AdmiralBet Casino - Player’s account has been closed after delays.

On December 2nd, I requested the permanent closure of my account. After waiting a day, they offered me a bonus, which I accepted, leaving the account active. Two days later, on December 5th, I requested the permanent closure of my account again. After my request, they asked for the reason for closing the account. I told them I was satisfied with the service they provide and hoped they would close the account. However, it took them six days to fulfill the request, during which time they waited until I spent more money. After six days and five consecutive emails, they responded and closed the account, exploiting the situation for additional deposits. Only after I warned them of potential legal action did they comply with my request. Through this complaint, I want to highlight how they disregard their responsible gambling policy, taking every opportunity to extract more money from you. My demand is clear: the refund of all funds deposited after December 5th.

Hello uskok,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Could you please advise what reason you have given when requesting to block your account?

Please, let me explain you what the difference between closing the account and self-exclusion is:

Some casinos use lots of tools for responsible gambling and I would not mention them here. What players can do if they’re unhappy in the casino: Close the account or self-exclude themselves, those are the two basic choices.

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen account anytime, and casino has no obligation to the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problem).

In the case of self-exclusion, if casino failed in this, player may ask for a refund.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Nick

Due to the increased volume of complaints during this time of year, we kindly request your patience while awaiting our responses. We aim to publish each complaint within 48 hours of submission but reserve up to 7 days to reply to any subsequent comments. Additionally, please be aware that it might take a bit longer for your complaint to be assigned to a resolver, as we are currently managing over 900 complaints.

Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Wishing you a delightful holiday season, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Dear Uskok,

As mentioned in my previous post, closing an account and self-exclusion are two distinct actions. If you did not explicitly mention gambling issues or addiction, your account would have been simply closed, which means it can be reopened at any time.

Please forward the initial request you sent to the casino, where gambling issues were mentioned, to nikolas.b@casino.guru for further review.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Nick
