Endless KYC stalling from MEGAPARI in order to give up on your withdrawals.

[Haunebu]

After I read the whole text, the conclusion is Megapari didn't scam and you're complaining because they ask more verification.

Honestly this mean there's nothing we need to discuss about, @OP is just expressing his opinion and this doesn't harm anything as Megapari isn't a scammer. All @OP need to do is follow what Megapari ask and then tell what's the update. If you don't want to submit more KYC, you can lock this thread.

You are missing the point. He never mentioned that he was scammed and only talked about their stalling tactics and you would know how annoying it can get if you actually experienced it yourself.

This sort of stuff has become common in the crypto gambling world sadly which is why you should think twice before dismissing these complaints so casually.

[Darker45]

This is completely unfair. This shows utter incompetence and unprofessionalism on their side.

In all fairness, I was a Megapari user. I loved my experience there. They offer hundreds of markets in a single match and the odds are noticeably higher than their competitors'. When I signed up with them, they were new to the forum and they didn't have accusations as well. Also, they supported my local fiat. In other words, I never experienced any untoward incident with them. It's just a bit sad that I had to access them recently via a mirror site because their main site is inaccessible even though I'm not residing in a restricted country.

Anyway, comply properly with what they're asking. However, you can also raise your concern at the same time on public platforms where they have an official representative. It might give them a bit of pressure. And when you successfully get your funds, leave that site for good.

It's frustrating but sadly you are going to have to give them what they want, they hold all the keys right now

how much are you trying to withdraw @babobaa? you said you made $400 in profit, but how much did you deposit?
not defending their excessive KYC process or the stalling, but you might have triggered something in their risk/fraud system.

or you may be right, and they are simply stalling so you play and lose your bankroll.

I think that issue was more of a thing in the past. They recently published a report about reforms in gambling licenses, and it looks like the new rules will be stricter.

Did you mean 1xbit won't be able to scam their players anymore because the license rules are getting more strict? My point was that having a license does not really mean that the casino won't scam their players. Casinos can do whatever they want, and the license providers mostly do not really care about the complaints they get from the players.

Otherwise, we would have seen some casinos lose their license. How many cases can you refer to where the casino lost their license because of their player's complaints? I guess the number is zero. However, I don't see any reason why the casino has to ask for documents one after one. They could ask for all of them at once.

[SamReomo]

For me, having a license is just a bonus. What really matters is the reputation of the casino. While Megapari might not be super popular globally, it’s a different story in our country. I’ve seen plenty of vloggers promoting it, similar to 1xbit.

I don't know what's the matter with the OP but I was actually one of the participants of Mega Pari review campaign and throughout testing and writing of review I didn't face a single issue back then. Mega Pari at the time of writing my review was a good and trusted platform and didn't ask for any KYC details.

I believe having a license doesn't makes a casinos a reliable one as already mentioned by many members that 1xbit also had a proper registered license and yet they turned rogue and took money of gamblers. However, I haven't seen anything against Mega Pari yet, and I believe OP should contact their official representative that's available on forum to discuss his issue.

[davis196]

I don't know who is right and who is wrong in your case, OP.
If you really think that you have been scammed, the best things to do are opening a forum thread in the Scam Accusations forum on Bitcointalk and leaving negative reviews about this casino all over the internet. Maybe spreading negative reviews online would make the casino customer support to change their minds and try to solve your case. Promise the customer support, that you will remove the negative reviews as long as your case has been solved. Maybe that will work. If it doesn't work, just give up and move on(and don't deposit big amounts of money in an online casino).

Thanks for sharing this warning after which I have flagged Mega-pari as a site which would be not appropriate for my gambling affairs ^{you were referring to Mega-pari.world, right?}. After leaving Stake which required me to proceed to level 2 KYC I'm actively looking for new online places were I could continue my gambling routine, thus your warning has saved both my time and nerves.

Yes, I currently have around 2.2k USD On megapari.com At this moment mate. I have only been placing bets on their sportsbooks, if you are a winner on sports its completely different from being a winner on the casino because there is a possibility to have an edge in sports compared to casinos (long term)
this is why I believe I am usually getting the worst treatment when it comes to KYC verification.
If this doesn't get resolved I will totally do that, I appreciate the response.

No problem. My goal here is to highlight what is happening to me while going through their KYC process. What people need to understand is that this is a thing that is very common on sportbooks, where they are doing everything they can to stall the withdrawal. My goal here is to prepare people for what to come if you play on MEGAPARI like I have. I dont need to use words like "SCAM" that is subjective at this point... But if people think I am overreacting, then please explain to me why they:

1 : Take 3 days every time to review a document and only ask for one at a time? Why not ask for everything they need from me to fastforward the process? This would save BOTH parties a ton of time.

2 : Why do MEGAPARI first ask for a selfie with me holding My ID and my phone up , showing my correspondence with them to then wait 72 hours to again ask me for a selfie with me holding up a code with todays date on it? Whats the purpose here? Do yourself a favor and ask yourself if you were in their shoes.. do you think you need a second selfie like this after accepting the first one?
And if so, then why not ask for both at the same time instead of adding another 72 hours to the verification Process?

This is also just the start, I have gone through similar bad experience in the past on casinos/sportsbooks that have turned out to be very shady.

I have currently sent in the last document which was a selfie of me, holding up the code and todays date on a piece of paper. I will update on how they will respond to this, but at this point I expect the worst since they are being very unreasonable in their treatment of me already IMO.

This is about common sense people. (and I will post whatever proof you guys want me post here, all you have to do is ask. )

how did u manage to get selfie with holding ID and ur phone up showing correspondence with them  ?
technically looks impossible to do that na ?

These are just amongst one of the experience with centralized casino, they are regulated and would act in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction they are operating from. OP, you would just have to be patient with them irrespective of their stall tactics as you have said and from what I have read so far, they did not really have said to you that you will not get your withdrawals but they are only just doing what they can which is also required of them to do so they would allow your withdrawal.

Most times, one just needs to be patient to allow them exhaust every opportunity they have so that you do not look like the bad player here that they do not have anything at hand to discredit you of your money and say something different from the reality. I believe they would have to rethink and do the needful when they realize you are not failing to present to them all the documents and photos they need for their verification and when they fail to do what is expected, then it would tell on them that their reputation is at stake.

[shield132]

OP, you made a huge mistake by playing on a casino that's owned by BetB2B platform. Bet-B2B is a company that has a casino CMS and creates an unlimited number of scam casinos. You can identify them by their design because all of their casinos share the same design pattern and games. I'll give you a list of websites that are owned by Bet-B2B and have a look at them, you'll understand their design pattern.
P.S. This is the list of websites that you should avoid at all costs.

Kyc selfie Id verification is somewhat easier if either you using a selfie stick or an already snap picture while holding the IDs snapping by a third party, I think the number of time u go through such verification process I hard to get the existence of a third party to help me out with the picture process.


We can't say for sure what the real deal is with this guy issues of none success of his kyc process and why megapari of all casinos will delay to process his kyc verification process, may be there is more to this whole issues that the ops may have not mentioned to us here, but in the main time, we need to give ourselves sometimes in other not to jump into any conclusions.

this is ridiculous
in my country the bookmaker regulated ask KYC at the inscription and its enough
sometimes they just ask for source of funds but not more
only proof of adress, ID, and selfie.
but not all this bullshit requirements
crypto bookmakers should be easier than the regulated one ...
this is really sad. but thanks i dont have to bet anymore on the crypto bookies. not one are serious when u do sports betting

i mean u have only two hands... if one hands hold ur id and the other hand hold the phone with the conversation with megapari ...
how u can take a selfie
if someone take picture for u then its just a pics not a selfie anymore
its like they ask for the impossible thats so weird but im not surprise by this website, they even ask me my tax ID when i did my kyc with them. the only bookmaker who asked me that

[acroman08]

any chance you can share screenshots of the conversation you had with their support that backs up your claims? I am not saying that you are lying but it is better that your claims have evidence.

It's frustrating but sadly you are going to have to give them what they want, they hold all the keys right now

yeah, there is not much that can be done other than complain and show frustration and following their instructions even if it is a hassle and repetative if the OP want his money back.

It’s really up to 1xBit or any other casino to decide if they’ll play fair or scam their users. But here’s the thing. when regulators tighten their rules and crack down on violations, it could lead to licenses being revoked.

That’s a big deal, and it’s a great way to minimize scams. These casinos make a ton of money, but losing their license means losing everything. Even if they try to keep operating, it’ll be illegal, and authorities will hunt them down. So, stronger regulations could force them to stay legit if they don’t want to risk it all...that’s my point.

[Richbased]

Any site can reject your KYC. But I like the sites that do that almost immediately, like within 2 to 5 minutes. This has been my experience on many exchanges and gambling sites.

I am not implying that you should not stay away from such site but try to do everything they are telling you. Although, with what you have posted, it would be frustrating.

You make a mistake. Before you deposit money into any gambling account, you should read their KYC requirement first. It is very important unless you are ready to do KYC. Even if you are ready for KYC, make sure you do it before you deposit money into such site.

Exactly, doing KYC verification as soon as you register on a casino should be the first step before making deposits, so that if they don't accept the KYC documents you just discard the Casino instead of registering and absconds doing KYC then go straight to making deposits, it's risky to me because you may experience some challenges in doing KYC later especially after winning some amount of money from bets. Most casinos are very dubious so it's better to do KYC earlier to avoid any touching story later on.

I got your point. But we are talking about scam tactics here. I asked if I had ever seen a casino license revoked because they were trying to scam their players. The regulators will not revoke their licenses because they do not accept player complaints. They don't take any legal action against the casino even if they accept. At least, I never heard such a thing.

My other point is that no matter how hard the KYC process is and how many documents they need to verify a user, they could ask for all the documents in one message. But when a casino asks for one document every 72 hours and continues several times, how do you see that?
