Winhero Casino - Player’s account is closed with delayed response.

I am a struggling gambler however I sometimes do know my limits and when to stop. I opened account with Win Hero made quite substantial amounts of deposits

finally I managed to win some of my money back €1000

at this stage I reached out to live chat and begged them to block me from playing I advised them I had gambling addiction and neededed help I couldn’t afford to lose any more money. They advised they can’t close accounts via live chat to email support

i emailed support who then said oh your VIP email them

when i requested withdrawal a message appeared saying it would be processed with few minutes

however fighting a gambling addiction I knew too well I couldn’t take chance and wait

I sent email twice to VIP

they responded telling me to breath out phone away and give it one more day before I made such a decision

i replied no I can’t I really need my account closed I’ve lost too much and I have gambling problems

this was all ignored

I then received email from vip saying my IBAN was wrong so i requested withdrawal for €1000 against this stage I was asked to verify my account which I did but I wasn’t required too this on first attempt again message received saying withdrawal would be processed in seconds

I again reached out on live chat as I was getting no response from emails begging to close my account begging to block me so I couldn’t put in more deposits again all ignored

unfortunately as I knew I would I lost this pending withdrawal and because of delayed I continued to make more deposits

when I reached breaking point I tried live chat again who said wait to hear from vip as they couldn’t do anything

vip replied blaming me for inputting wrong IBAN however my point was if they followed their own procedures I wouldn’t have been able to cancel this withdrawal and make more deposits

the response I got was offering more bonus of €150

again completely ignoring me telling them how much this was impacting my mental health and how I had been asking for days for account to be closed and clearly stating I’m struggling with gambling problems

when I sent email with screenshots of their website where it said they take responsibile gambling very serious and no where does it state only vip can close account

it states if you think you have problem contact support which I did in multiple occasions

then once I provided these screenshots from their website and I provided wording from their T&Cs I got email saying your self exclusion has started

this was way too late I had lost everything

I responded and said it was only fair they refund deposits as they completely ignored me and failed to follow any sort of regard for responsibility for gamblers

I got a reply from VIP saying any queries now relating to account must go through support / they are treating me like a toy passing me around . At one stage when I reached out on live chat and said I wasn’t in a good place mentally the response I got was "Stop and just wait for reply"

I never got reply just was treated so so badly
