DirectionBet Casino - Player requests refund after account self-exclusion.

I submitted a request for self-exclusion through chat first and immediately afterward via email to block my gaming account due to gambling addiction. This was on December 11.

I am requesting the casino to refund me the 550 euros that I played yesterday, December 17. Thank you.

Dear Enjoy1984,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the Responsible Gambling policy and I found this:

3.22.1. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the Operator shall temporarily suspend access to his/her Account or terminate it altogether, within ten business days, deemed Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays ("Business Days") of receiving a properly formatted request to Self-Exclude in connection with customer’s declaration that he/she may be experiencing problematic gambling behavior. ("Self-Exclusion Request")

3.22.2. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that a Self-Exclusion Request as meant in section 3.22.1. is deemed properly formatted if and when it complies with the criteria as set forth in section 3.22.3. If customer’s request does not comply with the said criteria, the Operator is not required to treat the request as a request for Self-Exclusion and the Self-Exclusion Policy shall then not apply to customer’s request.

3.22.3. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the procedure for Self-Exclusion with the Brand is as follows: If the customer wants to be Self-Excluded from directionbet.com, he/she needs to contact us on the following email address: customercare@directionbet.com

Customer’s email needs to include the following information:

(a) a clear request that states that customer wishes to be fully Self-Excluded (not partially restricted) on a voluntary basis;

(b) the duration of the period of the Self-Exclusion, with a minimum of twenty-four hours.

Do I understand correctly that your account has not been closed? Have you received any reply to your self-exclusion request?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

I have not had any response from the casino, the account is still open and it is possible to deposit. Thanks

I got a response now that they have closed now.
