In mid-December I made a deposit at Betzest in the amount of 1000 euros (expressly without bonus / other).
I also wanted my subsequent winnings of 1,800 euros (including the deposit) paid out in mid-December. After an unspeakable verification process (umpteen documents including a selfie with my ID), I initiated the payment again.
After several attempts (without any information, the money was booked back to my player account again and again) via Visa, I received the information via the chat that this is currently not possible due to updates or an MGA license. I was not offered a solution.
Since around Christmas I have been refused the payment of my credit or made impossible. The chat keeps putting me off without offering a solution.
I am desperate and am now afraid that I will never see my money again and that I have been cheated by Betzest.
Player name is Arjen75 and email address jdebus@gmx.de
Thank you for your support

Dear Jörg,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your bad experience. Please allow me to ask you a few questions so that I can understand what the issue is. Did you complete the KYC process successfully? The only issue seems to be that the casino is not able to process your withdrawal request through VISA, right? Would you be willing to choose another payment method to receive your winnings? Bank transfer, Neteller, or Skrill are listed between other withdrawal options. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Petronela

Hello Petronela,
what is the KYC process? If this means the verification process, it has been successfully completed.
It doesn't matter which payment method I use to get my money. However, Betzest no longer offers any payment options.
Best wishes
Jörg Debus

As can be seen in the screenshots, the casino does not offer any withdrawal options; only MuchBetter as the only deposit method

Dear Sir,
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We are in process of moving to MGA license and we have to change all our wallets,
thus we experienced some delays in payments during this transition period.
Our financial team is working to fix this and to execute a full payment to your account asap.
We are again very sorry for the inconvenience
Kind regards

I've been listening / reading this for days / weeks!
No solution is offered; you can only deposit but not withdraw. What is the principle?
There is also no period until when the problem will be solved; In addition, the casino already has the MGA license.
What do you think of Petronela from Casino Guru?
I have little trust and understanding at the moment.

As you can see in our site, only the Muchbetter method is available.

Rest assured your funds are safe with us and in a couple of days the funds will hit your account
Thank you once again for your patience and understanding
Kindest regards,

Why can't you simply transfer my credit to me via Muchbetter?

Betzest Casino, please could you advise, if transferring player’s credit to his Muchbetter account would be an option. If not, please update this complaint as soon as there is another suitable withdrawal option available. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Dear Sir,
The Muchbetter method is viable only for deposits at the moment, in order for our players to at least have the option to play.
Currently there is no available method to withdraw whatsoever, but as we mentioned, in a couple of days this will be resolved.
We are doing everything to speed up the process
We thank you for your patience and understanding

There are now a few days of rum and still nothing has changed in the very unsatisfactory situation of refusing to pay out.
How do you justify that this process takes such a long time - here several weeks, when you as a player do not get your money? Which hurdles have to be overcome with something like this?
Why do you offer players the opportunity to deposit money that they cannot get back (and have not had for a long time)? Please explain to me why deposits do not fall under licensing processes.
Please tell me a binding time frame until when I will get my money. "In a few days / Soon / We will write to you as soon as possible" is too general and non-binding for me.
What gives the player the security that my / our money is safe with you? Here too please give a reason.
We're talking about funds that you don't pay out, that your players lack in everyday life. How do you deal with that?
@Petronela: Have you ever had such experiences from your expertise - is it common and not an unusual process for casinos to refuse the withdrawal process for weeks? What legal options do players have here (besides the involvement of the MGA?)

Dear Jörg,
I can only imagine how challenging the whole situation must be for you. I have never experienced a similar situation. We have closed temporarily the Betzest Casino on our website, until the problem with withdrawal options will be fixed. We don’t want anybody else to experience the same issue as you are.
@Betzest Casino, I also understand that this is a difficult time for you as the company, but please would you suggest any kind of a compensation for the player as this is truly an undesirable situation. In the meantime, I will leave this complaint opened and wait for you to update it, as soon as the withdrawal problem is fixed. Hopefully everything will be settled soon. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

All (extensive) details were sent to Betzest yesterday and confirmed by Betzest.
Nothing is still visible in my player account, let alone initiated a payout.
As soon as the money has appeared in my bank account, I will of course report. Unfortunately, this is currently not the case.

The payment has now actually been made.
Sorry for the late reply, but I don't want to have anything to do with online casinos anymore.
After this bad experience with Betzest, I simply have the ... full.
You deposit money and then you are dependent on the arbitrariness of an online casino without getting your money or profit back.
Only after weeks (and countless contacts including complaints !!!) was my profit paid out.
Never again!!! I can only advise all players against online gambling (a. Illegal and b. Complete reliance on anonymous casinos).
That was a lesson to me!
Thanks for your engagement Casino Guru - Thanks for the priceless bad lesson Betzest!
