Topic: Endless KYC stalling from MEGAPARI in order to give up on your withdrawals. - page 3. (Read 905 times)

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

this is ridiculous
in my country the bookmaker regulated ask KYC at the inscription and its enough
sometimes they just ask for source of funds but not more
only proof of adress, ID, and selfie.
but not all this bullshit requirements
crypto bookmakers should be easier than the regulated one ...
this is really sad. but thanks i dont have to bet anymore on the crypto bookies. not one are serious when u do sports betting

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.

(and I will post whatever proof you guys want me post here, all you have to do is ask. )

It’s really up to 1xBit or any other casino to decide if they’ll play fair or scam their users. But here’s the thing. when regulators tighten their rules and crack down on violations, it could lead to licenses being revoked.

That’s a big deal, and it’s a great way to minimize scams. These casinos make a ton of money, but losing their license means losing everything. Even if they try to keep operating, it’ll be illegal, and authorities will hunt them down. So, stronger regulations could force them to stay legit if they don’t want to risk it all...that’s my point.

Any site can reject your KYC. But I like the sites that do that almost immediately, like within 2 to 5 minutes. This has been my experience on many exchanges and gambling sites.

I am not implying that you should not stay away from such site but try to do everything they are telling you. Although, with what you have posted, it would be frustrating.

You make a mistake. Before you deposit money into any gambling account, you should read their KYC requirement first. It is very important unless you are ready to do KYC. Even if you are ready for KYC, make sure you do it before you deposit money into such site.

Did you mean 1xbit won't be able to scam their players anymore because the license rules are getting more strict?

It's frustrating but sadly you are going to have to give them what they want, they hold all the keys right now

Kyc selfie Id verification is somewhat easier if either you using a selfie stick or an already snap picture while holding the IDs snapping by a third party, I think the number of time u go through such verification process I hard to get the existence of a third party to help me out with the picture process.


We can't say for sure what the real deal is with this guy issues of none success of his kyc process and why megapari of all casinos will delay to process his kyc verification process, may be there is more to this whole issues that the ops may have not mentioned to us here, but in the main time, we need to give ourselves sometimes in other not to jump into any conclusions.

These are just amongst one of the experience with centralized casino, they are regulated and would act in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction they are operating from. OP, you would just have to be patient with them irrespective of their stall tactics as you have said and from what I have read so far, they did not really have said to you that you will not get your withdrawals but they are only just doing what they can which is also required of them to do so they would allow your withdrawal.

Most times, one just needs to be patient to allow them exhaust every opportunity they have so that you do not look like the bad player here that they do not have anything at hand to discredit you of your money and say something different from the reality. I believe they would have to rethink and do the needful when they realize you are not failing to present to them all the documents and photos they need for their verification and when they fail to do what is expected, then it would tell on them that their reputation is at stake.

how did u manage to get selfie with holding ID and ur phone up showing correspondence with them  ?
technically looks impossible to do that na ?

Thanks for sharing this warning after which I have flagged Mega-pari as a site which would be not appropriate for my gambling affairs ^{you were referring to Mega-pari.world, right?}. After leaving Stake which required me to proceed to level 2 KYC I'm actively looking for new online places were I could continue my gambling routine, thus your warning has saved both my time and nerves.

how much are you trying to withdraw @babobaa? you said you made $400 in profit, but how much did you deposit?
not defending their excessive KYC process or the stalling, but you might have triggered something in their risk/fraud system.

or you may be right, and they are simply stalling so you play and lose your bankroll.
if this doesn't get resolved soon, you should consider creating a scam accusation here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Be careful

For me, having a license is just a bonus. What really matters is the reputation of the casino. While Megapari might not be super popular globally, it’s a different story in our country. I’ve seen plenty of vloggers promoting it, similar to 1xbit.

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.
