Hey guys not really a major problem as I have the id I need to get my account unlocked. The thing is I just found it a little strange that betway locked my account.
I made an account on betway to have a few sports bets on the csgo majors. I only deposited £10 and didn't even take the offered bonus. Then I received an email a day or so later saying my account will be locked unless I can produce id.
I don't have a problem with this but I thought casinos would usually ask for id when you try to cash out.
As you may or may not know csgo has had a lot of problems with underage gambling over the last year and valve the company who owns the game is facing a class action lawsuit in the US.
Now betway are sponsoring twitch streamers to promote their site. How many of these streamers viewers are kids who will make an account just to get that £5 "free" bets that the streamer is promoting.
No wonder betway is locking accounts when they are advertising to children.

Editor's note: Betway was listed as an accredited casino for six years - from 2010 - 2016, and it was unfortunate that they decided to give us a "speak to the hand" gesture when it came to player complaints. Still an OK casino, they could use some better management training. I'll gladly volunteer to square them away. You can read Betway Review with the last updated info about withdrawals.
