Case summary

10 months ago

The player from Italy had faced a delay in the withdrawal process with 888 casino even though her account was fully active and verified. The casino didn't accept PayPal, which was the original deposit method and the player had been waiting over 40 days for a withdrawal approval. The player had provided all the necessary documents for verification, but the casino claimed they were not up to their standards, causing further delay. After the intervention of the Complaints Team and a long back-and-forth with the casino, the player's withdrawal was finally approved and she confirmed receipt of the full amount.

I've been playing in the live casino on 888 without ever using bonuses. I tried to withdraw my funds two months ago and they told me that they didn't accept PayPal (which I used for depositing) and furthermore asked me to send them my banking details via email so I could withdraw. I did this 40 days ago and they still haven't approved my withdrawal. Whenever I manage to reach them through live chat, they simply tell me to wait. Moreover, my account is fully active and verified.

They're not paying, what can I do?

Dear sorridaniela,

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

Please understand, that the variety and accessibility of payment methods are not managed by the casino exclusively. Several factors as the Licensing Authority, geolocation, contracts with the payment providers, and bank restrictions, all have a major influence. If a payment method was available for deposits, it doesn’t mean necessarily, that it will be offered for withdrawals too, also it can be discontinued at any time. Unfortunately, casinos are sometimes powerless and limited in offering payment methods to their customers.

  • Could you please advise if you have been informed about any alternative method to withdraw your winnings?
  • If there's any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

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,

Petronela



Due to the increased volume of complaints during this time of year, we kindly request your patience while awaiting our responses. We aim to publish each complaint within 48 hours of submission but reserve up to 7 days to reply to any subsequent comments. Additionally, please be aware that it might take a bit longer for your complaint to be assigned to a resolver, as we are currently managing over 900 complaints.

Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Wishing you a joyful, successful, and healthy new year 2024, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

I sent her screenshots of the conversations with the dates. As you can see, I have always received withdrawal confirmations but the outgoing bank transfers from 888 have remained stopped waiting for something and today in the morning without explanation I received a blocking email from the casino asking me for additional documents to unblock the account . I promptly sent the requested documents to the casino (which hasn't responded to my emails for weeks as you can see) I hope that with your help the situation will be resolved because I really don't know who to turn to

Dear sorridaniela, have you tried to ask the casino via email as they recommend you to?


I also would like to confirm that I have received your emails with the documents. I've noticed that you have hidden some numbers from both bank statements (UniCredit and Intesa Sanpaolo). I'd suggest you try to send these documents without any editing. I realize that you may think these numbers are irrelevant for proof of address, however, it is always better to send only original documents downloaded directly from the issuer.

Could you please also specify if you have any utility bills (water, gas, electricity) stating your address on them?


As for the documents to prove your identity: I'd recommend you try to make a new selfie with your ID card, where it is seen that you hold your ID card. On the selfie you sent to me, your hand and arm are not fully visible and the photo seems to be cropped a little bit. Please, see the attached picture, could you take a selfie more like this?

Since the casino doesn't explain why your documents are rejected, I cannot guarantee that these improvements may help, but I hope you'll give it a try.

regarding the selfie they never said anything, in fact they approved it, however for the proof of residence the two bank statements were partially hidden for privacy reasons since they contain my personal data, what exactly is this information for 888? Why is it not enough to stick to the data they requested such as name and surname, residence address and bank logo?

I would like an answer from 888, casino guru it almost seems like you are justifying them, I checked on your site and you give this casino 10 stars, why despite seeing an avalanche of open complaints and negative reviews?

I hope I don't find myself on yet another site that pretends to be on the side of the players, I've also read strange things on trust pilot, despite this I would appreciate an answer from 888 thanks

Dear sorridaniela, I will repeat once again that my recommendation is at least to try to send these documents without editing. I'm sure the casino won't use your personal details in any way, however, based on our experience, many casinos immediately reject documents if they were somehow edited.

Dear Daniela,

We contact you from the 888.it operations team regarding your account with username ""daniSorri"".


Thank you for your cooperation with the verification of your gaming account, however we are unable to use the documents you have submitted to validate your personal data.

I leave the necessary conclusions to you, avoiding underlining what I have already said 40 times and waiting for the casino guru to ask 888 why the documents sent are not good? (even resent without censoring some banking transactions, which I could do for privacy )

Dear 888 Casino IT, we have checked the metadata of the UniCredit document the player claimed to have sent to you for verification, and it was created on 9.1.2024, the date on the document also confirms it.
