The player's self-exclusion failed as his account is still open. We rejected the complaint because the player stopped responding.
Hello casino guru,
I have contacted the casino multiple times about my gambling addiction but they don't care.
I have tried multiple times to have my account blocked but they just don't want it.
Please tell them immediately to block my account and send me a transaction list of my deposits and withdrawals.
If my losses are not refunded, I will file a lawsuit against the casino. I have already done this at several casinos that do not have a German license.
It's unbelievable that despite several emails and chats, my account just stays open and I can happily continue to deposit.
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Bet7 Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise when exactly did you request for self exclusion for the first time? How fast after your request did you deposit? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
Please note that processing such request may take up from 1-4 days depending on which day did you request it as it might take longer before the weekends.
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick
I don't know exactly if I lost any money afterwards, it was Thursday at 12:30, so 48 hours ago, but after that I contacted the chat several times because of the blocking. Actually, they should have the function to block my account immediately. But nothing happened.
I'll get the money back anyway through legal action because the casino doesn't have a German license.
All I care about is that my account gets blocked and I get a list of my deposits and withdrawals, but no one is responding.
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
Can you please advise if your account is already blocked and if yes, since when exactly?
You have to keep in mind that it is up to you whether you register in a casino or not. If the casino allows German players, it is purely your decision to register there. You could have seen it from the beginning that they do not have a German license so it can't be used as an excuse.
Also the self exclusion request is usually processed within 1-4 days (depending on when did you request it).
This is not true, I have sued and won against several casinos so far and can provide evidence of this if required.
Curacao casinos are obliged not to accept German players at all.
But that's not my point.
Yes, my account has finally been blocked.
But I still want a transaction list from the casino.
I have not yet received an answer to this.
I think they deliberately ignore it, even if they are obligated to do so.
I am only concerned with the lists under the Data Protection Act.
they should give me confirmation that my privacy request will be processed within 30 days of my request.
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
Do you mean your deposit and withdrawal transactions within your casino account?
Correct, that would be enough for me, they are required by law to do this and I have the problem with several Curacao casinos that they are not sent to me, just like here
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
Can you please advise when exactly did you request for the account information? Was it more than 30 days ago?
It was 01/28/2023, and after that I asked several times when I can expect it, but never received an answer. I don't think they care
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
As they are still within the 30 day period, we can hardy do anything with it. Once it will take more than the given time period, we may try to intervene. Until then the complaint timer will be set on you and please let us know in case of any update.
The 30-day period ends on Monday, February 27th, but nothing will happen until then anyway, but we'll wait and see
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
Can you please advise if the casino forwarded you the requested information?
No, still haven't received a transaction list and no reply either
Thank you gamblingaddict1994 for the information provided. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Tomas (tomas.k@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.
Wish you best luck resolving it.

Nick
Hello gamblingaddict1994,
I have reviewed your case and will contact the casino to see if I can help.
We would like to invite Bet7 Casino to join the conversation and participate in the resolution of this complaint.
Dear Bet7 Casino,
Can you please confirm if you have received a request from the player about the transaction history list?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Tomas
We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.
Dear gamblingaddict1994,
The requested information about the all the transactions \ betting history, like it was told to you before, is always available in your player platform.
The account was closed in 28/01/2023 since we recived a self exclusion request by email from you on the same day.
Any more clarifications, please let us know.
Best Regards

You are obliged to send me this by email, the licensor has also confirmed to me and no, the account was not closed immediately, tell the truth, so send me the transaction history in accordance with DSVGO by email now.
Dear Bet7 Casino,
Could you please explain how the player should get the transaction history when his account is already closed?
Are you able to provide the player with this document via email, as he has requested?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Tomas
Dear gamblingaddict1994,
Your account was reopened in order to see your transaction history.
You can search for any transaction by clicking in "History" than "Transactions" and select tha dates you want to check.
Any more clarifications, please let us know.

Are you legally obliged to send me something like this by email? Do you have no idea about GDPR?
Just because I want to file a lawsuit against you, you can't keep me from doing so.
Send me this now finally by mail.
Dear Bet7 Casino,
Could you please state if you are able to provide the player with the requested document via email? Is there any reason why you prefer the player to check the history by himself instead of sending it manually via email to him?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Tomas
Dear Tomás
Regarding the player's self exclusion request, the account was closed ( 28\1\2023 ) within the legal timeframe, it was reopened only for the purpose of getting access to statistics that the player requested before, but is fully limited for deposits, withdrawals and bets.
Would you be so kind as to explain why you say that the self exclusion failed?
Also our policy of not sharing internal financial information is pretty obvious,due to security reasons and the data protection involved, with all the entities evolved.
The way this data is presented on our side involves a print screen of a page for every single deposit or withdrawal, on the player's account it can be seen only in one page.
We cannot access the player's personal account otherwise we could provide the screenshot the player asks
That's why we give access to the user to have his own logs \ transactions \ ect always available at any moment, to avoid manual process to the Bet7 teams, sure you understand , in a universe of thousands of players.
Therefore, and with all the issues revised and assured, we give this claim as resolved.
Best Regards

My account was only closed 4 days later, but that's not the point for me, it's about the fact that GDPR says that all data that the casino has from you must be sent to you by email in a legible format, but they have that Curacao casinos apparently never heard of it
Dear gamblingaddict1994,
Upon reviewing this case with my team, we believe that the casino has tried to cooperate and help you resolve the issue. Even though we think you were indeed eligible to ask for transaction history via email, however, the casino came up with a solution and let you access your account (limited to deposits/withdrawals/bets) and check the transaction history yourself.
On this occasion, we cannot seek this complaint as unresolved, and I can only recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (http://www.gaming-curacao.com/) and submit a complaint to them.
Please let me know if you decide to do so. Otherwise, the complaint will be rejected.
Thank you both for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Tomas
Yes, I will take legal action against the provider anyway and also file a complaint with the licensor, since the data protection requests are not dealt with legally here.
You can close the complaint, it is better to settle it in court and through the licensor
Dear gamblingaddict1994,
Could you please update us once you file a complaint to the Curacao Gaming Authority? So I can close this complaint accordingly.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Tomas
