    Betcity scam: blocked my account

    Sorry for my english but I'm italian.I wanted to warn you to stay away from Betcity (ex betsbc.com) because they put in place a real scam. After a 5-6 bets placed (I do not remember exactly) I have limited the bet to 0.01 EUR and then blocked the bill with the money still inside. I contacted the support via email and they asked me a thousand documents and photos: ID card, driving license, photo of the face, my photo while I hold the ID card, my photo while I have ID card + sheet on which there is written today's date by hand etc.In the end they are stuck on the passport that I do not have, or rather I have not renewed.So now almost a month has passed and I've lost hope. I open this thread only to warn other users not to pay even a penny to these thieves.

    Sorry to hear about your trouble Astonishing. If you haven't already, fill out a complaint form and one of our dispute analysts will try to assist you. If Betcity is demanding a passport though you may be stuck unless you renew it. Hopefully not though! http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sportsbook-complaint/

    Usually it's possible to replace international passport, if you don't have, to another document for verification

    All solved. Miraculously this morning I unlocked the account and I could withdraw. Immediately I requested the closure of the account also because I had been limited to 0.01 euros on all events
