The player from South Africa faced difficulty withdrawing money from the casino as they required him to pay a R5155 tax before processing his withdrawal. He had already deposited R5800.

Dear Janolive1985,

thank you for your response.

Sadly, the link you have provided confirms that OKBet Casino is not a legitimate casino and operates without any proper licensing or regulation, there is no responsible authority or organization that can force them to release any funds, winnings or return your deposits to you.

As this is a confirmed scam operation, we have no way of assisting further with the recovery of your funds. We can only recommend reporting the incident to your local law enforcement or financial cybercrime unit. While we realize this may not result in the recovery of your money, it can help raise awareness and potentially support investigations into these fraudulent platforms.

I will classify your complaint as "unresolved" in our records, which will negatively impact the casino’s rating. While this may not fully resolve your concerns, it will act as a cautionary note to other players. I strongly advise against making deposits with establishments that you have not thoroughly verified or researched for reviews in the future.

I’m truly sorry that we were unable to assist you further in this case. Please know that we are here to help should you encounter any similar issues with this or another casino in the future.

Thank you for your understanding, and I wish you the best moving forward.

Best regards,

Katarina
