Pending withdrawal for over 2 months


2 years ago
I’ve had a £1000 pending withdrawal since 15th November. They have asked for source of wealth information and are not paying out based on that.
My £1000 deposit was made on 15th November at 14:57. The £1000 withdrawal was made at 16:42 on the same day after I realised they had limited my account without informing me, and I couldn’t place any reasonably sized bets.
This means the £1000 balance is unplayed and I am simply requesting the funds to be sent back to me. I believe it is against UKGC guidelines to withhold an unplayed deposit.

Furthermore, I have tried to contact 888casino on countless occasions about this pending withdrawal, stating that even if they want source of wealth information, I am currently not in work so cannot provide a payslip or other similar documents. They say they will get back to me to advise which documents to provide but they never do. The customer service is appalling, they’ve ignored me for over 2 months.
Even if I have to provide the source of wealth documents for my money back, they are not advising how to proceed in this situation. I can’t believe a company like 888 can behave so poorly.

I can confirm that the withdrawal has been received. Many thanks to Askgamblers for their assistance, I dread to think how long it would have gone on for otherwise.

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,
Status unsolved Unresolved
