I need help with 888 Casino

Hello,

I have an issue with 888 casino, because they closed my account and confiscated my wins

I played in the casino and had a luck to win.

My bankroll was 2397 and suddenly my account has been closed.

From a total bankroll of 2397, 640 were deposited money, around 600 were bonuses I got and the rest around 1160 were my wins.

The casino refunded me with 640 (my deposited money), but didn't pay the wins.

Their explanations were very strange.

In the beginning they asked my document for verification and after submitting the documents, they wrote:

Thank you for recently submitting your document via our "Upload Your

Documents Feature". Unfortunately, your documents submitted did not pass

our Security Check therefore; your account will remain closed.We

respectfully ask you to refrain from opening further accounts with

casinos owned and operated by Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Ltd. Any

accounts opened will be immediately blocked and the deposits not

refunded.

I've tried to understand what's the problem with my docs and what is missing and asked them:

What does it mean documents didn't pass your security check??? Do you need another scans?

But they have ingnored my questions and started to talk about another issue:

Bogdan, with reference to your query please be advised that due to your

activities on our site, which includes depositing at specific times to

award your account with the most bonuses which was clearly against the

Terms and Conditions, your membership has been terminated.With

regards to your funds please note that arrangements have been made to be

process the available amount in your bankroll excluding the amounts

that still requires wagering.

Here I have understood they refered to their montly promotion. Bonus of 150 for 15 deposits. The minimal deposit was 50 to participate in the promotion. I don't have big sum on my ewallet, so I replied to their email:

Your reply is inconsistent. Previously you wrote, that my documents didn't pass the security check. In the last email you've wrote about depositing in specific times, that definitely doesn't relate to documents processing.

I didn't break any term in your terms and conditions. When you publish promotion "get 150 euro bonus by making 15 deposits" and the minimal deposit is 50, I understand it as it is. And I made 15 deposits.

What else do you want I understand from the promotion?

Do you blame me in breaking rules, that I did the deposits to get the promotion, which requires making the deposits? Ridiculous!

I also want to remind you, that each bonus has a huge wagering requirements. Playing Live Blackjack (the game I played) I obligated to put sum = Bonusx400. So to get 150 bonus I have to wager 60000 euro. 60000 euro! putting the sum I probably will lose all my deposits and bonuses!

So after making the deposits and getting the bonus, you didn't remove my bonus. You have waited I lose all of it.

But the time I've started to win! And at the moment you've closed my account. Very smart! my bonuses were about 550 euro, my deposits were about 700 euro, but my balance was about 2400 euro. So by risking my deposits, I won 2400-700-550=1150 euro and I want to get the winnigs!

To the email they didn't answer for about a week, so I sent them reminder and got the reply:

We thank you for submitting your documents to us; however, as previously

advised we are unable to accept them for verification purposes. In

addition to this, after a careful review of your deposit, bonus and game

play patterns, we have decided to keep your account closed and as such,

your account has been permanently blocked from further use.

Please

be advised that we have requested a withdrawal for your available

bankroll balance, which will be paid as per our withdrawal policy back

to

your NETeller account, and no further transactions will be completed on

your account with us.

According to the User Agreement you have

with us, in the event that we believe that if a user is abusing or

attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit

through abuse or lack of good faith from a gaming policy adopted by us,

then we may in our sole discretion, deny any bonus or promotion, or

rescind any policy in respect of that user, either temporarily or

permanently.

The conclusion:

1. They don't answer my questions

2. They blaimed me in breaking terms and conditions, but I didn't do that.

3. They confiscated not only bonuses, but also my wins, which were got by risking my deposited money.

4. I think this is unfair and I can't resolve it by myself and ask you to help.

Delayed payment for almost 2 months on a fully verified account

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.

Delayed withdrawal funds withheld for over 2 months
I am filing this complaint regarding an unresolved withdrawal of $8205 from my 888casino account, which has been pending for more than two months without any explanation or resolution.
Timeline of events:

I submitted a withdrawal request to my Neteller account approximately 2–3 months ago.
I completed all KYC/identity verification procedures in full, providing every document requested by the casino.
My verification status was confirmed as approved.
Despite full compliance with all requirements, my withdrawal has not been processed.
I contacted 888casino customer support multiple times via email and live chat. My messages were either ignored or received only generic automated responses with no meaningful follow-up.
On 30.04.2026, I sent a formal written complaint demanding payment within 48 hours, citing intent to escalate to the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner and the UK Gambling Commission. No response was received within 7 days.

Current status:
The withdrawal remains pending. I have received no explanation, no estimated payment date, and no meaningful communication from 888casino.
What I am requesting:
Immediate release of my funds ($8205) to my Neteller account, which was the original and explicitly stated withdrawal method.
I have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter directly with the casino before escalating to AskGamblers. The casino's prolonged silence and inaction leave me no alternative.
I am happy to provide any additional documentation upon request.

Withdrawal request still awaiting process after 18 days
Hi my support ID is 840559228. On April 25th 2026 I won 59,000 Canadian dollars on slots at 888 Casino. I requested a withdrawal, ID 941862948229 of 30,000 which was the maximum monthly withdrawal. I initially requested in to be E-Transferred but was unable to do that so I reversed the withdrawal and then redid it requesting a wire transfer . I uploaded my British Columbia , Canada drivers license and the required wire transfer information for my bank account. I was asked for a bank statement which I uploaded. The statement was for the same account I used to e-transfer the funds I used to gamble on the 888 Casino site and the name and address of the account match my drivers license. This is also the account I have requested the funds be wired to. I talked to a live agent after several days to enquire why my withdrawal was still awaiting process. He asked me to again upload my bank statement and ID which I did. On 888 casino the documents I uploaded are showing as awaiting verification since May 1st 2026 and I have not received any emails from 888 Casino giving me any updates on the withdrawal request or on the verification of my documents and ID. I have talked to 4 live agents on the support chat and have been told I dint need to upload any more documents and that they have escalated the matter to the payments department and that they will process the withdrawal as soon as possible. The fact that the documents are still not verified makes me believe that no progress has been made in my withdrawal request. If any other documents are required I will provide them immediately . I have turned off my ability to reverse the withdrawal in my 888 Casino account. This delay is way beyond the stated timeframes on the 888 Casino site.

I am filing this complaint against 888ro regarding an unjustified account closure and the confiscation of my winnings following a Live Casino session
Detailed Chronology:

Verified History: I have been a customer of 888.ro for some time and have successfully completed withdrawals in the past. My account was previously verified and considered compliant.

Recent Activity: A few days ago, I deposited and played sports betting. After finishing, I withdrew my entire balance without any issues.

New Session: After a couple of days, I decided to deposit again. This time, I played exclusively Live Baccarat in the Live Casino section. I managed to win, bringing my balance to [4300 ] RON.

The Obstacle: When I tried to withdraw my new winnings, the casino requested a screen recording of my banking app. However, my bank account has been officially closed by the bank in the meantime.

Official Evidence: Since it is technically impossible to record an app for a closed account, I provided 888.ro with official, stamped documents from the bank confirming the closure and my ownership.

Unfair Closure: Instead of accepting these official legal documents, 888.ro permanently closed my account, citing a generic breach of Terms and Conditions, and seized my funds.

My Position:
It is highly abusive for a casino to accept my deposits and allow me to play, only to demand an impossible verification method (video of a closed app) once I win at Live Baccarat. I have provided superior legal proof (bank papers), but they are being ignored to avoid paying out my winnings.

I am asking AskGamblers to mediate this case so I can receive my legitimate funds.
