They don't deserve negative trust for sure since they technically didn't scam anyone as you mentioned, but these tactics are unethical and petty which is why they deserve to be called out in this manner.

Really hate it when sites don't do shit when gamblers are losing, but execute this sort of crap sometimes when gamblers are winning.

no update OP?

Yeah, it is completely in their descretion to decide if and when to stop their promotion here if they want, it's totally up to them, I believe we all know the story of 1xbit, even with several negative trust, they continued to promote their casino here on the several for several months if not more than a year or two, and was even paying the highest reward for all the ranks compared to the other casinos advertising here at the time, they did this and didn't mind the several backlash been thrown at them plus the Negative trust that was piling up on their official account by the day, at a time they decided on their own, they stopped their promotion here and left the forum.

As for Team-Megapari account still being clean, well, this one is very understandable, amongst all the complains and accusations, there hasnt been any major or direct accusation of the casino scamming any one, even if there was in the past, they have always tried and made sure the issue is resolved, this is why the account is clean, most gamblers throwing negative comments about Megapari are doing so based on tactics, features the casino introduces, which they or we all feel is a trick to get players to lose their money, like this very one we are having this discussion on right now, this is not a direct scam accusation, and does not deserve any negative trust.

They’re the only ones who can decide whether to stop or not as they know their operation very well. if they’re not getting results or are spending more than they’re earning, they’ll eventually stop. But you know, every casino should have active advertisements to keep attracting new gamblers, especially now that the gambling industry is very competitive with so many players.

Maybe if they’re not relying too much on this forum, they’re not as affected here. But I’m surprised that "Team_MegaPari"’s profile is still clean. Does this mean the accusation against them is baseless?

They can still consider stopping their ad here and channel the resources they spend on weekly payment to other places where they (maybe) will be getting more traffic.
The truth is that, advertisement and or marketing is actually very expensive out there, this forum is actually one of the platforms where product and services can be advertised for less, Magapari has this opportunity but unfortunately, their way of running their casino or doing business isnt attractive to forum members, and more so like you said, not when there are far better options here to choose from, for them to become one of the top casinos used and liked by members of this forum and as well visitors, they perhaps, have to learn what other big casinos are doing that themself is not doing, copy that and see how they can improve on it, this is how healthy competition is born and also how smaller casinos get on top even in a very competitive business environment.

I just finished reviewing  casino where I say a clause in their TOS that they reserve the right to ask for periodic verification of the user. In the review I asked for clarification to understand what that really mean because that statement sound vague to me as I can't imagine myself doing regular KYC or providing documents often instead of doing it once and focusing on winning money. I don't want to believe that that statement will lead to the issue being raise here because that will be highly disappointing. I have used Megapari before and for the time I used them, I was not asked for KYC so I don't know if all is well from your end for them to put you in this stressful situation as a result of KYC.

There's really nothing to lose if they continue, even if only a few are interested. Besides, I believe this isn’t the only platform where they’re advertising. Personally, I haven’t tried gambling in this casino yet, but I’ve heard of it before. You know, when you’re active in the forum, you’ll come across many more popular casinos. So, why settle for a casino that has some issues raised by forum members?

Played on this casino multiple times but I never like the casino UI even the games offered is very limited that’s why I stop playing here. Including the bonuses is so low that backed with difficult terms just to limit payouts.

I will not be surprised if they decide to stop the promotion here since there’s few interest playing in their casino due to the limited bonus offered.

Yeah, they had and their signature campaign was run by AB de Royse777. We don't know a reason why they stopped the campaign, probably they got what they wanted or it didn't meet their expectations. I don't trust anything run by Bet-B2B and I expressed my opinion when they were running their signature campaign but as I see AB de Royse777 tried to help this user and Megapari is aware of the situation. I hope they'll help him and his case will finally be resolved.
Btw it's sad that OP hasn't posted since 22 November. They open threads and don't update us on whether their case has been solved or not, that's irresponsibility in my mind.

I don't know the reason for your too many questions unless you are being sarcastic about this. I also located the campaign manager of MegaPari at that time and he is a professional CM with no questionable character as far as his job is concerned.

Regardless, let me put this to you, handling a campaign for a business is not the same as being part of the management team. The campaign managers' task is to bring more traffic/audience to them, and of course, they (the business) will not paint themselves badly with the CM even if they will still disappoint. So, CM has limited fault here if things go south, he can only stop cooperating with them if they do not change.

It is true that we cannot draw solid conclusions yet, but his side of the matter makes far more sense considering the fact that they are related to scam sites like 1xbit and 1xbet operating under the same umbrella.

There is actually. @shield132 posted in page 2 of this thread on how they are related(BetB2B). They all operate under one umbrella as a scam corporation basically.

Didn't MegaPari have a signature campaign in BitcoinTalk? Who was its campaign manager, and why did the campaign stop? This is not an accusation on the campaign manager. I merely believe that a signature campaign manager's experience and his/her interactions with the admins/developers/owners of the casino might give everyone a better idea in what sort of people are running MegaPari.

Turnoff isn't just with delaying transactions, how about kyc? Which is the topic of discussion here any way..

With how technology is advancing and making alot if things automated and easier to run/manage, i expect that one should not submit his or her documents for kyc verification and wait more than 3 hours to get a response, in fact, some casinos and exchanges have automated the whole process where you submitted the requested document and complete the other requirements and in less than 2 minutes, the system return a message confirming that you are either verified or not verified and have to try again..

With this type of tech already in place, it's fishy, scammy on the part of the casino to let a customer wait 3 days before coming back to tell him or her that he or she is not verified and need to submit a different document entirely not mentioned in the things required for a successful kyc verification.
There have been alot complaints against mega pari in the past and lately, I hope they really consider providing better services for their growth and longevity in this space.

The secrets about casino's people don't know is that you must not start the site with a huge amount because when starting with huge amounts and you haven't completed your kyc it shows that there would be lapses somewhere or anytime soon, usually or let me say on norm we should have passed verifications or either completed all forms of documentation before having to go involved ourselves with such casino's especially casino's that are not reputed or widely known by lot of people over here.

We faces difficulty when our bankroll has increase tremendously and of course when we increase our bankroll while gambling there is every possibility for our winning to be huge as well, so when win and want to make withdrawal some of these casino's would want to restrict them because they didn't have it mind that such user would win and having to pull out such heavy amount from their site. What next? They started frustrating the users in order not to have that will power to be able to have the amount on their mind withdrawn.

Most of these complaints here are still happening and because it has not happened to us do not mean that it's not happening. There are people that have used some of these exchanges and casinos, telling you about their dark secrets because they have been victims many times and have studies what could have been the reasons. I am not in a position to judge if Mega Pari is a trusted casino but we all have to be extra careful because it might be your turn to complain next time. I have a great turnoff for casinos that like delaying transactions, having limited games especially in sport bets where you can not play as much as you want.

You are right because everyone's experience will be based on the outcome of your engagement with a platform, truly I had to be lucky then although I did not deposit a big amount of money just a small deposit of about $20 and gambledle turned that amount to around $50 and withdraw it immediately, I believe most of those that have issues with such casinos are those that play with big amount of money, and want to withdraw big sum also, since most cases of refusal to withdraw always rise when gambler want to withdraw big amount that is somewhere around $3000 and above.

A lot of things have changed lately and I won't be surprised to see such negative actions from a casino that once had so much present here in the forum, visiting their reviews thread makes me wonder if is there no one among the participants has experienced any sort of delay KYC or something of such, at least from what is written on that thread it sounds as if the casinos is all good until all of this accusation springing forth right now then doubt beginning to build in our minds.

I quite understand your position and indeed you are one of the lucky ones there so your view about them will always be positive, no doubt. But I tell you, there are some victims at times, so you guys will see this casino differently and I am not new to companies like that where some customers will receive the top-notch service while others would receive the opposite.

I will continue to say that I caught Bybit red-handed after a while that my brother and I got into an argument about it. Could you believe that a transaction that Bybit would complete for my brother at about $0.15 would be completed for me at about $2.5. I complained but my brother sided them until we did it live to know that these companies are crooks, they might route you under different serve/service, so we should treat each case differently, my brother.

We’re not in a position to say if they’re really doing that. After all, it’s just OP and the casino communicating, and not all documents or details are available for analysis. When it comes to anything involving KYC, it’s tough to draw solid conclusions since we’re only working with limited information.

is there any proof that these two are related?

That is one way to look at this situation. Op's perspective in this case is that the site are usually unethical stalling tactics in order to try and make him gamble away his funds in order to avoid paying him.

His perspective makes more sense over what you stated since Megapari is related to trash like 1xbit, 1xbet etc which have a history of scamming their customers in different ways.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?


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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 


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.

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.

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.

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.

I can't actually have any opinions or suggestions about Megapari's reputation, but I believe that what they have asked from you is normal practice by any casino, except for the selfie. Although for centralized exchanges, it's normal practice as well.


If the amount that you're trying to withdraw is low/that the casino could quickly pay, then they're not stalling. They probably found something suspicious or something that made them ask for more proof of your identity. Give it to them, and don't give them any reason to take your coins.

But if it's more than $100,000, and you want to withdraw it in one transaction, then they are probably, PROBABLY, stalling.

  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

I've done the same way of kyc but not with megapari but with another service and not a gambling service. While these processes from phase 1 and phase 2 or any additional phases that they might ask you for some more is really stalling.

Let's wait for that and they also have an account in here maybe a rep of theirs could give some answer on this thread. Although their account has been active since a month ago.

Endless KYC stalling from MEGAPARI in order to give up on your withdrawals. Well I know the case like you just today, so basically you already did everything including post a selfie with some code but they still rejected? If I were you Im gonna reply the customer service and said why the reason I got rejected if every document already there.

Just curious why you move sites, you said that you already register to 50+ sites means you supposed to know what sites that legit and that are not or maybe just use your own regular sites so you worry free about this kinda of thing

I got your point. But we are talking about scam tactics here. I asked if I had ever seen a casino license revoked because they were trying to scam their players. The regulators will not revoke their licenses because they do not accept player complaints. They don't take any legal action against the casino even if they accept. At least, I never heard such a thing.

My other point is that no matter how hard the KYC process is and how many documents they need to verify a user, they could ask for all the documents in one message. But when a casino asks for one document every 72 hours and continues several times, how do you see that?

Exactly, doing KYC verification as soon as you register on a casino should be the first step before making deposits, so that if they don't accept the KYC documents you just discard the Casino instead of registering and absconds doing KYC then go straight to making deposits, it's risky to me because you may experience some challenges in doing KYC later especially after winning some amount of money from bets. Most casinos are very dubious so it's better to do KYC earlier to avoid any touching story later on.

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 chance you can share screenshots of the conversation you had with their support that backs up your claims? I am not saying that you are lying but it is better that your claims have evidence.

yeah, there is not much that can be done other than complain and show frustration and following their instructions even if it is a hassle and repetative if the OP want his money back.

i mean u have only two hands... if one hands hold ur id and the other hand hold the phone with the conversation with megapari ...
how u can take a selfie
if someone take picture for u then its just a pics not a selfie anymore
its like they ask for the impossible thats so weird but im not surprise by this website, they even ask me my tax ID when i did my kyc with them. the only bookmaker who asked me that

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

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.

OP, you made a huge mistake by playing on a casino that's owned by BetB2B platform. Bet-B2B is a company that has a casino CMS and creates an unlimited number of scam casinos. You can identify them by their design because all of their casinos share the same design pattern and games. I'll give you a list of websites that are owned by Bet-B2B and have a look at them, you'll understand their design pattern.
P.S. This is the list of websites that you should avoid at all costs.

1xBet.com
1xBit.com
1xStavka.ru
22Bet.com
bet-1xsport.com
betwinner.com
casino-z.com
lordbetting.com
melbet.com
playwetten.com
pnxbet.com
sapphirebet.com
megapari.com

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 ?

No problem. My goal here is to highlight what is happening to me while going through their KYC process. What people need to understand is that this is a thing that is very common on sportbooks, where they are doing everything they can to stall the withdrawal. My goal here is to prepare people for what to come if you play on MEGAPARI like I have. I dont need to use words like "SCAM" that is subjective at this point... But if people think I am overreacting, then please explain to me why they:

1 : Take 3 days every time to review a document and only ask for one at a time? Why not ask for everything they need from me to fastforward the process? This would save BOTH parties a ton of time.

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?

This is also just the start, I have gone through similar bad experience in the past on casinos/sportsbooks that have turned out to be very shady.

I have currently sent in the last document which was a selfie of me, holding up the code and todays date on a piece of paper. I will update on how they will respond to this, but at this point I expect the worst since they are being very unreasonable in their treatment of me already IMO.

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

Yes, I currently have around 2.2k USD On megapari.com At this moment mate. I have only been placing bets on their sportsbooks, if you are a winner on sports its completely different from being a winner on the casino because there is a possibility to have an edge in sports compared to casinos (long term)
this is why I believe I am usually getting the worst treatment when it comes to KYC verification.
If this doesn't get resolved I will totally do that, I appreciate the response.

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.

I don't know who is right and who is wrong in your case, OP.
If you really think that you have been scammed, the best things to do are opening a forum thread in the Scam Accusations forum on Bitcointalk and leaving negative reviews about this casino all over the internet. Maybe spreading negative reviews online would make the casino customer support to change their minds and try to solve your case. Promise the customer support, that you will remove the negative reviews as long as your case has been solved. Maybe that will work. If it doesn't work, just give up and move on(and don't deposit big amounts of money in an online casino).

I don't know what's the matter with the OP but I was actually one of the participants of Mega Pari review campaign and throughout testing and writing of review I didn't face a single issue back then. Mega Pari at the time of writing my review was a good and trusted platform and didn't ask for any KYC details.

I believe having a license doesn't makes a casinos a reliable one as already mentioned by many members that 1xbit also had a proper registered license and yet they turned rogue and took money of gamblers. However, I haven't seen anything against Mega Pari yet, and I believe OP should contact their official representative that's available on forum to discuss his issue.

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.

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.

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
