Holding deposit funds after self exclusion and not refunding them

I am filing this complaint regarding the extremely unreasonable and unacceptable handling of my 7,000 CAD withdrawal by 888casino Ontario.

My account had already been fully verified before this withdrawal request was ever made. Despite that, for nearly two months I have been trapped in an endless cycle of repeated document requests, delays, and meaningless template responses while my funds continue to be withheld.

During this entire process:

I contacted support more than 30 times through email and live chat

I repeatedly submitted every document and every piece of information requested

I complied multiple times with additional CCS2800 verification requests

I received almost nothing except scripted copy-paste apologies for the delay

My direct questions were consistently ignored

No one explained why the withdrawal was being delayed

No realistic timeframe was ever provided

Support continuously avoided addressing the actual issues raised and instead recycled generic responses

The most frustrating part is that the same documents and information have effectively been requested again and again despite my account already being verified and despite my full cooperation throughout the entire process.

After nearly two months, there is still no resolution, no accountability, and no meaningful communication from 888casino.

At this stage, this no longer resembles a normal verification process. It appears to be an unnecessarily prolonged and obstructive delay process where a verified customer is repeatedly forced to resubmit information while being given no transparency whatsoever.

Most recently, after once again submitting all the requested documents, I heard absolutely nothing back for over a week.

It should not require more than 30 contacts, repeated document submissions, and nearly two months of chasing support simply to receive a withdrawal from an already verified account.

I am requesting immediate release and processing of my 7,000 CAD withdrawal, written confirmation that all verification requirements have finally been satisfied, a proper explanation for the repeated delays and repetitive document requests, and an end to the continuous scripted responses and unnecessary obstruction of this withdrawal

I have preserved all emails, screenshots, live chat transcripts, and proof of every document submission made throughout this process and am fully prepared to continue escalating this matter through all available regulatory, mediation, and consumer protection channels if this situation is not resolved immediately.

Hello,

My name is < full name removed > and I am submitting a complaint regarding 888.ro, which closed my account and withheld my funds.

I fully cooperated with the verification process and provided all requested documents multiple times, including:

ID (front and back)

Selfie with ID

Utility bill

Bank statement (3 months)

Card photos (front and back)

Card confirmation

The only request I refused was to record a video from my personal banking application.

I consider this request:

highly intrusive

unrelated to standard identity verification

potentially impossible due to banking security restrictions

Despite fully cooperating with all other verification steps, my account was closed and my funds were not paid.

I believe this is unfair because:

I acted in good faith

I provided sufficient documentation to verify my identity

The refusal of an excessive request should not justify confiscation of funds

I request:

Investigation of this case

Clarification on whether such requests are acceptable

Assistance in recovering my funds

I can provide all supporting evidence.

Kind regards,

< full name removed >

Hello,

I am submitting a complaint regarding unfair verification practices applied by 888.ro, which are preventing me from accessing my funds.

I have fully complied with all verification requirements and submitted:

ID (front and back)

Selfie with ID

Bank statement (official PDF downloaded from ING Bank)

Proof of address

Despite this, my bank statement was rejected without a clear explanation.

I was then asked to provide a video recording of my phone screen while accessing the banking app, which is technically impossible because the ING Bank application blocks screen recording for security reasons.

Additionally, I was contacted by phone and asked to provide very specific details about my betting history (exact dates, hours, and amounts), without being allowed to check my account. This is an unreasonable and abusive request.

I believe I have acted in good faith and provided all valid documents, yet the operator continues to delay or block the process without justification.

I request:

A fair and reasonable verification process

Acceptance of official documents

Access to my funds without further delay

I am ready to provide all supporting evidence (emails, screenshots, documents).

Kind regards,

< full name removed >

Hi

I played on this casino called 888casino on the sports section, only reason I played on here was to make sportsbets and live bets on tennis matches and so on. But few weeks ago they banned me from making any sports bets, thats fine dont really mind I just want to withdraw my money. Well they asked for documents id and proof of address, also thats fine so i give them exactly that. Well id went through but proof of address not. It was my electricity bill so that should go through. Well then I gave them my tax document another valid proof of address. Well again rejected and asking for new one. Well i posted a different more new electricity bill also my bank statement just in case. Again rejected rejected and rejected. Read from online that they just do this to every single customer that tries to withdraw their money I guess. Also saw that my address was slightly changed on my profile it used to say the whole address with the house number. Now it only says the street address without house number, and I didn't change that myself they did, dont know why tho.

Their live chat is very rude and not helpful at all can send u a screenshot of that.

So I really need help here they clearly just trying to delay my verification process even though I have legit documents to provide.

I can also send u the documents I have sent them if u want to see if they are good enough.
