I have been going round and round and round with them about a bet I placed that won. No strings attached. It won and that's that. Bet value was £750, not huge but not insignificant. They settled the bet and returned £750 without the winnings. Every time I contact them they say 'congrats on the win! I can see it was settled' I then have to explain to them in layman's terms that a winning 750 bet cannot equal 750. Where are the winnings? Eventually, every time, they say they will escalate and to wait 24 hours. So I wait for email and the reply is? 'Congrats on the win! I can see the bet has now been settled'. Dear oh dear.
I don't know WTF to do from here. It's either a straight up scam or endless incompetence.
I hate defending them after how I have ben treated lately, but reality is whenever you have a problem like this on 888 it's incompetence rather than malice. They have a few people who know what they are doing and a whole lot of people who are utterly incompetent. And I could literally come up with page after page of examples to bore you with.
If you still have your VIP contact, message them directly otherwise keep escalating the problem, eventually someone will fix it.
