The player from Nepal faced difficulties with melbet's verification process, as his genuine utility bill for address verification was repeatedly rejected by the security team as "fake." Despite his cooperation and providing high-quality documentation, including a video verification and renewed driving license, he believed the team was using delay tactics, and his account was blocked with 130,000 NPR frozen. We investigated the case thoroughly, reviewed all submitted documents, and consulted with the casino. After careful consideration, we decided to close the complaint as unjustified due to reasonable grounds to believe document manipulation had occurred. The casino's actions were accepted as compliant with its terms and conditions, and the withdrawal cancellation and account blocking were upheld.
Casino Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino Guru and does that, do not share any information.
We only contact players through this official complaint thread or via @casino.guru e-mail addresses. Always check the sender’s domain and verify your complaint resolver’s e-mail address by clicking on their avatar visible inside the official complaint thread.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.
Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos takes KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process.
Do I understand correctly that the verification of your address is the last step in the KYC process? Additionally, do you currently still have access to your account?
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Thank you for your messages.to answer your question: yes, the address verification is the final step on my KYC process. Also, I still have access to my account.
Thank you for your response. Could you please forward all documents you provided to the casino for verification, along with any additional communication between you and the casino’s customer support?
"Dear Attila, I have just sent an email to you (attila.g@casino.guru) containing my National ID, Driving License, original Electricity Bill, and a Selfie with my ID. I have also attached a screenshot where Melbet threatened to ignore my messages. Please check your inbox for these documents. Thank you!"
Thank you for your cooperation and for providing all the necessary information. I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve taken to share everything with us so far.
Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver, Mirka (miroslava.d@casino.guru). This is a standard step in our procedure, as the Resolver will take over communication with the casino directly and manage your case from this point onward.
No action is required from you right now. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if any additional details are needed. You can rest assured that your case is in very capable hands.
I wish you the best of luck and hope your case will be resolved to your satisfaction soon.
We apologize for the delay you have experienced with the verification process and understand your concern.
So that we can review the current status of the verification with the responsible team and provide an update, we kindly ask the user to confirm the email address registered on the account and let us know when the last time a response was received from the security team at security@melbet.com.
I am updating my complaint with additional evidence. As you can see in the attached screenshots, I have already provided the requested utility bill multiple times in the past.
Despite my previous submissions, Melbet's security department is repeating the same request for documents instead of verifying my account. This clearly shows they are intentionally delaying my withdrawal of 130,000 NPR.
I am attaching:
1. The screenshot of my previous email where I sent the bill.
2. The screenshot of my latest email (with Info Nepal in CC).
3. The clear photo of the utility bill itself (in my name: BUDDHI LAL BAL).
Please look into this repetitive behavior of Melbet and help me get my funds.
Update: I have officially filed a formal regulatory complaint with the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) at complaints@cga.cw regarding the persistent delay and non-responsiveness from Melbet.
I have also kept the Melbet Security Department and their local support in Cc to ensure they are aware of this escalation. Despite providing the specific utility bill they requested, I have been ignored for over a month. I hope this step helps in speeding up the verification of my 130,000 NPR withdrawal.
Update: Melbet has now officially BLOCKED my account and frozen my 130,000 NPR. Following my notification to them about escalating this to the regulator (CGA), they have retaliated by accusing me of providing "forged documents" without offering any technical proof. I have provided original PDF utility bills and digital payment receipts, but they are ignoring my evidence. This is a clear case of intimidation to avoid paying out my winnings. I request Casino Guru to escalate this to their management immediately.
I would like you to know we are still investigating the matter.
Sometimes, when similar situations happen, casinos request, or are willing to perform a video verification call, where player participates, shows verification documents, and answer some questions from casino representative. In some cases, multiple people can be invited to attend these calls at the same time. Would you be willing to participate in this type of video call, if it was proposed?
I am fully willing to participate in a video verification call if proposed by the casino. I have all my original identity documents and utility bills ready to show during the call to prove my identity and the authenticity of my account.
Please let me know if there are any further steps I need to take or if a date for the call has been proposed. I look forward to resolving this issue soon.
According to the information received from the relevant department, the document provided for address verification has been identified as forged and therefore cannot be accepted.
We kindly ask the user to submit original documents in accordance with the criteria previously indicated by the security team, so they can review them accordingly.
I strongly deny Melbet's accusation. My documents are 100% original and I have not forged anything. I don't have a video right now, but I can provide new high-quality photos of my documents or even do a live video call to prove they are authentic.
This is just an excuse from Melbet to avoid paying my balance of 130,563 NPR. Please give me a chance to prove my identity through other methods. I am a victim of their unfair tactics.
Could you please confirm, if there is any one in your household, that has an account in Melbet Casino?
Which devices and types of internet connection you used to register or login to Melbet?
Could there be any instance, in which you used someone else's device to login to your Mellbet account, or someone else used yours to join to their account?
Please also send me a 30 second video in a good quallity, in which you show your verificartion documents and yourself to miroslava.d@casino.guru.
Thank you for your follow-up. I have already sent the 30-second verification video to your email (miroslava.d@casino.guru) as requested. In the video, I am holding my original Citizenship, Driving License, and Utility Bill.
To clarify:
- No one else in my household uses Melbet.
- I only use my personal device and private internet.
- I have no information regarding multiple IDs; I only maintain this single account for my personal use.
Regarding the issue with my driving license, I would like to clarify if there are any specific concerns besides the expiration date.
Currently, my license is in the renewal process here in Nepal. In our country, the process to receive the physical hard copy of a renewed license takes a significant amount of time.
Could you please clarify how the expiration date is affecting the verification? If the expired hard copy is the only issue, would it be acceptable to provide my Valid Government ID (Citizenship) along with the Official Renewal Receipt to prove that my license is being updated?
After gathering and reviewing all the necessary information and details, we decided to close this complaint as unjustified. There are reasonable grounds to believe that you were engaging in manipulation of the documents, that is why we are unable to provide you support in this case. Please note, that without satisfying casino's verification requirements, it is not possible to successfully withdraw money from any online casino.
The casino acted in accordance with its terms and conditions, and we accept its decision to cancel your withdrawal and block your casino account.
Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
