Occasionally a player will find that their eSport betting online withdrawal request is taking longer than usual to be processed or that it's been blocked altogether. The reasons for this can vary, with all cases being different.

However, common sense is that the player hasn't sufficiently gotten through the identification process - particularly true when a withdrawal request is blocked. Laws enforced by governments and rules enshrined by regulatory bodies require betting websites to verify the identity of players before any winnings can be withdrawn. Security regulations such as anti-money laundering and anti-fraud laws are also enforced.

If a betting site cannot verify the identity of a customer or fraud is suspected, then payment will be blocked until these issues can be resolved. Should a payment be blocked, or delayed pending additional checks, then the betting site will let the customer know and highlight any steps that need to be taken to get the withdrawal finalised.

To prevent this from happening, players should ensure they have completed all verification steps requested during a withdrawal request - such as supplying copies of suitable identification and proof of address documents. In the rare instance that a player feels their withdrawal has been unfairly blocked or withheld, complaints can be made to the betting site. They can also be escalated to independent adjudicators.
