Payment witheld

I won a bet which I tried to withdraw July 21st.


I was then contacted asking to verify my account. I have submitted my driving license, passport and bank statement, in the formats requested as asked by 888. The documents should 100% satisfy the verification needs, they have been accepted by other bookmakers with no issue.


I am being passed pillar to post, I have been asked to submit, and resubmit the documents dozens of times. Sometimes I have been told I need to submit the documents again as they haven't received them which is categorically untrue. Their chat is generic and of no use whatsoever. I keep getting told this has been escalated and will be resolved soon. This is over two weeks ago. 888 have HAPPILY taken bets before, and after this one bet, and have also paid out both before and after this bet.


At this point they are just deliberately withholding my funds and being uncooperative. It is for £185, not a life changing sum of money, but money I could do with.

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,
