Case summary

The player from Belgium faced a withdrawal issue with €17,000.06 withheld for over 21 days, along with a pending transaction of €500 labeled as "In behandeling." He highlighted multiple delays, including a false claim of a technical fault and a vexatious KYC request after a prior approval, which prompted him to seek intervention due to potential breaches of MGA license conditions. The complaint was resolved by confirming with the casino that the player had cancelled the pending withdrawal requests himself, and the funds had been used for gameplay, leaving no balance or pending withdrawals on the account. Consequently, the complaint was closed due to the absence of any amount left to withdraw.

1. TOTAL DELAY: 21 days since win. My 3 x€500 Bank Transfer withdrawal has been "In behandeling" for 15 days since 06/04/2026 11:42:48. Total stalling: 20+ days.


2. FALSE TECHNICAL FAULT CLAIM: For the first 15 days, Funbet Live Support repeatedly claimed "technical fault" as reason for non-payment. No evidence provided. On 21/04/2026 their agent "Michel" admitted standard processing is "3 working days" - confirming breach.


3. VEXATIOUS KYC DELAY: On 24/04/2026 16:35, AFTER my MGA complaint was filed, Funbet requested KYC documents. My KYC was already approved as evidenced by:

  - 8x prior successful Bank Transfer withdrawals to my verified account

  - Current "In behandeling" status vs "Verification Required" status

  - €17,000.06 balance visible


This re-request after 20 days + after regulatory filing constitutes deliberate obstruction under MGA license conditions.


4. ASKGAMBLERS MEDIATION: Failed UNRESOLVED 21/04/2026 13:01. Operator reason: "none".


EVIDENCE ATTACHED:

1. Screenshot: €17,000.06 balance + €500 pending 15 days - Transaction-ID 78f85f9e-018a-40a3-bc27-a5c997c22d45

2. Screenshot: Live Support "Michel" admitting 3-day standard vs 20-day reality

3. Screenshot: Funbet KYC request 24/04 after MGA filing


REQUEST:

Immediate MGA intervention for breach of license conditions 5.1 and 9.1 - unreasonable payment delays + vexatious KYC obstruction.


Operator: Funbet.com 

Username: [email address hidden by Casino Guru]

Total amount withheld: €17,000.06 


Awaiting Case # assignment for formal proceedings.

Hello Veronika,


Thank you for taking my case. Here are my answers:


1. **Have you made any successful withdrawals before?**

Yes. One successful withdrawal of €2,000 approximately 1.5 months ago. It was paid after 13 days. 

Since then: ZERO payments. Current issue is 2x €500 pending for 21+ days + €17,500 total balance now blocked. I annulate one by accident


2. **What types of games did you play to accumulate the winnings?**

Slots and Live Casino games only. No sports betting. No bonus abuse. Normal gameplay.


3. **Did you accumulate these winnings with or without using a bonus?**

WITHOUT BONUS. All deposits were real money, played without bonus, won €18500 total. 

Account currently shows "No active bonus". 


4. **Which documents were you asked to provide on 24 April? Have any been reviewed?**

I was fully verified BEFORE my €2,000 withdrawal 1.5 months ago.

Documents provided then: ID card, proof of address, bank statement.

Status: "Verified"


5. **When was the last time casino communicated regarding delay?**

Live Chat: Today 28 April. Response: "Still escalated to finance team, no timeline".

Email: No response in 21+ days despite 5+ emails sent.


**CRITICAL UPDATE TODAY 28 April 2026:**

After paying €2,000 once, Funbet has now BLOCKED all further withdrawals.

Account status: "Opnames geblokkeerd door beheerder"

Current balance held hostage: €17500 and 2 pendings of 500 and today they blocked my "withdraws"



Please mark case as URGENT. Belgian Gambling Commission will be informed tomorrow.


Thank you,

O. N.
