Case summary

The player from Kazakhstan faced withdrawal issues at Osbet due to a requirement for SMS verification for a phone number that had never been verified during account creation. He believed that the casino should have provided an alternative verification method since his Russian number might not have received SMS codes, and he was willing to verify his identity through other means. We communicated with the casino and learned that the player was unable to complete verification at that time due to a health issue. The casino remained ready to proceed once the player submitted the required documents. Due to the player's lack of response over an extended period, the complaint was closed without resolution at that time.

I registered an account at Osbet and made deposits in good faith. This casino does not require phone verification at registration, so I was allowed to create the account, deposit, and play without confirming my number by SMS.

The issue appeared only later, at the withdrawal stage, when the casino started requiring a verification code to a phone number that had never been verified in the first place. I do not receive any SMS code on that number.

One important point here is that my number is Russian, and it is entirely possible that messages from the casino simply do not reach it due to technical delivery issues, country-related restrictions, routing problems, or the casino’s SMS provider not reliably supporting Russian numbers. This is not something I can control. If the casino accepts players who may use Russian phone numbers, then it should also have a working and fair verification alternative when its own SMS system does not deliver the code.

What makes this especially unfair is that the casino does not require phone verification when creating the account, but later uses the phone number as a strict withdrawal barrier. If phone verification is truly essential, it should have been required before deposits and gameplay were allowed. Instead, the casino accepted my registration and deposits first, and only afterwards made withdrawal access dependent on an SMS code that I never receive.

It is also important that part of my withdrawals was already processed through email verification. This shows that the casino itself previously accepted email-based verification as sufficient. After that, however, I was blocked because of the phone number issue, while still not being allowed to change or correct the number.

So the situation is the following:

Osbet does not require phone verification at registration;

I was allowed to register, deposit, and play without confirming my number;

now the casino requires SMS verification only at the withdrawal stage;

I do not receive the SMS code, possibly because the number is Russian and delivery may fail for technical or regional reasons;

the casino does not allow me to change the number;

some withdrawals were already approved through email verification.

I am not refusing verification in any way. I am fully ready to verify my identity through email, documents, video verification, or any normal KYC method. I am only asking for a reasonable solution instead of being locked out because of an SMS code that never arrives to a number that was never verified when the account was created.

I ask Casino Guru to review this as an unfair verification and withdrawal obstacle and to ask Osbet to either allow me to update my phone number or offer an alternative verification method.
