Dear Casino Guru,
In the following complaint, I would like to express my concerns about the responsible gambling policy applied by Forza.bet.
Earlier, I made a €700 deposit and I have been struggling with a gambling addiction for quite some time. After depositing, I hesitated a lot about playing and eventually decided that I was afraid of relapsing. I explained this clearly to the live chat agent, but despite my deposit still being in my account balance, they refused to return it.
I clearly stated in the chat that I have a gambling addiction and that I am afraid of relapsing, to which the agent responded:
"You can only get it back once you have wagered it once."
In my opinion, this does not fall under a responsible gambling policy. When I asked whether an exception could be made, and whether my account could be closed immediately with the deposit refunded, I was told that in that case I would lose the money.
Is this allowed?
In my view, they should have responded appropriately due to their duty of care.
Thank you.
