Topic: Endless KYC stalling from MEGAPARI in order to give up on your withdrawals. - page 4. (Read 905 times)

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

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

This is completely unfair. This shows utter incompetence and unprofessionalism on their side.

In all fairness, I was a Megapari user. I loved my experience there. They offer hundreds of markets in a single match and the odds are noticeably higher than their competitors'. When I signed up with them, they were new to the forum and they didn't have accusations as well. Also, they supported my local fiat. In other words, I never experienced any untoward incident with them. It's just a bit sad that I had to access them recently via a mirror site because their main site is inaccessible even though I'm not residing in a restricted country.

Anyway, comply properly with what they're asking. However, you can also raise your concern at the same time on public platforms where they have an official representative. It might give them a bit of pressure. And when you successfully get your funds, leave that site for good.

You are missing the point. He never mentioned that he was scammed and only talked about their stalling tactics and you would know how annoying it can get if you actually experienced it yourself.

This sort of stuff has become common in the crypto gambling world sadly which is why you should think twice before dismissing these complaints so casually.

Well, if you ask me, I did say that following the kyc process until it gets completed is not really an option to consider, what if the process never comes to an end, but rather, they keep it going and going for as long as it takes for op to become really frustrated with the whole thing and decide either to leave the money on the casino and walk away or gamble with it and end up losing it all back to the casino?

It simply means that if op relaxes and allow megapari to win this, the casino will get even more comfortable to do the same to another user, and before we know it, alot if people will become victims of such a cruel and criminal act.

I did go with your last opinion which is a suggestion, if this is not an issue that can be handled on this forum, then the op can take the issue to casinoguru for possible resolution, such attitudes towards gamblers from casinos shouldn't be entertained, casinos should be so greedy with customers funds when they are making more than enough for themselves.

Well I won't think this code verification is part of their KYC process. If you had read it before depositing and playing, it would have made more sense. Although, with that code I think they are not yet satisfied with your selfie picture that was sent to them and they are doubting and perhaps to disprove photo shopping whatnot.

Anyway, this is always the story for a gambler who is sensing something fishy and wants to quickly run away. The casino on their own could be having their doubts and wants to do all their verification which maybe quit frustrating.

Verification process that is taking days for each response isn't speaking well of the customer service assuming the site is honest and sincere.

My advise therefore is to be patient and carry out the request given to you and you can decide whether to continue with them or not after you get your money out.

It's a complex situation mate, your only option is to follow the KYC process until gets complete and then walk away from that site.

For me It sounds like they are looking for a excuse to keep your money, Maybe you could open a red flag on casino guru, they could help you by contacting their representativos.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience, especially after spending hundreds of dollars. In my case, it was just $40, but it’s frustrating regardless. The thing is, these casinos are Curacao-licensed, and based on my experience with such platforms,especially newer ones with low user activity or limited international popularity..it’s usually better to avoid them altogether or only deposit a small amount initially to test the waters.

These casinos often claim they need to follow regulations and protocols, similar to legitimate platforms like BetMGM or FanDuel. However, their true intention seems to be preventing withdrawals of deposits or winnings. They use tactics like excessive Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, claiming to prevent money laundering, while ultimately profiting by selling personal information to brokers. In the end, you lose your money, your time, and your personal data becomes available on the internet!

There are some Curacao-licensed casinos, like Stake.com, that don’t enforce KYC for small winnings. However, if you start winning big, verification is inevitable. If I were you, I’d leave a review on platforms like AskGamblers or CasinoGuru and file complaints there as well as with the Curacao Gaming Authority. I’ve read about cases where people managed to resolve issues this way and successfully withdraw their funds. Best of luck dude!

Well, megapari is a popular brand around this forum since they held some rounds of advertisement campaigns and promotions here in the previous times, but however, I never really have liked them and for this reason, I never used have deposited on the site even though I think I've signed up there once.

It's rather unfortunate that a casino will implore such a tactics to use to make their customers end up spending and possibly losing money they initially intended to withdraw, this is not good at all and it shouldn't be encouraged
I will advice you create a scam accusation against the casino and provide all the necessary evidence of your claim, let the DT members of this forum treat the matter, I believe they would quickly accept your KYC verification and process your withdrawal request if they see that alot of people on this forum are beginning to talk negative about them, and even giving their reps here a negative trust.

Maybe for now the only thing you can do is wait and do the requirements they are asking you for, now if apart from the utility bills they are still asking you for something else, ask them why they are asking for so many documents from you for clarification as well.

It's really irritating that there are so many requests but we can't do anything and that's our last choice to get what we want from them from the gambling platform they have.

Do you follow this last verification process? Needless to say this casino has some issue before about KYC but later on resolved. I’m not sure if they will still entertain same issue like this since they are not pretty active anymore here with their marketing.

You have no choice but to follow their KYC procedures or else consider your money gone. This is the reason why you should play only on well established casino. Maybe you are getting some extra bonus here but the hassle on withdrawing your balance is not worthy.

Thanks for make the forum aware of this.
However I don't think it's plausible they want to scam just 400 USD. Even with your full deposit this is just a trivial amount that can't cover operational costs... imagine this as a "profit" well, it's like impossible.
First of all, follow their request. If you have your document always accessible just follow their request. According ToS casinos can ask always for a KYC document or any supporting document.
If you are scared to play again and wate your money just avoid (If you are registered in 50... you have other options).

The license isn't a good reason for them not to cheat the system or try to stalk the customers like the op has said. Some casino will still go behind these rules just to make sure they are in the position where they make more profits from customers.. they are stalling the ops verification process too much and it's obvious that they do this to make the op spend more on their casino on gambling rather than withdrawing. Again, the op said he has played in over 50 sites so I'm wondering how he wasn't aware that he would go through their terms and kyc processes before playing if he's the type that plays on kyc casinos.

Yeah, this is the issue here, Megapari could have been stalling his withdrawal, or they are asking for me KYC because they are not satisfied by what the OP is giving them. Maybe they see some anomaly in his KYC, hence they are asking for more.

So it's really hard to side to anyone here, because we have seen this issues before and there are times that the casinos raised a valid question. Or if the one that raise the question might not be truthful at all.

I've used Megapari before, I didn't encountered the same issues as the OP, just sayig.

What OP is saying is very worrying and should serve as a big warning to people who use this casino or want to use this casino. Because it doesn't make sense for them to be asking for so many things, when a selfie holding an ID is already a great proof that the person's documents match the person's face. They also asked for proof of address, something that can prove where OP lives. So why are they asking for things in parts instead of asking for everything at once? My guess is that they are doing this to make OP get tired and give up his money. This behavior from the casino is not good. I hope that a representative from the casino will come to this thread to find out what is really going on.

After I read the whole text, the conclusion is Megapari didn't scam and you're complaining because they ask more verification.

Honestly this mean there's nothing we need to discuss about, @OP is just expressing his opinion and this doesn't harm anything as Megapari isn't a scammer. All @OP need to do is follow what Megapari ask and then tell what's the update. If you don't want to submit more KYC, you can lock this thread.

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 .

also you have been into 50 different sites but did not dig deeper before even depositing in each casino you are playing ?

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.

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.

And wait a minute, doesn’t Stake also operate under a Curaçao license? This doesn’t feel like just a coincidence. It seems like these changes are intentionally being rolled out, and they could bring some positive impacts to the gambling industry. One big improvement, I’m sure, is better security for users. If this pans out, it could build more trust for both players and operators.

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.

That said, it’s tough to call them a scam right now since there’s no concrete proof presented by the OP, and we haven’t heard Megapari’s side of the story either. Until we get both sides, it’s best to reserve judgment and keep an open mind.
