Dear Thomas,
Dear Rebecca,
We would like to clarify the circumstances surrounding the reopening of the account.
At the time of the initial closure, the account was closed at the player’s request due to gambling-related concerns. Approximately 30 days later, the player contacted our support team requesting the account to be reopened. During this interaction, our agent followed the internal procedure in place at that time and explicitly asked the player to confirm whether her situation had changed and whether she felt capable of playing responsibly. The player clearly confirmed that this was the case and expressly requested to proceed with the reactivation.
Based on this explicit confirmation and consent from the player, the account was reopened. At no point was the account reactivated without the player’s request or against her expressed wishes at that moment.
That said, we fully acknowledge that cases involving responsible gambling require a particularly cautious and conservative approach. In hindsight, the reopening should have been handled with additional safeguards, and we recognize that the situation was distressing for the player.
Following the player’s latest contact and complaint, the account has now been permanently closed, and this decision is final. No future requests to reopen the account will be accepted.
We have also reviewed this case internally and are reinforcing our responsible gambling procedures and staff training to ensure similar situations are handled more strictly going forward.
We sincerely regret the negative experience and emphasize that player protection remains a priority for us.
Best,
