Dear Tomas,
The reason for self exclusion, as I said, was due to both factors, Gambling addiction and Unhappiness with the Service. Obviously, main reason was Gambling addiction, i actively tried to get my account excluded, I didn't send only 1 or 2 emails, or made only 1 or 2 requests, i sent dozens of request both through chat and through email, i provided my ID, i provided all the information they requested, and they still didnt block my account.
When you are in the position that I was at the time, it's not easy to own up to your addiction, and the fact that I asked over 10+ times to close my account, it's pretty obvious what I was going through and what was going on.
I will ask for your attention to the email on the 30th of June of 2023, I asked in the chat support, to block my account , due to problems with the game. Again I was forwarded to their email like always and I clearly said in the email " If once again, you do not obey my Self exclusion request, I will report BetandYou. I would like to exclude my account for the highest amount of time possible "
To which BetandYou replied " Do you have problems with the account/Game , or is the motive of the exclusion related to the quality of the service? "
And I replied " Its related to both. Please proceed with the block. Thank you. "
Apparently, I can no longer access the customer support chat from June 2023, it doesn't let me go before the 20th of October 2023. Which is pretty weird, because a few weeks ago, I was able to browse the whole history of my chat in 2023. Putting aside the fact that I can no longer check my history from over 9 months ago, which I could do just a few weeks ago, I decided to browse through all my Chat, since I know I have actively tried to get my account blocked and, even though it was really hard for me to admit that I had a gambling problem, I know perfectly well, that i explicitly, made the customer service aware of the situation, but unfortunately, BetandYou always aimed to profit of people going through tough times and addictions, instead of actually helping them.
May I grab your immediate attention again, to the 10th of March 2024, when I told customer support the following, " I would like my account to be blocked, to prevent pathological and compulsive gambling."
On the same day and once again, i am redirected to their email, where they do nothing besides delaying your request, and not granting any measures for self exclusion. ( I need to point out that, Any good casino, offers easy and reachable RG measures, most of the times, inside your account, without the need to ask anyone to apply them)
Also note, their reason to fail to block my account, when they knew about my gambling problem was, and i quote, " At the Block Support you were offered to block the account. According to the information we have, you turned down the request. "
This casino, not only failed to block my account for over 1.5 years, they claimed I was the one that rejected the block, which makes no sense, as I sent over 10 emails, and they were the ones that refused to apply any responsible gaming measures, as you can see from the several screenshots i provided. I requested them to show me proof, of any email that I requested a block, and that I supposedly was offered one, to which allegedly i refused, something they failed to provide, as it was a fabricated lie, and an attempt to silence me.
If you take a look at the other Complaints here on CasinoGuru, you will find another complaint of a player, actively trying to get his account blocked and excluded, to no avail. BetAndYou uses this tactic, of profiting of Players with addiction, that have actually tried to get their account excluded and BetandYou did not allow them, in order to maximize their profits with a complete disregard over players rights and safety.
Bear in mind, that this is just 1 of the many things this casino has done, i provided evidence for the other " dirty tactics " the casino does, which is not providing a complaints email, and not refunding players on Void bets over Errors on the platform.
Even though its not my case, i do think, there is no possible excuse, to not block someones account after over 10+ requests. I use other casinos, that allow me to set limits, cool off periods and self exclusion whenever i want, without questions asked and hassle-free. Unlike BetAndYou, that goes above and beyond to make the players life more difficult.
This has been going on for almost 2 years, it's getting very tiring, and very difficult to uphold the little rights we have as as players, but I do thank casino guru for taking the time to try and help me and many other players.
Ps: I will also provide below, their answers to my complaint, which show the complete disregard they give to players. Even with their acknowledgement, they fail to provide anything the player requests.
Best regards,
Duarte
