888 Casino IT - Ο λογαριασμός του παίκτη έχει κλείσει.

Greetings ,

My game account was blocked on August 9, 2024.

This was their last communication:

"

Dear Gianmarco,

We are writing to you on behalf of the 888.it Operations Team regarding your account with the username "OmgGambler".

We have previously contacted you regarding the use of certain prohibited software such as Seating Aids/Scripts or similar software in relation to your account and have informed you that this is not permitted on our gaming platform and constitutes a breach of our User Agreement.

Despite such warnings, there are clear signs that the use of such software continues.

We inform you that due to your activity against our terms and conditions, your gaming account has been suspended. This suspension will be reviewed in 1 month.

We take this type of activity very seriously, thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Operations Department

"

I have not had any further communications from them, and the 180 days have now passed. I understand that the gaming account could be blocked but I would just like to get my funds back.

Thank you in advance.

Dear GiammiC,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

Could you please advise what types of games you played?

Have you used any software, scripts, programs, or extensions while you were playing at the casino?

Did you accumulate your winnings with or without a bonus?

Have you made any successful withdrawals from this casino?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello Veronika,

I answer all questions.

1) I have only played poker, on the 888poker.it website.

2)Yes, I have used some programs that did not affect the 888 site, but other platforms, while I was also playing on the 888 platform.

3)I did not receive any bonuses on my winnings.

4)I have always withdrawn from 888 in the past.

Ciao Veronika ,

rispondo a tutte le domande .

1) Ho giocato solamente al poker , sul sito 888poker.it .

2)Si , ho utilizzato dei programmi che però non hanno inciso sul sito 888, ma su altre piattaforme , mentre giocavo anche sulla piattaforma 888.

3)Non ho avuto dei bonus sulle vincite.

4)In passato ho sempre prelevato da 888.

Could you please specify which programs you used and explain their purpose in relation to your playing at an online casino?

I used a tracking program (Hand2Note), which all the professionals use, to save poker hands.

So no use of prohibited software for 888.

Furthermore, there is no confiscation in Italian law, so I don't understand why after so many months they continue not to respond.

Ho utilizzato un programma di tracking (Hand2Note) , che utilizzano tutti i professionisti , per salvare le mani di poker .

Per cui nessun utilizzo di software proibito per 888.

Inoltre non esiste la confisca nella legge italiana per cui non capisco perchè dopo tanti mesi continuino a non rispondere .

I have checked the Terms and Conditions of 888 Casino and this is what I found regarding poker software aids:

Software Aids: Please note that in relation to any peer-to-peer games or any other games, you may not use any tools or software other than:

(i) tools that provide you with basic game statistics and information that could be useful to beginners, such as hand strength and pot odds indication,

(ii) tools which provide you with basic-level advice about the game such as opening hand charts,

(iii) tracking software that calculates and displays in-game statistics which are intended to help you organise the information that he already has access to as a player at that specific table, and

(iv) tools that improve your experience without influencing the game itself or providing any advice (for example enhanced display, keyboard shortcuts and improved visibility), (collectively 'Permitted Aids'). For the avoidance of doubt, section (iv) shall not include any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table.

You may not use any software program, robot or external aid, which is endowed with artificial intelligence or which is not included in the Permitted Aids list (as set out above) (regardless of whether you are actually using the Software). Examples of such prohibited tools, software and external aids are:

(i) tools and services that allow for any type of collusion between players, such as showing cards,

(ii) tools that assist players to select games in accordance with player identity,

(iii) tools or websites that reveal and share information about other players against their will, such as game statistics and overall earnings,

(iv) any type of tool that performs any action on behalf of a player at the table,

(v) any tool or program that collects information about other players at the tables in the player’s absence,

(vi) any tool or program that provides game advice in real time based on the actions of the other players at the table; or

(vii) any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table (collectively "Software Aids"). In the event that we deem that any Software Aid has been used, we reserve the right to take any action we see fit, including immediately blocking access to the Services to the offending user, terminating such user's account and seizing all monies held in such account.

Could you please tell me if the software you've been using has any of the features that are prohibited by the terms and conditions?

On 888 I have never used software of this kind, except those permitted.

Su 888 non ho mai utilizzato software di questo genere , se non quelli consentiti.

In the email you received from the casino, customer support mentions that they previously contacted you regarding the use of prohibited software and warned you to stop using it. Could you please forward me the messages you received from the casino regarding this issue along with your replies? My email address is [email protected]. Thank you for your cooperation.

I have now transmitted.

Ho trasmesso ora.

Thank you very much, GiammiC, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Stefan ([email protected]) who will be at your service. However, I would like to warn you that it seems to be a common practice of 888 Casino IT to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Regardless of many unresolved complaints marked "No Reaction Policy", we keep on trying.

Okay thanks.

Va bene grazie.
