What we can do
We can refer a complaint to the operator's complaints team, follow up on the response and update the review if a pattern emerges. We cannot force a payout, overturn a KYC decision or release a frozen balance — those are regulatory steps. When we see a pattern — more than two readers reporting the same operator issue in a month — we update the brand review and add a note at the top of the page. If the pattern persists for three months without a response from the operator, we drop the score to reflect the problem.
We also keep an anonymised log of every complaint — operator name, type of issue, timeline, final outcome — and publish summary statistics in the yearly "industry note" piece. Readers can see how often disputes get resolved by the operator alone, how often they go to the regulator, and how often the player walks away without recovery.
Operator complaints
Account issues (bonus not credited, withdrawal delayed, KYC rejected) go to Mint Bet support first. Keep the ticket number. If support cannot help after five business days, escalate to the Curacao gaming authority named on the operator's licence page. Keep every email, chat transcript and ticket number from the operator while the dispute is open. The Curacao gaming authority accepts complaints by email in English and typically acknowledges within fourteen days. If the authority sides with you and the operator ignores the ruling, we add a one-line warning to the brand page.
For Australian players, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) handles complaints about illegal offshore gambling at acma.gov.au. If the operator is not on the ACMA permitted list, the complaint route changes — ACMA will investigate the operator rather than the specific transaction, which can take months and does not guarantee recovery of funds.
How to complain
To refer a complaint about an operator through us, email the editorial address with the operator name, your account email with the operator, a short timeline and screenshots of any support replies. Private data (passwords, card numbers) must not be attached. When you email the editorial address, please tell us whether you have already contacted the operator, how many days ago, and whether the issue is time-sensitive (frozen funds, pending KYC on a large withdrawal). We do not promise a specific outcome, but we read every message and reply within two business days.
If the operator has frozen a withdrawal pending KYC and more than thirty days have passed since you submitted documents, let us know — that is a specific pattern we track across operators. We keep sources confidential by default; if you want your name mentioned in a public note or a story, say so, otherwise we will not reveal that you contacted us.
