Case summary

The player from Lower Saxony had requested the closure of his account due to gambling addiction, but support had ignored his multiple requests and had not blocked his account. He demanded a refund of €230 for the losses incurred after his initial request. The issue was resolved as the casino acknowledged the player's closure requests and issued a refund of €150 as a gesture of goodwill after reviewing the case. The player confirmed receipt of the funds, and the complaint was marked as resolved.

Hello, I lost several hundred euros in this casino, so I wrote to support that I would like to close my account due to my excessive gambling addiction. Support then asked me to send an email to [email protected] to send me an email requesting me to close my account.


Nothing happened! They just ignored it.

Of course, I lost another 100 euros.

So, on Saturday, October 25, I sent another email requesting that my account be closed immediately. I also requested a refund of the €100 I had earned so far and made it clear that I wanted the money I had lost since my email. Since then, my account hasn't been blocked by support—no response, so I've lost another €130.


So, in short, I asked support to block my account, but they ignored my request, which is illegal, by the way. I'm now demanding a refund of €230 from the casino and, of course, that my account be blocked immediately. Since I haven't had any success, I'm asking you to help me and contact the casino.


Thanks

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Pistolo Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise whether your account has been blocked or if it is still accessible to you?
  • Have you saved any self-exclusion requests where you disclosed your gambling addiction to support? Please send the relevant evidence to my email at [email protected]
  • Could you please advise when was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
  • Could you please share the casino's responses to your requests for help?

As the next step, I would recommend that you send a self-exclusion request, but this time, include me in the copy of your email.

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Pistolo Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling addiction.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

Please send another email to [email protected] (you can include me in the copy at [email protected]) and keep me informed about any further developments.

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

So, a total of 380 euros since my initial request to have my account blocked. Please help me finally get my account blocked and my money back.

Hello Kingeckrim,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would like to ask you to send one more email, precisely mentioning self exclusion and gambling issues to the casino again. I would also like to invite the Pistolo Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us? As the player has issues with gambling, please block his account as soon as possible. Afterwards, would you be able to provide us with his deposit history?


Thank you in advance for closing the account and providing us with your view of the issue. In case there is any additional evidence/information you would like to present us, please send it to [email protected]

Dear parties,


I would like to offer an update on the situation. We have received proof from the player, that he has sent multiple mails to the casino, requesting account closure. At this point, the casino claims no emails have been received on their part. We will try to get to the bottom of this with the casino, and evaluate this internally as well.


Regarding the possible refund - we are still unable to calculate this figure, as we need a deposit and playing history, with the dates of activity attached. We have received similar document from the casino, but without any time indicators. We are unable to continue the resolution process, unless we see when exactly were the funds played through or deposited.


Dear casino representative,


I will send you an additional email shortly. Also, to clarify, do you want to communicate through the support e-mail address or the second one we have been communicating through?

Hello Kingeckrim,


these are of course also very valuable to us and we could use them as a substitute to the deposit history. Ideally, we would also like to see the betting activity as well - in case there are any additional amounts left from previous deposits.


The request itself remains the most important issue at this point however.

Dear casino representative,


thank you for your response and continued cooperation.


I would like to clarify that I have responded to an email from November 19th. In case you have issued a further response, I have unfortunately not received it. To avoid any further misunderstanding, I will be sending you a new response shortly. In case there was a response from your side, please re-send it to me.


Currently, we have received information from the player, showing that several closure requests were successfully sent to your support address. I have also sent you the player's email from 28th of October, please double check whether you have received this email.


I also acknowledge the receipt of the betting history, unfortunately, I was unable to see the exact dates of play. However, as player mentioned in the thread, these can be substituted by the history of deposits he has provided us with. I will attach them in new email for you.


We will be awaiting you response.


Best regards

Dear All,


Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your case in detail.


After checking thoroughly with our team, we were unfortunately unable to locate the initial email containing the closure request, even after reviewing the evidence you provided. It is possible that this was due to an error within our system.


In the interest of reaching a fair resolution and as a gesture of goodwill, we have decided to issue a refund of 150 EUR.


To proceed with the refund, we kindly ask the player to provide the following bank details:


• Full Name (including all middle names)

• E-mail

• IBAN or Bank Account Number

• BIC

• Bank Name & City

• Country where the bank is located


Once we receive this information, we will be able to initiate the refund process.


Please let us know if you require any further clarification or assistance. We remain at your disposal.


Kind regards,

We're glad to hear that your issue has been resolved, and once again would like to thank the support team over at Pistolo Casino for their response. We'll go ahead and mark the complaint as 'resolved' in our system. We appreciate your cooperation and confirmation.


Although I sincerely hope you will not have to contact us again and leave gambling behind, in case you ever encounter any issues with any other casino in the future, reach out to our Complaint Resolution Center. We will try to assist you to the best of our abilities. In the meantime, I strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker onto your computer and mobile.
