Good morning, I have a huge problem with the casino.

About 6-7 months ago, I had a significant win at 888 Casino. Immediately after winning on the slots, my account was blocked, and no one has responded to me since. I have sent emails to support@888casino.com, support@888.it, and reclami@888.it, but in 7 months, I have never received a reply. I always uploaded all the requested documents immediately, but they were consistently rejected, including all my selfies, photos of my documents, and my bank statement. At one point, I was even asked to provide a utility bill (even though I still live with my parents).

I am worried that they are taking advantage of me because I'm quite a good-looking girl and they keep asking me for selfies in different poses. I have consulted a lawyer who prepared a legal notice, but I am unable to deliver it because no one has ever responded to my emails. Please help me, I feel used as a woman and mocked.

Dear celaPro1,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. 

Please understand that KYC is a very important and essential process, during which the casino makes sure that the money is sent to the rightful owner. As they don't have the luxury of being able to physically see all of the players and check their identification and documents, this is the only way gambling establishments are able to complete the verification procedures. None of the serious and licensed casinos take KYC lightly and it might take a few working days to complete this thorough process. 

  • Could you please advise which documents you have already provided and when exactly did you send the last one?
  • Have you provided all the required documents as soon as possible and 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 in advance for your reply. 

Best regards, 

Dominika

Good morning, I understand the importance of verification but verification cannot go against people in fact I have always taken the matter seriously but you also understand that 6 months is too much. Especially when they ask for seriousness and then do not respond....

I provided my ID front and back in two perfect photos, my bank statement in the PDF format provided to me by the bank with my address clearly visible and many selfies of me with the document (the document is perfectly legible and you can see my whole arm as they requested).

No I have not accumulated winnings with active bonuses

Dear celaPro1, have you been informed about the outcome of each document verification?

Could you please share your communication with the casino regarding the verification? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at dominika.l@casino.guru, or post screenshots here.

Yes I upload here the screenshots of all the emails I sent with the requested documents, then I send her all my selfies and all the proofs of residence on her email. She understands that since I am 18 years old I live with my parents so I cannot have a bill in my name but only my bank account

Thank you very much, celaPro1, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.k@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hello celaPro1,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case, and although I can understand your frustration with the whole situation, the KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) are very important and essential processes. Licensed casinos treat these procedures with utmost seriousness. It is within the rights of the casino to request various documents to adequately verify your address. I understand that this may pose a challenge for you, particularly since you reside with your parents and the standard utility bills are not registered in your name. However, do you possess any official documents, such as a letter from your former school or a pay slip, that could serve as proof of your address?

I will contact the casino to see if I can help.

We would like to invite 888 Casino IT to join the conversation.


Dear 888 Casino IT,

I acknowledge your need for documentation to verify the player's address, which is a standard procedure for KYC and AML compliance. However, as the player has indicated that they reside with their parents, they are unable to furnish any utility bills in their name. Could you please specify what alternative documents would be acceptable for verification purposes?

I understand 100% the casino's need to verify my identity for kyc and aml but I find myself having my account blocked for almost a year, having a super poor customer service that asks me for documents 100 times when I have already provided them. I think they are taking advantage of this to not pay the winnings owed to me

Hi  celaPro1,


Thank you for your continued patience, and we truly understand how frustrating this process has been for you.

We want to assure you that the verification process is an essential requirement to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this extended period of review.


To proceed with your account verification, we still require a proof of address and a selfie with your ID. Here are a few tips to ensure the documents meet the necessary requirements:


Proof of Address:

Since you do not have utility bills in your name, we suggest providing alternative documents such as a recent bank statement or a government letter (such as a letter from your former school or a tax document) that clearly shows your full name and current residential address.


Selfie with ID:

Please make sure the photo is well-lit and clear, with no parts of the ID obscured.

Ensure your entire ID card is visible, and your face is clearly seen.

The image should include your full arm holding the ID as requested, and make sure all details on the ID are legible.


If you have already provided these documents but feel they were not accepted due to minor issues, please recheck and resubmit them, ensuring all the details are fully visible.


Once the documents are successfully uploaded, our team will review them as quickly as possible. We appreciate your cooperation and are here to assist if you need any further clarification.


Sincerely,

888 Team

Hi celaPro1,


Please kindly upload a clear and non-mirrored selfie of yourself holding your ID. It’s important that the photo is taken in good lighting, and your face, along with all details on the ID, must be visible and easy to read. This helps us ensure a smooth verification process.


For the proof of address, please provide a document that includes all the necessary details such as your full name, address, and date of issue. This could be a utility bill, bank statement, or any other official document that clearly displays your address. You can upload the original digital file of your proof of address, ensuring that it is legible and unaltered.


Once we receive these documents, we’ll be able to proceed with verifying your account. If you have any questions about the process or need further clarification, feel free to reach out!


Sincerely,

888 Team

Hi celaPro1,


Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us.


We understand that this situation has been frustrating, and we’re here to help clarify the process. When it comes to the verification process, we’re required to follow strict regulatory guidelines to ensure that all documents meet specific standards. This includes ensuring the quality of the selfie and that the proof of address is clear and up to date.


If you’re unable to provide a utility bill, as you mentioned being 18, other documents such as a bank statement or an official letter that clearly shows your name, address, and a recent date can be used as proof of residence. As for the selfie, it’s important that it clearly shows your face and the details of your ID in a well-lit setting.

We are sorry if the communication hasn’t been as helpful as expected, and we’ll work on providing clearer instructions moving forward. Our support team is available via live chat for any further assistance you may need.


Thank you for your understanding.


Best regards,

Dear celaPro1,

Just to check, are you sending the casino team the same pictures repeatedly? If so, I would suggest that you take new selfies that fit the specifications mentioned by the casino team. Although I understand that you cannot provide a utility bill in your mane, however, do you possess any other official documents, such as a letter from your former school, a pay slip, an antigraft letter (civil registry office letter), or any other documents that could serve as proof of your address?

as for the selfie I have already sent too many and always different ones. now I have taken one where you can read everything and they have to accept it. as for the residence I have no other proof except bank statements and proof of the ISEE and proof of the average balance. I have two banks and I have already provided the documents of both. understand that I am 18 years old not 30 with a house, bills, a pay slip or an anti-corruption letter

I would like to inform the casino guru staff that in September a formal notice for breach of contract was sent and uploaded pursuant to article 1454 for the closure of my gaming account and the crediting of the winnings due, however STRANGELY it was ignored and they pretended not to have received it
