REJECTED

Case summary

9 months ago

The player from the United Kingdom had won £3,000, but his account had been blocked after he attempted to withdraw £500. The casino had requested a Gamstop registration certificate, even though the player had already been removed from Gamstop. Despite him providing evidence of his Gamstop removal, the casino still refused to unfreeze his account. We had asked the player for further information and extended the response time, but unfortunately, the player did not respond to our queries. As a result, we had been unable to proceed with the investigation or provide any potential solutions, which led to the rejection of the complaint.

Dear dannybarter,

Thank you for submitting your complaint, and I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're facing. In the past, we have handled GAMSTOP-related cases, but we have received guidance suggesting that it is best for players to directly contact GAMSTOP. Regrettably, we are not privy to the specific procedures and methods GAMSTOP employs to verify eligibility for refunds among registered users. While we have our own self-exclusion procedures, GAMSTOP operates independently and employs its own set of criteria, which we are not acquainted with. Consequently, it is beyond our ability to assess such cases.

If there are any further developments regarding your case in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me at petronela.k@casino.guru, and I will update this thread accordingly. Once again, I wish we could offer more assistance.

Kindly inform me of your preferred course of action.

Best regards,

Petronela

Dear Danny, 

 

Thanks for your email. 

 

You'll need to discuss this with the gambling company directly as GAMSTOP are unable to assist when the exclusion is not as a result of a GAMSTOP registration.

 

Best wishes,

 

GAMSTOP

Hi dannybarter,

  • Can you kindly provide a copy of your expired Gamstop registration?
  • Have you previously notified the casino about the potential for gambling problems, and was your account directly self-excluded within this casino?
  • Did the casino inform you about any ongoing refund process, or did they solely block your account, void the winnings, and forfeit the deposited funds?

If there's any relevant communication please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

Thank you.
