RESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Portugal had repeatedly requested account closure since January 31st due to gambling addiction but had not received adequate responses from support. Despite these requests, the account remained open, and he had deposited approximately 1000 euros since then. Following the intervention of the Complaints Team, the casino conducted an investigation and ultimately refunded the player the amount in question. The issue was marked as resolved in the system.

Hello. Since January 31st, I have been sending emails to the support account requesting, PLEASE, that they close my account due to gambling addiction.

They do not respond or are evasive in their replies.

Since that day, I have already deposited approximately 1000 euros due to addiction, which I lost.

They don't close my account, and I am afraid of continuing to spend my money.

Please help me.

Dear playerfromportugalmn,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the 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 the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problems).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is dominika.l@casino.guru.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Dominika

it wasn't until the seventh email (10 days after I asked for it to be closed) that they got back to me!

Just do the math on my deposits between January 31st and their reply... that's the amount I want refunded (the account is still open!)

... even after I asked them over and over again in the live chat, even after I threatened to go to the casino guru... they always ignored me, and my losses were high...

My account was closed about a week ago. I can't access the account now to see the deposits I've made, but the casino has this detailed information. Is it possible to ask them?

Dear Bankonbet Casino,

Have you had a chance to review the player’s issue? Could you kindly provide an explanation as to why the player’s self-exclusion was delayed for almost two weeks?

Dear playerfromportugalmn,

I wanted to inform you that I have escalated this matter directly to the casino representative via an external channel. They apparently need a little more time to conclude the investigation into what happened and what caused the delay in applying your self-exclusion. I’m confident the casino will provide a response soon.

Additionally, could you please provide proof of the deposits made to the casino between January 31 and February 12? This can be in the form of screenshots from your internet/mobile banking or a bank statement where all transactions to Bankonbet Casino are visible. Please send the proof to my email at jakub.m@casino.guru.


Thank you.


Dear Bankonbet Casino,

I’m reiterating the request for an update regarding the situation with the player’s self-exclusion, which was delayed and caused significant losses during this period. Have you already completed the investigation? What are the results? Please provide an update as soon as possible.


Thank you.

Thank you for your attention.

I'll provide you with everything you need, but it's difficult for me to obtain this proof, since all I have on my bank statement is the reference. Can't you ask the casino for a list of the deposits I've made in the last two weeks? Because I suspect that the amount is even higher than 1000eur.


Thank you
