Hello,
On July 16, 2024, I sent an email requesting self-exclusion due to gambling addiction. On July 19, 2024, I received a reply stating that additional documents (ID, proof of address, etc.) were required for processing the request. Is that really necessary for a self-exclusion? I don't understand the purpose behind this when I want to close my account, especially because of gambling addiction.
I then uploaded the documents.
This was again confirmed in writing to me on August 4, 2024:
"Thank you for your participation in the account security procedure.
Your documents have been received and reviewed."
However, my account remained open and I incurred numerous losses due to my gambling addiction.
On August 17, 2024, I referred again via email to my initial self-exclusion request from July 16, 2024, forwarded it, and wrote again:
"Hello,
I would like to return to my email below and request that my account be immediately and permanently closed due to gambling addiction. I want it to be impossible for me to access my account at any time. The exclusion should be permanent.
You have received all my documents.
I request a prompt confirmation. Thank you."
On August 19, 2024, I then received confirmation, but only for a 30-day exclusion
On the same day, I replied:
"Hello,
I clearly stated that my account should be permanently closed, not just for 30 days!
Please implement this! I request confirmation."
I received no response and wrote again on August 26, 2024:
"Hello,
I am still waiting for confirmation that my account is permanently closed.
My account should be permanently closed!"
Again, no one contacted me.
On September 2, 2024, I wrote again via email:
"Dear Sir or Madam,
I still have no confirmation that my account is permanently closed!
A 30-day exclusion is not desired. I want a permanent exclusion for my accounts!
I request a prompt response."
Again, I received NO response.
On September 23, I requested self-exclusion via email once more.
And here comes the huge insolence. Instead of closing my account, I have received numerous gifts and offers via email and SMS, to further profit from my gambling addiction.
On October 7, I received confirmation for a 90-day exclusion. Again, no permanent closure!
On the same day, I replied:
"Why is my account not being permanently closed again?
I clearly stated that the closure should be permanent.
I request a prompt reply and confirmation that my account will be permanently closed."
And again, I have received no response to this day.
From my perspective, this cannot be legal, and I would like to request at least my losses back from August 4, 2024, onwards (1,052.37 €).
If the self-exclusion is valid from July 16, 2024, an additional 522.30 € would be added.
I have attached the correspondence as proof.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards

Dear nobet,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with 1Bet Casino.
We believe that after you inform the casino about a gambling problem the casino should act to prevent you from gambling within a reasonable time by blocking your account.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation.
- Do I understand correctly you made deposits in the casino after the casino responded on 19th of July?
- Could you please share the casino's reply from that date as well? My email is tomas@casino.guru
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Tomas

Hello,
thank you for the quick response.
That's right. Several deposits were made after July 19th.
Because of my gambling addiction, numerous deposits were made on July 30th, August 5th, August 14th, August 15th, August 19th, October 3rd and 4th.
I have attached the email about supposedly missing documents from July 19th to my email to you.
On August 4, I received written confirmation that the documents were complete and had been checked.
Best regards
