A Mystake login that stalls on the identity check is the symptom most players notice first, and it almost always comes from a document the system could not match to the account details. The casino cannot move money or credit rewards until that match succeeds.
Identity verification that stays stuck or fails
The player uploads a document and the account stays in a pending state, sometimes with a rejection notice that names no clear reason. The usual causes are:
- A photo that is blurred, cropped or shows glare across the text.
- A name, date of birth or address that differs from the registration details.
- A document that has expired or is a copy rather than the original.
- A proof of address in someone else’s name or older than the casino accepts.
- Several uploads sent at once, which leaves the file set unclear.
- Take the photo on a flat surface in daylight and keep all four corners visible.
- Compare the spelling of your name with the account profile before uploading again.
- Use the same document type the casino asked for, not a substitute.
- Upload one file per request and wait for the reply before adding more.
- Make sure the address document shows your name and current address clearly.
- Submit the front and back of an ID when both sides carry information.
- Reduce the file size only if the upload fails, and keep the text legible.
- Reopen the verification page in the phone browser rather than a second device.
- Note the date of each submission so you can describe the sequence later.
- If a rejection notice appears, correct only the point it names.
- Wait for the review to finish before sending a fresh set of documents.
Contact support when a rejection notice gives no reason you can act on, or when your documents are clear and the pending state does not move.
Welcome bonus or free spins that never arrive
A player registers, makes the first deposit and still sees no bonus balance or spin counter. Possible reasons:
- The deposit was made before the bonus was selected or a code entered.
- The deposit method or amount did not qualify for the offer.
- The account already held a bonus that blocks a second one.
- The bonus was credited but sits in a separate balance the player has not opened.
- Verification was still pending when the deposit landed.
- Open the bonus section and check whether the offer shows as active or claimed.
- Look for a separate bonus balance next to the cash balance.
- Confirm the deposit was completed, not merely started, on your bank side.
- Re-enter the code if the offer needed one and the field stayed empty.
- Finish identity verification first, because a pending check can hold rewards back.
- Clear any older bonus that is still active before claiming a new one.
- Log out and back in through https://www.mystakeuk.org/ so the balance refreshes.
- Reload the page in the phone browser instead of switching to another device.
- Repeat the deposit only if support confirms the first one did not qualify.
- Keep a screenshot of the offer as it appeared when you claimed it.
- Watch the bonus balance for a short while before assuming it failed.
Contact support when the offer shows as claimed but no bonus or spins appear anywhere in the account.
A deposit that left the bank but not the balance
The bank statement shows the payment as sent or completed while the casino balance stays unchanged. The likely causes are:
- The payment is still travelling between the bank and the casino.
- The deposit was sent to details that do not belong to your account.
- The account is unverified, so the funds are held until the check ends.
- A duplicate attempt was made after the first one looked slow.
- The payment came from a source in another person’s name.
- Take a screenshot of the bank entry showing the amount and reference.
- Return to the cashier and refresh the balance before doing anything else.
- Do not send the deposit a second time while the first is unresolved.
- Check that the payment reference matches the one the cashier gave you.
- Complete any outstanding identity check, since held funds are released after it.
- Confirm the sending account is in your own name.
- Note the exact time the bank marked the payment as sent.
- Log out, log in again and look at the transaction history inside the account.
- Keep the reference number ready for any message to support.
- Compare the currency of the payment with the currency of your balance.
- Wait for the bank entry to move from pending to completed before escalating.
Contact support when the bank shows the payment as completed and the casino history still lists nothing after a reasonable wait.
A withdrawal still pending longer than expected
The request sits in a pending state and the balance does not change, or the money leaves the balance but never reaches the bank. Common reasons:
- Identity verification is incomplete or a document was rejected.
- An active bonus still carries unfinished conditions.
- The payout details differ from the name on the account.
- An earlier withdrawal is still being handled.
- The request was split into several smaller payouts.
- Open the withdrawal history and note the status of every request.
- Finish any outstanding verification before sending a new request.
- Clear or complete an active bonus so it no longer blocks the payout.
- Match the payout account name exactly to the casino profile name.
- Cancel and resubmit only if support tells you the first request cannot proceed.
- Check that the payout details were saved, not just typed into the form.
- Wait for one request to finish before starting another.
- Look for a split payout, where part of the sum may already have arrived.
- Keep your bank statement open so you can compare entries.
- Reload the withdrawal page in the phone browser to see the current status.
- Write down the reference of each request you send.
Contact support when the status stays pending after verification is complete and no bonus is active on the account.
Quick Reference
The table below pairs each problem with its usual cause and the first thing worth checking.
| Problem | Usual cause | First check |
|---|---|---|
| Verification stuck | Unclear or mismatched document | Name spelling against the profile |
| Bonus not credited | Offer not selected or deposit not qualified | Bonus section status and separate balance |
| Deposit missing | Payment still in transit or account unverified | Bank reference against the cashier entry |
| Withdrawal pending | Verification or active bonus blocking payout | Payout account name against the profile |
Most of these cases come down to a mismatch between the account profile and the document, the payment or the payout account. A small spelling difference in a name is enough to hold a review. Sending one clear document beats sending several unclear ones. Players who finish verification before their first deposit rarely meet these delays. The status page inside the account is the first place to look, because it names the stage your request has reached. When you write to support, one message with the reference and a screenshot moves faster than several short ones.
Complete the identity check and confirm your payment details before your first deposit, and most of these holds never appear.
