Help needed as 888 casino has confiscated my winnings


I sincerely need professional advise and help on my recent deposit and winnings at 888.com as the operation department refuse to pay the money to my account and I think this is a case that should be filed as such incidence is very different from all the complaints I read so far from any of the complain forum.

Story in key points:

1. Yesterday I deposit 9000 GBP and won up to 22980GBP

2. I did a cash withdraw with confirmation number being sent to my email account.

3. When I re login to the site, I was told that it has been suspended and I therefore called 888.com customer service hotline and request for explanation, the representative said I have previously self excluded myself from the site and I should receive an email very quickly but then she said I congratulation as with my winnings as the winning will still be paid.

4. Today I received an email from the operation department saying that they will avoid all the transactions with 888.com and they will not pay out my winnings.

Further information:

1. I joined 888.com years ago and previously did self excluded myself from them as I lost over 80K in one go.

2. After a while later, the company sent me marketing material through different email and somehow I re-joined the site and played. This time I lost a lot again over 20K+

3. I did complain before and said why did they send me marketing material while I was in my exclusion period. Will they refund those money I lost? and they said NO.

4. The case was off and I regret what I did.

5. A while later, I receive marketing material again and I enrol to the site yesterday.

6. This time I won up 10K and request for cash out but then receive email from them today that because I have self excluded myself and agree not to play with 888.com, any winnings and deposit will be confiscated.

Do you find this very unfair? Self exclusion means they will avoid me from logging into the account but somehow they let me do that few times, but when I lost they wont repay my lost money, and if I win (like this time?) they wont pay me back my winnings.

Positive Proof.

1. Phone conversation recorded with supporting team saying that pay out will be provided with time recorded.

2. Email confirmation with the withdrawal.

Negative:

1. May have agreed previously with the company self exclusion terms and condition which I am sure that just a big company they will have all the statement protecting themselves.

Please advise what should I do and what is my ground of appealing?

Thanks for your professional advise.

Withdrawal Stuck in Manual Review With No Estimated Timeframe
I am submitting this complaint regarding an outstanding C$9,000 withdrawal from 888casino, requested on October 1, 2026, via Interac e-Transfer.

My withdrawal confirmation ID is 988033366704.

As of October 8, my withdrawal remains in "Awaiting Process" status, with C$0 processed.

What I find particularly concerning is that I have successfully received several smaller withdrawals through the same payment method since requesting the C$9,000. These smaller withdrawals were processed quickly and without issue.

On October 5, I received a request from 888casino's Operations Team for additional verification, specifically a recent bank statement. I promptly submitted an official bank statement containing the requested information.

Since then, I have contacted customer support multiple times seeking an update. I have been informed that my withdrawal is undergoing manual review and has been escalated to the relevant department.

My primary concern is that 888casino cannot provide any estimated timeframe for how long this manual review will take or when I can expect my withdrawal to be processed.

Most recently, on October 7, customer support confirmed that the withdrawal had already been escalated but stated that they had no further updates regarding the outcome.

I fully understand and respect the need for identity verification and security procedures. I have cooperated with the documentation requests and am willing to provide any additional information reasonably required.

However, having C$9,000 pending with no indication of when the review will be completed is extremely frustrating, particularly when customer support cannot provide any meaningful information beyond advising me to wait.

I am requesting AskGamblers' assistance in obtaining a clear explanation of the delay, confirmation of whether any further verification is required, and a reasonable timeframe for completing the review and releasing my C$9,000 withdrawal.

Thank you for your assistance.

Endless documents uploaded since August 5th

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.
