Hello, and apologies for going radio silent. Everything should be back on track now and I can share a little update on the case.
Right now I am waiting for the casino representative to respond to my e-mail I have sent, regarding this complaint, so while we wait, I will share the details.
The main issue here seems to be the internal casino processes regarding the self-exclusion. We, at Casino Guru, believe that the KYC procedure should not prevent the account from being at least suspended, if not closed immediately. Also offering only 24 hours for KYC verification is extremely low amount of time.
To be fair, dear joshymarriott, your downright refusal to pass the KYC verification process is not helping the situation either. If you complied, your account could have been closed within 24 hours, while the account has been still suspended. But as a silver lining, at least we are now aware of the whole self-exclusion procedure of this casino, and maybe we can mediate some ways of amending this process to better protect both the players and the casino.
Just in case - the reason the casinos usually request KYC verification when undergoing self-exclusion, is to ensure they have all the personal details in their internal database, to prevent the player from re-registering with a new account later. Therefore, I would strongly suggest to cooperate and pass the KYC, for maximum protection. If you refuse, and later on manage to get your account at Forza.Bet Casino reopened - or you manage to re-register - Casino Guru will not be able to help you, due to the refusal of cooperating and not adhering to the casino's self-exclusion processes. If you manage to pass this stage, you will be fully protected and ensure no more issues in the future, which would be great.
From my point of view, the ideal situation would be having the player's account suspended once the gambling addiction has been stated (disabling options to play and deposit would suffice for the time being, although total account closure would be preferable), then either the player would pass the KYC verification and got the account permanently self-excluded, or the request would be cancelled by the player, and the usual functions of the account would resume.
In this case, I am asking the casino if they would consider permanently close the account, refund the deposits made within the time period we believe the account should has been disabled (details I will not state in this public thread to prevent it from being misused by others) and then to manage the KYC process to be done as swiftly as possible, to finalise the self-exclusion process according to the casino's internal policies - which have been agreed to upon account creation.
Once the casino lets me know the answer, I will post another update. In the meantime, if I have not explained something clearly, or you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
