Account locked and no responses after weeks of waiting


On the 14th of July 2018 i registered at 777.com.
After a longer pause of gambling i felt like i want to have some online-gambling-fun again.
The website looked nice - so i registered. I got a regular welcome email and then i cashed in EUR 1000.-

I played for a while and was lucky. My funds went up to above EUR 8000.-

When i changed from one game to another all of the sudden my account was locked.
The information i got was that 777.com belongs to the 888 group ans that previously i had self excluded me a longer time ago from an 888 account.

I have never had any problems with 888, it was just a longer tim ago that i decided to take a break.
On registering with 777 i could not see its part of 888 group, and i was regularly welcomed via email. They let me cash in and play.

At the time they stopped it i had funds of EUR 7.900.-

When i wrote to 777.com on the 14th they appologized and said it will be taken care of.
I gave them - as usual - all my contact details, telling them i am available anytime.
After some days the finally wrote me back i should contact someone else. Manage­r@8­88c­asi­no.com is responsible for my case.

So after very few reactions for the first 8 days from cassava/777 on the 22nd of July i contacted them with my inquiry for a solution. I explained the case and suggest to please open up my account again so i can gamble with my 7900 EUR, or if this is not what they want me to, wire the funds to the account i cashed in from.

I again gave adress, email, phone - telling them i am available anytime.

I heard nothing back. No mail. No answer somebody will care for anyday. Nothing.

So 5 days later on the 27th of July i told them that i am still waiting for a response. And i really hoped to get an answer this time.

Another 4 days down the road without any word, i wrote a last email. I was telling 888 that i am still hoping for an answer, which i am allowed to expect from a stock listed, thought-to-be serious company caring for their customers after a sudden account lock without a word and 16 days trying to talk to someone.

I also sent some screenshots i luckily made of my funds in the account (at EUR 6000 and 8100).

My next steps are now trying to find regulation via Askgamblers.
If they wont react to this i will be doing a double strategy.

A) i will turn in my screenshots; email; data saved to my lawyer and the gambling comissiob

B) i will buy shares of 888 group, turn to investor relations and raise the point on the annual meeting of the company to the board because i am stunnned on how a big - exchange listed company - is treating clients.

Not responding at all is, in my opinion, a shame and an absolute no-go.

I hope it is all just a big misunderstanding and we can sort this out via the help of Askgamblers.

Hello!

I have to - unfortunatley - admit that the failure here was on my side.
I mixed things up.
So now i realised 777/888 did nothing wrong.

So yes, you can close this case (positive).

Thank you

Account and withdrawal issues

Hi, I am writing this complaint as I’m having continues problems with 777.com, I signed up on Tuesday 09/02/21 and everything was fine. My bonus worked fine and my account was all set up. That night I deposited £180 into that account and it accepted the deposit with no issues. I was playing for about 2 hours again with no issues and then wanted to with withdraw my funds of £297. Unfortunately as soon as I clicked withdraw funds it logged me out of my account and said my account was temporarily disabled. I then contacted customer support straight away as I was worried I would lose my money.

The man wasn’t very helpful on the phone, he just told me I had to email the operations team as they don’t have a contact number and they will get back to me within 72 hours. 48 hours after that I received an email from the operations team stating my account was suspended With more information or no reply to my original email. It has now been 6 days and I haven’t received any email or phone call or anything back. I was really worried about the situation and my funds I continually called customer support to chase up and they said I should not worry as I am 100% entitled to my money and the situation will be resolved. I’m not sure what else I can do other than submit this complaint as I have contact customer support numerous times and they have just said they will chase it for me then I hear nothing back. Hopefully this complaint helps me to receive either my funds I deposited into the account or the funds I am entitled to in the account.

I have screenshots of all emails sent and received but I’m not sure how to add this to the complaint file?

Thank you

Funds Not Returned After Account Closure

On 5/12/20 I formally requested by email that 777 close my account with them. At the time I had an active cash balance of £1120 on the account.

On 8/12/20 I received a reply confirming that the account was now closed (attachment A). At this time they also requested I confirm some personal details to finalize the procedure (also on attachment A).

On 9/12/20 I replied to confirm the personal details as instructed. I also requested confirmation that the cash balance had been returned to my debit card / bank account (attachment B).

After this email I received no further correspondence whatsoever from 777 and the money never appeared in my bank. Over the next month I sent a total of a further 6 emails to pursue the matter (attachments C, D, E, F, G & H). I didn’t receive a single reply to any of them, I was completely ignored. The date of these emails ranged from 14/12/20 to 13/1/21 as you can see.

On 13/1/21 I tried to log into the account to see if I could speak to someone directly on their live chat facility. I was surprised that I was able to log in even though the account was supposed to be closed. Unfortunately their live chat wasn’t online, however it did give me an opportunity to take a screenshot to prove that the cash balance of £1120 was still active on the account and hadn’t been refunded to my bank as requested (attachment I).

On 15/1/21 I finally managed to speak to someone on live chat. They confirmed again that the account had indeed been closed, but that the funds were still in the bankroll as I hadn’t submitted a withdrawal request (even though I’d obviously requested this many times as you can see). I again asked them to send the money to my bank account, at which point they told me to log in to their web cashier through a direct external link provided that would enable me to make a withdrawal from a closed account. I have provided screenshots of the conversation (attachments K & L).

You can imagine my frustration at this point. If someone had actually bothered to reply to any of my emails and informed me I could make a withdrawal this way then I would have done so from the outset and avoided all of this unnecessary hassle and stress. However, I thought at least the matter would be finally sorted now so I left it at that and made the withdrawal as instructed (see attachment J). Please note the value of the withdrawal was now slightly higher as I had been credited some extra cash for the comp points I had accumulated through prior gameplay. The balance was now £1132 instead of £1120 as you can see.

However this unfortunately was not the end of the saga. The money still never appeared in my bank and I received no further contact from 777 until 3 weeks later on 6/2/21. This was in the form of an email to inform me that the funds had not in fact been sent to my bank as requested, but had actually been transferred back to my gaming account again! (Even though it was supposed to be closed!).

I’ve reached the end of my tether with this now. I’ve exhausted all avenues to try and get this resolved myself so I have no other option than to make this complaint. I can’t even log into my account anymore to speak to live chat again as I just get a message saying the account is disabled (attachment N) because obviously it’s closed. They are effectively refusing to give me my own money back which is quite frankly criminal and disgusting behaviour from what is supposed to be a reputable gaming company. Please help me, I don’t know what else to do and I need my money back, this has been going on for months now!
