Hello Askgamblers team,

my name is Patrick < surname removed > I registered in 888casino October 8, 2020. Since then I was making deposits in large amounts of money 3800 Pounds .

I have been playing mostly slots and managed to win something.

Then I fully verified my account and as you can see on the screenshot - 888casino approved it.

After that I made withdrawals of 2100 Pounds December 2nd to my bank account.

After I made withdrawals I played a little more on slots and again won some money.

Currently the amount on my Casino account is 16300 English Pounds. I have tried to make a withdrawal and suddenly 888casino decided to lock my account. When I made an inquiry about a reason they didn’t provide me with any.

Please, Askgamblers team, I kindly ask you to help me resolve this issue.

Hello,

Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns.

Please us allow to apologize for any inconvenience created.

Kindly note that in order for your account to be reopened and the bankroll to be reinstated, your account will need to be verified as the documents you previously sent, unfortunately, failed our Operations Department routine checks. Our colleagues from the Support Department sent you an e-mail in this regard on 27/01/2022 with more information.

Once your account will be successfully verified, this can be reopened and you can request for the funds to be re-added on your account.

We remain available if you have any further queries.

Sincerely,

Delayed payment for almost 2 months on a fully verified account

I am filing this complaint regarding the extremely unreasonable and unacceptable handling of my 7,000 CAD withdrawal by 888casino Ontario.

My account had already been fully verified before this withdrawal request was ever made. Despite that, for nearly two months I have been trapped in an endless cycle of repeated document requests, delays, and meaningless template responses while my funds continue to be withheld.

During this entire process:

I contacted support more than 30 times through email and live chat

I repeatedly submitted every document and every piece of information requested

I complied multiple times with additional CCS2800 verification requests

I received almost nothing except scripted copy-paste apologies for the delay

My direct questions were consistently ignored

No one explained why the withdrawal was being delayed

No realistic timeframe was ever provided

Support continuously avoided addressing the actual issues raised and instead recycled generic responses

The most frustrating part is that the same documents and information have effectively been requested again and again despite my account already being verified and despite my full cooperation throughout the entire process.

After nearly two months, there is still no resolution, no accountability, and no meaningful communication from 888casino.

At this stage, this no longer resembles a normal verification process. It appears to be an unnecessarily prolonged and obstructive delay process where a verified customer is repeatedly forced to resubmit information while being given no transparency whatsoever.

Most recently, after once again submitting all the requested documents, I heard absolutely nothing back for over a week.

It should not require more than 30 contacts, repeated document submissions, and nearly two months of chasing support simply to receive a withdrawal from an already verified account.

I am requesting immediate release and processing of my 7,000 CAD withdrawal, written confirmation that all verification requirements have finally been satisfied, a proper explanation for the repeated delays and repetitive document requests, and an end to the continuous scripted responses and unnecessary obstruction of this withdrawal

I have preserved all emails, screenshots, live chat transcripts, and proof of every document submission made throughout this process and am fully prepared to continue escalating this matter through all available regulatory, mediation, and consumer protection channels if this situation is not resolved immediately.

Delayed withdrawal funds withheld for over 2 months
I am filing this complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal of $8205 from my 888casino account, which has been pending for more than two months without any explanation or resolution.
Timeline of events:

I submitted a withdrawal request to my Neteller account approximately 2–3 months ago.
I completed all KYC/identity verification procedures in full, providing every document requested by the casino.
My verification status was confirmed as approved.
Despite full compliance with all requirements, my withdrawal has not been processed.
I contacted 888casino customer support multiple times via email and live chat. My messages were either ignored or received only generic automated responses with no meaningful follow-up.
On 30.04.2026, I sent a formal written complaint demanding payment within 48 hours, citing intent to escalate to the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner and the UK Gambling Commission. No response was received within 7 days.

Current status:
The withdrawal remains pending. I have received no explanation, no estimated payment date, and no meaningful communication from 888casino.
What I am requesting:
Immediate release of my funds ($8205) to my Neteller account, which was the original and explicitly stated withdrawal method.
I have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter directly with the casino before escalating to AskGamblers. The casino's prolonged silence and inaction leave me no alternative.
I am happy to provide any additional documentation upon request.

Withdrawal request still awaiting process after 18 days
Hi my support ID is 840559228. On April 25th 2026 I won 59,000 Canadian dollars on slots at 888 Casino. I requested a withdrawal, ID 941862948229 of 30,000 which was the maximum monthly withdrawal. I initially requested in to be E-Transferred but was unable to do that so I reversed the withdrawal and then redid it requesting a wire transfer . I uploaded my British Columbia , Canada drivers license and the required wire transfer information for my bank account. I was asked for a bank statement which I uploaded. The statement was for the same account I used to e-transfer the funds I used to gamble on the 888 Casino site and the name and address of the account match my drivers license. This is also the account I have requested the funds be wired to. I talked to a live agent after several days to enquire why my withdrawal was still awaiting process. He asked me to again upload my bank statement and ID which I did. On 888 casino the documents I uploaded are showing as awaiting verification since May 1st 2026 and I have not received any emails from 888 Casino giving me any updates on the withdrawal request or on the verification of my documents and ID. I have talked to 4 live agents on the support chat and have been told I dint need to upload any more documents and that they have escalated the matter to the payments department and that they will process the withdrawal as soon as possible. The fact that the documents are still not verified makes me believe that no progress has been made in my withdrawal request. If any other documents are required I will provide them immediately . I have turned off my ability to reverse the withdrawal in my 888 Casino account. This delay is way beyond the stated timeframes on the 888 Casino site.

I am filing this complaint against 888ro regarding an unjustified account closure and the confiscation of my winnings following a Live Casino session
Detailed Chronology:

Verified History: I have been a customer of 888.ro for some time and have successfully completed withdrawals in the past. My account was previously verified and considered compliant.

Recent Activity: A few days ago, I deposited and played sports betting. After finishing, I withdrew my entire balance without any issues.

New Session: After a couple of days, I decided to deposit again. This time, I played exclusively Live Baccarat in the Live Casino section. I managed to win, bringing my balance to [4300 ] RON.

The Obstacle: When I tried to withdraw my new winnings, the casino requested a screen recording of my banking app. However, my bank account has been officially closed by the bank in the meantime.

Official Evidence: Since it is technically impossible to record an app for a closed account, I provided 888.ro with official, stamped documents from the bank confirming the closure and my ownership.

Unfair Closure: Instead of accepting these official legal documents, 888.ro permanently closed my account, citing a generic breach of Terms and Conditions, and seized my funds.

My Position:
It is highly abusive for a casino to accept my deposits and allow me to play, only to demand an impossible verification method (video of a closed app) once I win at Live Baccarat. I have provided superior legal proof (bank papers), but they are being ignored to avoid paying out my winnings.

I am asking AskGamblers to mediate this case so I can receive my legitimate funds.
