Case summary

The player from Austria faced issues as his account had been blocked since February 27, 2026, preventing him from accessing it or making a withdrawal of €31,512. He had been unable to contact support due to the blocked account and unsuccessful re-verification attempts. We asked the casino to explain the account closure and provide evidence, but no reply was received despite repeated follow-ups and deadline extensions. As a result, the complaint was closed as unresolved due to the casino’s lack of cooperation.

Ladies and Gentlemen


I played exclusively craps and occasionally slots at the aforementioned casino and adhered to the applicable User Agreements and Terms of Service. On February 27, 2026, my account was blocked, and I have had no access to it since. Communication with 888 has been impossible since then, as support cannot be contacted without an account.


I tried to re-verify my account in order to contact support again, but this attempt was unsuccessful.

A withdrawal from my side was also not possible. €31,512 has since been debited from my 888 account and no longer appears. Contacting 888 remains impossible.

Hello Tomas,


Thank you for your feedback. I have answered your questions below and attached screenshots at the end of the message:


  • I played on account 888 from November 2025 to February 27, 2026. A screenshot of the message regarding the ban is attached. This is how I found out about the ban.


  • A screenshot of the message I receive when trying to log in is attached. When I click "click here" during the failed login attempt (visible in the screenshot), the FAQ page opens, which is also accessible under "Online Help".


  • No, I haven't contacted support because the casino's support cannot be contacted without an active account. Previously existing support email addresses are no longer active. Contacting support via "Message us" through the Help Centre is not possible with a locked account. The "Online Help" section only contains an FAQ.


  • My account balance showed no outstanding bonus targets or bonus credits. At the beginning, I claimed the welcome bonus (€500, if I remember correctly) and have already withdrawn it. Afterwards, I received credits through the cashback system – I'm not sure if these cashback credits are also considered a bonus from you?



Thank you again for your support!


Best regards

Hello FiveBirds,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over this complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will reach out to the casino to gain further insight into this issue and to explore how I might be able to assist.

I would like to invite 888 Casino to join the conversation.



Dear 888 Casino,

I acknowledge that it is standard industry practice for casino management to reserve the right to close player accounts at its discretion. At the same time, I would kindly note that any related financial obligations are expected to be settled accordingly.

Measures such as the confiscation or withholding of player winnings are significant in nature and typically have to be supported by clear and substantiated evidence of a potential breach of the casino’s terms and conditions. At this stage, the specific grounds for such action do not appear to have been communicated to the player, which makes it difficult to consider your actions as justified.

I would therefore appreciate your cooperation in providing clarification and any relevant supporting evidence regarding the potential rule violation or other reasonable justification for your decision, so that the matter may be reviewed independently. Kindly forward the relevant information and evidence to michal.k@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance.

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.

Dear FiveBirds,

It is regrettable that the casino team has not responded to me, especially as we have communicated with them successfully in the past.

We always make every reasonable effort to contact the casino and encourage its participation in resolving a complaint before considering an Unresolved outcome. I will therefore reach out through several additional contacts we have for the casino, and I remain hopeful that this will result in a response.

I will extend the timer by a few additional days to allow the casino team to respond and engage with the complaint. If no reasonable progress is made despite this extension, I will close the complaint as Unresolved, which will negatively affect the casino’s Safety Index rating.

Dear FiveBirds,

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 to escalate your case as per the steps mentioned in the casinos 15. Complaints and Disputes section.

You might find our How to submit a complaint to a regulator | Casino Guru helpful.

Please let me know if they were able to help you at michal.k@casino.guru

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.



Best regards,

Michal
