Complaint #83 888STARZ Casino

Account access blocked after big win

By Frede92

8 months ago

I created an account on 888STARZ on January 27, 2026, successfully validated my email, deposited 30 CAD via Interac/Gigadat, played legitimately and won 13,000 CAD.

Issue: I am unable to log in (error message "email or password incorrect" even after multiple successful password resets with codes received by email and confirmation on the site). Live chat support agent Zélie stated that the site is not available in Canada. However, Canada is NOT listed among the restricted countries in the Terms & Conditions (section 2: only UK, USA, Cyprus, Netherlands, etc., followed by a vague "etc.").

I have fully cooperated: on January 28, 2026, I sent a complete KYC request to disable the "Email authorization forbidden" setting to support-fr@888starz.bet, including:

- Selfie holding my ID (recto-verso driver's license)

- Bank screenshot proving the 30 CAD deposit via Gigadat/Interac (confirmation number 0271190243, dated January 27, 2026)

- Full screenshots of the live chat conversation with Zélie

- Screenshot of the T&C showing Canada is not restricted

No response from support after 3+ days. I need:

- Account access restored

- Phone number validation if required

- Full withdrawal of my 13,000 CAD winnings (preferred methods: crypto or Interac)

This blockage appears unfair because I was allowed to register, deposit, play, and win without any prior warning or restriction notice. Please assist in resolving this matter and processing my withdrawal.

All mentioned proofs are attached (live chat screenshots, sent KYC email proof, deposit proof, T&C screenshot, registration confirmation email).

Hello Ask's team,
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your invaluable support throughout this complaint. Thanks to your intervention and your well thought-out system, I was finally able to withdraw my entire balance (about 13,000 CAD) from 888Starz. Without you, I doubt I would have gotten a quick response, and this process opened my eyes to the importance of a platform like yours to protect players.
However, I ask you not to mark this complaint as "resolved" at this time. The casino's response times - several weeks for a first message that didn't help - made the experience extremely stressful and discouraging. One wonders if this is not a way to push players to give up, especially for large sums of money. I believe that sharing these facts could alert other players and contribute to a more accurate assessment of the casino on your site, for the good of the community.
Thank you again for your essential role. You really make a difference.
Sincerely,
Frederique (Frede92)

Hello AskGamblers,

Follow-up: phone number entered in profile today after successful login with corrected ID and Google Authenticator 2FA.

Still no SMS code received for phone validation (multiple attempts, renvois, phone restarted, cache cleared, network changed).

Email sent to support-fr@888starz.bet this morning asking to check/dissociate if linked elsewhere or validate manually (screenshot attached earlier).

Please follow up for IT progress.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Frédérique (Frede92)

Withdrawal Blocked and Forced Restricted Payment Method

To AskGamblers Dispute Team and 888Starz Management,
I am filing this formal complaint against 888Starz regarding my account (Account ID: [ 1416950275 ]). I am a fully verified user, and I have successfully deposited and wagered using USDT on the platform.
Currently, 888Starz is deliberately blocking my withdrawals and refusing to pay out my funds through dishonest tactics:
1 - Forced Restricted Payment Method & False Claims: They force me to withdraw via Skrill based on a past one-time deposit, claiming that my Skrill account rejects the transactions with the error "Declined by operator". However, I have checked my Skrill account thoroughly, and it is fully verified with NO limits applied (Unlimited status). My account can receive funds without any restrictions. This proves 888Starz is falsely blaming Skrill as an excuse to hold my money.
2 - Blocking USDT Withdrawals: Since I actively deposited and played using USDT, I am legally entitled to withdraw via USDT. Yet, they deliberately reject and block my USDT withdrawal requests.
3 - Ignored Support: Whenever I reach out, live chat agents redirect me to [email protected], but my emails have been completely ignored for days, leaving me trapped in automated loops.
I have attached proof (Skrill verification and unlimited status screenshots) showing that my Skrill account is 100% operational. I demand an immediate manual intervention from 888Starz management to lift these unfair restrictions and permanently authorize my withdrawals via USDT.
Thank you.

Money withheld shocking lack of solution

Dear gambling community,

888STARZ casino has been withholding my money with no further explanation since 10.10.2026.

I am attaching screenshots of the withdrawal.

The most shocking part is that you cannot contact their financial department (which they claim is investigating this issue).

For 9 days now i didnt receive single information, explanation, nothing. Support rudely keeps rejecting my calls about the money I deposited. Is this really how this business should work?

Please kindly help me with recovering my money

Delayed withdrawal 100000 TZS

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I am filing a complaint against 888STARZ Casino.

Gaming ID: 730972323
Withdrawal Request ID: 5335269783
Amount: 100,000 TZS
Method: Airtel Tanzania - +255687171206
Date: 26.09.2025
Status: "Awaiting confirmation from payment system" for 6 days.

I contacted their payment support at processing888.bet. I only receive automated bot replies from operator "Emma" repeating the same message: "waiting for response from payment system, high volume of requests". She closed the chat without providing any UTR, transaction hash, or proof of transfer.

I contacted Airtel Tanzania and they confirmed no funds have been received and no pending transaction exists.

I have screenshots of the bot loop and the withdrawal request.

I request either:

1. Provide a valid UTR / proof that funds were sent, OR

2. Cancel the withdrawal and refund 100,000 TZS back to my gaming balance so I can try another method.

Thank you for your help.

Withdrawal is marked completed but not credited

USER ID: 1669293569

Withdrawal Date: 25/5/26

Withdrawal Amount: 17000

E- Transfer no: 4874953923

It's now 16 days completed. I haven't received a withdrawal in my account. Withdrawal is successfully completed on the app, but I haven't received it.

This delay is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the reliability of your platform. I request an immediate investigation into this issue and a clear timeline for when the funds will be released.

Please treat this matter with urgency. If I do not receive a response or resolution within 24 hours, I will be forced to escalate the issue by filing complaints on public review sites, forums, and, if necessary, seek legal action through the appropriate financial regulatory bodies.

Cassino 888starz withdrawal issue

I would like to file a complaint against 888Starz regarding my withdrawal issue.

I have been trying to withdraw my money to my Skrill account, but every withdrawal request gets approved at first and then later cancelled without a clear explanation. I have used this withdrawal method before and never had this problem until now.

I already contacted customer support multiple times, but unfortunately I am either being ignored or receiving generic responses without any real help. I also submitted all requested verification documents, including my ID/passport, proof of payment, and card verification.

At this point, I am very concerned because my funds are still stuck on the casino account and I cannot access them.

I kindly ask AskGamblers to help me resolve this issue and assist in communication with the casino.

Casino: 888Starz
Withdrawal method: Skrill
Problem: Withdrawal approved and then cancelled repeatedly
Support response: Very slow or no response

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Withdrawal problems and Missing funds

I am submitting this complaint due to serious issues with withdrawals and missing funds on my 888Starz account.
As soon as I requested a withdrawal, my account was placed under repeated and prolonged “security checks”. I was asked multiple times to provide identity documents, selfies with dates, and written explanations. I complied with all requests fully and promptly.
Despite this, the verification process keeps being extended without clear reasons, deadlines, or transparent communication. Support responses are generic, delayed, and constantly redirect me between departments, restarting the process instead of resolving it.
In addition to the withdrawal issue, part of my balance disappeared from my account without any valid explanation. The account balance was reduced even though I did not place any bets, bonuses, or withdrawals that would justify the missing funds. I repeatedly asked for a clear transaction history or explanation, but none was provided.
Furthermore, withdrawal confirmation via SMS is unreliable, which makes completing withdrawals even more difficult.
Deposits were accepted instantly, but once I requested to withdraw my money, multiple obstacles appeared. This behavior strongly suggests unjustified withdrawal delays and lack of transparency.
I am requesting:
A full and transparent explanation of the missing funds
Immediate completion of account verification
Processing of my pending withdrawal without further delays
I believe my rights as a player have been violated, and I am asking AskGamblers to assist in resolving this matter fairly.
