I am happy to give you benefit of the doubt in this veriff.com matter.
Anyway, I have requested Steve to look at this case along with another one. I will wait for him to make a statement here before telling anything else in this matter.
Good luck.

I did not know how veriff.com work but now this make sense to use a third party.
I should have had to take a screenshot right at the screen showing "successfully verified". Sadly, I did not expect I would end up needing such thing.

As far as I know, after uploading my pics and waiting for a few seconds, I was told that I had been successfully verified.
I do not really believe the report they gave to Sportsbef.io should have much difference since Veriff had already informed me that it was successul.

1. If passing or failing KYC that is coming from the third party does not matter then why this veriff.com KYC? @Sportsbet.io
2. And my first question still remains: How (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) are related to KYC verification?
Unless you find a different person in the selfie and the ID or you have exact match of the person with another account you have in sportsbet. I would like to know what was the report from veriff.com team.

I just read the entire OP. And my take:
What is this crap! How (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) are related to KYC verification?

At least not from the gambling website's end, because if KYC documents have been provided, they need not to harass their customers like this. I'm personally a fan (yes I'm still am) of sportsbet.io but the number of complains being raised on a daily basis have rung alarms in my heart for them.
I totally expected to be refunded immediately after sending all the KYC docs and successfully finishing Veriff.
The fact of not even knowing whether my deposit would be refunded after a whole week, truly made me go through a nightmare (I sent all the KYC docs. on the first day).
My question is, If your platform don't allow multi accounts then why didn't you detected the user before winning/placing the bet. So you guys have no issues if multi account user lose the bet but rules only activate when they win....Huh.
Created the account in just a matter of seconds, played for hours without any issue, then "multiaccounting" isnt detected until Im withdrawing, right? Lol.. never providing any proof to justify their actions.
Under the pressure of the QUEEN of the UNITED KINGDOM.
They have a sponsorship deal with Watford F.C -right?- they must be legitimate.. I thought that was obvious.
It says they are "owned and operated by mBet Soulutions NV" and "licensed and regulated by the Government of Curaçao". They have a sponsorship deal with Watford F.C -right?- they must be legitimate.. I thought that was obvious.
It's in their ToS, you know...
There is something strange going on with the number of complaints against Sportsbet increasing. I am looking forward to what Sportsbet have to add in this thread, we need some sort of clarity.
An exit-scam maybe?
I don't really want Sportsbet ending it all this way because too many hearts (including mine) will be broken if this happens. I don't know why there are no clarifications even in the previous threads made by other users, makes me worried. I don't have anything on sportsbet ATM but these things have created a scary situation where the most trusted casino is behaving shady.
Maybe this is just how they operate but now more users are posting their experiences public due to seeing other posts on google.
You might be on to something but there is a little bit more to this because when going to the sportsbet.io website from the UK the URL gets diverted to sportsbetio.uk and there are lots of terms and conditions they have to abide by including very strict UK laws with them being based in the Isle of Man.
The website "sportsbet.io" itself has largely nothing in protection for the end user with their organisation based in Curaçao "mBet Solutions NV (Kaya Richard J. Beaujon Z/N Landhuis Joonchi II Curaçao)" and states "It is licensed and regulated by the Government of Curaçao under the gaming license 1668/JAZ."
We all know a Curaçao licence is effectively a useless one that does nothing except give a false sense of legitimacy to any website that applies for it but Sportsbet are differentiating between "sportsbet.io" and "sportsbetio.uk"

Maybe sportsbet.io is under some government pressure since they have some big sponsorships and everybody has their eyes on them so they are trying to eliminate any kind of risk whenever possible. Just a possibility and a shitty one...
2 different companies, from my research sportsbetio.uk is a white label site that they license from a UK regulr. They released this site as part of their Watford FC sponsorship, it does not accept bitcoin and is heavily regulated by the UK Gambling Commission
But as for Sportsbet.io, well that’s a different matter. All the complaints are from their non-UK site.

Under...Curacao pressure? Lol.Even if it's a crypto bookies, you still need KYC to identify a person.
If someone is accused of multi-accounting and casino enforce KYC to one account, only thing they really prove is that 1 account belongs to that one person. It really doesn't prove anything else, let's not forget accusation and reason for banning player in the first place.

When it comes to multiple account detection, depending on the methods used, results may vary. And of course, the larger the player-base, the greater chance of false positives.

The UK site is FIAT-only, though. Perhaps they merely combined the various processes between the UK site and the BTC site, and the overlap was too stringent for general gamblers?When it comes to multiple account detection, depending on the methods used, results may vary.

You took my words wrong way, brother.
Shit! Apologies buddy :-Dafter a big win they ask for KYC.
In the recent some cases we did not see big wins. There are cases which are peanuts for SB to resolve and stop all these nonsense. So, what's the need of multi-accounting here? To place a bet on draw? 
Multi-accounting is relevant to Sportsbet.io as they have those "price boost" features for accounts. With multiple accounts, you could presumably take advantage of this on multiple occasions for a given market, which reduces their ev. Since casinos hate being cheated on their "bonuses" (utterly terrible ev) with multiple accounts, you could imagine why they have a problem with this as well. 
But if you ask for KYC and then say, "you're multi-accounting," without any indication of why... then you're just getting KYC from desperate gamblers for free, and that is completely dishonest.
Most unexpected thing is that some gambling platforms are using the KYC for their own benefit and using it as a weapon. Everything goes well until anyone make a good win but after a big win they ask for KYC. Even after successful KYC submission they block account just by showing a common reason "Multi account". My question is, If your platform don't allow multi accounts then why didn't you detected the user before winning/placing the bet. So you guys have no issues if multi account user lose the bet but rules only activate when they win....Huh.
Asking for KYC is not harassment. Harassment is when you ask for KYC then bring up the ToS, accuse that it's multi-account, do not show any proof of multi-accounting from the KYC reference, then you lock the account, then a user is going through all this public forum things and is taking heat (scammers etc) just because it's a newbie account.
That's harassment.
That's harassment.
You took my words wrong way, brother.
What you said is what I meant, please re-read what I said. I said that if KYC documents have been provided, then what's the need at the casino's end to harass their customer by coming up with all such shit like multi-accounts, no proofs, nothing and just giving back their deposits without giving them their winnings? It feels like begging for our own money. Isn't that harassment?
