I cannot withdraw funds

I have lived for a while in Qatar due to the war in my foreign country (Ukraine). I have created an account on 888 sport/casino and won some funds. After a period they have temporary closed my account and requested for documents, I have sent them and they have reopened my account.

But unfortunately I cannot make any withdrawals because my two credit cards aren't accepted at 888. A chat representative told me to send an email with my banking details to [email protected], and I have done that with my banking details included. I received an email that they can only withdraw to bank accounts registered in Qatar. However it wasn't possible for me to sign up for a bank account in Qatar, because I only was there for a short term. I have explained the situation in an email, and requested to change my country to Ireland, where I'm currently living and working. Unfortunately I still haven't received a response from the operations team. I only received an email that my new address documents has been passed, but the address/country change hasn't been done yet and I don't receive any substantive responses on my sent emails to the transaction team and the operations team.

Can you please withdraw my funds to my Irish bank account and change my address to my new address. I'm not able to make any deposits or withdrawal under the current circumstances. I'm looking forward to play on this casino, and hopefully they can change my address.

Does not pay my withdrawal for over a month
Dear 888 Casino Customer Support Team,

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the ongoing delay in processing my £4,000 withdrawal, which has now been outstanding for over a month.

Throughout this period, I have contacted your live chat support every day, often multiple times a day, in an attempt to resolve this issue. However, every interaction has resulted in the same response: apologies and confirmation that my case has been escalated to the relevant team. Despite these repeated assurances, I have received no meaningful update, no concrete explanation for the delay, and, most importantly, no resolution.

What concerns me most is the complete uncertainty surrounding the waiting time. Nobody seems able to provide a clear timeframe or confirm when I can realistically expect to receive my money. Being left waiting for more than a month, with no definite answer despite my persistent efforts to obtain one, is completely unacceptable and has seriously undermined my confidence in your service.

I understand that certain checks and procedures may be necessary, but this does not justify leaving a customer waiting indefinitely without transparent communication or a clear explanation of what is causing the delay.

I now expect 888 Casino to treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and provide me a realistic and specific timeframe for when the funds will be released and paid into my account.

Repeated apologies and further escalations without any tangible progress are no longer sufficient. I have been patient and cooperative throughout this process, but I cannot continue to accept vague responses and indefinite waiting times.

Please treat this message as a formal complaint and provide a meaningful written response as soon as possible. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will consider pursuing the available formal complaint and external dispute resolution procedures.

I look forward to receiving a clear explanation and a concrete resolution, rather than another generic apology.

Kind regards,
