Hello,
I would like to file a formal complaint against Opabet due to a serious Responsible Gambling failure that resulted in significant financial and emotional harm.
Below I explain the situation clearly and chronologically:
---
1. First request for self‑exclusion (10 April)
On 10 April, I sent an email to Opabet requesting self‑exclusion due to my gambling addiction.
I clearly stated that I suffer from ludopathy and needed my account to be closed immediately for my own safety.
After sending that email, I logged out assuming the casino would comply with my request.
---
2. Opabet did NOT close my account
A week later, I logged in again and discovered that:
- my account was still open
- I had full access to deposits and games
- Opabet had sent me a reply that did not process my self‑exclusion
This is a clear failure in Responsible Gambling procedures.
---
3. As a person with gambling addiction, I continued depositing and losing money
Because my self‑exclusion was ignored, and due to my addiction, I continued:
- depositing money
- playing
- losing large amounts
These losses would not have occurred if Opabet had respected my initial request.
---
4. Second request for self‑exclusion
I contacted support again, repeating the same request:
I asked for self‑exclusion due to addiction.
Instead of helping me, support redirected me to the VIP manager.
---
5. VIP manager offered bonuses instead of protecting me
When I repeated that I needed my account closed because of addiction, the VIP manager:
- did NOT close my account
- did NOT apply any protection
- offered me bonuses
This encouraged me to continue gambling and led to more deposits and more losses.
Offering bonuses to a player who explicitly states they have a gambling addiction is a severe violation of Responsible Gambling standards.
---
6. Result: significant financial harm
Because Opabet ignored my self‑exclusion requests and offered incentives to continue gambling, I lost a substantial amount of money that should never have been at risk.
---
7. What I request
I am requesting a refund of the deposits made AFTER my first self‑exclusion request on 10 April, as these losses occurred due to Opabet’s failure to protect a vulnerable player.
---
8. Additional note
Yesterday I sent them another email requesting the same thing I am requesting here.
After that email, they finally closed my account — but without giving me any response at all.
This is why I am turning to you for help.
