I appreciate your patience while I looked into the matter further.
I want to offer a clear and honest explanation of what happened on our side.
Initially, I (thought) I was informed by our Customer Support (CS) team that they had responded to your email asking for confirmation of your self-exclusion request, as per our policy. However, when I asked for proof of that response, I was then told that your original email was never actually received by the team — it appears it may have gone to our spam folder.
Naturally, this inconsistency didn't make sense to me, so I asked for further clarification: It turns out there was a miscommunication internally, and I want to acknowledge that clearly. What the CS team originally meant was that had they received and seen your email at the time, they would have replied asking for confirmation — but since the email wasn’t seen (likely due to being filtered as spam), no follow-up ever took place.
I want to stress that this was a genuine internal misunderstanding, and certainly not an attempt to mislead you in any way. That said, when we did receive your second request for self-exclusion — over a year later — our team followed protocol. We responded to confirm your request, and upon receiving your confirmation, your account was immediately closed.
Lastly, I’d like to note that during the time in between, there were multiple ways available for you to self-exclude at any point, including via our live chat support or directly through the self-exclusion feature on the site; which you had access to.
I sincerely hope this clears up what happened, and I appreciate your understanding.
