Account Closed & Winnings Withheld Unjustly

Von tdizzle24

Hello

After recent correspondence via LiveChat with betway regarding my account, I feel that I have been harshly treated and this company has acted in a dishonourable way and a degree of sharp practice has been exercised.

I opened an account in good faith on the 13/02/2015. I deposited in good faith and was allowed to place bets until Monday the 16/02/2015 when I tried to access my account but was not allowed. I came on Live chat and was told I have a duplicate account which is fine as I did not remember and the agent I spoke to who was said he will arrange for my account (tdizzle24) to be opened and close the other account he stated as a duplicate within 30 minutes.

I checked my account after 30 minutes and could not gain any access and then contacted support via Live chat. I was then told my account has been transferred to the operations team and the chat was closed on me.

I came on Live chat again and then was told by another agent that my account is with the operations team and this may take about 24 - 48 hours.

On Tuesday 17/02/2015, I contacted Live chat and an agent said I self excluded my self which is why I was unable to gain access (There is no proof or evidence about my exclusion on this account). He also ended the chat session in a rudely manner.

My main fact of this query is that Betway have taken the winnings. They stated that I have a duplicate account, so why not just close one of them instantly!!, instead I have been allowed to operate my account as normal and then all correspondence since has been contrary to this, would we be having this dispute if none of my bets had won?. This in my eyes is sharp practice and the way I have been treated leaves a lot to desire.

BETWAY let me open account
let me deposit money
let me have bets
then tell me I was self excluded when quite clearly this is a lie/incorrect.

I feel I have been hard done by and there have been attempts to mislead me in this matters. Betway have acted totally unprofessional and deceived me during the duration of this account.

I have proof and can attach screen shots of my account showing the winnings I had before it was closed, operations such as bets made on the account and conversations had on Live chat if required.

Regards,

Hi Tolulope,

We hope you are well.

After an extensive investigation into your account, these were our findings:

Your initial account was created on 13/11/2014 with the username, solja02. Due to the activity picked up by the Traders, a limit was sent on your account. You had then created a duplicate account, which is in breach of our T’s & C’s.
Thus, the same limitation was applied to the duplicate account, your winnings removed and your deposit refunded.

We can confirm that you have been informed of this via email back in 2015.

Please let us know if you would like to be contacted in order to follow-through with the resolution of your complaint.

Regards,
The Betway team

Hello,

There has been no updates as it stands. I was informed that I would receive my initial deposit back but they also haven't sent this amount of £90 which I was allowed to bet with.

This is part of their deceit and unprofessional ism and this also shows why they have not yet responded.

I am owed £1000 of winnings and I should be paid by BETWAY however like they do to other customers, they have also confiscated my winnings using the act of sharp practice.

Betway - Account geschlossen

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe mich bei betway.com registriert und mit Paysafecard, Neteller und Muchbetter eingezahlt.

Also ich ca. 600 Euro gewonnen hätte, wollte ich auf Muchbetter und Neteller auszahlen.

Ich habe alle geforderten Unterlagen von Betway eingereicht. Nach mehrmalige Nachfragen wurde mir nun mitgeteilt, dass das Konto gesperrt wurde und der Betrag eingehalten wird. Ich habe nachgefragt ob ich weitere Unterlagen für die Verifizierung einreichen kann, aber keine Reaktion mehr von Betway.

Könnten Sie mir bitte helfen?

Grüße
Frank

Betway purposely delaying withdrawal

So I have been waiting since 24th jan for my withdrawl to be processed and yet still have no recieved my funds.

The amount is £20,668.52

I have been sent around in circles being told one thing than another.

I sent documents and was told i was successfully verified.
But the withdrawl was still delayed.

An agent then was really helpful and requested a timeframe seems it was already overdue.

I was then sent a link to yet again verify. Which did not work.

I waited days for another link which worked and I did It right away.

Now Im back to sqaure one of being told to wait which I do then told to wait longer again.

Now today my account has been locked. So I asked this morning why and was told although its not yet being reviewed it can be closed during review...
So which is it I ask?

Though the next agent then told me it was locked due to concerns on chat which is absurd.

The only thing I can possibly feel that is being excused as a reason for concern is that I agreed with agents who said it is frustrating and said it is causing me stress, which it would any normal person being messed around with inconsistent information.

No consumer is happy about funds being withheld for no valid reason.

The agent then closed the chat on me which I think is disgustingly rude.

Under the Gambling Commission rules and the Consumer Rights Act 2015, players have the right to withdraw deposited funds and winnings at any time without unreasonable delay or restriction.

I would most certainly say this has been unreasonable. I sent all my documents for verification right away and its been delayed as much as possible, using any reason they can come up with.

I have all chats screenshotted but haven't uploaded due to the large amount.

Not pay and live chat does not exist

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Betway regarding a persistent failure to process my withdrawal request and the total absence of legitimate customer support. As a registered user, I have followed all established protocols for fund withdrawal, yet the platform has failed to uphold its contractual obligations and regulatory standards.

1. Failure to Process Payments
I have a significant balance in my account that I have attempted to withdraw. Despite my account being fully verified and having met all necessary wagering requirements, the payment remains "pending" or has been cancelled without a valid explanation. This constitutes a direct violation of the terms and conditions regarding the timely disbursement of player funds. It is deeply concerning that a platform of this scale is withholding legitimate winnings from its users.

2. Non-Existent Live Chat Support
Betway advertises a Live Chat feature as a primary means of resolving urgent issues. However, after numerous attempts to access this service, I have found it to be completely non-functional. The link either leads to a dead page or places me in an infinite loop within the "Help" section. A gambling operator must provide real-time assistance, especially when financial transactions are involved. The fact that the Live Chat is "invisible" or perpetually unavailable is deceptive and prevents players from seeking immediate help.

3. Automated Email Responses (Bot Interference)
Furthermore, I have attempted to resolve this through their official contact emails. Every communication I have sent has been met with a generic, automated response generated by a bot. These replies do not address my specific concerns and offer no path to speak with a human representative. This "wall of automation" is a tactic used to frustrate users and avoid accountability. There is a total lack of transparency and professional oversight in their communication department.
PD: I used ia because dont speak inglish thenkiu for you help

Refund Not Paid After 7 Days

I received an email from Betway Support stating that my deposit would be refunded due to alleged issues with my account ("verification process" took 2 weeks as well which is unbelievable). However, it has now been seven days since that message, and I have yet to receive the refund. This delay seems excessively long. I ask Betway to provide an update on the status of the refund.

"We trust you are well.

We write to advise that a review of the account has now been completed by the Operations Department.

After careful consideration, a decision has been made to issue a refund, as per the amount shown below.

Refund: 300 EUR

Note: the refund amount has been calculated on total deposits minus total withdrawals – therefore placing you in the same financial position immediately before the account registration.

Please note this account will remain closed."

Delayed Withdrawal By repeating asking proof of ownership of my cards

AskGamblers Team,

I need your help regarding a delayed $3,000 CAD withdrawal from BETWAY initiated on January 14, 2025. Despite providing all requested documents, including statements and verification for my payment methods, the casino has yet to process my withdrawal.

As a loyal customer with a history of significant transactions, I find the repeated requests to prove card ownership unreasonable, especially when I’ve already submitted the required evidence.

Please assist in resolving this issue promptly. I can provide further details if needed.

Betway withdrawal not paid

Withdrawal says it’s been paid since Dec 17 I have received no emails no nothing and was apparently paid after I had to change my payment method to receive it and still nothing it’s been months now and there is 0 communication. It’s so hard to try to talk to them I’ve tried everything and now I’m starting to think it’s just not going to show up.

I will appreciate it if you look into it and withdraw my wins to my bank connected to my Betway account.

Thank you

Betway not processing my withdrawal and its been three days now with no help

Hi,

I have been waiting for Betway to pay my withdrawal for over 3 days now.

My account is verified and I have been advised there is no issues with the withdrawal and to expect it “soon”.

I have been in contact with customer support everyday to find out what the delay is but I just get told the same thing every time and that is to just be patient.

As per their T&C’s it states they aim to process within 24 hours unless there is an issue? Again which I have been told there is no issues.

The payment was approved to be released on the 16/9 @ 14:00. This was 9 hours after I had submitted the withdrawal.

I have contacted them numerous times and I seem to be getting nowhere now and I just want them to send the payment.

I don’t understand how it can take them so long but other operators hours to pay? How do they expect customers to come back and play after treating them like this?!

Withdrawal not paid but says paid on their website

Hi,

I withdrew money from the app and it processed, it got to the point where I got a text of my passcode to use for my upcoming money transfer, however a week has passed and I have yet to receive the money to use the code. On their end it has been saying I’ve been paid. I tried reaching out to their live chat but I only get automated bots to chat with, and their withdrawal tracker is not very helpful as it does not update at all.
