A mistyped password left you facing a locked account message instead of your balance, and that lock is the symptom most players hit first. Failed attempts piling up on one account are the usual cause behind it.
Welcome bonus and free spins missing after a deposit
You funded the account but the balance shows the deposit only, with no bonus and no free spins attached. Several causes sit behind a missing reward.
- The deposit was made before the bonus was selected or a code was entered.
- The payment did not complete or was cancelled at the provider stage.
- The account already held a bonus that blocks a second one.
- Some games do not count toward bonus play, so the balance appears unchanged.
- The bonus was credited but sits in a separate bonus balance not shown on the main screen.
- Open your transaction history and confirm the deposit shows as completed, not pending.
- Check whether a welcome bonus or free spins entry appears next to that deposit.
- Log out, then log in again so the balance refreshes on the server side.
- Load the game tied to the free spins directly instead of the lobby thumbnail.
- Confirm you claimed the offer on the same account that made the deposit.
- If a code was needed, re-enter it exactly as given, with no spaces.
- Remember that a bonus already active on the account can hold back a second welcome reward.
- Play a qualifying game to see whether the bonus balance moves as you wager.
- Refresh the page on your phone browser if the bonus panel looks empty.
- Wait for the deposit to settle fully in case the provider sent confirmation late.
- Take a screenshot of the transaction history showing the completed deposit.
- Note the time of the deposit and the offer name you claimed.
- Contact support with those details if the reward still does not appear after the deposit settles.
Repeated failed attempts and account locks
A red message tells you the credentials are wrong or the account is locked, and the login form refuses every retry. mystakeuk.org blocks the account on purpose after several wrong entries to stop password guessing.
- The password was typed with a capital letter or a trailing space by mistake.
- Autofill on the phone browser inserted an old saved password.
- Wrong keyboard language or layout changed characters as you typed.
- Too many attempts within a short window triggered the lock.
- The email address on the account differs from the one being entered.
- Stop retrying at once, since more attempts extend the lock.
- Type the password by hand instead of letting the browser fill it.
- Switch the password field to visible text and read each character.
- Check that the email has no stray space before or after it.
- Try the password reset link sent to the email registered on the account.
- Open the reset link in a fresh browser tab and set a new password.
- Use a new password you have not used on other sites.
- Clear the saved password for the site in your browser settings.
- Close the browser fully and reopen the site for a clean session.
- Log in once with the new password and avoid repeating entries.
- Turn off any password manager autofill for this domain.
- Keep the reset email open in case you need to repeat the process.
- Contact support if the reset link does not arrive or the lock stays in place.
Identity checks stalled or documents turned down
Your verification sits at pending, or a document comes back marked as rejected with no clear reason. Small photo flaws and mismatched details cause most rejections.
- The photo is blurred, cropped or shows glare across the text.
- A corner of the document is cut off or the expiry date is hidden.
- The name or address on the document differs from the account details.
- A selfie was taken in poor light or with the face partly covered.
- Only one side of a two-sided document was uploaded.
- Retake each photo in daylight with the whole document in frame.
- Keep all four corners visible and avoid shadows from your hand.
- Capture both sides when the document has information on the back.
- Use the original document, not a scan of a photocopy.
- Match the name spelling on the account to the document exactly.
- Update your profile details before uploading again if they differ.
- Upload files in the format the form accepts, such as a common image type.
- Take the selfie facing a window so your face is evenly lit.
- Remove hats, sunglasses and anything covering your face for the selfie.
- Submit one document set at a time rather than several mixed files.
- Watch the verification status change in your account area after each upload.
- Contact support with the rejection message if a clear, complete document is still turned down.
Withdrawals pending longer than expected
The withdrawal shows as pending while your balance stays locked, and the status does not move. A queue behind an unfinished check is the most common reason.
- Identity verification is still open on the account.
- The payout method details do not match the account holder name.
- Bonus play requirements are not yet finished, so the funds are held.
- The request was made during a busy period and sits in a queue.
- An earlier withdrawal is still being handled, which blocks a second one.
- Open the withdrawal history and note the exact status shown.
- Check the verification area for any open document request.
- Finish any outstanding identity step before expecting the payout to move.
- Confirm the payout details carry the same name as your account.
- Review whether an active bonus still needs play before funds are released.
- Cancel nothing unless you truly want the request reversed, since cancelling returns funds to play.
- Wait for the current request to finish before starting another.
- Refresh the history page once rather than clicking repeatedly.
- Keep the confirmation screen or a screenshot of the request.
- Check your email for any message about missing details.
- Answer any document request in full rather than in parts.
- Note the time you submitted the request and its reference if one is shown.
- Contact support with the reference if the status stays pending after verification is complete.
Log out after each session instead of leaving the account open in a background tab, and keep your profile details current. That single habit removes most failed logins, lockouts and verification mismatches before they start.
