UNRESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Italy faced ongoing issues with the 888 casino after winning 2000 €, as his account was blocked and he was required to provide multiple documents for verification. Despite submitting various forms of proof, including selfies and proof of residence, he received daily updates that his documents were still under review, preventing him from withdrawing his winnings. The Complaints Team attempted to engage with the casino for resolution but ultimately marked the complaint as 'unresolved' due to the casino's lack of cooperation. The player was advised to contact the Italian Gaming Authority for further assistance.

Hello, it has been months now that I have been struggling daily with the support team of the 888 casino site. Because after winning 2000 € in a casino game, they blocked my account and requested several documents. I provided everything from selfies to photos of the card (covering the data), including proof of residence. I sent them all forms of proof of residence, even those downloaded from the government website, account statements, and even bill statements that I printed out besides sending the PDF. I have sent every possible type of document. To this day, every day, they tell me that my latest documents are under review, and every day they say they open a ticket, but they don't resolve anything. It seems like they are looking for any reason to hold my money. Obviously, my account is limited because theoretically, I need to provide these documents, which I have already provided, but they won't unlock my account to withdraw my money. I am pleading for help. Hello, it has been months now that I have been struggling daily with the support team of the 888 casino site.

Dear mciotti02,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. 

  • Could you please advise which games you focused on - slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • When did you send the last document(s)? Have you provided all the required documents in the correct format?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

I would now like to ask 888 Casino IT for their help in resolving this complaint. We would like to know why was the player's account blocked and what can we do to help the player receive their winnings.

Thank you!

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli  (https://casinoguru-en.com/licensing-authorities/italy-license) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
