Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Germany had been experiencing cancelled withdrawals from Powbet despite clear communication with the support team. He also had issues with a €100 bonus he never asked for nor received, while the support chat was unavailable to him. After a series of discussions with the Complaints Team, they advised him to switch his withdrawal method to bank transfer. The player complied and confirmed that he had received his winnings. We thus considered the complaint as resolved.

I registered with Powbet on 04/13 and attempted to withdraw €289 on 04/14, but it was cancelled after a few days. On 04/20, following a discussion with the support team, I tried to withdraw again, but it was cancelled on 04/30.

I was told to contact the support team and find an alternative solution, but the chat is no longer available for me.

An email was sent to the support team.

It was mentioned that KYC is not necessary for my account. Also, I never accepted a bonus, but I received an email stating that my €100 bonus was granted, which never happened.

Dear Swed,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your withdrawal issue.

Please understand, that the variety and accessibility of payment methods are not managed by the casino exclusively. Several factors as the Licensing Authority, geolocation, contracts with the payment providers, and bank restrictions, all have a major influence. If a payment method was available for deposits, it doesn’t mean necessarily, that it will be offered for withdrawals too, also it can be discontinued at any time. Unfortunately, casinos are sometimes powerless and limited in offering payment methods to their customers.

  • Could you please advise if you have been informed about any alternative method to withdraw your winnings?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

I haven't been contacted yet. I can only contact them via email because chat doesn't work. I also tried to withdraw using Bitcoin, but I was told I could only withdraw in the same way that I deposited.

Hi Swed,

  • Have you been advised to place a minimum deposit to verify your new payment method, please?

Thank you.

Exactly because I had never deposited like this before I couldn't withdraw, it said in a pop up.

I then sent an email to support but have not received a response yet.

Hi Swed,

If your winnings were exclusively generated from a free bonus, unfortunately, you will be required to make a minimum deposit and verify the payment method you intend to use for withdrawing your winnings.

  • Could you please confirm whether your winnings were solely from a free bonus?

Thank you.

My bets were made without a bonus. I only received an email with a bonus but never received a bonus in my account and never requested one. However, I did receive a message from support on Wednesday saying that the finance department would contact me and try to pay out manually.

Hi Swed,

  • Is it accurate to say that your winnings of €289 originated from a real money deposit?
  • Could you specify the payment method you used to deposit funds into your account?
  • Have there been any updates regarding the manual processing attempt for your withdrawal?

Thank you.
