The player from Greece had his account with Novibet temporarily deactivated during the ID verification process. Despite his attempts to communicate with customer service, he was not provided with a clear reason for the account deactivation or a timeline for the completion of the review. The player, whose main activity was sports betting, was in the middle of submitting the requested verification documents when the account got locked. We clarified that our forum mainly dealt with online casino-related complaints and offered to suggest websites that could help with his sports betting issues. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide further assistance in this case and had to dismiss the complaint.

Good evening, I created an account with Novibet. I received the first deposit bonus and finished the wagering requirements as expected. I continued to play as I didn’t sign up just for the bonus. During my tenure as a player, I made a withdrawal of 400 Euros. They messaged me stating that in order to complete the withdrawal, I needed to send a photo of the card I used for depositing to verify my identity. I sent it and received a message that the identification was successful; however, they needed a photo of me holding my ID next to my face and a telephone bill with the registered number I provided. I was completely willing to send these documents. I took the photo and started looking for the bill to send it. But when I tried to log into my account in the evening, I found that it had been deactivated. I spoke to live chat and asked them why my account was deactivated. They responded: "We would like to inform you that your account has been temporarily deactivated by the competent department and is under detailed review for security reasons." I asked them why this happened and they said they didn’t know as it was the decision of the competent department. When I asked how long the review would take, they told me they couldn’t tell or estimate, they refused to provide any information about my account, they didn’t even send me an email. Honestly, I don't understand what happened, why my account was closed. I kindly ask you to advise me on what I need to do to resolve this issue, or perhaps misunderstanding. I saw on your website that this specific casino had a 7.9 security score - how can such a situation occur in a secure casino? Why can't I get the money I won? Please help me resolve this issue. I have explained the issue from my perspective in detail and I am available for any clarification you may need. Thank you in advance for the time you will dedicate to my case. Thank you.

Hello, I was a player in this casino since 10 of january, and my account was locked yestarday. I asked them why was my account deactivated and they said they wanted to to do a review of the account, a check. They did not tell me anything specific so ido not have a clue why this happened. The only thing I know is that 1. I cannot get into my account and 2. They are reviewing me account for a reason I am not familiar with.
In order to accumulate the balance I played mostly sports betting.
I had the bonus, but the bonus did not help me raise my balance since I only placed bets with the real money so in the end of the waggering the ammount of the bonus has not increased, it was just added to the real balance.
They asked me 2 photos of my credit card which I sent and they said it was verified succesfully. After that they saked for a selfie with my id and a phone bill. I was about to send them but then my account was locked. The review had nothing to do with the documents since they locked it a couple of hours after asking for them. When I spoke the live chat they told me that this had anything to do with the documents. I have no idea what happened, I hope I could be more heplfull but unfortunately I cannot.

Thank you for your reply, Spi01spil. I would like to emphasize that our forum Casino.Guru deals with complaints regarding online casinos only.

However, I can recommend a few websites that might be able to help you. Please, let me know if you are interested in the list of these websites, and thank you very much for your understanding.
