Delayed verification and withdrawal on hold


On September 6th, 2023 I signed up and deposited via interac etransfer. I won and proceeded to request a withdrawal the same day for $750 as per the maximum withdrawal amount per day. I had more winnings as well but was restricted from withdrawing more pending verification.

I submitted all documentation...but after all 3 requirements showed as "accepted", I was then asked for more information regarding my bank account. I have 2 savings and 1 chequing account with the same bank. On the date I deposited, I transferred funds from my savings into my chequing as you can't send etransfer from savings.

As a result, I was asked to provide proof of ownership of the savings account that I transferred my money from....which I did. I was then asked to provide detailed transactions from when I "topped up" ( their terms) my account prior to sending etransfer. I submitted the documentation via the verification page as well as email. I sent 2 emails without a response.

I own both accounts, as a matter of fact, they're the same bank, why am I being penalized for transferring my money from one account to another?

I even provided a screenshot showing the list of accounts that I have. Chequing account, savings account, and tax-free savings account.

The dates that the documents were accepted keep changing yet it's still asking for more documentation but not what I need to submit. Despite saying 'accepted' next to all of the fields. Attached screenshots.

I would like my account to be verified so I can receive my pending withdrawal, withdraw my remaining winnings, and continue to game.

I even deposited an additional time despite having hundreds of dollars to play with. In an attempt to show the validity of my account...

After 20 days and more than 50 attach­men­ts/­doc­uments I can say my account has been verified. After losing the $1600 I had that I couldn't request to withdrawal.

This does not help. You keep requesting the same documentation. I have provided it multiple ways. You keep asking for my savings account transaction history for August and September. I have done that. It says "accepted" yet you're asking for it again. Why are you repeating requests that i have already given you? You do not explain what I'm missing. It is a detailed report, has the months requested, shows the address bar. At the top of the page it states "All transactions for the past 60 days". There is nothing omitted. It is my savings account where I keep money that accumulates interest. I also provided my chequing account that has all transactions. That was also accepted but as of today I still haven't successfully verified my account. Even though all three sections say "Accepted". I've attached every screenshot of the requests you keep asking for. I have provided all of them, multiple times, in multiple ways (screenshots and pdf form).
Waiting for this to be approved has caused my current winnings to dwindle as I cannot withdrawal anymore funds. I have a pending withdrawal from 9/6/2023 that has yet to be issued. I've also included a screenshot of that.

Payment Due Since August 25 No Payment No Response Customer Being Ignorned
iven the situation and Powbet’s continued lack of response, I have no other choice but to pursue the matter through this channel.

On 22 August, an agreement was reached with Powbet regarding a payment of a substantial amount. Powbet subsequently sent a payment confirmation stating 25 August as the payment date. However, this confirmation does not contain any verifiable information, such as a transaction number, proof of payment, or other details that would allow the payment to be verified as having actually been made.

Since 8 September, I have not received any substantive response from Powbet. In the email dated 8 September, they stated that processing might take longer because the amount involved is substantial. However, four weeks have now passed. This delay is no longer credible or reasonable, especially since Powbet has provided no clear explanation, concrete payment date, or verifiable proof of payment.

I have attempted to contact Powbet, but I am not receiving any response. Through live chat, I am repeatedly referred to email without my issue actually being resolved.

I therefore ask AskGamblers to investigate this matter and request that Powbet:

1. Provide a clear status update regarding the repayment;
2. Provide verifiable proof of payment or a transaction number;
3. Explain why the payment, which according to their confirmation was supposedly made on 25 August, has still not been received;
4. Actually process the agreed payment as soon as possible.

Delayed withdrawals and account restrictions

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am contacting you to file a formal complaint regarding Powbet Casino due to significant and ongoing delays with my withdrawals.

I had a total balance of more than €55,000 in my Powbet Casino account. From this balance, I submitted three separate withdrawal requests of 20,000 NOK each, totaling 60,000 NOK; over a month has gone by without me receiving these funds.

I have been waiting for these withdrawals to be processed for an extended period of time, but I have still not received the funds. Despite the significant amount of money involved, I have not been given a clear explanation for why my withdrawals are taking so long or when I can expect to receive them.

I would like to emphasize that I completed all verification procedures requested by Powbet Casino and, to the best of my knowledge, complied with the casino's Terms and Conditions. Therefore, I do not understand why my withdrawal requests have remained pending for such a long period.

I have contacted Powbet Casino's customer support several times in an attempt to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, I have not received a satisfactory solution, and the three withdrawals of 20,000 NOK each remain unpaid.

I am therefore asking AskGamblers to review my case and assist me in receiving the funds that I have requested to withdraw.

I have made several attempts to resolve this matter directly with Powbet Casino, but the withdrawal delays have continued without a proper resolution.

Given the substantial amount of money involved, I am very concerned about this situation. I would greatly appreciate AskGamblers' assistance in investigating the matter and helping ensure that my pending withdrawals are processed and that I am able to receive the remainder of my funds without further unnecessary delays.

Kind regards
