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 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.

Account access blocked after big win

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 [email protected], 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).
