I am submitting this complaint against a licensed gaming provider, ELABET, regarding serious omissions in the implementation of Responsible Gaming measures.

Specifically, while I had self-excluded myself for a period of one year and am registered in the Register of Excluded Players, I was allowed to re-create an account with the same details, following their own instigation, without any substantive check being carried out regarding my suitability to participate in games of chance.

Additional:

I was not given any deposit or loss limits.

I was not asked for any responsible statement or confirmation that I have control over my gaming behavior.

There was no warning or precautionary measure, despite the fact that I clearly belong to a high-risk category.

Within one day, I made deposits totaling €150, which I lost through betting.

Immediately afterwards, and without my having requested any restriction or exclusion, the company unilaterally deactivated my account, citing "Responsible Gaming" and my protection reasons.

This fact creates serious issues, as:

The company allowed me to operate without adequate checks, despite my history of foreclosure.

He did not implement preventive protection measures before the money was lost.

It proceeded to an ex post facto exclusion, after the losses had already been incurred.

She refuses to return the deposits, even though she herself decided that I needed protection.

In my opinion, this behavior is contrary to the principles of Responsible Gaming and raises reasonable questions regarding the company's compliance with the regulatory framework.

For these reasons, please:

Investigate the case regarding the provider's compliance with its obligations.

Please consider returning my deposits (150€), given that the company itself decided in retrospect that I should be excluded for protection reasons.

I have already contacted the company repeatedly without any substantive response, and I have also filed a formal complaint with the EEEP.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

  • When exactly did you activate the 1-year self-exclusion at this casino?
  • When exactly did you register in the Register of Excluded Players? Was your registration in this register still active at the time you created your new account?
  • Am I correct in understanding that you opened a new, second account at this casino while your original account was closed? If so, did you use the same personal details (such as name, date of birth, and address) when registering the new account?
  • Was your new account verified (KYC) at any point, either before or after you made deposits and played? Did the casino request any identity verification documents from you?
  • Have you contacted the casino regarding a refund of your €150 deposit? If so, what reply did you receive?

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

Best regards

Veronika
