REJECTED

Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Kuwait had his account blocked after providing documents for verification. The casino responded and stated they were doing everything possible to expedite the verification process. They were unable to provide us with any further information so it was not possible to make an informed assessment of the situation, and after an extended period of time it was recommended that the player escalate the matter to the relevant licensing authority. The player stopped responding, so the complaint was eventually rejected.

I am a customer for 3 years


They locked my account due to verification, I sent the files, and now it's been 2 months



They did not open the account despite my account being documented and the investigation was done previously



I send them emails saying that this is a routine procedure, the investigation takes a lot and does not take more than 3 days to a week


Why do they suspend the account when I did nothing even though you are a VIP member?


((Your account has been temporarily restricted. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we are working hard to make sure we can lift these restrictions as soon as possible.))

Dear Mutairi33,


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

Could you please explain if there is any balance on your casino account that is currently withheld? Do I understand correctly, your account is blocked for two months already?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello Mutairi33,


Thank you for the additional information. It can take some time to perform checks on documents, we should allow the casino a bit longer and wait for them to contact you.


If there is still no reply when the timer expires I will contact them again.

Salvation, I do not want my account, I hated them and hated their site

Public
Public

Bad site, I don't know why there is no censorship on them, they are laying off and having fun


Everyone complains about them closing accounts in their mood and being unable to send the ID even though the account is already documented


The evaluation is bad and customers are complaining about them on the site trustpilot.com


I feel sorry for the sums that I wasted with them to raise my VIP membership, but the treatment is not respectful, even the regular member was not deliberately treated in other sites

My account is documented and all the data you have and sent it a long time ago, and my account is supposed to be opened at its time, and not for a period of 6 months. My account has not yet been opened.


If you think that you are drugging people by sending comments that have no benefit or immediate follow-up, this is negligence against people.


Finally, my account is not supposed to be suspended. You do not have the right to suspend the account only because of its mood

This is the support response now to the mail


My name is Kristian, Member VIP Support Representative and I hope that my email finds you well.


As part of 888’s commitment to providing you with a safe, fun, and secure gaming environment, on 27 January, we have temporarily suspended VIP customer activity in your region.


We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause but rest assured that we are working quickly and diligently to review accounts and ensure all best practices have been adhered to.


During this process, withdrawals, deposits, and game play will not be allowed. We intend to lift all restrictions as soon as the necessary checks have been completed. We will keep you updated about the status of your account and to expedite this process, if we have requested any documentation, we appreciate if you send it as soon as possible.


Your account remains safe and secure and we kindly ask that you refrain from opening any new account as it will be subject to the same restrictions.


Thank you for your understanding.


Kind regards,

Dear Mutairi33,


Thank you for the update regarding the account suspension.


I appreciate your frustration at how long this is taking, but please understand that there are many reasons that the casino may wish to do this.

It seems that we will not be able to obtain any further insight into the situation, and there is no way to know how long these checks may continue. Therefore, I would like to suggest that you submit a complaint to the Malta Gaming Authority (https://www.mga.org.mt/player-hub/lodge-a-complaint/). The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players.


Once you have done so, please let me know how they respond (adam.m@casino.guru). I will then close the complaint temporarily while we await a decision from them. Once the outcome is known, we can reopen the complaint and proceed accordingly.


Kind regards,

Adam

Hi

Hello, they asked for proof of address yesterday, and I sent the ID card. What next? I did not receive an email and the account was not opened.


I said earlier that my account is verified and that I sent all the data after the account was suspended. Why is the request again?

Dear Mutairi33,


As the casino is unable to provide a timeframe, I would like to ask you how you would prefer to proceed.

We can keep extending the timer and keep the complaint open until there is some progress, or you can contact the licensing authority and we can close the complaint temporarily while they investigate the situation. Please let me know what you would like to do.

Dear Mutairi33,


As we are not able to obtain any information regarding the reason for blocking your account, we are unable to make a reasonable assessment of this case. As mentioned, there are two options available - we can either continue to wait and extend the timer for a number of weeks, or you can submit a complaint to the casino's regulator.


Please let me know your thoughts about how you wish to proceed.


Kind regards,

Adam

As mentioned, without the ability to obtain more information about this case, the best option is for you to escalate your complaint to the licensing authority. Please let me know if you wish to do so.
