Hi Tomas, I would like to add one important clarification regarding my case.
My email of 7 August was not a standard account closure request. It was an explicit request for immediate self-exclusion due to my gambling addiction.
Importantly, my request was sent at 07:28 on 7 August. I then received a direct response from Jennifer, SlimKing’s VIP Manager, at 08:54 the same morning, only 1 hour and 26 minutes later. Her email was sent specifically to congratulate me on my recent winnings. This shows that there was direct communication from SlimKing that morning, after my self-exclusion request had already been submitted.
After receiving Jennifer’s email at 08:54 on 7 August congratulating me on my recent winnings, I replied directly to her email and submitted a second request, explicitly asking for my account to be closed immediately. I did this to make absolutely sure that my self-exclusion request was clearly understood and that my account would be closed without further delay.
When I realised that my account was still active, I followed up twice on 10 August, once in the morning and again in the afternoon. I did this intentionally because I genuinely wanted the self-exclusion to be implemented immediately.
During those conversations, I clearly explained to the agents that this was urgent and necessary, and that I needed every possible measure to be put in place so that I could no longer deposit or gamble.
I am also not asking for a refund of every deposit made immediately after my first email. I am only disputing the deposits made on 11 first at 18:30 PM and 12 August, after my self-exclusion request, after my two follow-ups, and while my account remained fully accessible.
My point is not that the casino had to process my request instantly. My point is that, by the time of those deposits, the casino had already received my original self-exclusion request, my two follow-up requests, and had been clearly informed of my gambling addiction and the urgency of preventing further deposits.
I respectfully ask that these circumstances be taken into account when assessing what constituted a reasonable timeframe in this case
