Case summary

The player from Quebec had requested account closure due to significant losses and concerns over losing control. Although the casino had initially closed the account temporarily, they had continued to send offers, which led to further losses. After the player expressed distress, the account was finally closed, and he sought information regarding his rights in this situation. We had requested documentation and clarification about the self-exclusion requests and the account closure date to assist further. Due to the player's lack of response, the complaint investigation was paused and the case was closed.

I asked them to close my account because I had completely lost control. Due to significant losses, I had no choice; they closed it for a week when I told them to close it permanently. After that, they didn't listen to me and kept sending me offers since I was level 5. As a result, I lost another $30,000, and with each loss, I asked them to close my account, but they wouldn't. I told them I would kill myself if they left it open, and finally, they closed it. I would like to know my rights in this situation.

Dear davidtuna,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your complaint. I sincerely regret learning about your negative experience. To clarify, I would like to explain the difference between closing an account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is a straightforward process that typically has minimal consequences. The player retains the ability to reopen their account at any time, and the casino has no obligation to the player. In fact, the casino may attempt to retain the player by offering bonuses or additional special advantages.

On the other hand, self-exclusion due to a gambling problem carries significant implications. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino commits to not reopening that account, or if they do, it will only occur under specific circumstances (after a designated cooling-off period, and this option is not available for players who struggle with addiction or gambling problems).

Could you please clarify whether you informed the casino about your struggles before losing those $30,000? Please forward the account closure requests you sent to the casino to my email at kristina.s@casino.guru.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Kristina

I requested a self-exclusion because I was no longer managing the account, and I repeatedly asked them to shut everything down so I couldn't play anymore. What are my options?
