Case summary

The player from Italy had concerns about the casino reopening his account, which had previously been closed due to gambling addiction, without his consent. He believed this action encouraged gambling and could have led to a relapse. We clarified that compensation claims could not be pursued unless there were losses due to failed player protection. Since the player did not deposit after the account reopening and there was no evidence of prior disclosure to the casino, no refund could be requested. The player was advised to confirm the account status with the casino and consider self-exclusion if necessary. Consequently, the complaint was rejected due to a lack of grounds for intervention.

The casino arbitrarily reopened my account, which had previously been closed due to gambling addiction.

Reopening an account closed due to addiction without consent is a way to encourage gambling and cause people to relapse.

Good evening

Forwarded emails, if the account is still open I can't verify it, I installed an app that prevents me from logging in.

The only thing I ask, given the conduct of these casinos, incitement to gambling, they should be fined and compensate the unfortunate victim.

Reopening an account that was closed due to addiction only reactivates the addiction, which is why I am asking for compensation.

Thanks for your patience.

  • Kindly provide evidence that your player's account has been closed due to your disclosure of gambling issues in the past.

According to the response you received from the casino, there are no recent deposits that would qualify for a refund due to the reopening of your account.

  • Could you please explain what the disputed amount of €500 represents in this situation?

Send the information to my email at tomas@casino.guru

Looking forward to your reply.

The €500 sum, as mentioned, is symbolic. It was intended to request symbolic compensation. They arbitrarily opened an account closed due to addiction without anyone requesting it! Reactivating my addiction

Thanks for the clarification.

Unfortunately, we don't pursue damages or compensation, other than money that was lost due to failed player protection. I recommend you ascertain with casino support whether your account is closed or not, since you currently don't know. If your account is not blocked, we recommend you request a self-exclusion due to gambling problems via email to support using the following template:

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

Greetings StoneVegas 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 problems.

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.

Thanks for your reply.

Sadly, we may intervene only in a narrow range of situations. If your account was reopened, but you didn't lose any deposits as a result, there is little we can accomplish beyond recommending you self-exclude by disclosing your gambling issues to the casino. We may not ask the casino for compensation. In similar cases, we pursue only refunds of deposits being made to the casino during which the player protection was supposed to be in place. Since it appears you didn't deposit into the casino following the account reopening, and there is no evidence of a previous disclosure of gambling issues to the casino in the first place, no refund can be pursued. We recommend you save similar communication as evidence that the player protection is in place.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, we will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern, or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.
