Removed payment option without any warning or reasonable explanation


I have been playing at Melbet almost daily for over 6 months now, and I am currently approaching VIP level in their 8-step progression (see attached), which means I have wagered over quarter of a million euro at their casino since joining. I have had no complaints or grievances with the casino in all this time; in fact, I gave them a 10 star review on askgamblers.com which I still stand by, apart from this issue which they don't seem to care about resolving. I have waited 3 days before coming to make this complaint, but feel I have little other option now because the casino are failing to provide any help on the issue via chat.

Since joining, I have used Neteller for making both deposits and withdrawals. Recently, the option to withdraw via Neteller has disappeared from the site without warning or notification, but funnily enough, the option to deposit using this method is still available - my understanding is that you must withdraw funds to the same method used for deposits - a standard condition across all online casinos. As a result, I have been able to deposit funds from my Neteller account but there's no option to withdraw, so I now have money sitting in my Melbet account for days that I cannot withdraw - of course I cannot continue to play at the casino if it's not possible to make a withdrawal anymore.

Neteller is the only viable option they have for me to make and receive payments - they don't do Skrill or Visa/Mastercard etc. I have been in touch with them in chat on a couple of occasions to explain the situation and ask them to clarify if the option to withdraw via Neteller is going to be reinstated, and am getting blunt responses that do not answer my question... so in the meantime, I am left in limbo with no assurance that anything is actually going to be done to enable me to withdraw. I would appreciate if someone from Melbet could shed some light on the situation, and perhaps answer the following questions:

1. Is the option to use Neteller to withdraw funds going to become available again, and if so, can you please give an estimated timeline when it will be available again?

2. If Neteller is not going to be returned as a withdrawal option, can you please just tell me so, and explain why (considering I have been able to use it for 6 months without any problems) - I have contacted Neteller, and from their perspective, there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to use it - all their systems are operating normally.

3. In the event that Neteller is not going to be available to withdraw anymore, how do you propose to pay me the money that's sitting in my Melbet account?

4. Why is it possible to still deposit using Neteller but not withdraw... that's nothing more than a money-trap - can pay money in but can't get paid back out!

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Thanks for your reply - if I had gotten this reply from your chat representatives when I asked them (on multiple occasions), I would not have registered a complaint on askgamblers.com!

I ended up setting up Payeer to be able to withdraw my funds, which was a bit of an ordeal with lots of back and forth by email with your security crew. However, Payeer is fairly useless to me, very high withdrawal fees (EUR5 flat charge plus 3.99% of transaction amount, and up to 5 days to process) if I want to access my money. This is in contrast to Neteller, where I can spend money from my Neteller account using my Neteller-linked Mastercard.

As a result, I have enjoyed playing at Melbet, but will not play at the site again until Neteller (or other suitable option such as Skrill, Visa, Mastercard) are available again - I will check in often to see when one of these payment options is available again.

Regards,

TheScientist

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.
