How to verify an account in MuchBetter?

In order to take full advantage of MuchBetter, increase limits and remove restrictions, you must go through the verification procedure for your account.

  Uploading documents:
Upload a clear photo of one of the following documents: foreign passport / driver’s license / ID card. To upload it, use the MuchBetter application. In the “Limits” section, select “Raise my limits,” then select the type of document you want to use for the verification as well as your country of residence. The photo can be taken directly in the application.

  Online selfie:
The online selfie procedure also takes place in the MuchBetter app, in the same section where you uploaded the photo of the document.
More details about this procedure can be found here in the article about verification.
In case of technical problems, please contact our support team.

How can I verify my MuchBetter account and what documents are necessary for this?

To confirm the data specified during registration and to increase transaction limits, you need to upload clear scans (images/photos) of the following documents:

  • Your international passport or driving license.
  • Your utility bill or bank account statement for the last 3 months, stamped and signed by a bank employee (and made available in PDF format).

Photos of these documents must be sent to [email protected] with your phone number in the subject line.

Pay attention to the following requirements for these documents:

  • The address on the utility bill must match the one that was specified when registering the MuchBetter account; the document has a seal and authorized signature; and that the document was issued no more than 90 days ago.
  • Bank statement which was issued and dated no more than 90 days ago. The statement must contain the full name, address indicated during registration, the seal of the bank and the signature of the bank’s authorized employee.
Why was my address not verified on MuchBetter?

Most likely, the submitted documents did not meet the following requirements:

  • The documents must have been issued within the last 90 days.
  • The scanned copies must be in fully spread – all 4 corners visible – positioning.
  • Data in the document should be easy to read (full name, address, date of issue of the document, name of the organization, its logo, and seal).
  • Copies must be made from the original – screenshots are unacceptable.
  • Acceptable file formats: *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.gif, *.png, or *.pdf.
Why were my documents for account verification rejected on MuchBetter? And what should I do next?

Scans or photos of documents sent in the app or by email should be clear and easy to read, otherwise they will not be accepted.
The following are the main reasons for rejection of verificatory documents:

  • The documents were issued more than 90 days ago (applies to documents for address confirmation).
  • The personal data in the document did not correspond with the data in the account.
  • Documents were sent in unsupported file formats – the acceptable file extensions or formats are JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, and PDF (for documents to be sent by email).
  • Copies sent were not made from their originals.
  • Documents were sent in inappropriate physical forms: worn or damaged; and/or with some information blurred or erased.
  • All corners of the document were not visible. You must send copies of the fully spread documents.
How can I replenish a MuchBetter account? And what is the commission for a deposit?

A 0.99% Commission will be charged on ATM withdrawals using MuchBetter Mastercard.

I cannot top-up my MuchBetter account using my bank card. Why?

Please make sure that you entered the correct card number, CVV, and expiration date, and try again.

Besides, the transaction may not take place because some banks do not allow you to use their cards for deposits in order to use funds for online games.

For example, in Russia at the moment, there are problems with deposits from some banks (including Sberbank, Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff, and Russian Standard) due to the Federal law No. 244.

So we recommend using cards from other banks like UniCredit, Citibank, or smaller banks.

What Cryptocurrencies can I use?

MuchBetter currently supports Bitcoin BTC, Ethereum ETH, Litecoin LTC, and Ripple XRP.

To replenish your account, go to the mobile application and click on the “+” button. Specify the amount you want to fund your account with and select “Cryptocurrencies.” Next, select the required currency (the application will automatically calculate the amount) and provide an address for sending the payment. Please note that the transaction must be completed within 10 minutes due to the possibility of sudden changes in exchange rates.

* When making a deposit to the system with any Cryptocurrency, a commission of 2% is charged.

MuchBetter also supports withdrawing funds to your crypto wallet in 3 currencies:

How do I find the CVV number of my MuchBetter card?

MuchBetter takes Care of your safety when making online purchases with a MuchBetter card by using a dynamic CVV code. This way, the card is more secure because:

You can find your CVV code in the MuchBetter app by selecting “Devices,” then “Map”, and the dynamic CVV will be displayed in the upper-right corner.

What limits are set for the MuchBetter card?

The following limits are set by default:

Where can I use my Mastercard from MuchBetter?

If you are located in the EU (with the exception of Norway), you can use the MuchBetter card for any transactions other than deposits on gambling sites.

For gambling deposits, use the MuchBetter wallet. Select MuchBetter in your Deposit funds, enter your phone number, and confirm the transaction in your phone.

If you are located in Norway, you can use the MuchBetter card wherever Mastercard is accepted, including on gambling sites, by selecting Mastercard in the site’s deposit methods.

The transaction was declined, but the money was withdrawn from my account. Why?

When making a transaction on a card, the card Issuer is first pre-authorized, in which case the transaction amount is temporarily withheld before settlement. If something goes wrong during the processing of this transaction, the merchant cannot make a settlement and cancel the transaction.

The transaction is canceled after receiving a notification from the seller, which usually occurs within a few hours to 7 calendar days.

As soon as MuchBetter receives a notification, the funds are returned to your account.

If this doesn’t happen, contact support via the form in the MuchBetter app.

ATM shows zero balance on my card. Why?

The MuchBetter account balance is not stored on the card but in a wallet that the ATM cannot access. You can always check your balance in the mobile app.

Contactless card payment does not work. Why?

You need to pay with your card using a chip and passcode once before using it contactlessly. This helps to prevent abuse of your card (for example, if it is stolen during delivery).

Card or NFC device lost / stolen. What should I do?

If you’ve lost your MuchBetter card, watch or key fob, don’t worry. In the application, click on the contactless symbol icon and select Freeze for the card; or click on the “Devices” tab and select “Freeze” on the device you want to block.

If you need to order a new card, write to [email protected]

A new keychain and watch can be ordered in the app.

Invalid operation notification while using my card. What should I do?

MuchBetter may attempt to refund money spent on a product or service that was not delivered. But before contacting support, please try to solve the problem with the seller directly, this is often faster and easier.
If you would like MuchBetter to initiate a chargeback procedure, please provide all the necessary information about the transaction; which are:

  • The date of the transaction.
  • Transaction amount.
  • Seller details.
  • The mode of the transaction – made offline / online.
