«Why is my 20Bet bonus not showing?» appears when the bonus or free spins sit uncredited after the deposit clears, and the usual cause is a missed step in the offer conditions, most often a code that was never entered or was typed with the wrong field selected. The same screen often hides a second problem: the deposit itself did not match what the offer required.
Welcome bonus and free spins that never arrive
The player sees the deposit confirmed in the balance but no bonus line in the rewards area, and the spins counter stays at zero.
- The 20bet bonus code was not entered at deposit, or was typed into the wrong box.
- The deposit was made before the offer was chosen, so it counts as a plain deposit.
- The deposit amount or payment route sits outside what the offer accepts.
- The account already used a welcome offer, and only one is allowed per player.
- A duplicate account under the same name or device has already claimed the offer.
- Open the rewards or bonus area and confirm whether the offer shows as active or used. A used offer will not credit twice.
- Find the code you applied and compare it character by character with the one shown for the offer. A single swapped letter is enough to void it.
- Apply the 20bet promo code in the promotional field before you confirm the deposit, not after it lands.
- Retype the code into the field the offer names. Some offers ask for it in the deposit form, others in a separate promo box.
- Make the next deposit with the code already in place and the offer selected, so the system links the payment to the bonus.
- Keep the deposit within the range the offer accepts and on a payment route that qualifies.
- Check your inbox and spam folder for a message confirming the bonus was applied, since a rejected code often produces a notice.
- Open the rewards area again after the deposit settles; a bonus that was applied but not shown usually appears there once the payment clears.
- Write down the date, the code you used and the deposit reference before you raise a ticket. 20Bet Canada support can trace the claim faster with those details.
Contact support when the offer still shows neither active nor used after a qualifying deposit and the code was applied before payment.
Identity checks that stay stuck or reject documents
The player uploads documents and sees them marked as pending for a long stretch, or receives a rejection notice without a clear reason.
- Photos are blurred, cropped or caught a glare, so the text cannot be read.
- A corner or edge of the document is cut off in the picture.
- The name or address on the document differs from the account details.
- The document has expired or is a copy rather than the original.
- Only one side of a two-sided document was sent.
- Reopen the verification area and note which document is still pending and which was rejected. They need different actions.
- For a rejected document, replace it rather than resubmitting the same file, since the same fault will be refused again.
- Photograph the document flat on a plain surface in good light, with all four corners inside the frame.
- Check that no shadow, finger or reflection covers the photo page, the number or the portrait.
- Send both sides when the document has information on the back, even if the front looks complete.
- Make sure the name, date of birth and address on the document match what the account holds; a mismatch is a common rejection.
- Use a fresh document if the one on file has passed its expiry date.
- Upload each file only once and wait for the pending state to change before sending more copies, which can slow the review.
- Keep a plain copy of each uploaded file, so a second request can be answered without hunting for the originals.
Contact support when a document is rejected repeatedly despite clear photos and matching details, or when the pending state never moves.
A withdrawal that stays pending longer than expected
The player requests a payout and finds it listed as pending, with the balance still showing the amount as unavailable.
- Identity verification is unfinished, and payouts wait until it is complete.
- Bonus funds are still tied to wagering that has not been met.
- The payout goes to a route that differs from the one used to deposit.
- The request was made before an earlier pending payout was resolved.
- The account is under review for a linked duplicate or a payment dispute.
- Open the withdrawal history and read the status word on the request. Pending, processing and paid mean different things.
- Check the verification area for any document still awaiting review, since a payout cannot clear before it does.
- Review whether a bonus was active on the account and whether its play conditions were finished.
- Send the payout to the same route you used for the deposit where the rules require it.
- Clear any older pending request first if a newer one is blocked behind it.
- Confirm the payment details on file are current and spelled exactly as the account holder’s name.
- Avoid starting a second request while the first is open, as duplicate requests can hold each other up.
- Keep the request reference and the deposit records for the same period in one place.
- Wait for the stated review window to pass before treating the payout as delayed.
- Send a ticket with the request reference, the date and the route used once that window has clearly passed.
Contact support when the status has not changed after the review window and every document and bonus condition is already settled.
Logins refused or an account locked after failed attempts
The player types the password and the screen returns an error, or a lock notice appears after several tries in a row.
- The password was typed with the wrong keyboard language or caps lock on.
- An old password is saved in the browser and fills the field automatically.
- Too many failed tries triggered a temporary lock for safety.
- The account is tied to an email or phone number the player no longer uses.
- A second account created by mistake is being used instead of the first.
- Retype the password by hand into a blank field rather than accepting the saved one.
- Check caps lock, the keyboard language and any trailing space at the end of the entry.
- Try the login on a phone browser to rule out a browser extension or stored data on the computer.
- Use the password reset link sent to the email on the account if the password is not certain.
- Follow the reset link once and set a new password you have not used elsewhere.
- If a lock notice appears, stop retrying, since more attempts extend the lock.
- Return after the lock period stated on screen and try once with the new password.
- Confirm the email and phone on the account are ones you can still reach, and update them through support if not.
- Keep one account only, as a duplicate login is a common reason for a lock that will not clear.
Contact support when the lock outlasts the period shown on screen or the reset email never arrives.
Quick Reference
These are the four faults with the first thing to inspect for each.
| Problem | Usual cause | First check |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus or free spins missing | Code not applied or offer already used | Rewards area status for the offer |
| Documents rejected | Blurred photo or mismatched details | Which document is pending or refused |
| Withdrawal pending | Verification or bonus play unfinished | Status word in withdrawal history |
| Locked out | Repeated failed attempts | The lock notice and its stated period |
| Wrong account | Second account created by mistake | Which email the reset link reaches |
A bonus claim fails most often because the code was applied after the deposit rather than before it. Document rejections usually come from a photo fault, not from the document itself. Pending payouts and open verification are linked, so finishing one clears the other. A lock clears on its own once the attempts stop, so retrying makes it last longer. Players who keep one account and one set of current contact details avoid most lockouts. Reading the offer conditions before depositing removes nearly every bonus dispute.
Do the code entry and the document upload before the first deposit, and most of these problems never appear.
