After spending on slots and at only 20p to 40p per go, realising I'd put £125 on and got 2 features for that amount of spins it's time to close the account as I don't mind losing but at least make it fair and give the punter some sort of enjoyment. The law of averages would dictate you would get more features. I would advise anyone to stay away from this site.

Marathonbet refuse to pay me my money without any explanation
I started using Marathonbet at the beginning of 2021 and had no problems as long as I was losing. I once won a relatively big amount playing roulette, and when I decided to withdraw part of my winnings, the nightmare began. They asked me to send a copy of my ID again, despite the fact that my account had been verified and I had already made two withdrawals (bank transfers). They then sent me an email saying my account had been verified. One day later, they asked me for a selfie with my ID, saying that my account had been chosen for a random verification process. It took a couple of complaints and around two weeks for them to verify my account. They then sent me an email saying the withdrawal request had been processed, but it’s been two weeks and the money hasn’t appeared in my bank account yet. I’ve sent them several emails and contacted them via the live chat, and they said the payments team will conduct an investigation and contact me whenever they reach a conclusion. I think they’re trying to come up with excuses to keep my money, and I really don’t know what else I can do. It’s been a really annoying experience. Stay away from Marathonbet.

Please do not put any money into this site.I have had £3,000 in there for 4 months, never placed a bet, and always replied with the documents they need. They can take up to a month per email, and always seem to find a reason to require further documents, to keep your money locked in their hands. I gave up 4 weeks ago, and have had a pending withdrawal of £3,000 for that time. I will give them the benefit of doubt of being incompetent and understaffed, but without that, it looks like a scam, to hold your money for as long as they can under the guise of verification checks. This site, amongst many, stands out as a complete disgrace.

Was happy at first with fast withdrawals and best odds. After a couple of weeks I wanted to withdraw £100 (not even in front with them). All of a sudden I was asked for a security check and was asked to provide two photo I'd and another proof of address. I sent my passport, birth certificate, a council tax bill and my photo Id of my support workers badge. I was told I needed another photo Id of either driving license, military id or national id card! As I am not a driver I don't have a driving license I've never been in the military and don't have a national Id card. I explained this when I phoned their head office but to no avail. I offered to take a selfie there and then or go on video chat to Proove it is Me, but to no avail! My only option now is I have applied for a provisional driving license at cost,and inconvenience to myself. My account has been limited to a maximum of 21p per bet on horse racing/football but im allowed to do up to £100 spins on slots and still deposit what I want?? I'm not even winning on this site? I am really upset and annoyed about this matter and will be taking this further to the relevant authorities. The slots on this site are terrible And if you are lucky enough to get free spins at 50p stake you average approx £4. My name is Maria Hannigan and this is my husbands account on trust pilot as I don't have one. Myself Maria Hannigan has wrote this review and my husband has posted it for me.

Outdated interface, You WILL get limited if you win
Interface is really outdated and no promotion for new clients (sports betting). They do have some of the best odds for some markets (they even advertise it), but you won't get to profit from it unless you are a loser overall. Like many reviews said, you will get limited to 0,35$ per market if you start winning even a little bit. I got limited after 11bets (10w-1L) on mostly main markets (NFL) and playing huge favourites. only won 200$.My withdrawal went correctly and without fee.If you were to play with them, I strongly advise to at least roll-over once your bankroll not too late (probably in their AML rules), because you might encounter problem trying to withdraw if they limit you before that, and it might take some time to do with a 0,35$ limit per market.

Marathon Bet - Balance not paid
They put my account under review for more than 2 weeks, then said that I was not using my account for genuine betting purposes, also that all my winnings were cancelled and that the remaining balance was used to pay the commission fees, that they considered this case closed They didn't give me any explanation of why they thought that I was not using my account for genuine betting purposes nor proved that I was making an incorrect use of the account, which of course I wasn't, I only used it for betting on live casino blackjack. The confiscate 1125 USD to pay commission fees !!! without any explanation, there is no way that the commission fees can be as high as that!

Marathon Bet - The casino took some of the winning
Verification of my account has been on going since July 23rd, 2019. Marathon Beth checked my account for an obscene long time, which caused a lot of inconvenience. On September 27, I received a message that my account was blocked because casino think I used account "not for game". I bet, play, verify, everything according to casino rules. I think they got it wrong, when closed my account, confiscated some of my funds. I didn 't break the rules. The rules are created to be adhered by both sides of the legal relationship, so I ask the casino to specify a clause of the rules that I allegedly violated. I also request evidence of this "violation". I confident in my actions and I know that I didn 't break anything. At the beginning of the verification of my account there were 5,540 dollars, I received 4329.53, the rest of the casino kept, stating that according to the rules of the company Marathonbet decided to withhold fees paid for processing money entered and withdrawn to your account. I thought the casino confiscated $1210. 47. It 's not commission, [EDIT]. In the casino rules there is no right of the casino to confiscate more than 20% of the win, it is audacity on their part. I 'm asking you to reconsider my case and return 1210. 47 dollars to my account.

Marathon Bet - The casino took my money and closed my account
Hello. My account was blocked because I allegedly use it not for the game. At first, I sure I used the account for the game. I don 't know more ways to use the account at the casino. Besides, what evidence does the casino have to? I want to see it. In the last letter, casino support wrote that they had "reason to believe" there was a breach. The assumption and suspicion is not yet a breach, so it doesn 't give them the right to pick up my winnings. Further, it seems suspicious to me that they block my account when I win a significant amount. I think it 's an attempt not to give me a legitimate win by deceptive means.

Marathon Bet - The casino blocked my account and took my winnings
I registrated in the casino on October 03, 2019. I 've been playing an active game a long time, I haven 't broken the rules and I 've been making a lot of bets. I provided documents for verification and received withdrawals several times. On November 4, I wanted to get a withdrawal as usual, but my account was put under further review. The inspection lasted until November 20. Support dramatically changed position and claims that I did not use the account for game purposes. Such an accusation should have serious grounds and evidence, I do not want to denigrate my reputation with suspicion of serious criminal acts. They have cancelled my account and are not going to enter into correspondence with me. I tried to contact them, but they refuse to cooperate and respond with similar answer. I assumed that the casino would faithfully fulfill the obligation to pay the winnings. Please, help me resolve my problem. I want the casino to return the confiscated money of $670 to my account.
