Well guess what, 888-poker has done the same thing to me
I was expecting it though, I've been a peon for their gimmicks for 3.5 years.
The first year I enjoyed taking money out when I won big
The last 2.5 years I've had all my money withdrawals declined
So I decided that that it didn't make sense having a sports betting and poker site account that I couldn't extract money from time to time. So when I couldn't take money out over the last 2.5 years I decided to close the account with $72.72us still in it. In that period of time I achieved level 121.
I spent over $2,000 on their site and maybe pulled $500. the first year.
They have 50 ways to fund an account and no way to take your money out.
They will scam your money
Stay away

888 a total scam
Good luck trying to withdrawing your money
Small wonder their share price is down more than 50% in the last 5 months
ONE TOTAL SCAM
STAY AWAY

With basically no details, I'm having a little trouble believing that 888 is running some kind of scam that required back-and-forths with you over 2.5 years just to steal your $72.72. That's a money-losing venture for them.

Do you have any more details to share? How many times did you attempt to withdraw, why did they deny you, etc.

Some general points here:
-You should keep records of all your communication with the operator.

-You should proof read what you write to them (and post on this forum) before sending/posting it. Make sure that a stranger can understand what you are saying. Imagine that you're writing to someone who is smarter than you, but who knows nothing about the issue at hand.

-In the first instance, if you are unhappy with their initial decision, contact them directly, and let them know why.

-If, after directly explaining your point of view, you continue to have a dispute, ask for the issue to be escalated for re-review.

-Many legitimate gaming operators have licenses from Governments where they "operate". In the case of many online operators, the jurisdiction that they "operate" in are where their servers are located. If you continue to be unhappy, you can approach the regulator with your concerns. You can obtain the contact details either by searching on the internet, or by asking the gaming site to give them to you.

-If the regulator is not an option, or does not satisfactorily resolve your concern, you may be able to consider taking legal action. Please consult a professional legal adviser for further assistance with this.

-You'll get more sympathy from the forum if you post - clearly - a copy of all correspondence with the site.

If this thread was bumped annually instead of every 2-4 years with fresh 1 post randos that vanish then maybe it could eventually be a variant of the Pokerstars bonus thread.
