On 02/10/2024 I deposited money into my betrivers account, and they decided to lock my account. I have done nothing that violates their terms of service. I also have contacted them daily and have provided them with any documents or information they have asked for. I have received no information in return and have no resolution. I was speaking with a representative today who refused to escalate my issue to their supervisor, and was very rude to me and argumentative over an issue that was betrivers fault in the first place. I just want my money out of the account at this point, I will no longer be doing any business with betrivers. This is stealing.Business Response

Complaint: 21296941
I am rejecting this response because:Upon reinstatement of my betrivers account I no longer have any payment methods that I can personally use to deposit or withdrawal. In my opinion this manner is far resolved and I am frustrated with restriction still being imposed onto my account after verifying things multiple times.
Sincerely,

DO NOT TRUST betrivers.com. They are refusing to allow me to withdraw my money despite having a state-validated gaming account that has been connected to the same bank account for years. My bank account has been used for deposits and withdrawals for years, in fact my very last betrivers transaction was a withdrawal to the same account with no issues. I have made no ****** since my last completed withdrawal. Now betrivers is requiring me to provide sensitive financial information and biometric data to return my money. These are not state or federal AML requirements. No other online sports book requests this personal information. Betrivers is holding customer money hostage to allow their company to harvest personal information from their customers to solely benefit betrivers. They are taking advantage of every customer by refusing to return customer money. They are violating customer privacy protections for financial gain. DO NOT TRUST BETRIVERS.Business Response

Complaint: 21291875
I am rejecting this response because betrivers has no right to that private financial information, also because it is not a regulatory requirement as no other sportsbook requires it, and also because absolutely nothing has changed with my betrivers account or connected bank account since my last approved and completed withdrawal. Again, betrivers.com is holding customer money hostage so they can harvest private financial and biometric information from their customer base. This information grab is self serving for betrivers at the cost of customer privacy.

Hello! We are sorry for the inconvenience however, this process is outlined within our terms and conditions, specifically, section 5.3 under Account Applications and Registration. Once proper documentation has been uploaded, your withdrawal request would be approved soon after.Customer Answer
Date: 02/15/2024
Complaint: 21291875
I am rejecting this response because:Unconscionable terms and conditions do not supersede a citizen's legal right to privacy. The fact that state compliance does not require me to give you the requested personal information proves that this is a self-serving request. The fact that no other sportsbook attempts this data grab is evidence that it's not an industry or compliance necessity. My account is verified and has been per state requirements since it was opened. My bank account is established and no transaction has occurred in my betrivers account since my last withdrawal. This request for sensitive personal information is being made only to benefit betrivers. It is not a regulatory requirement and it violates my right to privacy.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 21291875
I am rejecting this response because: Of course the complaint should be further pursued, they are holding my money hostage. A few months ago, betrivers completed a withdrawal to my bank account. No further transactions have occurred in my betrivers account. Now I request to withdraw the rest of my funds and betrivers refuses without me surrendering private financial and biometric information. They have no legal right to my private information. They have always had everything they need to complete withdrawals. My account is verified by the state. This unreasonable request for private information is not a compliance issue and no other sportsbook in ******** requires this. I've made this case already. I thought BBB was an advocate. So far, BBB has simply passed on messages from the business and closed the case without any resolution. Betrivers is refusing to return money held in a trust account to the original depositing account. It is a scam, they are committing financial fraud. They need to return the funds to the account they took them from. Please help me get the money they are holding in trust for me back. Thank you,
Sincerely,

Complaint: 21291875
I am rejecting this response because:Rivers needs to stop parroting the same self-serving, canned message. Your requirement that I provide personal data to close my account and have my funds returned to me is a violation of my privacy and your fiduciary duty. I will not meet your unconscionable terms. Close my account and return the funds you are holding in trust for me to the account they were sent to you from. I want nothing more to do with your business and all consumers should avoid being taken advantage of by BetRivers.

Betrivers is constantly ripping off it's loyal customers. As soon as I get to their 10 they restricted my account. The vip host is a joke and never responds to emails. Support keeps telling me I will receive an email within 24 hours and it's been 3 weeks. Today after asking to have my accounts closed because of the straight disrespect from these people the lady tells me give her less than an hour and she will have my account unrestricted. Here it is the next day and it's still restricted. This casino is unbelievable and a total scam. It's sad that they can do this stuff and get away with it.. and I'm fed up with it so I have contacted a few people with the power to do something about this company and were gonna see what happens when it's addressed publicly in front of the nation.Business Response

Complaint: 21273723
I am rejecting this response because:After my account was restricted they sent me an email telling me to respond agreeing to their terms and they would lift the restrictions. I responded and they closed the case but never unrestricted my account. Crazy part is I'm a tier 10 member that deposits $100s every day of the week. As soon as they loaded free play money on my account they immediately restricted my account not even giving me the chance to play with the free money that I earned from being a VIP customer. I will be closing my accounts with all ******** casinos and letting them know it's because of betriver. Stick with online casinos that aren't going to rip you off when you spend $1000s with them. They won't last long treating their loyal customers like this that's for sure

Yesterday bet number ********** I won a bet where it says any team to win without allowing a goal and 3 teams won 5-0,3-0 and 3-0 and on my bet number ********* I had a team called farjestad vs hv 71 and it was 2-0 and it was graded a win. So both bets are the same and it won. If it was marked lost then that would be it but it won and they customer service does not want to fix the issue and issue the 700 dollars I would have won. They dont wanna pay up and I feel like a lawsuit should happen due to them not paying out.Business Response

I deposited just as normally do and they locked my account after approving my deposit and now for over 5 days have lied to me over and over wont unlock my account or money and wont refund my money. I literally did nothing: they did the same exact thing last year after I corrected a rep from calling me a gender. What I identify as is not his choice or place: and he continued then they locked me last year now I literally just deposit and boom for over a week and just like last year they allowed my bonuses to expire and do nothing about it.Business Response

On 1/7 I created a account. I had to verify documents. It took 2 days to verify and approve. I have the email. On the 19th. I deposited money. They requested my debit card document. On the 20th they approved and verified 521pm which I have the email. Immediately after that email at 522pm. They say my account is locked and to reach out to support. I reached out to support and they say they are doing another review and to wait for a email. I chatted with them yesterday and they said they were reviewing it currently and to wait for a email. This review has been going on for a week and still no answer in sight. Sounds like a scam. Account and documents approved. Then now account locked.Business Response
