Good morning,

I signed up for Betfair about a week ago and paid a total of 35 euros with paypal.

I won 148 euros playing slots and I decided to withdraw my winnings using paypal and thus renouncing the residual bonuses on sports bets.

The money has not been credited, if I connect to the site I get a technical error report. I tried to reset my password and found that the account is suspended. The only way to contact support is to send an email from within the site, so I have no way of contacting them.

I haven't received any emails from Betfair. I can't find words to define the behavior put in place.

Dear Caretta,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Have you received confirmation regarding successful account verification? Were your winnings accumulated with or without an active bonus?

I’m very sorry but could you please explain what you’ve meant by: "I decided to withdraw my winnings using paypal and thus renouncing the residual bonuses on sports bets."?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Petronela,

yesterday I was able to contact via chat Betfair. The operator told me that the account is blocked for verification and required two documents: a screenshot of the Paypal account and a bill that proves my residence in Italy. I have attached the documents to the chat, but I have no trace of what was provided to the operator in the chat.

To answer the two questions:

1) I had received an email confirming that the account was verified

2) the active bonus related to sports bets, while the winnings withdrawn related to slots wagers.

Thank you very much, Caretta, for your reply. Do I understand correctly that your account has been verified already, or those two documents are still required to complete the verification?

Hi, The two documents were requested after the block and only because I contacted the casino via chat.

If you have sent all the required documents there should be no reason for the casino to delay your verification and withdrawal. Please keep me informed.

Hi Petronela,

on 28/3 when I sent the two additional documents they told me that it took 2-5 days for verification. I will keep you informed as soon as I receive a reply.

However, blocking the account by preventing the player from viewing and collecting details on their transactions is a vexatious practice.

I fully understand your point of view, Caretta. It is not ideal but at the same time, it is not unusual. I will set the timer for additional 6 days and check back with you next Tuesday. If there's no development we will intervene. Thank you very much in advance for your patience.

thanks for the support.
