A problem with money withdrawal
I'm extremely unhappy with what I'm currently experiencing with betway. I have deposited money from my bank account into my betway account, and i played with some of the money with no wins. Then I needed to use the rest of the money that was left in my betway account. I withdrew the money via the EFT method, it was left on pending and after 3 days it bounced back into my betway account. I don't know what is wrong with betway these days because I have been withdrawing without hassles but now because it's more money than the usual previous completed withdrawals its an issue. If you ask me I would say that is totally giving suspicious vibes. Betway, I need back my money please... I don't want to gamble it anymore, release it please. I even did documents verification and 2 were already approved, now the problem is uploading my ID since the system doesn't allow me to upload it but I did sent everything into their Fica email. I tried to communicate with the online agents and still no way forward. And its been 2 weeks now with no luck of withdrawal. I think you need to be more considerate. Please look into to the matter as im desperate and in need to use my money ASAP. Thank you

In SA our intuition is backed by law: If a gambling operator makes a decision like freezing/ terminating an account based on an automated system / profiling, and they dont explain the logic to you, they are likely in breach of the PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT ( POPIA )
The fact that you also rep**** with an email about your system detecting a breach of your terms and conditions, you are also failing the POPIA requirement for meaningful human. I need a fair resolvement in this matter or I have no choice to escalate it.
Section 71 of POPIA ( THE RIGHT TO KNOW "WHY" )
1. "You cannot be subjected to a decision that has substantial consequences for you ( like losing a large payout) if that decision is based solely on the automated processing of your data."
Betway is legally required to provide me with sufficient information about underlying logic of that processing. The transparency is required, who made that decision? if it's the automated system that made the decision, I have the right to a human being at the company to actually listen to my side of the story and review the automated decision.
If it's a human that made the decision to terminate and take my money , I still deserve to know how he/she made that decision.
Please, Betway do the right thing and follow the POPIA law, that way everyone will be happy.
PLEASE PAY ME BACK MY MONEY. I NEED IT!!

I really tried and I think now it's time for the Provincial Gambling Board, Ombudsman and the National Consumer Commission to deal with this matter and deal with Betway decisively.
Thank you for wasting my time. And its not the last time you hear from me.
