888starz Casino - Delaying the verification process

I registered at this casino on 10/4/2023.

From 10/11/2023 I started checking the client’s identity!

The casino first required me to provide a copy of my internal national passport - I provided it!

Then they asked for an extract from the Skrill payment system - I provided it.

Next, the casino demanded to provide a photograph in which I was holding my passport in my hands next to my face against the backdrop of correspondence with the Security Service - I provided it.

Then the verification began to drag out - the support service began checking each document I sent for 2-3 days, and after that, they again began to demand new documents from me - photographs of paid receipts for utility services for one of the last 3 months at the place of registration - I provided,

I also provided a copy of my bank statement with my details!

After another 3 days, they asked me for a copy of my driver’s license - I provided it!

And after all this - they are silent again, obviously waiting for 3 days - since according to their rules, the process of checking documents takes up to three days!

I am attaching the entire copy of the email correspondence!

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.

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.
