Hotloot Casino - Player demands a refund and account closure.

Closed
Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: €2,000

Hotloot Casino
Safety Index:Very low

Case summary

The player from the Netherlands highlighted that the casino operated without a license and demanded a refund of all net losses. He attempted multiple times to close his account permanently but believed the casino had acted unlawfully to keep him playing. The casino eventually closed his account after he requested a refund on legal grounds, not self-exclusion. We explained that the casino could close accounts at any time and that intervention was possible only if withdrawable balances were withheld or winnings confiscated. Due to the player's lack of response to further inquiries, the complaint was closed without resolution.

  1. this casino operates in the Netherlands without any license. Only for that reason they should already refund all the nett losses.
  2. i asked to close my account multiple times (specificly to close it permanently) but they did everything to keep my playing. also illegal under EU-law.


so please ask a representative of the casino to refund all nett losses before i start a lawsuit

Thanks for your reply.

If you believe you are a vulnerable person in need of player protection, I recommend you contact the casino again and request a self-exclusion due to gambling problems via email at support@hotloot.io, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Hotloot Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

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

Best regards,

Tomas

Thanks for your reply.

We believe the casino can close players' accounts at any point for any reason. We intervene only in situations where a withdrawable balance is withheld or winnings confiscated.

We can only ask the casino for a refund of funds that were used for gambling if we are convinced you should have been protected from further gambling, such as when you inform the casino of your gambling issues and the casino fails to act to protect you.

Please let me know if there is any evidence that you informed the casino of your gambling issues in the past, and please provide it to me for review at tomas@casino.guru
