withdrawal held for KYC on a bigger amount, is this normal

[deira_dev]

Looking for sanity checks from people who've cashed out bigger sums offshore.

Small withdrawals from this site have always been instant for me, three or four of them, USDT, minutes. This time I requested 2,300 USDT after a decent run and it's been sitting on pending for going on 30 hours. Support says enhanced verification, they want a fresh selfie with ID and a source of funds note.

I verified ID at signup so the selfie request is new. Is asking for source of funds on a bigger cashout normal practice, or is this the classic stalling tactic where they hope you reverse the withdrawal and gamble it back? Want to know if I should just send the docs and wait or start getting loud. Same site I logged times for in the withdrawal times thread, ironically.

This is the textbook threshold trigger and it's mostly normal, especially crossing a few thousand. Most offshore sites have an AML tier where a bigger or unusual withdrawal kicks in enhanced KYC, fresh selfie, sometimes source of funds. The fact your small ones flew through and this one tripped is consistent with that, not necessarily a scam.

Send the docs, clearly, good lighting, exact match to your account name. 30 hours is within normal for manual review. I'd only get worried if they keep inventing new requests after you've sent everything. That's the actual stall signal.

Normal in process, yes. But here's the uncomfortable part nobody likes hearing. Offshore means if they decide not to pay, your leverage is basically zero. No UAE regulator covers this, gambling isn't even legal here, so there's no authority to escalate to. The licence body in Curacao or wherever is slow and rarely helps individuals.

So do the right things, send the docs cleanly, stay polite, keep every screenshot. But this is also the reminder for everyone reading, don't let a balance grow to a number you'd be genuinely hurt to lose, because recourse is thin out here.

Send the documents and keep a timeline. I log timestamp of request, every support message, and what exactly they asked for.

One practical tip, source of funds for a winning streak just means explain it's gambling winnings from play on their own platform, reference your deposit history. Don't overcomplicate it or send bank statements you don't need to. Clear, matching name, done. If it pays after the docs, post the resolution time here so the next person knows what bigger cashouts look like.

Send the docs and wait it out, getting loud this early just slows their queue down on you.

Thirty hours on a 2,300 cashout with new KYC, that's irritating but it's not a refusal yet. I've had a four day one resolve fine. The withdrawals that genuinely vanish usually come with silence or moved goalposts, not a clear one off doc request. Update us when it lands.
