Unable to resolve and withdraw about 10k


4 years ago

Hi

Recently I joined 888 Casino and won a jackpot. I wanted to withdraw a portion of the winnings . The only option offered was wire transfer - which would not work with my bank. My bank Manulife Bank uses the Royal Bank of Canada to receive wire transfers. As a result there is no branch number they can provide as it will be different then the bank where the initial transfer is sent to. The bank provided a Swift number for a wire transfer but said they could not provide a branch number (which 888 requires) . The bank also said that a branch number should not be required and that requirement to them was suspicious.

I called 888 Casino for other options as my preference was an e-transfer. Their call center is excellent and each time I called helpful. I was told to make a small deposit via e-transfer, once received by them I could then withdrawal by e-transfer. As my wife does most of our banking I asked her to e-transfer transfer from our account. This is where the issue began.

888 Casino received and accepted the transfer but blocked the account for e-transfers as the deposit had my wife’s first name on it. I called again they explained to me what happened and the issue, I explained it was my wife that transferred from my account and it was escalated to their Op,s department who will only communicate by email.

The Op’s department asked me to send a copy of the receipt showing the confirmed transfer from our bank which I did. However as my wife sent the transfer the confirmation also shows her name.

I asked what else I could send to help prove this is my account - as I had already sent a copy of my I..D. as well by sending a copy of my passport.

They asked for a bank statement with my name on it showing the transfer. I called the bank and they provided a statement from the date we made the transfer to 888 Casino which does show my name..

As a result they have the confirmation my wife received and a copy of the statement from the same date showing the transaction with my name.

I continue to get what appears to be form letter responses from 888 Casino.

I have sent my number asked for a number to call to discuss and try and resolve - this has gone on for weeks now. There is no one there I can speak to, only their call center who can only escalate to the Op’s Group who will only email.and they will not call me directly.

My request is for them to unblock my ability to e-transfer and I will be happy to send a deposit so it arrives and my name and can clear this up. I have sent emails requesting multiple times but a, getting no response aside from the “form” email they keep sending asking for the information I already sent

The other option they offered was credit card - however the two credit cards I have, will not allow transactions with an online gambling site so that is not an option.

I have won over $10,000 and am hoping to find a way to resolve so I am able to withdraw some of the winnings. If there is something you can do to put me in touch with anyone at a level who can help me at 888 I would appreciate it. It is ironic that they were willing to accept my deposit when it came in my wife’s name but to withdraw they will not allow.

Attached are copies that I sent them to confirm the original e-transfer.

Thank you for help.

Disappointed that 888 refused to work with me to resolve the e-transfer.

Thanks again AsKGamblers for all your help.

Hi

After 7 weeks since my issues first began. Multiple phone calls and emails I have finally received a small withdrawal.

While the original issue was never resolved and 888 refused to work with me to re-establish e-transfers. I would like to thank AskGamblers as I believe the posting of my complaint did get faster response times for 888.

Please consisted the issue resolved.

Hoped I will be able to withdraw larger amounts moving forward.

Kind regards

Withdrawal Stuck in Manual Review With No Estimated Timeframe
I am submitting this complaint regarding an outstanding C$9,000 withdrawal from 888casino, requested on October 1, 2026, via Interac e-Transfer.

My withdrawal confirmation ID is 988033366704.

As of October 8, my withdrawal remains in "Awaiting Process" status, with C$0 processed.

What I find particularly concerning is that I have successfully received several smaller withdrawals through the same payment method since requesting the C$9,000. These smaller withdrawals were processed quickly and without issue.

On October 5, I received a request from 888casino's Operations Team for additional verification, specifically a recent bank statement. I promptly submitted an official bank statement containing the requested information.

Since then, I have contacted customer support multiple times seeking an update. I have been informed that my withdrawal is undergoing manual review and has been escalated to the relevant department.

My primary concern is that 888casino cannot provide any estimated timeframe for how long this manual review will take or when I can expect my withdrawal to be processed.

Most recently, on October 7, customer support confirmed that the withdrawal had already been escalated but stated that they had no further updates regarding the outcome.

I fully understand and respect the need for identity verification and security procedures. I have cooperated with the documentation requests and am willing to provide any additional information reasonably required.

However, having C$9,000 pending with no indication of when the review will be completed is extremely frustrating, particularly when customer support cannot provide any meaningful information beyond advising me to wait.

I am requesting AskGamblers' assistance in obtaining a clear explanation of the delay, confirmation of whether any further verification is required, and a reasonable timeframe for completing the review and releasing my C$9,000 withdrawal.

Thank you for your assistance.

Endless documents uploaded since August 5th

Complaint #3366410


On august 5th after withdrawing $350 hours earlier I deposited some back on via E transfer. As this is the only way I ever fund my account.


After a run of good luck, I decided to cash out 10k of my winnings. I found it unusual that I did not receive my money within 30mins to 12 hours like every other time in the past.


After a few days of inquiring I was asked to provide a card that was so old and outdated that it no longer exists, then asked to provide bank statements for and account that is no longer open. I was then blocked from my account because I mentioned I wanted to pay some extra bills with the money.


After having my account restored, I reversed the 10k withdrawal like an idiot and lost almost half of it. Mangaed to turn revers withdrawal off, and request the remaining balance in a few withdrawals. Since then I have spent every day trying to get my money.


I have uploaded countless copies of any and all possible documents that can be useful, in many formats including all PDF's. My last upload being my bank wire instructions zoomed in, and highlighted arrows pointing to each of there listed information requirements. That was 5 or more days ago. Only silence since.


Any time I inquire I get the say copy and paste response check your email, it has been escalated to "whatever team" for Manuel review. You will hear back in 72. Hours. Or contact live chat. When I do that I get the same run around and 72hour timeline. Over and over again, I am embarrassed as I told people how awesome 888 was. I'll never say that again.


I just want my money and to be done with 888. I have never had this kind of issue with any other online casino. Don't play on 888

Blocked Withdrawals and Repeated Account Verification

Hello,


I would like to file a formal complaint regarding my withdrawals and the repeated verification requests on my 888 Casino account.


It has now been about one month since I started trying to withdraw my money. I have made several withdrawal requests, including $1,000, $1,800, $1,200, and eventually a $4,000 withdrawal.


Since the beginning, I have repeatedly been asked to verify my identity. I have provided all the requested documents multiple times, including my three most recent bank statements from National Bank of Canada in Montreal, my Quebec driver’s licence, and proof of address through a Hydro-Québec bill.


I have spoken with many different agents, probably between 15 and 20. Every time, I receive the exact same response: “Please send your three most recent bank statements and your ID.” I explain every time that I have already submitted these documents several times, but nobody seems able to give me a clear answer or permanently resolve the issue.


What is even more confusing is that three days ago, I received an email confirming that my verification had been successfully completed and that everything was in order.


However, the very next day, I received another message asking me to verify my identity again.


How is it possible for you to confirm that my account has been successfully verified and then ask me to complete the exact same verification again the next day?


Today, August 31, 2026, I am still in the same situation and have received no clear solution. This situation is causing me a great deal of stress and has become extremely frustrating.


I have fully cooperated with your team and provided every document requested. I am now asking for a supervisor or manager to personally review my case, because I do not want to keep receiving automated responses or repeating the same process with a different agent every day.


I simply want a clear answer: What is actually blocking my withdrawals, and when will I receive my money?


Please take this complaint seriously and provide me with a clear and concrete response.
