Casino Complaints

Delayed payment and terrible customer service.


Good evening,

I would like to submit a complaint about 888Casino regarding delayed withdrawal and extremely poor customer service.

In April this year I won over £24,000 playing live blackjack and withdrew all of my winnings in amounts varying from £3000-£4000 from 888 Casino. Other than an irritating 3 day "processing period", the withdrawal process was fairly simple. My account was verified therefore no issues arose from withdrawing such a large amount until the 20th April when a portion of my withdrawal was held by the casino (see screenshot attached).

To summarise this, 888 casino have a maximum withdrawal of $30,000USD per month which meant from my last withdrawal of £4,050.00 only £2,413.18 was paid leaving an outstanding amount of £1,636.82. This is reflected in my attached screenshot with reference to transaction ID #248334283412.
The $30,000USD limit is clearly stated in 888 Casino's T&C's and I was absolutely content with this.

My complaint with 888 Casino is due to the following:

It is now the 24th May and I still havnt recieved a penny of the outstanding balance. After a few painful exchanges with the basic customer support team early in May I was told that the funds would be released 30 days after my last withdrawal request (see attached). This information did not come quickly, it was after numerous calls,emails, referals, "escalations to operations team" (who do not deal directly with customers) and empty promises about returning calls.

I was content that the funds would be released on the 19th May (as per their T&C's and as per their correspondance which stated they would be released 30days after last withdrawal), my last withdrawal was the 20th April so I expected the funds to be in my bank account this week at the latest. One thing that really annoyed me was the fact they could not give a specific date when the funds would be released from their accounts - considering the processing time had  already elapsed in April and there was no unknown quantities in the transaction.

Fast forward to this week, on the 22nd May the funds still had not been released so I rang customer service again to ask the question. Nobody I spoke with could give me any information so again, it was escalated to the operations team - but after 2 days I recieved no reply. I followed up again today to ask why I hadnt recieved a reply and if they could identify when the money would be released. I recieved an email (see attached) explaining that I had in fact recieved all my funds in April to which I rang them immediately to challenge and complain. It seems this email was sent in error and was down to incompetance or lack of attention to details.

So in my last conversation today with 888 Casino I was told I had to now tell them how much I thought I was owed by them, indicating a sheer lack of professional conduct and simple customer service as it appears they have no idea how much they actually owe me. Also, my "matter" will take between 24-72 hours to be dealt with - under the circumstance this is totally outragous.

I feel that 888 Casino have totally undermined the fair play of the gambling industry, by refusing to pay a legitimate withdrawal which has already been approved by them. Furthermore, the customer service is absolutely disgraceful.

I hope the matter can be resolved quickly and they can pay the money which they owe.

Best regards,

Paul Fallon

The money has reached my bank account today.

After a shakey start and some poor customer service, 888Casino have redeemed themselves with the escalation of the incident.

I will continue to use 888 Casino in future but would suggest the "ground level" customer service reps recieve adequet training and perhaps have UK based team for this tier of support.

Complaint #3366410


On august 5th after withdrawing $350 hours earlier I deposited some back on via E transfer. As this is the only way I ever fund my account.


After a run of good luck, I decided to cash out 10k of my winnings. I found it unusual that I did not receive my money within 30mins to 12 hours like every other time in the past.


After a few days of inquiring I was asked to provide a card that was so old and outdated that it no longer exists, then asked to provide bank statements for and account that is no longer open. I was then blocked from my account because I mentioned I wanted to pay some extra bills with the money.


After having my account restored, I reversed the 10k withdrawal like an idiot and lost almost half of it. Mangaed to turn revers withdrawal off, and request the remaining balance in a few withdrawals. Since then I have spent every day trying to get my money.


I have uploaded countless copies of any and all possible documents that can be useful, in many formats including all PDF's. My last upload being my bank wire instructions zoomed in, and highlighted arrows pointing to each of there listed information requirements. That was 5 or more days ago. Only silence since.


Any time I inquire I get the say copy and paste response check your email, it has been escalated to "whatever team" for Manuel review. You will hear back in 72. Hours. Or contact live chat. When I do that I get the same run around and 72hour timeline. Over and over again, I am embarrassed as I told people how awesome 888 was. I'll never say that again.


I just want my money and to be done with 888. I have never had this kind of issue with any other online casino. Don't play on 888

Blocked Withdrawals and Repeated Account Verification

Hello,


I would like to file a formal complaint regarding my withdrawals and the repeated verification requests on my 888 Casino account.


It has now been about one month since I started trying to withdraw my money. I have made several withdrawal requests, including $1,000, $1,800, $1,200, and eventually a $4,000 withdrawal.


Since the beginning, I have repeatedly been asked to verify my identity. I have provided all the requested documents multiple times, including my three most recent bank statements from National Bank of Canada in Montreal, my Quebec driver’s licence, and proof of address through a Hydro-Québec bill.


I have spoken with many different agents, probably between 15 and 20. Every time, I receive the exact same response: “Please send your three most recent bank statements and your ID.” I explain every time that I have already submitted these documents several times, but nobody seems able to give me a clear answer or permanently resolve the issue.


What is even more confusing is that three days ago, I received an email confirming that my verification had been successfully completed and that everything was in order.


However, the very next day, I received another message asking me to verify my identity again.


How is it possible for you to confirm that my account has been successfully verified and then ask me to complete the exact same verification again the next day?


Today, August 31, 2026, I am still in the same situation and have received no clear solution. This situation is causing me a great deal of stress and has become extremely frustrating.


I have fully cooperated with your team and provided every document requested. I am now asking for a supervisor or manager to personally review my case, because I do not want to keep receiving automated responses or repeating the same process with a different agent every day.


I simply want a clear answer: What is actually blocking my withdrawals, and when will I receive my money?


Please take this complaint seriously and provide me with a clear and concrete response.

Unexplained Rejection of Verification Documents and Delayed Withdrawal Processing
I am submitting this complaint regarding the handling of my withdrawal requests and account verification by 888casino.

I submitted two withdrawal requests (Withdrawal Request IDs: 968252944068 and 968242041784). As part of the verification process, I was asked to provide proof of my bank account, and I promptly submitted my bank statement.

My bank statement was later rejected, but I was not provided with any explanation for the rejection or informed of what was wrong with the document. To determine the issue, I contacted my bank. The bank confirmed that my full legal surname cannot be displayed on bank statements because of a system character limit. They issued an official letter confirming that the account belongs to me, stating my full legal name, and explaining why the bank statement displays a shortened version of my surname.

I resubmitted my bank statement together with the official bank letter explaining the name limitation in an effort to satisfy the verification requirements.

Throughout this process, I repeatedly contacted 888casino through the live chat to request updates and ask for clarification. However, I consistently received the same standard response without any explanation addressing my specific situation:

"Your conversation has now been transferred to our Security Team.

They're already reviewing your account and the information you've provided. We'll complete the review within 24 hours and will contact you if we need anything further.

There's nothing you need to do at this stage. We'll be in touch as soon as the review is complete.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this process."

Despite being told the review would be completed within 24 hours, I did not receive any meaningful update or explanation. My requests for clarification regarding the rejected document were not answered, and I was not informed of any additional information required to complete the verification process. My support reference ID is 844020803.

My concern is not only the delay in processing my withdrawals, but also the lack of transparency and communication throughout the verification process. My documents were rejected without explanation, and despite my repeated attempts to resolve the issue and provide additional supporting documentation, I have been unable to obtain a clear response.

I respectfully request that this matter be investigated, that my verification documents be reviewed fairly, and that my pending withdrawal requests be processed as soon as possible.

888 Canada Withdrawals Pending Since July 8 Despite Completed Verification
I am submitting this complaint regarding withdrawals totalling CAD $1824 from my 888 Canada account, which have remained pending since July 8, 2026.

Following my withdrawal request, 888 asked me to provide identity verification and Source of Wealth documentation. I provided all requested documents promptly. My documents were subsequently acknowledged as received, and I was informed that the matter had been passed to the Compliance team.

Since then, I have repeatedly contacted 888 through email and live chat. I have been told several times that my case was escalated, that I would receive an update, and that I would receive a phone call. None of those promised follow-ups occurred.

As of July 16, 2026, I have not been informed that any additional documentation is required from me. My withdrawals remain pending, and I have received no meaningful explanation or timeframe for completion.

I understand that compliance checks may be necessary, and I have cooperated fully throughout the process. My complaint is not about 888 conducting appropriate verification. It is about the prolonged delay, the lack of a meaningful status update, and repeated commitments to contact me that were not honoured.

My 888 case reference is 2997992. My live chat reference is Rec0BH46B0QQL

I am requesting that 888 complete the review without further unnecessary delay and release my withdrawals. If there is a genuine outstanding issue, I ask that 888 clearly identify it and provide a reasonable timeframe for resolution.

I can provide supporting emails, chat records, document-receipt confirmations, and screenshots showing the pending withdrawals.

withdrawal pending since June 5 with no clear verification or payment update

I am submitting this complaint regarding a delayed withdrawal from my 888 Casino account.

On June 5, 2026 at 3:43 PM, I requested a withdrawal of C$1,007.64. The withdrawal confirmation ID is 954432916095. My support ID is 847520578.

As of June 23, 2026 at approximately 9:10 PM Pacific Time, the withdrawal was still pending and had not been paid. The withdrawal has now been pending for approximately 18 days.

I have contacted 888 Casino support multiple times to ask what is preventing the withdrawal and what, if anything, remains outstanding. I have submitted the requested verification and banking documents, including my driver’s licence, proof of address/utility bill, bank statement, card documentation, wire transfer instructions, and later a void cheque when support requested it.

On June 9, I contacted support to confirm whether my documents had been received and whether anything was missing. I explained that I had submitted my driver’s licence, utility bill, bank statement, copy of my card, and wire transfer instructions, all connected to the same account I used to deposit funds. The agent told me the documents had been received, that they would verify them right away, and that I should expect an email that day. I did not receive that email.

On June 15, after the withdrawal had been pending for 10 days, I contacted support again and asked for a substantive update. I was told there was a date-of-birth discrepancy. I verified my personal details, and the agent confirmed that the date of birth had been corrected. I was also asked to provide a void cheque for the withdrawal query, which I did. I then verified my email and cell phone as requested.

On June 22, I contacted support again. I first received a response asking me to allow up to 24 hours for review of my account, and the chat was then closed. I then opened another chat and specifically asked for confirmation of my verification status, whether any documents or banking details were still outstanding, whether my Canadian banking information had been accepted, the reason the withdrawal had not been released, the expected release date, and an escalation or reference number.

I was connected with Patrick, who said he would escalate the case to the transaction team and inform them about my withdrawal status. I explained that I keep being told I will receive an email update, but nothing happens. Patrick then said the case had been forwarded and prioritized, but I still did not receive a clear verification decision, payment confirmation, request for further documents, or explanation for the continued delay.

There may also be a Canada-specific banking issue. I am a Canadian player using a Canadian bank account. Canadian banks generally do not use IBAN numbers. In the IBAN field, I entered my Canadian bank account number, which is the standard account identifier used in Canada, along with the other Canadian banking details available to me. The bank account information I provided is connected to the same Visa Debit card/account that I used to fund activity on 888 Casino.
