Hi,

I am writing to you because 888starz is preventing me from withdrawing the balance of my account (1 280.92 €) by asking me several times for the same documents as part of the verification of my account.

Indeed, since 31/12/2024, I have already provided:

- 4 different proofs of identity
- 1 selfie with my ID and their email in the background
- 1 proof of address

I am therefore forced to contact you to resolve this problem please.

Thanking you in advance,

Best regards

Dear all,

We regret to inform you that, despite all the AskGamblers Complaint Team requests, 888STARZ Casino management failed to provide reasonable justification and/or solid proof which could explain their decision to confiscate the player's winnings.

Unfortunately, in this situation, the AskGamblers Complaint Team has no other choice but to close the case as unresolved and advise the player to seek further assistance from the relevant regulatory body or appointed ADR entity. As a direct consequence of such closure, the operator's ranking score on AskGamblers will be decreased accordingly.

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.
