Warning, this is a very long post, due to me copying and pasting the email exchanges to show what dealing with 888 reducing my account balance to zero with no email, no warning, no explanation was like.....
I had an account at 888. There have been changes in germany, where I live, in the gambling laws. I did not really know what this meant, as I play mainly stars, but also BCP and 888. I could not log in to my account at 888, and wasnt all that worried. Then I re-downloaded and installed the SW, logged in and my account was at $0.
I asked in the 888 support thread, and was not well supported, in my opinion. I would like to link this post to the 888 support thread as well, but I will wait for a MOD to tell me if that is cool or not. The support was not all that bad, but not all that great either.
I contacted 888 and got a response that I had to open a German account and had to verify myself etc, and I asked if I could just withdraw my funds. I am copying and pasting their reponse below with 2.)****. I sent them my bank details and asked if I need to send a copy of my passport and got this response below marked 1.)****
Basically, they seem to be screwing me out of my funds. I never got an email about the change in policy, my account was still active (until they deleted it, when I requested to withdraw my funds) and my account balance was reduced to zero. I did NOT have a year of dormancy, which can cause this. I normally do not ever write posts like this, but 888 went from a cool room to a scam. I can see no other reason for them to treat me like this. All I want are my funds, and they don't address that at all......
Below are the email exchanges. The second response is listed first below, and the initial email exchange is at the bottom, the mails chronologically go from bottom to top, most recent emails are at the top so it kinda goes backward.....

Dear ****
Thank you for your message.
My name is Rouven P. I was very happy to review your request.
Firstly, I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Here at 888 we have strict security regulations and must comply with all requirements of the licensing authorities.
****, due to the new gambling laws in Germany, your account has been migrated. To transfer the balance of 46.06$ from your old account to the new one, please verify your player account.
Please note that the account verification for all members from Germany is done via Schufa and cannot be influenced by us. Furthermore, only one account per member is allowed at 888.de.
Schufa has not been able to verify your account so far. Unfortunately, we do not have any information as to why the account verification failed.
As your details could not be verified so far, we are unfortunately not allowed to grant you access.
****, in order to move forward at this point, I recommend that you contact Schufa directly at www.meineschufa.de and request a self-disclosure of the data available there.
This way you can judge for yourself where the underlying difference lies. It is possible that you are registered with a different address.
Please check your details and change them if necessary (up to 5 times possible) so that a new request can be made to Schufa.
Only if your registered data is confirmed by Schufa, the restrictions on your account can be lifted. This must be done within 30 days, if this could not be done within this period, your account will be deleted. Please also see our user agreements: https://www.888.de/sicherheit-datenschutz/nutzungsvereinbarung/
****, if you have any further questions or require any information, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to assist you.
