Complaint Details:
Platform: 888poker
Disputed Amount: $1,000 USD
Issue Summary:
On July 10th, I requested a regular withdrawal of $1,000 USD, which was legitimately won from a tournament. My account has been active for over 5 years.
I am an Argentine citizen who has been living in Brazil for almost 3 years. The withdrawal was delayed because I was requested to update my residency documentation. I provided all requested Brazilian address documents completely.
After waiting several weeks, the withdrawal was rejected and the $1,000 USD was returned to my poker balance. When I tried to withdraw it again, I received an automated email claiming I could not withdraw because I had not played the funds—completely ignoring that this was original tournament winnings.
On August 13th, I submitted the withdrawal request again. Since then, I have received no response to any of my emails. Furthermore, the live chat feature is completely unavailable/blocked for me, leaving me with no way to contact support.
My account is not blocked, but my legitimate $1,000 USD withdrawal has been held for almost two months. I request an urgent manual review to verify my Brazilian documentation, confirm the tournament winnings, and process my payout.
