Unfair account closure and unjust funds forfeiture

I made a withdrawl request for $500 NZD. A couple days later received a message saying I did not have the available funds in account which in fact i did. I ts not even possible to go beyond withdrawl page if you try to exceed available amount. I request another withdrawl this time for the lesser amount of $480 to save any issues. I had at this point not submitted any documentation for verification so was expecting this to be the hold up going forward. As expected I needed to send documents in for verification which I gladly did. I was advised that I had forgotten a couple of documents which again I happily rectified. After a day or so I get another message stipulating documents were not verified. I enquired through chat as to the reasons and was told to try again, which I did. This time however for some reason the upload link was no longer working and I was unable to use this function. Was advised to submit over chat one by one which I did to no avail was told they could not be verified again. I changed browser, refresh pages, everything. I asked Mr Bet what was going on and was not given any answer apart from Refresh page and try again you have not submitted required documents?
everything according to support on chat looked perfect and acceptable when files were eventually able to go through only to hear nothing again for 4 days in regards to "pending" verification. I attempt to use spare funds on account and my account was suddenly blocked from use and was then advised I was no longer able to use my account and all winnings have become void! All this with no explanation at all and no evidence of any wrong doing.
After going back and forward and actually ringing in to the company itself I was told that I didnt provide my address in full? I have an auto fill when entering details and my address most certainly is in full. I asked for proof of this which I was refused multiple times only to be referred to MrBets TCs 3.1.3 stating misleading or false details. Have still not had any confirmation of this in any way what so ever and speaking with the person on phone apparently I had left out my street number? my actual road name? and the country? complete nonsense!

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.
