Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice from people who have experience with online betting platforms and account verification.
I have funds in my account and I’m trying to make a withdrawal. The withdrawal method I originally used did not work, so I contacted support. They told me that I need to complete an identity verification process before I can continue.
They asked me to provide a photo of my ID document. I understand that many financial services require KYC verification, but I’m still cautious about sending personal documents online.
Has anyone here gone through a similar verification process with an online betting service? How did you make sure the request was legitimate before sending your documents?
What are the main things I should check to avoid accidentally giving my information to a scammer?
Thanks for any advice.

I’ve played on a lot of casinos over the years. I’m not new to bonuses, wagering requirements, or withdrawal reviews.
What happened here genuinely shocked me.
I finished my bonus. Not “I think I did”… their own system literally congratulated me for completing it and confirmed the remaining balance had been transferred to my real-money balance.
To be safe, I contacted Finance before withdrawing.
They replied that my account was verified and that I was welcome to request a withdrawal.
So I did.
I requested €1,650.
It went into “In Progress.”
Then everything changed.
A few days later, my winnings were confiscated for alleged “bonus hunting” and a “max bet violation.”
I wasn’t just told “no.”
I repeatedly asked them one simple thing:
Show me exactly what I supposedly did wrong.
Which game?
Which spin?
Which bet?
Which timestamp?
Which gameplay log?
Nothing.
Not one specific example.
Just the same allegation repeated over and over.
That’s the part that bothers me the most.
If you’re going to confiscate someone’s winnings, at least show them the transaction you’re relying on.
I’ve saved every email, every screenshot, every withdrawal record, and every timestamp. I even put together a complete evidence dossier and submitted it to the licensing authority for an independent review.
I’m not asking Reddit to decide who’s right.
I’m simply sharing my experience so other players know to keep records of everything if they choose to play there.

hey guys

so i met this guy on reddit and then he gave me his telegram. and he’s saying he wants to help others and wants to send them aid. so he asks me if he can trust me. and then asks for my cashapp. and then says he’s gonna send me 5000 dollars, but wants 3000 sent back to him. is this a scam? or is this guy just a good person?? i need help deciding what to do. i was about to do it but then i told him i was good and didn’t want the money.

the ticket isn't the worst part. i made such a big deal out of it that everybody knew i was competing . it was heartbreaking toi find out my tickets were fakes.
this guy's supposed sister conatcted me on reddit when i said i wated to buy a ticket9this account is not deleted). we talked on whtasapp. he even convinced me to participate ina. relay. so that was +4k. so 15k down the drain to find out that guy was a scammer. even found his phone number doesn't exist now and that same number anither vicyim mention in a reddit post. this shit is so heartbreaking

Wanted to write this as a quick warning for others who may not be privy to a cheque scam that I unfortunately fell for recently.

Selling a high spec MacBook for almost 5K on marketplace, seller and I met and he said he wanted to pay through ANZ as it is instant, saw the money in my account and I got the receipt of his transaction in atm.

Little did I know that cheques can still be sent through electronically via atm and the money obviously bounced due to fraudulent cheque a few days later - despite appearing in my account.

He also gave me what I realised to be a fake ID after I asked for identification from him.

I obviously reported it to authorities etc.

I've never heard of this particular scam and want to warn people to 1. always think twice if something feels off and 2. never hand over anything unless funds are cleared.

So my mom wanted these bags from a suspicious website and I wasn't sure if the images were real, because they looked AI. Turns out handmadeukbag is very dangerous and can apparently steal your credit card number. When me and my sister tried to explain to my mom it was AI, she didn't believe us and thought we were being dramatic. Now I'm scared as fuck that it's gonna steal our credit card number and it's gonna make serious problems. What do I do???? I'm also pretty sure there's no way to cancel an order or whatever.

Hey,

So I decided to be smart and fell victim to the most common scam on FB marketplace. I lost 218 dollars trying to buy something I sent through ET. I contacted my bank and it’s highly unlikely i’ll be getting it back.

I have two of their emails and the name on their direct deposit from E-Transfer. I also have part of their phone number from a website a found but I can't find all the digits.

if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it!! ❤️

Hello, guys I need help. I signed up with PFM when an employer asked for a credit check from them. And now they made a charge for 34.95 eventhough, I didn't ask for any for services. What should I do? The job posting disappeared from Indeed. I still have emails. I tried calling their customer support but they just cut the call. Please help

This has been going on for over a YEAR. My dad (who just turned 83) has taken out loans to send a scammer over $140,000. We thought he stopped talking to her.

I just found out he’s talking to her again, on telegram. Is there any way I can get into his account to block her?

He thinks he’s going to make half a million dollars in an “investment” .

Please we need help, if there are any tips to be able to get into his telegram account (from a different phone).

Some random stranger came to my shop and said she is a tailor and needs money for funds until it becomes 1000rs she first asked for 20rs and then I didnt had 20 so she said online then I scanned to pay and noticed all money gone.. this shit is serious I need help. Plzz 🙏

So basically a friend hit me up and was like I’m a pay pig I thought why not let’s see what happens he sent me a check I deposited it fully believing it was real and now I’m 100% it’s fraudulent I’m freaking out. I can’t get a hold of my bank until Monday I’m really scared. I don’t want my account to be closed I’ve had it for almost 10 years. I can’t believe I was so stupid. I haven’t been able to calm down all weekend. And to make matters worse what made me realize it was a scam is he told me to put $400 in Apple Cash and send it to him and if I did it he wouldn’t get me in legal trouble and would give me more money so I put 400 in Apple Cash which is now locked. I’m just so scared and I can’t believe I was this stupid. I literally don’t know how to live with myself. I keep trying to think of it logically and I do know when the bank reverses the deposit I’ll not be in the negatives which is good I’m just extremely worried. I guess I ask how fucked do we think I am? Will I be okay?

Has anyone out here been the victim of a betting scam before? If so can you tell me how it happened and what, if anything, you were able to do about it?
