Hello tendol4i1, nice to meet you!
My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for providing the information I needed. If I require any further details from yourself, I will reach out to you directly.
Dear AvoCasino, the player has provided me with the e-mail conversation between himself and the casino support agent. On 27th February, a request for account closure due to gambling addiction has been e-mailed to Support. In response, the agent asked for confirmation, and reiterating that this will void any active balance on the account. On 28th February the player confirmed this decision, but it seems like it was not acted upon, and to make matters worse, on 4th March the support agent responded with a message asking the player to reconsider this decision and reminding him of the balance.
From Casino Guru viewpoint, the player protection has failed in three major instances:
We believe that in case of gambling addiction, the player should not be threatened with balance void out. In many cases this scares the players form committing to this important decision, and often leads to even more unwanted spending.
- Ignoring self-exclusion request
Since the request has been clear, and even confirmed, we believe the support staff should have acted and close the account as soon as feasible. According to your original message, the account has been closed around 13th March, which is well beyond the reasonable amount it should have taken.
- Asking the player to reconsider
Asking a gambling addict to reconsider decision to get self-excluded, is bottom line the same as asking a drug addict to reconsider staying on heroine instead of going to a rehab. We see this as a huge misstep on the support agent's account, and in the future we would strongly advise to abandon this practice - as it will lead to more complaints and issues for both players as well as the casino.
With this in mind, I would like to ask if you could e-mail me (matej.l@casino.guru) player's cashier history showing deposits and withdrawals made between 28th February until the account closure, alongside any evidence you may find relative to this complaint, that can support your statement. Thank you for your time and cooperation!
