Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

2 months ago

The player from Germany had been attempting to permanently close her casino account for 12 weeks without receiving any response or payout. The Complaints Team reviewed the situation and determined that the player did not follow the casino's specified process for self-exclusion, which contributed to the delays in account closure. Despite the player's claims of multiple requests, it was concluded that the necessary self-exclusion request was not sent to the correct email address as outlined in the casino's terms and conditions. Consequently, the complaint was rejected due to not following the correct self-exclusion procedure.

Dear Madam51,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for a self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru.

  • Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Madam51,

Thank you for the forwarded communication.

  • Could you please confirm that you first mentioned a gambling problem as the reason to have your account permanently closed on the 25th of June, and that your account was blocked on the 7th of July?
  • Have you deposited any funds after June 25th?



Thank you.

Hello Madam51,

We would like to update you that due to Petronela, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Petronela has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Petronela will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Hello Madam51,


My name is Michal and I will be assisting you with your case. I hope that together we will come to a successful resolution of your issue.


I would like to request the presence of a representative from the casino in this conversation.


Dear BookofCasino,


Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue and clarify the situation?


Thank you in advance.


Respectfully,


Michal

Dear Michal


Please note that in order for an exclusion request to be accordingly handled it should be properly formatted and sent to the designated e-mail address which is customercare@bookofcasino.net. 


Instead, the customer sent it to support@bookofcasino.net as you can see in the first screenshot. Nevertheless, we complied with his request and closed his account.


Regards,

BookofCasino

Dear BookofCasino,


Do I understand correctly that you have received the first email with information about gambling addiction on the 25th of June?

Dear Michal,


As we previously mentioned, the player sent an email to our support team. However, please note that they are not the ones who handle such requests. In order for this type of request to be processed promptly it should be sent to our designated e-mail address This helps the self-exclusion requests to be kept separated from the high volume of usual support queries and allows our dedicated team to handle them more efficiently.


Regards,

BookofCasino

Hello


To do this you first have to find the correct email address in the confusion and after several unsuccessful attempts to contact them!


You can

a) expect that a request for closure will be made immediately

b) you can unsubscribe completely

c) you are not kept waiting

d) the email is immediately forwarded by support to the right place


I was kept waiting with the knowledge that I had no choice!!!

Dear BookofCasino,


Was the player informed by any means (live chat, email reply) about the correct email address to which the self-exclusion request should be sent?

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 Michal,


The player had an ongoing conversation with our support team via email starting from the 10th of June where the player had a closure request without providing a reason and there were no indications of gambling issues. While this ongoing thread, the player started a new email thread expressing for a first time gambling addiction, however, please note that since the communication is via email, it takes time to be reviewed by the respective team so they acted accordingly and raised the matter internally in order for the account to be closed.


It is important to note that our chat team is available 24/7 and the customer could get in contact with us in order to rectify the matter earlier. In addition, the self-exclusion process is explained in the Terms & Conditions of our website.


Regards,

BookofCasino

Dear Madam51,


From the emails you have provided us, I can see that you have sent emails to all kinds of different email addresses, but I can not find a single instance of a correct self-exclusion request being sent to the email address that needs to be used for this purpose: customercare@bookofcasino.net.


If a casino has certain internal guidelines for submitting self-exclusion requests, those guidelines need to be respected, because, as mentioned by the casino themselves, it makes the whole self-exclusion process faster and more efficient. In this case, your request for self-exclusion and account closure was fulfilled, but the whole process took longer than it should have, due to previously mentioned reasons.


Would you be able to provide us with self-exclusion request email sent to the email address customercare@bookofcasino.net?

Dear Madam51,


I have looked at the terms and conditions of BookofCasino and found the following information:


"3.22.3. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the procedure for Self-Exclusion with the Brand is as follows: If the customer wants to be Self-Excluded from bookofcasino.net, he/she needs to contact us on the following email address: customercare@bookofcasino.net"


If you did not send an email to this email address, I am afraid I will not be able to help you in this case.

So


a) I can't say because I don't have the emails anymore

b) I asked several times and received no information

c) recommend casinos that you probably also pay

d) it is not a casino that is allowed to offer its services in Germany


it is surprising that you find something so quickly under point 3.22.3 now that I have looked through everything


let it be

delete my account


that is not okay


Thanks

Dear Madam51,


The point is, there was a clear process mentioned in the casino's terms and conditions for self-exclusion, which you just did not follow, and that made the whole self-exclusion process longer. I am sorry, but there really is not anything that can be done for you in this case.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
