Dear Sir/Madam,
I am lodging this formal complaint against Opabet.com / Opabet.com for a severe breach of Responsible Gambling protocols.
On March 14, 2026, I contacted the casino's live chat regarding a missing deposit.
During this conversation, I explicitly stated that I was afraid of a relapse into gambling addiction and needed help and wished the pending deposit (the moment when it arrives) be sent back to my bank and my account fully been closed as being afraid to get a fall back on my old gambling behavior (see attached screenshot)
Instead of immediately self exclusion —as is the industry standard when addiction is mentioned—the representative ignored my plea and told me to wait until the deposit was credited to my balance.
Because my account was not closed as requested, I suffered a relapse. The moment the money came in (after 2 days) the money was lost.
On March 16, 2026, I deposited an additional €700. I again contacted support (deposit was pending), reiterating that I am a problem gambler and that my account MUST be closed immediately. Once again, the agent failed to take direct action and merely instructed me to "send an email."
The casino’s failure to act on my clear admission of gambling addiction has resulted in a direct financial loss that should have been prevented by their duty of care.
Timeline of Events:
March 14: Admission of addiction/fear of relapse via live chat. Request ignored. (Amount: €160)
March 16: Second request for immediate closure due to addiction. Agent refused to close it on the spot. (Amount: €700)
Desired Outcome: I am seeking a full refund of the deposits made after my first admission of gambling problems (Total: €860) and the permanent closure of my account across all brands operating under this license.
