Novibet Casino Complaints
Novibet Casino Complaint Stats
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.
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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.
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!
On the 23/8/21 I was told me account was deactivated for security reasons and I needed to provide extra ID, which I duly sent across.
On the 25/8/21 I was told my account has been deactivated and is currently under review by Novibet security department.
I have repeatedly messaged to find out why since then but have just been told that this takes time.
We are now 5 weeks on from the original Email, which seems to me ample time to know what is going on.
I have screenshotted the Emails and saved the Novibet Terms and Conditions.
I have scanned through them and have not breached any of the Terms set out, so I cannot understand what this is about.
There was over 1k in my account at the time of deactivation.
Please let me know if you need any screenshots.
Kind regards,
Robert
I didn’t break any t and Cs and provided everything they asked for yet they’re still stalling and replying the same thing to all my emails.
Despite, having already successfully passed KYC verification prior to playing, after a few days of waiting I was told to send in further documents, which included selfies with ID and card pictures. I sent this in and it was verified, and then I was told my account was locked for an investigation. This was well over two weeks ago and I still haven't been paid. The casino is using deliberate stalling tactics to prevent me from getting paid, I want to access my money at once! I can see they have tried these poor tactics with other players too, based from the reviews.
This occured on Aprir 23 and i gathered the needed documents and photos and sent them to them on 17 of May. The next day i received an email from the company telling me that "the account has been deactivated temporarily and that it is under research for security reasons". I waited 2 weeks and i contacted the company again via email to ask them what is going on with the investigation, only to receive their relpy telling me that "the procedure is time-consuming and they cannot tell me exactly when to expect the whole situation to end. Since then i have tried numerous times to contact them via their live chat and they keep telling me the same excuses such as "the procedure is time consuming" and "you cannot contact the responsible department to find any information about the situation and your only option is to wait" .
Its pretty absurd that it has been over almost 4 months for novibet support to check 3 photographs and from my perspective there isnt a whole lot more i can do. I have complied with everything they asked me to do and provided every single document they needed. If you need any more verification documents or any further information i am glad to provide them. I really hope you can help me get this sorted out, thanks a lot in advance.

Nothing happened until May 1st when i was asked to provided a selfie and a mobile phone bill which i did same day. Since then my account is locked and all that they will tell me is that my account is locked for security purposes for a routine check.
They have now held my money for 101 days. With no communication as to what is going on. This is not how a casino should operate.
After seeing that my withdrawal is not getting processed, i sent them an email asking why. I received a response on the same day saying "Your is under process by the responsible department".
After another week, noticing a huge amount of confiscation stories on the internet in regards to Novibet, on April 8th, i sent a complaint email and demaning my withdrawal to be processed as my account is verified. After 12 days i received a response, saying "We would like to inform you that your account has been temporarily deactivated and your withdrawal cancelled". They are also asking for another verification on top of my fully verified account. They are asking for official document that my phone number is mine, which there is no possibility for me to provide as there is no such thing with my sim phone number.
According to the gambling comission this violates the UK rules as well: "When the gambling company is checking your identity for another reason, it can freeze your account until it has confirmed who you are. There is no time limit how long it can do this for. However, if you have asked to withdraw funds from your account, the company must not demand that you provide additional information as a condition of releasing those funds."
Even though they are going against the comissions rule to keep money, I sent them what they were asking for, and they proceeded to close my account for "routine investigation" which takes place for an indefinite amount of time. It has been two months now. As i see, they are doing this to way too many people and mostly they conclude with an unjust confiscation. Surely they can't do this until the client passes away.
After a week they now have responded with the following -
1. Please send a selfie with your ID (ok thats fine I can take that is is becoming normality now)
2. An official document that proves your registered number belongs to you?
- Sorry but I own a pay as you go sim card for starters, and why does this have any relevance on my withdrawal?
I want to make this known to the community as it's just becoming totally ridiculous the levels these companies are going through to delay payments and encourage gambling, as yet again my balance has also been returned to use!!!!!
Thanks
If you need any supporting documents, verification or emails please let me know and I really hope you can help me get this sorted out. Thanks
Claimed the 100% 250 pounds sign up bonus and played through it. 2423.71 was my final balance which i immediately withdrew.

29/03/2020 - After numerous times going onto live chat to ask about the withdrawal I sent them an email to complain about why its taken so long.
29/03/2020 - I received this:
Thank you for your message.

Attached is a time line of my deposit and withdrawal.
Thank you for any help in this matter as its been a long time now and they seem to be stalling on paying me.
Novibet Casino have not paid me and it has been 5 weeks.
I managed to win £1,200 on their slots. Novibet asked for documents, and a phone call which I provided.
They accepted this, and I withdrew the money on 22 February 2020 - over 5 weeks ago. Please see my screenshot attached.
However I have not received the money it remains in my account; offering me to reverse this withdrawal. See screenshot.
I have asked on 4 occasions when I will receive my money. Each time I have been told that it will be sent. It has been 5 weeks. See screenshots.
NoviBet receive deposits but they are now not processing withdrawals to customers. They clearly do not have the money to pay clients.
Thank you for your assistance Ask Gambler.
Above documents attached.
Claimed the 100% by depositing £250. At the end of wagering i had £6707 and placed two withdrawals one for £4000 and £2707. (did not allow one withdrawal)
It has now been three weeks and no clarity has been given as to when money will be sent to me. I have emailed multiple times asking when winnings will be sent to me. Then receive the following comments,
"We would like inform you that your withdrawals requests are under process by the responsible department." Mar 14, 09:46
"We would like to inform you that we do not know the exact time span as it depends upon the workload of the responsible department." Mar 14, 09:57
"We would like to inform you that your withdrawal has not been completed yet by the responsible department , as soon as it gets completed you will be informed via email ." Mar 21, 15:48
"We would like to inform you that there is no specific time frame, as soon as there is any update you will be informed via email." Mar 21, 17:10
I have attached several images to this complaint showing all email communications from Novibet and also screenshots of deposits and withdrawals instigated.
Three weeks has passed now and I am unsure as to when or if this money will even be sent as the email replies being received are vague at best.
Thank you for your time.
On 19th February 2020 I won some money on Novibet. I then attempted to withdraw money at which point I was asked to provide some documents for KYC. Account was fully verified on 10th March 2020 at which point I was informed the withdrawal would be processed.
After waiting for more than 2 weeks the withdrawal has still not been processed, and live chat has provided no information at all apart from that they will "pass the information on to relevant department".
After reviewing this site it appears that this is commonplace for this outfit. I would like a definitive date as to when the withdrawal will be processed. I don't feel like I am asking for much after 16 days of waiting.
I signed up to Novibet on 19/02/2020 ( Nearly 5 weeks ago ) I was asked to submit my documents straight away via email to verify my Novibet account and make a depsoit. I did this via email and very quickly emailed back saying -
" Congratulations for the successful verification of your account!
You can now enjoy all the promotions and take advantage of all the features of your account with the safety and reliability offered by Novibet "
So now my account was verified i made a deposit of £180 and claimed the welcome offer so i received an £180 bonus. I played a few slots and ended up clearing the wagering requirements and making a withdrawal of £3303.
I was then emailed for me to send in my bank card pictures which i did, I was then told i need to do a phone call verification which again i did. All this after my account was already verified which novibet confirmed via email before i made my depsoit ( see above ).
5 minutes after my phone call with Novibet i got this email -
"Following our discussion over phone we would like to inform you that your account has been deactivated and is currently under review by Novibet security department.
You will be informed by the company on any update regarding this case, when the investigation is completed "
This was on the 24th Febuary. THis confused me so much as i had done eveything asked for so what on earth are they reviewing here? Well 4 weeks later and maybe 10 emails i am getting the same answer from these guys every time saying.......
Dear courtswinner,
Thank you for your email.
We would like to inform you that your account is still under review by Novibet security department.
These kinds of processes are time consuming and there is not an exact time frame that we can provide you with.
As soon as there is an update, you will be notified via email.
They do not say anything else in the emails just this. It is 2020 how can a casino treat a customer like this. They dont even enter into a conversation with me. Please can someone help and explain to this casino this is not ok. I just want my winnings to be paid so i can move on! Nearly Five weeks is a very long time i do not know what to do this is so much money here.
I made a withdrawal on 3/11/2020 6:11:52 PM, and when I check my account it has not even been processed and it is still possible to cancel this withdrawal. I have not received any contact from Novibet during this time and when I contacted their live chat I was given no definite answers when the withdrawal would be processed and was told it was due to a "heavy workload" from the payments department. Coincidentally, I can see previously another user having a similar issue to myself on askgamblers website and again this was blamed on a "heavy workloÂad."Â(hÂttpÂs:/Â/wwÂw.aÂskgÂambÂlerÂs.cÂom/ÂcasÂinoÂ-coÂmplÂainÂts/ÂnovÂibeÂt-wÂithÂdraÂwalÂ-tiÂmes). I am concerned as 5 days just to process a withdrawal is excessively slow and then addition to this I need to wait 3 to 5 days for the money to be received following the processing.
I would like to know a definitive time when this withdrawal and my other withdrawals will be processed?
For clarification, I received an email informing me that my account had been verified on 11/03/2020.
