The player from Germany has requested a self-exclusion. Unfortunately, the inquiry was ignored. We rejected the complaint because the player didn't respond to our messages and questions.
I have actively self-excluded myself from a crypto casino. After I locked myself out, I immediately couldn't do anything anymore, and I couldn't play either. Only withdrawals were possible. Then I found out that the casino was updating with new games and a new bonus program, so I tried to play randomly and it worked.
Within the last 7 days (about 10 days ago self-exclusion) I gambled about $18,000. The strange thing is that my self-exclusion was lost after the update, so to speak. But it's still documented for you. It is a licensed casino.
What options do I have here?
Dear concorde,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we’ll contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for the 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
Hello Petronela,
unfortunately I don't have a screenshot which shows that I have excluded myself. But i have screenshots whic
I had excluded myself before the update of chips.gg which introduced new bonus programs and brought some changes (also system related). I would also like to mention that there have never been any problems with Chips.gg, I find the casino extremely fair and good. Also the live chat has always been available and helpful. I can only say that this is really a top casino.
But for whatever reason I feel unfairly treated regarding my problem. The reason is my chat history with the founder of the casino Chips.gg
He first tells me that I had to exclude me via mail, but this is only since the update of Chips.gg the case. Before the update, it was also possible to exclude within the platform. I have excluded myself about 3 or 4 days before the update because I had played a lot that day again, after the self-exclusion I received a bonus which I (because I have excluded myself) could not play although I tried it, there I saw that my self-exclusion has taken effect and I could not play, as it should be. But after I have noticed that there was a new update I have on good luck money deposited or some bonus received I do not know it anymore and simply, i was able to play again. Unfortunately I fell off the wagon right then and gambled away $18,000 +/- $5,000 I really don't know anymore.
After that I wrote to the Owner of the Casino (via live chat) and he first told me that I can only exclude myself via mail, since the self-exclusion was before the update, it was as already mentioned within chips.gg possible to exclude yourself. After that I told him that I did it before the update, whereupon he told me that the official way is via email and you have removed it from the platform.
Thereupon the operator told me that I had no cooldown set at anytime, after I became a little more intrusive and that i know my right he said he would somehow see a cooldown but I would have removed it myself which is not true.
I would even accuse Chips.gg that there was no function to remove the self-exclusion itself (here I'm not sure, I was neither known nor in my knowledge that you could have removed it).
I suspect that with the update my self-exclusion was simply reset for whatever reason and that's why I get inconsistent responses from the owner that he is not seeing my cooldown, than he sees it and then somehow i removed it ...
So there is a reason why they removed the self exclusion from the platform, because it was not working by 100% or susceptible/vulnerable for Updates/Changes maybe.
I have sent you the chat history by mail.
Kind Regards
Thank you very much, concorde, for the forwarded communication. It's really a shame that we have no supporting evidence that you have requested the self-exclusion due to a gambling problem. Please understand that it would be close to impossible to confront the casino without any hard proof.
When applying for the self-exclusion, state clearly the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible.

Please send another email to support@chips.gg (you can CC me at petronela.k@casino.guru in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.
Hello and thank you for your reply. As you should have already seen in the attachments of your mail the screenshots, the owner of the Chips.gg platform has informed me that I have activated my self-exclusion. So I would claim that it is not necessary to provide evidence for this as it has already been confirmed to me from the owner of Chips.gg (view screenshots).
I have not excluded myself without reason, and if I exclude myself then that has to work, and especially for a licensed casino is mandatory. I ask for mediation in this matter.
I have applied for self-exclusion because I have overstretched myself and lost a lot of money. In the logs of the casino this will be visible that I have chosen the self-exclusion after a large loss.
Based on the forwarded screenshots I can see that you were advised to send an email for the self-exclusion:
Please understand that not every casino department can apply self-exclusion to players' accounts. I strongly recommend following the casino instructions, sending an email to support@chips.gg, and keeping me informed, please.
