Dear Dolfwin Casino,
Thank you for your reply. Since you have acknowledged that the player made a correct self-exclusion request due to gambling addiction on the 11th of November, I believe that a few things should be mentioned here.
It is imperative that when the casino acknowledges the self-exclusion request, and there is also a gambling problem mentioned, there should be immediate steps taken in order to protect the player. Casinos have both the right and the responsibility to step in when players show signs of struggling with gambling-related issues. If someone expresses concern about their gambling behavior, casinos should take action to limit their access - even if their verification isn’t fully completed yet, or if there are any other reasons that would prolong the complete account closure, as you have mentioned. That’s the whole point of self-exclusion: to protect vulnerable players and prevent further harm.
To make this happen, casinos need clear processes in place that prioritize quick action and effective support for players at risk. This isn’t just about ticking off a regulatory requirement - it’s about truly committing to player safety and fostering a responsible gambling culture.
By putting player protection above paperwork, we can make sure self-exclusion policies do what they were designed to do: give people who need help the support they deserve and create a safer environment for everyone.
With situations like this, the right course of action would be limiting the player's account functions, namely the ability to make deposits and also the ability to play, until the player complies with the KYC procedure, or, whatever else might be the reason why the account closure was being delayed.
With all of the above being said, I believe the player should be refunded their deposits made from the 14th of November forward if we take into account a reasonable timeframe for you to deal with the self-exclusion request, since the player sent a correctly formatted self-exclusion request mentioning a gambling problem, to the proper email address, which you've acknowledged, on the November 11th.
I am looking forward to hearing your opinion on this matter.
Dear Luxuria,
Can you tell me when exactly did you make all of the deposits since the 11th of November?
