is 0.15 SAR and the cashback is gone. Screenshot 1 shows the cashback 667.59 SAR credited. Screenshot 2 shows the chat with Wadih confirming it is withdrawable.


My request: Please contact Melbet and ask them to return the 667.59 SAR to my account as it was confirmed to be withdrawable before it disappeared.


Thank you,

Issue with withdrawal methods with no clarity or transparency

I had the worst experience with MelBet.

I created my account, completed KYC verification, and everything was going fine until I tried to withdraw.

I deposited $20 via Visa, and my current main account balance is $66.50. The separate $20 bonus was already lost and is not the money I am trying to withdraw.

When I tried to withdraw, the withdrawal methods applicable to my account were disabled/greyed out. I contacted customer support and repeatedly received the same answer: “technical issues,” with no specific explanation or timeframe.

I then checked another account belonging to a friend who was physically with me, and the withdrawal methods were available on his account. This made it particularly unclear why my account could not withdraw.

I contacted customer support again, and the experience was extremely frustrating. I was given no meaningful explanation or solution. During one conversation, the agent eventually hung up while I was asking her not to.

I have contacted MelBet by email and am still going back and forth trying to get a clear explanation.

All of this happened on my first day using MelBet. I have already spent approximately $10 on international calls trying to resolve an issue that should have been straightforward.

I am not asking for special treatment. I simply want to know why withdrawals are disabled on my account and what I need to do to withdraw my legitimate balance.

I will update this review if the issue is actually resolved.
