Software Rigging


I would like all my swift deposits returned during the month of July (2015) returned due to what I suspect is software rigging at 888. The amount for this is $221. 44 CAD
I have been playing at 888 for several years with no major issues. In June of 2015 I notice the system began crashing with increased frequency. In the beginning when these network crashes occurred, 888 admin would post an apology on the gaming site or place tournaments on pause until the technical issues were resolved. Often games picked up from last point of crash and continued as normal. In July of 2015, these network crashes increased in frequency..daily and sometimes hourly. At first support denied this was happening until I started sending screenshots of their network announcements and site difficulties. They then admitted they were having network issues and were working hard to resolve the issues. Problem is, most often these "crashes" were occurring during premium poker hands about to win a big pot or casino games that were in lucrative bonus rounds. Now when the site restored to normal, the pocket aces that were just about to win a big pot were replaced with a trash hand such as 2, 9 off-suit which continued for the duration of play time. As of July, hand records in the system disappeared. Missing hand histories always came on the heels of their network difficulties.
When network difficulties occurred during casino play, it would often happen in the middle of bonus rounds. These bonus rounds suddenly disappeared when the network was restored. Often their network issues would only last a matter of seconds, yet enough time for game ID numbers to disappear as well.
So when the system was finally up and running in a somewhat normal play, rather than restoring to previous play points or bonus rounds, whole new games were created. Any gains were lost and even the cost of spins during the crash were lost. When I brought this issue to support, they asked me to troubleshoot the gaming software! They denied the problems and conveniently wiped out any record of play. This rigging also occurred with their free spin bonus promotions for tournament ticket, free bets or free casino money. If I won on a spin, the site would announce network difficulties and for me to " try again". When the site was restored (sometimes seconds later) the spin would not result in a win. This happened way to often for my liking. During the month of July, 888 sent out several apologies and compensated players with a free tournament ticket. This is very unjust considering the losses and frustration that occurred during their network meltdowns. Prior to this shady activity, I enjoyed regular play with good wins. Balanced and fair play. During the month of July I notice games degrading with each network crash. I believe 888 used these crashed to interfere with gaming payouts for the purpose of denying players due compensation. Because of the frequency of network issues, I am asking for the return of my July deposits. I no longer play at 888 simply because I have had no assurance this software "rigging" has been resolved.

I have attached 888 response to technical difficulties. Their solution is to close my account and to offer 50 dollars if I ever wish to return. I received this response to my inbox in the last 24 hours. Note they do acknowledge their technical issues yet do not offer to return my deposited money during these technical problems. I guess by deleting my account they have solved the problem.

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.
