Hello,
I currently have several open complaints against casinos of the same operator because my accounts on several casino websites were reopened without my intervention after I had already self-excluded them. This was also the case on Play.io, where I had my account closed in December 2024, but it was automatically reopened towards the end of January.
I have already asked several times for my account to be closed again after it was reopened, but so far there has been no response from the casino. My account remains open and I can continue to make deposits. I already made the operators aware of my gambling problem when I originally requested self-exclusion, but unfortunately Play.io support has not responded to any of my emails. I wrote the first email after the reopening on February 24, 2025, but since then I have not received any response from the casino.
Something like this should never happen, especially if those responsible know about an existing gambling addiction.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards

Dear lolseinsohn,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the Responsible Gambling section and I found this:
Self-exclusion request: you can contact Support Service Team via e-mail: [email protected], and we will close your account within next 24 hours. It's the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts the player might have and promise not to open any other accounts. Our Website will make reasonable efforts to try to prevent the opening of new accounts but it's the player's sole responsibility to make sure no other accounts are created. Our Website cannot be held accountable for potential losses on other accounts;
Could you please forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is [email protected].
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Kristina

Thank you for your reply, lolseinsohn. Do I understand correctly that you still have access to your casino account? Could you please clarify the dispute value (€100)? Is this the amount you deposited after your account was reopened?

Hello Kristina,
Playio has since closed my account, but only after repeated requests. I deposited exactly 100 euros after my account was reopened on the site, and I specifically double-checked this before the account was permanently deactivated.
Many thanks and best regards!
