Been seeing mostly mixed opinions on sportsbet.io in the past. Been reading quite a significant amount of negative feedback on it though, so I really personally wouldn't use it.

This dude also ran into a problem with them in the past: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3518073.0

Anyway, have you tried contacting their support? They MIGHT be able to help. It wouldn't hurt to try. https://sportsbet.io/support

I am trying to communicate with their support staff. But they only replied to the email sent to me KYC, and then there was no news.

I'm an old user, had few problems here and there but was fixed. From my observation, experiences are different from every user because their rules changed over time.

Other ways to contact them is by posting on their thread or send a pm to their forum representative he's always active every day and maybe he could help.

Did you do KYC in their site? I think there is miscommunication between you and them. Or maybe you can complain in their thread as ralle14 mention before. You can tell with details for what you did before and makes your account frozen. I hope you can get your account back and you can solve the problem.

Why not try to PM the person above you? Its sportsbet support forum account and would resolve the issue rather than making conclusions without
doing any appropriate solutions. Sportsbet do have issues about these payouts but doesnt mean that they are fraudulent and in fact they are one of the most
trusted Sportsbook as of this moment.

Try contacting support and see what they have to say. The person few post above seems to represent sportsbet.io. His account is already tagged with negative feedback. Should have read that before depositing over there. The feedback seems to based on this thread. Go through the whole thread and you will get their explanation of blocking his account. Did you by any chance break any of their Terms of Service?

I really don't like KYC for gambling sites nor I support it by any means.

I deposited x amount, I won y amount, x+y=my withdrawal amount. Then why there is a need for KYC by blocking a user account?

If someone has broken rules then kick them out by giving their deposit back. Simple!

He's already offering help to resolve this matter.
I hope the OP will communicate with him as soon as possible before everybody is giving their own point of views.
Better directly contact them and if he's not satisfied with the support he's getting, then, he can create a thread in the scam accusations board.

I'd personally rather deposit KYC on a fiat casino than submit KYC documents to be able to deposit and withdraw crypto on a crypto-based casino. Despite the excuses some sites around here have given for it, KYC's still mostly used as a way for the casino to prevent a winner from withdrawing money in crypto- sad but true.

Contacting the site directly or on this forum is the best course of action you can take from here. Hopefully you're at least able to get your initial deposit back.

I would personally not use Sportsbet.io for this reason, because they seem to arbitrarily ask for identification.

I've always said that if a service wants identification, they need to make it clear when you deposit, and better yet, ask for your identification before you are allowed to even deposit into your account. From what I've heard sportsbet does neither, and leaves a lot of customers unsatisfied.

While I wouldn't go to the lengths of calling them a scam yet, it is quite clear that they're not to be fully trusted especially with higher amounts, as reflected by their trust score on the forum. Unfortunately the only chance of recourse right now is probably to provide the ID that they require, even though it may not be a great outcome for you, as you essentially have committed to their terms and conditions when you deposited and they'll just cite that.

Sportbet suffered to make huge withdrawals in the past as well,you can see their feedback for this settlement happened after weeks and months so this is shady behaviour in my opinion.

[dothebeats]

If we're talking about 2016-2017 sportsbet.io, I could have trusted that service/website, but if this is the recent sportsbet.io then I think I don't and won't ever be using it again due to the numerous complaints they have had for the last couple of months. They have never delayed any withdrawals in the past and has a pretty cool points system back then, but now it seems that they are slowly losing credibility and passion on what they do unlike back then. There is always nitrogensports.eu if you really like to do some sports betting (and I'm not promoting them in any way.)

Two days passed since OP wrote this thread and also @sportbet.io has been know this case but until he/she doesn't give any prospect to this case.

I just weird, is it difficult to solve a problem? Also I saw in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129981 that I think which have a small amount of btc they still haven't cleared it. And OP, how much btc which has been frozen in your account?

It's weird because we don't know what's really going on aside from OPs brief 'explanation'. Not saying OP is, but people tend to be overly aggressive with their communication when they go through these problems.

Another thing people tend to do is to send a lot of emails and open a lot of support tickets, which usually leads to a cool down period because of how most support systems flag it as spam, and this only works against people.

Instead of quickly getting a problem solved, you're making it unnecessarily more difficult for yourself. This applies to every service.

Ya it's strange that I keep seeing people posting about this website and saying it's problematic, the only thing is the people who keep posting about in general are newbie accounts with no track record, so very hard to tell what's going on.

The sportsbet.io owner did respond on several occassions as I can see, and seems to be a victim of double spending cheaters. But yeah, no proof means we have to assume innocence until proven guilty. That's how things work.

I either don't like KYC for gambling, this thing don't coordinate my habit thus I quit gambling. I am not commonly happy with KYC on any gambling platform, it should be demolished. It makes things complicated sometimes so its been great discover alternative rather been struggling.

whether they really aks KYC for withdrawing or just for "suspicious" account?
why they do not require KYC after registration and before first deposit, it will be more clear. Also, submitting KYC at the end it is not certain that this is the first owner of the account.
