Case summary

10 months ago

The player from Italy had requested her account to be blocked, but the casino had failed to process her request. She had also experienced issues with her withdrawal request. After numerous interactions with the Complaints Team, she had managed to get her account blocked. However, she was unsure about how to proceed with a refund request. The complaint was closed as 'unresolved' due to the casino's history of non-responsiveness in over 15 cases. The casino later reopened the complaint, stating that they had blocked the player's account after learning about her gambling addiction. The Complaints Team had concluded that the casino had acted appropriately in this case.

hi I have asked many times to be self-excluded (both for chat and for email), as already done for all the other sites but they didn't listen to me.. I didn't have the strength and I played more than 150 dollars... they have a responsible gaming section of the site but they didn't abide by it. a refund would be fair.

Dear misuper505,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your problem.

Please allow me a few questions so I better understand the situation. Could you advise if you requested your account to be blocked on any other occasion other than on January 18th? Have you specified a time period for your block? Is your account still open?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Tomas

yes, I asked in chat to close the account, then to self-exclude for 30 days. they always answered me that it was enough for me not to play for THREE MONTHS and it would close by itself. crazy stuff. and the requests are before the email. yes it is open anyway .I played until yesterday ...then I was asking for a withdrawal and they denied me the one with a card (method of use for the deposit) I only set sepa to 50 ..the chat did not respond and I played nervously everything and deposited until the card was empty.

Dear misuper505,

Would you be able to forward me the replies from the casino and your original request to self-exclude your account? Please forward the evidence to my email at tomas@casino.guru


Also, If your account is still open I would suggest asking for self-exclusion again by following this template:

The email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible. 


Email subject: Self-exclusion

Player’s info:
First name:
Last name:
DOB:
Casino login:
Email address:


"Greetings xxx,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (permanently).

The reason for my decision is xxx (gambling problem)

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Please send another email to block@22bet.com (you can CC me at tomas@casino.guru in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the update, I am glad the casino finally blocked your account. Did you request a refund on your deposits from the casino, due to your previous requests for self-exclusion not being processed?

Dear misuper505,


Unfortunately, I would like to inform you that since this casino has 15+ cases closed as "No Reaction Policy" we are forced to close your complaint as "unresolved". This will affect the overall rating of the casino. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue however, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could change the casino's approach.


Regrettably, it seems to be a common practice of 22bet Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Please check all our previous failed attempts to negotiate.


We have sent numerous emails and tried to communicate with live chat representatives as well as with affiliate team members. Unfortunately, all efforts to resolve any kind of issue have died as the complaints grew in numbers. We strictly recommend staying away from 22bet Casino. I wish I could be of more help.


The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.

Dear misuper505,


I'm sorry, but in this instance, the casino acted appropriately. They promptly closed your account after you informed them of your gambling problem. I must note that some jurisdictions are more proactive and would close an account in a situation like yours based on your behavior. However, it's crucial for players to clearly inform the casino about their problem.


While I may disagree with the casino's account closure policy, in this case, we are in agreement with the casino.
