Hello!

I am new to Megapari and have been using them for a few Weeks now. I am a gambler with over 50 different sites used over the last 5 years.

I made a bad decision to put too much money into this site that I noticed later had a bad reputation with a lot of customers (based on what I've read on various sites and forums) so I am a bit nervous about what is going to happen now when I try to make my first withdrawal and when I see how they are asking for multiple and extensive documents compared to any standard that I have experienced. What I have done so far is just to play on their sportsbook and I have been limited there after around maybe 400 USD in profit ( hence why I am now making a withdrawal.)

I am worried because I already see the signs of them stalling while I continue to send in documents. My own theory regarding this is that they do this in order for people to have enough time to spend their bankroll and lose it all back meanwhile they are frustrated and waiting for their endless verification process. I challenge anyone that thinks otherwise to show me that shady Sportsbooks are NOT making millions out of their customers when applying this tactic..  I just try to stay away from the sportbooks that do once i notice it.

One other thing that got me a bit worried is the one where I had to send in a selfie with holding my ID as well as showing my correspondance with Megapari through my mail( ALL in the same picture and the details had to be clearly visible..) Thankfully I recently bought a newer phone because my old one wouldnt be able to capture all that in the same picture without it getting blurry in places.

 It took me a while but I managed to take this so all the info are now super clear. It then took over 72 hours and now they want a utility bill, which I have already sent in and still waiting ( Im guessing for at least another 72 hours before they either tell me to redo the thing or send in another document.

These stalling tactics are very despicable to me and there is no excuse for it when reputable sites either ask you for everything at once and get it over with or they verify it either straight away or within at least 24 hours.

At the moment Im just waiting for the next step, but its not looking too good.

FAST FORWARD 3 days later :

And of course I was right. After ANOTHER 3 DAYS I got this in my mail : You should make a selfie with a sheet of paper with a current date and code X8W73A written on it. Your face and all data should be clearly and fully visible.

How on earth is this necessary after I already have sent them a photo with my face holding my ID in the right hand and my phone showing my mail from Megapari in the left?
Stalling tactics confirmed. I urge everyone to stay away from this site because intentionally trying to stall people from making a withdrawal.

Please people ask yourselves.. is this a reasonable way to conduct a KYC ? or how many extra photos of your face do these people actually need while always taking the maximum time to get back to you?

Be careful



Ok so after 72 hours I got this update " Dear user, please provide us with colored photos of your national ID card (both sides, please). Photos must be in JPG format.
This is after I have sent in my passport seperately and also me holding my drivers license in a seperate picture..

I responded saying:  " Hello. I dont have a National Id Card like I said in the past. I have a drivers license and a Passport... If you look back in our conversation I already sent you my passport like you wanted.. "

The answer I got back from this was : "Your request has been sent to the specialists, wait for the answer."


So lets see if they are going to take another 72 hours just to answer me here...
This is truly BIZARRE and I think its hard for anyone to claim that this is not a stalling tactic at this point.
well at least there is a light now? but why need to ask for National  ID when you already handed a Passport when that almost represent  the proof they need .

Hope in the next 72 hours you will get what you are seeking here so Goodluck .

Since you are the one who deposited the money into the casino platform, you say you have no choice but to give them what they ask of you because they are the ones holding your funds,
and if you argue with them, your funds will be even more in jeopardy, right?

So just follow it, although it's annoying, but for the sake of being able to withdraw the money from their platform, just be patient because they might just have a protocol
to follow on their gambling platform.

To make it more simpler, its better if a gambler thinks he cannot cope with making provisions over the kyc requirements a gambling platform may requires, then such a gambler should make a choice in going for a casino which does not require for kyc, this will make them to have nothing serving as hindrance over them from enjoying gambling, as long as they are willing to make the necessary search in discovering one.

Hehehe...These casinos will not kill me with laughter here, oh my God!!!

Who sent them all this stress? As if they are under one serious regulation like that. The truth is that most of these casinos are self-serving with many of these supposed additional verifications which make the process more difficult for the customers. And truly as you might have suspected, it might be to hold your money to themselves, and of course, some customers would have been victims, they would have been tired of too much stress of uploading which the casino may continue to reject.
The truth be told, when I used magapari sometimes ago I did play for a while and made some good winnings but I did not experience anything that could warrant suspicion because at some point I began to take them to be one if those casinos that I had my most luck because I was able to play and make some good winnings and able to withdraw from the casino without any issues.

So I won't be quick to conclude that magapari is a scam casino to this extent unless if the accuser could provide some more evidence which will be beyond doubt to conclude their have become scammers, but until then the team also will have their own side of the story.

OP don't get mad about the requirements, some people are so crazy that they can even forge fake KYC, photo and ID card, if you are for real you should write whatever they ask you on a paper and take a selfie, I've done this on normal crypto exchanges and they approved the KYC, you must do it if you want to withdraw your fund.

People should start accepting that KYC verifications can become even more unease as people are finding ways to pass KYC with fake information and stolen identities, for some casinos to fully accept that you are who you claimed to be they will make you do some stronger challenging verifications, learn to accept this.

Getting licensed as a casino is not that important to me because I know that their are some license that don't even have any effect on the casino if they start scamming their user. I don't know if Mega Pari has actually changed for real but I could remembered that I've used this casino before and I was fade up by the way thing was operating then before I decided to shift to other casinos.
I just hope op is able to get his fund back because this is not funny as especially when a casino is trying to stress their users to submit document and after that, nothing to show up for their funds withdrawals.

As I said in other posts, I had a good experience with Megapari and played there without even doing the KYC. I have made multiple deposits and withdrawals without any problems. But previous actions do not justify what is happening today. They ran a campaign in this forum, and I believe some other forum members have experienced Megapari before. But we haven't heard anything bad at that time.

But as you guys may know, the campaign manager Royse who actually handled their campaign on the forum reached out to Megapari regarding this matter and I guess we can expect a solution soon. Meanwhile, I would ask op to complete the KYC. Because that is the only way to get his money.

I think kyc process is actually very tough thing to do while you had already secure winning in the gambling site, that is why I often encourage people to try as much as possible to pass kyc from those gambling sites they regularly gamble because immediately winning secure it would be very hard for them to pass kyc because they will be very sensitive to allow you pass the kyc.
I understand your pains anyway because I know how it is using a site and at last they turned to frustrate the gambler, and even though you keep submitting different photos following their instructions there is no way they would allow you to make withdrawal because already from their ends they had an evil intention not to allow you make withdrawal.

Usually KYC does not take more than 24 hours to be verified, sometimes there are casinos that can complete their verification in less than 1 hour.
I can understand Op frustration because the casino should be more detailed about all the data that must be uploaded, they must still have doubts but they should not make it difficult for their customers.

Quite curious why Op who have played at many casinos choose this casino, they are not even very well known on this forum except some time ago when they were still actively promoting, maybe Op are aiming for bonuses here, and I see sometimes bonuses are a big obstacle for players to withdraw money when the casino sees something suspicious even though players have given them documents.

Well the decision is yours but I think you should know that not all casinos exhibit same behaviour on their customers.  Most times all these tactics are just to delay the process so that the client would get tired and frustrated to the point of leaving their funds with the casino irrespective of the amount with them but in some cases, when the casino notice that you are up to date with your presentations as the demand or request, they would have no option than to allow or process your withdrawal with immediate effect because they would be afraid to your next line of action.
A casino acted in a way not friendly does not mean all casinos are the same, you could try others and see for yourself how their features look's like.


Not all casino rather only small casino that doesn’t have enough bankroll to process withdrawal quickly.

Big casino like Stake doesn’t do this. They are quick to verify user KYC and process bog withdrawal quickly assuming that there’s no violation committed when playing in the casino.

Reputable casino alwasy consider quick verification and withdrawal since this is the main feature which most gambler consider on choosing a casino.

Quick withdrawals without any issue is what gamblers considers looking out for in casinos. Nobody wants their money to get stocked for too long all in the name of verification and so on when it happens that the casino did not reject any deposit so why then would they start acting up when it is time for withdrawals. Well, just as you have said, most at times, casinos who put up such attitude of not releasing withdrawal immediately are mostly facing financial crisis which they do not want anybody to know so they would start acting up to strategically frustrate and delay withdrawal and see if the withdrawer would be caught in the web.

It's actually not a strange thing to ask for a verification holding ID and something in particular written on a piece of paper and also they can ask for utility bill

It is strange, believe me. Asking for a screenshot of the conversation along with his face is awkward at least. I've never heard of a casino asking for that. Sure, they often ask for a piece of paper with your name next to your face, but more commonly a picture of you holding your ID and then the same ID front and back.
Asking for you to shoot a photo next to a monitor with a message from support is just stupid. They want OP to get tired or what?


This is really cringe requirements asked by the casino and I think this is the first time I heard this situation that the requirement asked is to much.

Don't know if there's some people here would really like to submit that requirements since its like they are ask a certain requirement that people don't like to do it. It give me some impression that they want the user to get tired and hoping that he gamble back his money then lose everything they have.

Encounter so many cases like this and with that this leave some thoughts that the casino doing such things are the shady ones.

No it is not reasonable to me and I always had my suspicion about megapari casino.
I understand some casinos have more strict verification than others and they are well protected by their terms, but I prefer using proven and tested casinos like Sportsbet, instead of experimenting with others.
If I was in your situation with megapari I would not comply with their requests and I would ask for my coins to be returned.

The aim for the use of kyc in gambling casinos is not to avoid us from making withdrawals till we lose hope, but to ensure that they have the right and complete identity of every users of their platforms and also be able to regulate their identity in other to avoid a third party from taking over, this may not be well by some of us because of the intensity of acquiring some of these information from us, but if we can provide all the required data, there wont be any form of glitch because if they are not granting people the withdrawal access, many will be discouraged from using them.

Do you really believe all that you wrote? It's only a matter of time before you get scammed with such attitude.

I think that issue was more of a thing in the past. They recently published a report about reforms in gambling licenses, and it looks like the new rules will be stricter.

Did you mean 1xbit won't be able to scam their players anymore because the license rules are getting more strict? My point was that having a license does not really mean that the casino won't scam their players. Casinos can do whatever they want, and the license providers mostly do not really care about the complaints they get from the players.

Otherwise, we would have seen some casinos lose their license. How many cases can you refer to where the casino lost their license because of their player's complaints? I guess the number is zero. However, I don't see any reason why the casino has to ask for documents one after one. They could ask for all of them at once.
Getting licensed as a casino is not that important to me because I know that their are some license that don't even have any effect on the casino if they start scamming their user. I don't know if Mega Pari has actually changed for real but I could remembered that I've used this casino before and I was fade up by the way thing was operating then before I decided to shift to other casinos.

2 : Why do MEGAPARI first ask for a selfie with me holding My ID and my phone up , showing my correspondence with them to then wait 72 hours to again ask me for a selfie with me holding up a code with todays date on it? Whats the purpose here? Do yourself a favor and ask yourself if you were in their shoes.. do you think you need a second selfie like this after accepting the first one?
And if so, then why not ask for both at the same time instead of adding another 72 hours to the verification Process?


It's actually not a strange thing to ask for a verification holding ID and something in particular written on a piece of paper and also they can ask for utility bill but the waiting period of 3 days for every response is a red flag which seems like forcing the user to spend the money while waiting for response.

Already others pointed out their reputation isn't negative so you should play the waiting game and provide the documents and if they keep stalling even after providing necessary documents then it's time for scam accusation.

I am new to Megapari and have been using them for a few Weeks now. I am a gambler with over 50 different sites used over the last 5 years.

Really strange, why would you be gambling at so many sites? Even 1 or 2 trusted sites are enough to gamble and no need to switch so many sites.  Shocked

I made a bad decision to put too much money into this site that I noticed later had a bad reputation with a lot of customers (based on what I've read on various sites and forums) so I am a bit nervous about what is going to happen now when I try to make my first withdrawal and when I see how they are asking for multiple and extensive documents compared to any standard that I have experienced. What I have done so far is just to play on their sportsbook and I have been limited there after around maybe 400 USD in profit ( hence why I am now making a withdrawal.)

Well I do not know the reputation of Megapari, but as you said they are on bad reputation, then forget that you will get your money back. Moving forward you should not deposit significant amount on any site until you are satisfied with the feedback from the gamblers for that site and also better to do the KYC first and then deposit so the site does not have excuses to deny the KYC at later stages and hence not let us withdraw.

You have nothing to do for now but to comply , remember that they havce your money and from that your only chance of getting them back is to comply and help the process.

and also once this done then you can just get away and forget about this site but for now you are in to comply .
I like everything that you have written because that's just the truth and if I were in the OP's shoes, that's what I would do myself. I was once in a situation like this but thankfully I didn't get to the extent where they asked me to take a selfie of myself with a paper in which the present date is written. The main objective right now is to do everything that they say as long as you know that you have nothing to hide.

also you have been into 50 different sites but did not dig deeper before even depositing in each casino you are playing ?
I can't blame him. He must have trusted this one. It serves as a lesson not just for him but for the rest of us.
