Withdrawal Refusal & Account Blockage
Today I received an email from 888 casino:
"As part of our on-going efforts to maintain fair and honest play, we were alerted to a number of suspicious patterns of play occurring at our Live Casino Blackjack tables in which you participated. We are currently carrying out a thorough investigation into your activities and as a result, your account has been blocked from further use at this time.
We take these matters extremely seriously, therefore if you have any information which would assist with our investigation in regards to your betting activity and actions on the tables we would be grateful to receive it. On receiving your response we shall then be able to proceed with any decision which has been made regarding your account."
I deposited $1500 and withdrew $4270 after playing online blackjack for a few hours, only to be told that my account is blocked, my withdrawal was refused (note: this was done after the withdrawal had been approved the day before), my money was returned to the blocked account, and that there is now an investigation. I completed my verification as asked for and I have been given no further details. This seems highly unfair for my funds to be withheld/delayed in such an opaque manner and very unprofessional to ask me for a response prior to 'proceeding'.
