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.

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.
