ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
So Bet365 sent me a message that my account is fully verified. But I looked up that it had sent the same message when I created the account seven months ago and did the Know Your Customer. So that's one reason why they don't get a perfect review from me. I mean definitely they delayed this withdrawal by asking me to send a document and kept rejecting it by creating new excuses and there were a couple of instances where they definitely lied to me. It took a little over a month with this process, which I guess it could have been worse.
But the positives are that, as you can guess from the title, I got the money, every last penny. I wouldn't recommend Bet365 instead of a brand with the same reputation or higher, but even with what I know now, I still would do the same bet on Bet365 instead of a less reputable brand. In my personal situation I will keep betting on Bet365 if there's good enough odds, now that my account is double-verified
