You may assume that a new account automatically receives its welcome bonus as soon as you make a first deposit, and that belief costs you when the balance shows only the deposit and no bonus. The most common cause is that the bonus was never claimed before the deposit or that an ineligible payment route was used. The checks below address what you can actually do about it.
Welcome bonus and free spins missing after sign-up
You finish registration, deposit, and then see a plain cash balance with no bonus and no spin counter. Likely causes:
- The welcome offer was not claimed from its page before the first deposit.
- The deposit method used falls outside the offer conditions.
- A bonus code was needed but left blank.
- The same player already holds an active bonus on another account.
- Free spins were attached to a specific game and not opened yet.
What to do:
- Open the promotions area and find the welcome offer again. It may still show as available on your account.
- Claim the offer first, then deposit, so the system ties the two together.
- If a code is part of the offer, enter it exactly, including capital letters, before confirming the deposit.
- Check that the payment route you used is one the offer accepts. A bank transfer often falls outside bonus conditions.
- Open the game tied to the free spins. Spins sometimes appear only inside that game.
- Close any other bonus on the account. Overlapping offers block the new one.
- Look at the bonus balance separately from the cash balance. Some layouts hide it below the main figure.
- Refresh the page after a few minutes. Delayed crediting does happen.
- Use the chat support at betmgm.com.nl with your username and the deposit reference, and ask where the bonus stands. Do not send card numbers in a chat window.
- Retry with a different accepted payment route if the first one was the issue.
- Make sure you deposited after claiming, not before.
- Note the exact offer name you claimed, so support can locate it.
- If the bonus stays absent after the deposit cleared and the offer shows as claimed, contact support once with the offer name and the deposit reference.
Contact support when the offer shows as claimed, the deposit has fully cleared and no bonus appears after a short wait; one message with the offer name and deposit reference is enough.
Deposit taken by the bank but missing from the casino balance
Your bank or payment service shows the money gone, yet the casino balance still reads the same as before. Likely causes:
- The deposit was sent but the casino has not yet received confirmation.
- The payment reference was missing or wrong, so the deposit cannot be matched to your account.
- The deposit went to a different wallet, card or account than the one registered.
- A bank-side hold or security review is slowing the transfer.
- The deposit was made while a bonus was being claimed and the balance display did not refresh.
What to do:
- Keep the bank reference or receipt from the payment.
- Wait a short while and refresh the page, then sign out and back in.
- Check the transaction history inside your account. A pending entry means it is being processed.
- Confirm the payment went to the details shown in your account, not to an old or saved recipient.
- If the reference was missing, prepare the bank receipt for support.
- Do not send the same deposit again while the first is pending.
- Check whether your bank placed a hold and ask them to release it if so.
- If the payment left a card, confirm the card is still active and not expired.
- Save a screenshot of the bank line with the reference visible.
- Contact support through the site’s help channel with the reference and the amount.
- Do not share full card numbers, CVVs or banking passwords in any message.
- If the amount is large, ask your bank for a trace reference as well.
- Contact support once the bank shows the payment as completed and the casino balance still lacks it, with the reference, date and amount.
Games and pages failing to load in a phone browser
A game spins on a blank screen, the lobby freezes or a page shows an error in the phone browser. Likely causes:
- A weak or unstable mobile connection.
- Old browser data or a cached version of the site.
- A browser setting that blocks scripts or pop-ups the game needs.
- Too many tabs or background apps using memory.
- A game provider endpoint temporarily unavailable.
What to do:
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see whether one works.
- Clear the browser cache and cookies, then reload the site.
- Open the site in a private or incognito window to bypass old data.
- Allow scripts and pop-ups for the site in the browser settings.
- Close unused tabs and background apps to free memory.
- Update the phone browser to its latest version.
- Try one specific game directly rather than loading the whole lobby first.
- Restart the phone and open the site again.
- Test a second browser to separate a browser fault from a network fault.
- Turn off any ad blocker or script blocker for the site.
- Check that the phone date and time are set automatically; a wrong clock breaks secure connections.
- Move closer to the router or use a stronger signal.
- Try at a later time if only one game fails while others load.
- Contact support when the site fails in two different browsers on a stable connection, naming the game and the error text.
Identity check stuck or documents turned down
The account shows verification pending for a long time, or a submitted document comes back marked as rejected. Likely causes:
- The photo is blurred, cropped or has glare across the text.
- A corner of the document or the whole edge is cut off.
- The name or address on the document does not match the account details.
- The document is expired or a type the casino does not accept.
- A selfie was taken in poor light or with the face partly covered.
What to do:
- Use the original document, not a photocopy or a screen photo.
- Place it on a flat, dark surface in bright, even light.
- Capture all four corners and the full data page in one frame.
- Keep your fingers and any shadows off the text.
- For a selfie, face the light and remove hats, sunglasses or masks.
- Make sure the account name and address match the document exactly, including middle names.
- Submit one document type at a time and wait for the outcome before adding more.
- If a document was rejected, read the rejection reason and fix that point first.
- Check that the file is a common image or PDF format and not too large.
- Do not send documents by ordinary email; use the secure upload in your account.
- Keep a copy of what you sent and the date.
- If a document expires soon, replace it before submitting.
- Allow the review to finish before uploading the same file again.
- Contact support when a document has been rejected twice without a clear reason, and ask which detail failed.
One habit prevents most of these problems: claim any offer before you deposit, and after each payment keep the reference until the balance and the bonus both show correctly.
