888 Casino - Closed my account kept my deposit
The issue that I have experienced was: I joined up to 888sport at the start of November with there welcome offer of 100% upto 500 in free bets welcome500. So put 500 in to wager on sports, they let me deposit and place two bets then decided they wanted to verify my account, so I couldnt log in,they asked for identification which I quickly gave them in the form of driving licence and recent bank statement, days went by without them verifying me, I emailed a few times no response at all, so I called them, he assured me they were working on it and had a back log of people waiting, i waited a few more days no change, so nearly two weeks since they had identification and I was still waiting, bearing in mind you only had so many days to complete welcome offer too, so it felt they were being dishonest by trying to block me completing the wager required, so I rang again and told them to please hurry up and verify so I could complete the offer and within 10 minutes of that phone call I had an email saying they could not verify my account and that it was closed due to failing security checks.
I emailed back and asked them why this happened and when would they return my money, they kept sending the same generic response that account is closed and no further transactions would take place, they even stuck that line in capitials to make it very clear they do not intend to return the 474(roughly) that is still in that account. They then sent another strange email asking for copy of birth cerificate after telling me several times no further transactions from this account, so I questioned why they needed this if they wont verify or unblock my account or if they are not willing to return my money, just to get the same nasty response of no further transactions. I've told them several times they are not legally permitted to keep my money, they wont listen, please help me resolve this.
