RESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Ireland had repeatedly requested account closure due to a gambling problem but received no response, which led him to gamble €800 he could not afford. Despite numerous attempts to communicate via email and live chat, the casino ignored his requests and failed to fulfill their duty of care. The Complaints Team facilitated communication with the casino, resulting in the player receiving a refund of €800 and the closure of his account. The case was then marked as resolved.

I have been asking for weeks for my account to be closed


i cited a gambling problem and my emails are being ignored. I subsequently gambled €800 I didn’t have after I had requested numerous times for closure


they ignore emails and live chat just say the relevant department will be in touch.


They have a duty of care to customers and they are making addictions worse.

Dear D1989, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion: 

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.  

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with a gambling problem). 

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru

Thank you very much in advance. 

Best regards, 

Veronika

Hi Veronica


I sent you on the emails there


they don’t respond to self exclusion messages either and there’s no way to do it in your account yourself

Dear D1989,
