I deposited £250 and received £250 casino bonus, i checked the terms carefully to ensure i 'followed the rules'. I was lucky enough to go on to win £9250! Im a single mum of one so as you can imagine this is a lot of money to me. Novibet asked for documents from me which i summitted and they confirmed were verified, however when i went to withdraw my money i received an email saying my account has been deactivated and is under review. They havent responded to any of my emails since that on 9th february and i have no idea why they arent paying me.

Declined Withdrawal Requests

I have been requesting withdrawal from Novibet for the past few weeks and have provided everything they have requested from me in terms of KYC documents. I sent in my mobile phone number connected to my account and a picture of myself holding my driver's license. Additionally, I have provided proof of deposit for my account both through Novibet and a screenshot of the deposit from my bank and I still have yet to receive my withdrawal.

Furthermore, each time I am told that I have provided all documents, more documents are requested which just appears that the book is going through a never-ending loop to delay my payment.

I am also having trouble attaching all the documents, but I can send those by email if necessary.

3 weeks and still waiting on withdrawal

I have been waiting 3 weeks for my payment. My account is fully verified and I do not play with bonuses so there is no wagering.

I have contacted them many time, both customer support and by email and I get the same generic reply everytime "we are looking into this" or "this has been referred to the department to investigate"

They actually give no advice on what they are waiting for and don't say that its going to be processed. They money is also just gone from my account and if the withdrawal had not worked you would think it would get sent back to your account at least but it's no where to be seen.

Based on trust pilot reviews I can see this is a regular pattern with this casino and this is what they do... some people never see their winnings.

I wish I had known this before selecting this casino. I will continue to spread awareness at every platform and continue making complaints until this is resolved. I am also contacting the gaming commission to have this casino closed down if this is not resolved this week.

Reading tonnes on 1 star reviews like this is so disappointing that they are still allowed to operate and steal peoples money.

Delayed payment of 5623 euros

I deposited 1,000 euros on that page for the first time on March 10, 2024. From then on, I made a total of 3,800 euros in deposits. I managed to win in the end so that my account balance increased to 5623 euros. After this, I was set betting limits, after which I wanted to withdraw the money on 13.3 2000 euros and 14.3 3623 euros. It says on the website that withdrawals take 48 hours to process. Since then, I have been asking on the live chat several times why the money hasn't arrived. I have always received the same answers, but never the right answer. Now I've waited a week and I can't bear to go to the live chat anymore to ask because I don't get any answers there.

Casino changed the rules

I was playing gates of Novibet. Bought 15 rounds for €20. My multiplier went over 1000x the game ended with 10 spins and said I had reached the max! I questioned this and was told the max win is 5000x original bet and remaking features will be forfeited. I looked up every single rule for gates of Novibet and there was no such rule! I screenshotted every rule. They then added the rule of 5000x max original bet afterwards. I have tried to resolve this with Novibet but they said they didn’t add the rule! See below the rules of the game. The new rule has been added since then

Delayed payment of £2,000 for 2 months without any updates

I requested a payment of £2000 on 05.12.2021. After this my account was deactivated without any reason and they ask me some documents , even if the account was fully verified . Two days later I sent them all the necessary documents and waited for their respone.

I have sent over numerous messages asking for an update and each time I received the same answer saying there is no update and to be patient, even now after 2 months, which is unacceptable.

I really hope you can help me get this sorted out, this is not how a casino should operate, abusing the fact that they are not obligated to give a time frame. Thank you in advance !

Deactivated account 4 months ago and withheld £70

4 Months ago i tried to log into my Novibet account, to find a message saying i had been deactivated and contact customer support. I contacted them to be told i had to verify my ID (again, this seemed to be happening very regularly). I sent all the required documents and was told they would need to verify me through a phone call. I recieved the phone call, confirmed all my details and told they would get back to me. 4 Months down the line my account is STILL not open and they have £70 of my money in the account!

On contacting live chat and emailing - i keep getting told my account is currently under review with the security department and i will be informed when the investigation is completed. Im not even bothered that my account is closed as they have treated me unfairly, i just want my £70 back!

Withdrawal has not reached my bank as of yet

Hi,

Made a withdrawal on the 23/10/21 funds have never gone into my bank. Spoke with novibet lots of time been told they had technical problems that day and I would get the money in 8 day. Two weeks later still not had the money.

I ask them for a transaction code and they keep saying they don't have it, every time I speak to them they just ask me to wait longer and longer. Spoken with the bank they, can't find this payment. I believe it never been sent and that is why they won't provide me with the code.

It is my legal right to have this code, the withdrawal is only for a small amount but I don't see why I should allow this to happen. Is disgusting and I'm no longer happy to keep being told few more days. I suspect they asking me to wait few more days in hope I will just give up.

I have taken photos of all the chats and emails and provide proof they just keeping saying few more days few more days.

My withdrawal of £6000 is processed but no funds

I made 2 withdrawal requests totaling £6000 on Thursday 28th October and after confirming my ID etc. Received a confirmation of the withdrawals being processed on 29th October at roughly 11am.

The withdrawal has not hit my account and after checking with my bank they have confirmed that the payment would have been received by them by now if the withdrawal had been processed when stated.

I am unable to get a meaningful update from the customer service teams and fear that this will continue to drag on.

You can see that the timeline in the withdrawal email states 1 - 3 days and I have still not received my funds and I was also promised an ARN code so I could track it with my bank yesterday which again has not been provided.

In addition to this I have also had a telephone conversation where I was told the money would be in my account by Wednesday of this week at the very latest.

My casino account has been deactivated for 4 months

Greetings, my name is Tommy. Betting company Novibet sent me a message on June 15, 2021 that it has deactivated my account without explanation, they asked me to send them a photo with some documents.

On June 16, 2021 I sent them all the necessary documents and waited for their response.

On June 17 I got a message that my account is deactivated again and I have to wait for a full check!

It has been 4 months and as soon as I write them an e-mail to find out how things are, they tell me that verification is still in progress and will soon be ready, they say to be patient.

As for me, the company just stole my money without explaining any reasons!

I want my money back!
