Hello,evereone! I have an unpleasant situation on 888poker..I regularly play there at nl500-nl1000 cash tables under the nickname Rammste1n.I'm from Russia.Having won back the month of February amazingly (pokerstars threw a good challenge with 40% rakeback) + a successful game on 888, at the end of the month, against the background of fatigue and an external negative background that does not contribute to the game, it was decided to take a break from the game for a while.All through March I had to deal with the solution of near-poker issues and personal matters.But March 8 , around midnight I've seen the news https://forum .gipsyteam.ru/index.php?viewtopic=70704&view=findpost&p=7214023 it is at one o'clock in the morning On March 9, skrill will suspend work in Russia, at that time I had about 20 thousand dollars on my skrill.It was decided to make deposits the money around the rooms I played, the lion's share of which came to 888 about 15 thousand dollars (I made a deposit in several times), since this was my 2nd main gaming room (the main Pokerstars, which by that time had already announced its departure from Russia).Therefore, it is logical that 888 became number 1 in the list of rooms I played.For many years of playing on 888, I have never had any problems, no controversial issues with them, all payments have always come +/- the time allotted for this.I assumed that even if they, like Pokerstars, officially suspend their work in Russia, they will continue to accept players from Russia and Belarus, an example is such gray jurisdictions on 888 as Poland and Hungary, which simply play without flags.But already on the morning of March 10 in the telegram channels and on gipsyteam.ru https://forum .gipsyteam.ru/index.php?viewtopic=1647&view=findpost&p=7217162 I saw the news that they are leaving Russia after all.Therefore, in a hurry, I had to make a deposit 15 $ to Muchbetter and did withdrawal to my Muchbetter,because since the only working method for withdrawal was only Muchbetter (they had already removed the skrill by that time). The maximum monthly withdrawal limit was 30 thousand dollars, which were put up for withdrawal on 10.03.In the evening, I received a refutation and an apology that 888 still does not leave the market of Russia and Belarus, but after thinking about it, I decided not to cancel the withdrawal of funds and leave about $ 3,700 to play on 888, and leave the rest on the Muchbetter wallet and, if necessary, deposit from there. But then everything changed quickly again, and the official news appeared that 888 was still leaving the Russian market.Therefore, I had to write to chat 888 with a request to increase the monthly withdrawal limit by the amount remaining in my account.

13.03. the status of the first withdrawal of funds from the pending process changed to in the process, and there was hope that my $ would soon be credited to my account, but on 16.03 a message came to my email that they transferred the remaining amount (about $ 3,700) to the withdrawal with the second withdrawal, and along with the status of the first withdrawal changed again to a pending process.Then, on 17.03, their operational team sent me an email with a temporary account lock and a request to explain why I played an extremely small number of hands after I made deposits and put $ on withdrawal, To which I replied:



Hi!I wasn't going to withdraw my funds, I wanted to continue playing in your room and wanted to make it the main one for the game after pokerstars left Russia, but on March 10 I saw the news that you were also leaving Russia, so I put my funds on withdrawal.



And since 10.03 I have been waiting for two withdrawals totaling 33700$ , I communicate with them daily via chat, but I still can't get specifics from them about what is required of me and what is wrong.I've already forwarded them my documents and print screen of my Muchbetter, but the who is still there.Meanwhile, it is already March 26, and for some reason they suddenly decided to set a time frame for us and on the 31st they are going to close the accounts of Russians before their possible return to the market, and, of course, there is no guarantee that they will return at all.Move to another country and send them your documents with a new address, how easy it can be done on Pokerstars, they also do not allow, when you move you will need to open a new account, but they will not transfer money there from the old one.?I wrote to the official representative of 888 https://www.gipsyteam.ru/profile/888 on gipsyteam.ru But he's from Ukraine, and given the circumstances, I'm not sure he has the opportunity to help me now.I wrote to him the day before yesterday in my personal account, and unsubscribed in the subject https://forum .gipsyteam.ru/index.php?viewtopic=1647&view=findpost&p=7237963, but he never answered in the wrong place, not there.Correspondence with the 888 support service via letters and live chat is slow and does not bring any productivity.I created a public theme https://forum .gipsyteam.ru/index.php?viewtopic=167273 on the most popular poker forum in the former CIS gipsyteam.ru for public coverage of the solution of my question.

Actually by the blocking itself: I wasn't going to withdraw my funds and wanted to continue playing on 888, and if they hadn't left the market, I wouldn't have any problems with wagering due to the limits I played, but if they incur any losses for my deposits and withdrawals without wagering, I'm ready pay them their commission paid by skrill for my deposits.Otherwise, I still had no opportunity to win back the deposit.

My 888 and Muchbetter accounts have been verified, I have already re-sent them my driver's license and a screenshot with the personal information of my Muchbetter wallet.
I will be very grateful to you for the prompt solution of this issue!!

Thanks for explaining the situation in such detail. Its very clear now what happened.

Good luck in resolving your matters.

Thanks!But from the fact that it's not my fault that I got into such circumstances, I'm not calmer, because as I said earlier, 888 restricted the withdrawal of money for Russians from March 31, and with the pace at which their operation team works , I 'm not sure that they will figure out the situation before March 31, since they they have been processing my withdrawals since 10.03 . And if they do not have time to process them by this deadline, no one guarantees that they will pay me my money after this deadline.If they didn't set such a stupid time frame and worked quickly, I wouldn't worry about it at all and would calmly wait.

You left the link to gipsyteam forum, but you forgot to say that this KGB and nazi site closed itself from whole world, except Russian IP-addresses because they want to block any truth, especially about your invasion to Ukraine. So nobody can't open your stupid links.

This site personifies the whole of Russia and its rotten essence.
They don't care about poker, truth, honor, players.

The sole purpose of the site is to generate income. The site has no rules, and they will suffocate anyone who gets in the way. It doesn't matter who you are, if they lose one ruble because of you, they will block you. The income machine must work. Everything rests on enthusiasts and authors, blogs, whose information and goodwill are vilely monetized by a bunch of greedy owners who imagine themselves to be gods.
Any creative, progressive, investigative activity is immediately cut down. With a herd reflex on this site, a liar and a fraudster will be elevated, and an honest one will be humiliated, slandered and blocked. I wish them oblivion(and you also).

Soon it will be the end of your Russian empire of evil, poverty, lawlessness and humilation, as well as your small copy of KGB fascistic PidoRussia called Gipsyteam.

888 has made it clear they will withold any funds from Russia accounts and should become available for them upon 888 resuming their services in the region. There is no timeline. It's all depending on how long the Russia-Ukraine war will lasts.

E-mail Putin and ask him to force them to pay you in ruble !!!!

How is this funny to you ?? If you can't help or be of any assistance don't ridicule people! He is just a player he has nothing to do with this damn war by this lunatic.

Well he voted that man to lead the scum of the earth called russia. So happy about ops situation and hopefully we will see more of this in the future. Ignore you go have a lovely day.

You were there to see whom he voted for??? Assumption is a disease... Stop hating on people without reasons.


Life is short spread love not hate and war.

Any updates on the funds?

Yes, the bigotry of late against Russians really is disgusting.
Those of that ilk need not wonder if they would have been for the seizing of all belongings and the internment of Japanese Canadians and Americans during WWII.
