Hi!
I deposited several hundred euros at Catcasino! Due to my gaming behavior I have also closed this account! Self-exclusion had to be requested several times and was only implemented after the threat of legal action! Now I would like to have my 600 Euro credit paid out! The casino has not responded to my requests for weeks and has now informed me that they will not process my withdrawal because my account has been closed! This casino not only operates illegal gambling (Austria) but disregards all rules of player protection and tries in this way to coerce players to continue playing! Legally and morally bottom drawer, considering that an account was closed due to gambling addiction!

Dear Ares1981,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the responsible gambling policy and I found this:
"Limits
Loss limit allows a player to set the maximum loss limit for selected period. There is always a possibility to change the loss limit, but it takes effect accordingly:
Changing the limit to more restrictive takes effect immediately
Changing the limit to less restrictive takes effect 48 hours after the change.
Please write to support@catcasino.com in order to self exclude."
Could you please forward all the emails or screenshots showing that you have sent requests for self-exclusion? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru. Do I understand correctly that you deposited €600 after you send the first request?
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,
Kristina

Hello Kristina! Apparently I expressed myself badly! I made multiple deposits! I estimate a total of around four to five hundred euros! I played there for a long time too! And since I close all my accounts at all casinos, I closed this account too! Remaining credit is 600 euros! So a little more than I deposited! I'm happy to send screenshots! LG

Hello Kristina
I submitted screenshots as requested! This shows that the self-exclusion was emphatically demanded! These also show that the payout was requested several times and that it was rejected by the casino (because I closed the account!). Several withdrawals were recorded through the system before the account was closed! All were rejected without comment despite successful verification!
Thanks for the support

Hello there!
We are very sorry that the situation turned out this way. While the player was blocked at his request, it was difficult to withdraw. At the moment we are negotiating by mail with the player to lead his funds amounting to 600 EUR to the IBAN.

What is there to negotiate! Account is verified! All documents were sent several times! Sometimes they didn't even respond to email inquiries! Everything is documented with screenshots! Self-exclusion had to be requested several times and was only implemented after threats of legal action! Catcasino is this the approach of its reputable casinos?

The casino is now sending me multiple emails telling me that my account can no longer be opened! 1.) I don't want to open my account because of my gaming behavior and 2.) I wouldn't play at a casino that only causes problems anyway!
All I want is my remaining balance! And if necessary, I will sue for this through my legal protection insurance! If the casino does not have a valid license for Austria, it will be an expensive process!
