Safety Index 8.0 High

Case summary

The player from British Columbia requested a withdrawal of $8,125 but was paid only $825, with $7,300 missing and another $800 remaining pending. During a support chat, he answered verification questions, after which his account was logged out and a nearly six-month self-exclusion was applied without his request, preventing him from accessing the remaining winnings. He needed assistance recovering the withheld funds to pay bills. The complaint was marked as resolved after the player confirmed the issue had been addressed. Although the resolution details were not specified, the player expressed no interest in reopening the account and only wanted the funds deposited.

Dear Karna815,

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

I have reviewed the Responsible Gambling Policy of the casino and found the following:

You have the option of self-exclusion on the websites we operate by (i) clicking on the respective self-exclusion logo on the website; or (ii) contacting Member Support at Kontakt@888.se. You also have the option of self-exclusion via www.spelpaus.se, where you can exclude yourself from all licensed gaming companies in Sweden.

To better understand your situation and assist you further, could you please answer the following questions:

  1. Are you sure that you did not accidentally select the self-exclusion option on the website/ the temporary Self-exclusion option in your account, please?
  2. When did you initially request your withdrawal of $8,125?
  3. Can you confirm the exact date when you received the $825 payment?
  4. Were there any notifications or alerts prior to being logged out of your account?

We hope to assist you in resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petra

Hi,

Yes I am 100% sure i didn't click on self execution. I was having conversation with joesphine advisor regarding my withdrawal delay and she asked me do you rely on winnings to pay your bills and i said no and just a sudden account got locked.

I requested a withdrawl of 8125$ on December 16, 2025 and I only received 825$ on december 18, 2025. Rest are in the account

I have attached the screenshot of what email I got plus I have made another account with 888casino and tried to reach their chat support and I told them I never asked to put self execution, actually I didnt even use that word.

On my previous withdrawl from 5250$ I only got 4450$. $800 is still missing to be withdrawn. I have attached that screenshot aswell

So 7300 plus 800 which comes to 8100$
