Instant Casino - Player’s account was reopened despite self-exclusion.

Buongiorno,

il 2 luglio ho richiesto al casinò Instant casino via e-mail L autoesclusione permanente per via della mia ludopatia e malattia nel gioco d azzardo!

il casinò mi ha riaperto il conto dopo 1 giorno e ho deposititato circa 1700-1800€.

ho bisogno dei miei soldi per vivere, io mi sono autoescluso per non cadere nella trappola del gioco, il casinò mi ha aperto il conto nonostante io mi sia autoescluso!

dopo che mi hanno riaperto ho caricato i soldi e perso tutto …

per favore potete aiutarmi a recuperare i miei fondi !

grazie

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

• Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
• Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Ciao Veronika,

I sent an email with all info …

thanks

Thank you for the screenshots. However, I need to review the full conversations between you and the casino regarding the closure of your account. This is necessary to verify whether you followed all the steps outlined by the customer support representative to successfully self-exclude from the casino. Please forward me the original emails instead of pictures once again at [email protected]. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Dear 9dr2k6jfcq,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Ciao,

ti ho mandato l email ancora una settimana fa con tutto

Thank you very much for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Kubo ([email protected]) who will be at your service. However, I would like to warn you that it seems to be a common practice of Instant Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Regardless of many unresolved complaints marked "No Reaction Policy", we keep on trying.

Dear 9dr2k6jfcq,

It’s a pleasure to e-meet you. My name is Kubo, and I’ll be handling your complaint moving forward.

If there have been any updates or new developments since your last message, please don’t hesitate to share them with me.

In accordance with our standard procedure, I’d like to invite a representative from Instant Casino to join this conversation. Their participation will help ensure a smoother and more efficient resolution of your case.

Dear Instant Casino,

Could you please provide a comprehensive explanation of this case, including the specific reasons why the player's account - previously closed due to a gambling problem in accordance with your self-exclusion policy - was reopened, allowing the player to deposit and play at your casino?

Your detailed response is essential to ensure a fair, responsible, and transparent resolution of this matter.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and timely reply.

Best regards,

Kubo

Hi there,

After reviewing this case, we can confirm that on July 2nd the player requested the closure of their account without mentioning gambling addiction. As per procedure, the account was placed on a cool-off period, and the player was informed that if they wished the closure to remain in place, they would need to contact us again after the cool-off expired.

Since no follow-up request was received, the account was reopened and remained active. On July 7th, after the player reached out again, the account was permanently closed.

Best regards,

Instant Casino Team

Dear Instant Casino,

According to the email the player sent to your casino on July 2, the message clearly indicated a mention of a gambling problem. Since you have stated otherwise, I kindly request that you provide a screenshot from your system showing the player’s message with the account closure request. Feel free to send the evidence to my email address at [email protected].

Thank you for your cooperation.

Tranquilli che questi non rispondono, sapessi lo stato di depressione e di rabbia che in cui mi trovo, ho davvero bisogno di quei soldi per sopravvivere… ci ho provato in tutti i modi… ma il casinò mi ha bloccato su telegram quando ho fatto notare che nei loro termini e condizioni è espressamente scritto che l’account viene bloccato immediatamente dopo la notifica dello stato di ludopatia come ho fatto nell’ email…. Invece mi hanno riaperto il conto apposta per fregarmi i soldi..

lo so che sto ragionando in modo insensato, ma davvero la ludopatia è una brutta bestia…

un casinò così di rilievo che fattura milioni e poi si fa problemi nel rimborsare 1800€ quando sono nel torto ( capita a tutti di sbagliare, e sono qua per ricredermi sulla buona fede del casinò ) ma questo mi fa pensare che sia stata un azione fatta apposta per limitare e sovrastare un giocatore che gli ha lasciato comunque tanti soldi solo per con lo scopo di fregare i suoi soldi giocando sulla ludopatia …

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear 9dr2k6jfcq,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. I will mark the complaint as unresolved in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.

Unfortunately, since the casino is regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) - also referred to as the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) - there is currently no formal process for handling individual player complaints. The CGA has publicly stated that it does not have the authority to mediate disputes or arbitrate between players and operators, and therefore cannot order compensation or provide binding resolutions.

However, the CGA has also acknowledged that player complaints are valuable in identifying potential breaches of licensing obligations. They are actively working on implementing measures to address such matters more effectively in the future. For this reason, it is still worth submitting your complaint through their official contact form or by sending an email to their address at [email protected].

Please make sure to include the name of the casino’s operator in your submission, as omitting this information may result in the complaint being disregarded.

You can find further guidance on submitting complaints to regulators on this link.

If you need help preparing your complaint or receive a response from the regulator, feel free to contact me at [email protected].

I'm truly sorry I couldn't offer a more favorable resolution in this case.

Best regards,

Kubo
