Case closed

Case summary

The player from Russia faced an issue with his casino account being blocked during the KYC process after submitting a driver’s license selfie and address PDF, resulting in automatic logout. We marked the complaint as resolved because he later recovered his funds after filing a formal request with the licensing authority. The casino then unblocked his account only to allow withdrawal of the remaining balance and said the account would be closed afterward. The block was explained as having been caused by confirmed arbitrage betting violations, not by the verification documents.

  • I was betting on esports, and I had successfully made withdrawals before.


  • When I signed up, I was told that verification wasn't mandatory for withdrawals but could be requested at any time; I asked if there were any issues with me being from Russia, and they said everything was fine.


  • Everything is filled out correctly—dates, name, and so on. Over the past year, we’ve had internet issues in Russia, so I sometimes have to use proxies and VPNs, but support never told me that I could be penalized for doing so.


  • Support cited the specific points for which I was blocked, but the wording is so vague that any account could be blocked on those grounds.


  • A funny detail is that they asked me to retake the selfie several times, and the moment the agent said in the chat that the photo was clear, my account immediately logged out.


i sent you on email document containing the Minebit chat

Hello, all.

In addition to the complaint filed here, I also submitted a formal request to their licensing authority. I received a response today and was able to recover my funds. I consider the dispute resolved; the licensing authority ruled in my favor, which I believe is fair. Below is the reply I received today.



Hi,


Thank you for contacting Minebit Support.


Dear Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. Team,

 

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Please find below our official response to the complaint submitted by Mr. Maksim Tolstykh.

 

We have thoroughly investigated this case and would like to provide the following clarification:

 

Account Status and Withdrawal

We would like to inform you that the player's account has been temporarily unblocked solely for the purpose of withdrawing funds. The player has been notified and is now able to request withdrawal of the remaining balance. Upon completion of the withdrawal process, the account will be closed in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

 

Reason for Blocking

The player's account was blocked due to identified violations of our Terms and Conditions. Specifically, the player was found to be systematically placing arbitrage bets on sporting events, which is strictly prohibited.

 

Provider Confirmation

The violation was confirmed by our betting data provider. This confirmation served as the basis for our decision to close the account.

 

Additional Clarification Regarding the Dispute

We would also like to address the player's claim that the block occurred during the KYC process. While it is true that the account was under verification at the time, the decision to block was based solely on the betting activity itself, not on the verification documents. The player's documents were reviewed, and no issues were found regarding identity verification.

 

Current Balance

At the time of the block, the player's balance was 449.69 USD. The remaining balance available for withdrawal at the time of the unblock is 449.69 USD.

 

Conclusion

We consider this matter closed, as the player has been given the opportunity to withdraw their funds, and the violation has been confirmed by the provider.

 

Yours sincerely,

The MineBit Security Team
