Inadequate Self Exclusion Checks


I refer to to my accounts with: 888.com moongames.com vegasspins.com & SecretSlots.com - which as I understand, are all entities under the 888 Group.

Having realised I was suffering from a compulsive gambling addiction, I requested that a full self exclusion period was placed upon my 888 account on 06/19/2017 . However, on the 5/03/18 i was able to open an account with VegasSpins.com and deposit £105 then on 04/05/18 I was able to open an account with www.moongames.com and make deposits totaling £630 i have contacted secret slots for my transaction history as I have also self-excluded from there. I was able using the same details as previously registered with 888, including: billing address, registered card details, paypal account, email address, IP address and usernames.

Upon registering with 'Moongames', I was allowed to make deposits totaling £630 and £105 with Vegasspins, there are also £350 worth of paypal deposits to 888 casino between 27/10/17 and 06/01/18 that i assume were secretslots or another 888.com entity - despite having a self exclusion ban placed on the account. As a 'responsible gaming provider' - that has a duty to help prevent compulsive usage - I am very disappointed that 888 holdings have failed to enforce their self exclusion policy/responsible gambling policy. No checks were made - which resulted in financial losses.

I have sought advice on the above and I herby request that:

i.) 888 holdings close my Moonspins, vegasspins and any other account in my name registered with a 888 group/Cassova Casino
ii.) 888 holdings provide a refund of the deposited funds, because of their inability to/inadequate checks for self exclusion.

I requested self exclusion from the site itself, their claim is that I didn't select bingo sites. I did not have the option to select sites. I requested self exclusion and selected 5 years, if I can sign up for other sites and still play slots then how is this self exclusion!

Dear axgod2,

Please make sure to update your complaint accordingly and support your statements and claims with relevant evidence. Such proof should be:

In case you fail to respond and/or provide requested information within the 96 hours, we will have no other choice but to close the case as resolved and recommend you to forward it to the relevant regulatory body instead.

Thank you in advance.

As I have said all along the screenshot attached is meaningless as as it was not something I was ever presented with. When I self excluded I certainly did not leave bingo sites unselected and don't believe I was given the option too. The money taken from me in was to play slots of which is what I instructed you to self exclude me from.

So this complaint is still not resolved

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.
