After several failed sign-in attempts the sign-in form keeps returning the player to the same screen and never shows a lock notice, which usually means the account has already been locked without an on-screen warning. The most common cause is a string of wrong passwords, followed closely by a session that never closed properly on the phone browser.
Sign-In Refusals and Accounts Locked After Failed Attempts
The player types the password, the page reloads, and the same sign-in form appears again; on later attempts a message says the account is locked.
- The password is typed with a different keyboard layout or with autocorrect changing characters.
- The account was locked automatically after repeated wrong entries.
- The session on another device is still open and blocks the new one.
- The email address was entered with a typo or an alias the player forgot.
- Browsing data left an old password saved in the field.
- Type the password into a plain text note first. Copy and paste it into the field so you see exactly what you send.
- Turn off autocorrect and check the keyboard language. A single switched character is enough to fail.
- Clear the saved password for the site in the phone browser settings. Then load the sign-in page fresh.
- Close every other tab and window where the account is open. Try signing in again from one place only.
- If you use a password manager, open the saved entry and compare it with what you paste. Update the entry if it is out of date.
- Wait before trying again. Each new wrong entry extends the lock, so repeated guessing keeps the account closed.
- Use the password reset option on the sign-in page. The new password goes to the email address on the account.
- Sign in with the new password and change it once more inside the account area. This confirms the reset worked.
- Write the new password down somewhere offline. It prevents the same loop after the next failed attempt.
Contact support when the reset email never arrives or the account stays locked after a successful reset.
Games and Pages That Will Not Load on a Phone
The page loads halfway, spins on a game tile, or the lobby appears without images and buttons that do nothing.
- The mobile connection dropped or switched between Wi-Fi and mobile data mid-load.
- The browser kept an old cached copy of the page.
- Blocking scripts or an ad blocker stop the game files from loading.
- Too many tabs are open and the phone has run low on memory.
- The phone browser is an old version that cannot run the game scripts.
- Close the tab completely and reopen it. A half-loaded page rarely recovers on its own.
- Switch off Wi-Fi and load the lobby over mobile data, or the other way round. This shows which connection is at fault.
- Clear the browser cache and cookies for the site. Then load the lobby again from the address you normally use.
- Turn off the ad blocker for this site only. Reload and open one game.
- Close all other tabs and any background apps that hold memory. Then open the game once more.
- Restart the phone. This clears the memory the browser was using.
- Open the lobby in a second browser on the same phone. If it works there, the first browser is the problem.
- Try a private or incognito window. Extensions are off there, so a game that loads proves an add-on was blocking it.
- Update the browser from your phone’s store, then repeat the step for one game.
- Open one game at a time and wait for it to finish loading before you tap the next tile.
Contact support when one specific game fails in every browser while the rest of the lobby loads.
Identity Checks That Stall or Documents That Get Rejected
The verification page shows a pending status for a long time, or a submitted document comes back marked as not accepted.
- A photo is blurred, cropped, or shows glare from a light or flash.
- The document has expired or the visible corners are cut off.
- The name on the document does not match the name on the account exactly.
- A selfie is taken with a filter, a hat or in poor light.
- Only one side of a two-sided document was uploaded.
- Open mystakeuk.org and go to the verification area of your account. Check which item is still pending before you upload anything new.
- Photograph the document on a flat, dark surface in daylight. Keep all four corners inside the frame.
- Check that no light reflects off the surface of the document. Glare is the most common reason for rejection.
- Upload both sides when the document has information on the back. A single side is enough for a one-page document.
- Compare the name on the document with the name in the account profile. They must match letter for letter.
- Type the account details as they appear on the document. Do not use a nickname or a shortened first name.
- Take the selfie without a filter, glasses or a hat. Hold the phone steady and face a window.
- Upload the files in the format the form offers. Convert a photo only if the form refuses it.
- Submit one item at a time and wait for the status to change before you send the next one.
- Keep the original document to hand in case the team asks for one more photo of the same page.
Contact support when a document is rejected twice without a clear reason or the pending status never changes.
Deposits and Withdrawals Blocked by Limits
The player sees a payment declined or a message that the amount is above the permitted limit for the account.
- The amount is above the limit that applies to the account or the payment option.
- The account has not completed verification, so withdrawal limits stay low.
- Several attempts in a short period hit a cap on the number of requests.
- A bonus balance is active and restricts how much can leave the account.
- The payment option itself has its own ceiling set by the provider.
- Read the decline message in full. It usually names the limit that was hit and whether the problem is the amount or the request.
- Compare the amount you entered with the limit that applies to your account. Lower the amount and try again.
- Finish any open verification item. Accounts with pending checks keep the lower withdrawal limit.
- Check the email address and phone number on the account. Missing details can hold a payment.
- Wait before sending another request. Repeating the same request immediately meets the same cap.
- Split a large amount into smaller requests only when the limit applies per request rather than per day.
- If a bonus is active, play through it first so the balance becomes withdrawable.
- Use a payment option on your own name that the account already accepted before. A new option can be capped lower.
- Write down the exact message and the amount you tried. The details make the support request faster.
Contact support when the amount is clearly below your limit and the payment is still declined.
Quick Reference
The table below matches the four problems to their usual cause and the first thing to check.
| Problem | Usual cause | First check |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in refused or account locked | Repeated wrong passwords | Retype the password with autocorrect off |
| Games will not load on the phone | Stale browser cache or a blocker | Load the lobby in a private window |
| Verification stuck or rejected | Blurred or incomplete document photo | Which item is still pending |
| Deposit or withdrawal declined | Amount above the account limit | The message that names the limit |
| Withdrawal held after a bonus | Bonuses not yet played through | The balance still tied to the bonus |
The sign-in row is the one most players fix first, because a locked account hides every other problem. The loading row matters on phones, where a private window quickly separates a browser fault from a site fault. The verification row is about image quality, not about the account itself; a sharper photo usually moves the check forward. The limits row shows that most declines come from the amount, not from a broken payment. The final row covers the case where a payment is not refused but held, which players often confuse with a limit. Work through the rows in order and note which check changes the symptom.
The single habit that prevents most of these problems is keeping the account details, the password and the document name identical everywhere the player signs in or uploads a file, then changing nothing between a failed attempt and the next one.
