Stalling my withdrawal since February 2025 unfair and fraudulent KYC Practices


1 year ago

Date of First Withdrawal Request:

16th February 2025

Issue Summary:

I have been trying to withdraw my legitimate winnings (€2,000) from Mr.Bet Casino since February 16th, 2024, but they continue to stall the process under the guise of KYC verification. I have provided over 10 different official documents, yet they keep rejecting them without valid justification, creating an endless loop of unnecessary requests.

Documents Provided (All Showing My Official Address & Identity):

Official Government Residence Certificate (Rejected)

Selfies with Documents (Accepted)

Full Tax Return from Iceland Government (Rejected)

Payslips from my Full-Time Job (Accepted?)

Bank Statement (Rejected)

Credit Card Ownership Statement from the bank(Rejected)

Debit Card Statement from the bank(Rejected)

Employment Contract from My Employer (Accepted?)

Health Ensurance Statement (Rejected)

Housing Benefits Statement (Rejected)

Proof of Address from Government of Iceland(Rejected)

Skrill Account Screenshot for Payment Verification (Accepted?)

Despite submitting official Icelandic government documents showing my residence and tax payments, they continue to claim they cannot verify where I live, which is completely unreasonable.

Evidence of Stalling Tactics:

Continuous Document Rejections – My Mr.Bet messages dashboard is filled with repeated messages of “Document Rejected” since February 16th (see attached screenshot).

Unjustified Document Requests – At one point, they even asked me for proof of company ownership, despite my account being personal, and I have never owned a company.

Robotic & Unhelpful Responses – Their support team sends copy-paste responses without addressing the specifics of my case. They keep saying, “Verification is in progress,” yet provide no real justification for rejecting my official government documents.

Third-Party KYC Provider Confirms Mr.Bet is Responsible:

I contacted Sumsub, the third-party KYC provider used by Mr.Bet, and they confirmed that Mr.Bet itself is solely responsible for the verification decisions. This confirms that Mr.Bet is deliberately abusing the KYC process to stall or avoid payouts.

Suspicious License Status:

I also discovered that Mr.Bet is operating without a fully issued license from the Curacao Gaming Authority. Their certificate status is "Awaiting License Issuance," meaning they are not fully licensed to operate.

Skrill’s Involvement & Possible Endorsement of Mr.Bet:

It is alarming that Skrill actively promotes Mr.Bet on its app’s homepage under the section “Pay Online” with the subtitle “Visit our partners and deposit with Skrill.” This implies Skrill is endorsing Mr.Bet, even though the casino is actively stalling payments to customers.

Resolution Requested:

Immediate Approval & Processing of My €2,000 Withdrawal.

An Official Explanation from Mr.Bet on Why My Government-Issued Documents Were Repeatedly Rejected Without Cause.

If My Funds Are Not Released, I Will:

File formal complaints with Curacao Gaming Authority, Skrill, Visa, and relevant consumer protection agencies.

Escalate legal action for unfair business practices and fraud.

This is not just about my case. Mr.Bet’s actions set a dangerous precedent for players who are at risk of similar scams. If they can get away with this behavior, other casinos will follow suit. This needs to be investigated, and AskGamblers should not let such practices continue unchecked.

Supporting Evidence Attached:

Screenshots of my Mr.Bet dashboard (showing repeated document rejections since February 16th).

Email exchanges with Mr.Bet support (showing robotic responses and their refusal to accept official documents).

Screenshots of my emails asking for verification completion.

Skrill App Screenshot Showing Mr.Bet Promotion.

This is a clear case of a casino stalling payouts through unfair KYC abuse.

Dear Micheleddd,

we are sincerely regret that verification took a little longer than usual. However, earlier documents were rejected because they did not fulfil the requirements. Today you have uploaded correct documents and verification has been successfully completed.

One withdrawal request is already successful. Today you have also created new withdrawal requests. The payment processing time on our side is usually up to 48 hours, but we do our best to make it faster.

We are grateful for your cooperation and will always be ready to help you if you have any questions.

Mr. Bet Casino - Withdrawal delayed
I wanted to share my experience with Mr.Bet Casino because the way they are handling my withdrawal is becoming seriously concerning.

I requested a withdrawal of $4,500 NZD around 70 hours ago. Mr.Bet's website states that withdrawals are processed within up to 48 hours, so we're now well beyond their own advertised timeframe.

I've contacted support multiple times and they've been extremely unhelpful. They won't provide any meaningful explanation for the delay and, despite the withdrawal already exceeding 48 hours, they've refused to escalate it.

What makes this even more frustrating is the verification situation.

Support has told me that my account may need to be verified when they process the withdrawal. That's completely fine - I'm more than happy to provide whatever documents they need.

Because verification apparently has another processing timeframe of up to 48 hours, I've repeatedly asked them to open verification on my account now so I can get it completed while I'm waiting.

They've refused.

So I'm effectively sitting here waiting indefinitely for the withdrawal, knowing they could eventually decide verification is required and potentially add another 48-hour delay - despite me actively trying to complete it in advance.

The whole situation leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. When a casino holds a withdrawal beyond its advertised timeframe, refuses to escalate it, warns that verification might cause another delay, and then won't actually let the customer complete that verification proactively, it's difficult not to question why.

It creates the impression that the withdrawal is being unnecessarily delayed while the money remains within the gambling platform, where there's always the possibility that a customer cancels the withdrawal and gambles it away.

I'm not claiming I can prove that's what Mr.Bet is intentionally doing, but their handling of this withdrawal certainly makes me concerned about it.

At this point it's been 70+ hours for a $4,500 NZD withdrawal that they say should take up to 48 hours, and support seemingly has no interest in resolving or escalating it.

I'll update this post with what happens next, including how long it ultimately takes to receive the money and whether they suddenly request verification after making me wait this long.
