Topic: Endless KYC stalling from MEGAPARI in order to give up on your withdrawals. - page 5. (Read 905 times)

Don't forget that 1xbit was a licensed casino as well. But they are well-known scammers. I played on Megapari before but did not encounter anything bad. Judging from the website design and script, Megapari looks similar to 1xbit. They could be a sister concern of 1xbit. Nothing is confirmed. However, a licensed casino does not mean they are not going to harass anyone or won't scam anyone.

Haunebu also said that Curacao licenses don't mean much. The license operators sell the license, and that is it. I don't think they help the players if they are in trouble. I don't see too much difference between the licensed and unregulated casinos. When I play on a casino, I don't remember checking if they have a license or not.

These stalling tactics are used by many crypto gambling sites sadly and I can attest to that based on my experience with some of them. You have no choice apart from following their instructions and waiting patiently op.

Curacao licenses don't really mean much. It's always risky dealing with crypto gambling sites unless they are popular ones with a stellar reputation.

Honestly, with things like this, it’s really just between you and the casino since not all information is made public or allowed to be shared openly.

What I see is that this casino is licensed (you can check here: https://plusbet.in/betting-sites/megapari/).
This means they’re operating under a set of rules and standards enforced by their regulators.

So far, I also checked their Bitcointalk account, and there doesn’t seem to be any negative feedback. That means they don't have a bad reputation in the forum.

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
