Money in the poker room is “almost” your money

[Fosterbio]

This will be an anti-advertising for 888, but also for other poker rooms, I honestly won my money, but they didn’t let me withdraw half of the money (about more than 1k dollars) the rooms are not interested in you withdrawing, they are interested in you playing (rake) they could benefit advertising me, like “the guy won over 2k dollars without investing anything.” Just remember... your money in the room is almost your money

Hey man,

Sorry to hear.

What was their reasoning of declining the withdrawal? Did you check their terms and conditions?

Well yeah it's not yours until you withdraw it, a lot of rooms have play through bonuses or similar things... always read the fine print👍

Yes, I agree. I would never let a big amount of money in any poker room, because they can decide one day to block your account and there isn't much you can do.

As for "other poker rooms" then last year one of such places actually let me to withdraw half of the money from 1k without asking anything eventhough mostly my deposits/withdrawals there are nowhere near to such amount ...

... so me estimate they were more than pleased that i left the other amount to waste (which i probably succesfully did) ...

Without more details and without posting email conversations, posts like should not get any credibility. Its basically a spam post.

Me personally i withdrew there many times over the years and apart from long waiting times i never had any issues.

If the account is not verified it is not possible to withdraw even US$10, I have already made several withdrawals of US$300 and US$200 at 888poker without a problem, party poker I have already withdrawn 1k, the complaint I have with 888poker is that they remove me from promotions and bonus, I'm at level 96 , I still play a lot of freerolls on 888poker, I won some $109 tickets I will continue trying to win a big tournament, I hope that when that happens they will allow me to cash out

I understand the poker room needs the docs, but i know 888 try to dificult this. I have problems with this room some time ago too. Today i only put any money in GG if i need. In another rooms who i play freerolls, i don't put any cent.

They didn’t motivate me in any way, they just decided to arrange an extraordinary verification, which, accordingly, I haven’t been able to pass for more than a month

Verification was passed, and I withdrew $100 every week without any problems. But when I won ticket 109, and then PKO 109 took first place $2,334.40 and withdrew 1k, immediately after that they arranged an extraordinary verification

This is another example Why I do not make deposits, They are fast enough to take your money when you make a deposit, but like someone said earlier any money you win is not your money until it is in your hands, and if they decide to block your account, you will not get a penny of it.
This is why I play with Virtual money, Money I have won from freerolls and used to build a bankroll, if they decide to keep it So what, none of the money was mine to begin with, and you cannot lose what you never had.

So your withdrawal request was not denied, but you have to go through an extra verification. Those two things are not quite the same
