Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site

I dont know what I have done wrong, but I have again big problems with Cloudbet. On my account are 0,4858 BTC at the moment. I opened my account on March 24th and made four deposits in the first three weeks. I lost a lot at the beginning, on April 14th I made my first withdrawal request which was transfered instantly. My 0,07 BTC withdraw from 26th April was transfered after 4 days, which was some kind of strange, because Livechat and Email Support told me that I will be paid within 24 hours.
Yesterday afternoon I made a new 80 MBT withdraw which was pending until this morning. I asked how long it will take this time by email and became this email which is unbelieveable:

How could this be? Why does a Bitcoin Bookmaker asks for identity card, utility bill and Selfies? I made a Cloudbet account in March, because these verification documents are not necessary. I will not send my identity card or private pictures of me to Cloudbet. I thought Cloudbet is a serious bitcoin bookmaker, but what happened today is a big fraud in my opinion. Has anyone an idea what I can do? I just want to receive my 0,4858 BTC and say goodbye to cloudbet...

They are probably suspecting you are a customer coming to them from the united states and then tell you your not eligible to receive anymore btc from them.
This is what these online casinos usually do since they do not want to have to pay out winnings to customers and hide behind their terms of service when it caters to them in this act of withholding funds until they do their kyc/aml procedures.
This has been the case many times before and they just put this rule of not allowing residents of the US to use their casino any longer.
It works in their favor when honest customers request a withdrawal. Undecided
