Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

The player from Switzerland reported unprofessional handling of her self-exclusion request at Dolly Casino, which led to significant losses despite her attempts to close her account. After explicitly requesting a self-exclusion and a refund, the account was ultimately closed without acknowledgment or response. The Complaints Team emphasized the necessity of deposit evidence to process the refund request, but without this documentation, the complaint was closed due to insufficient information. The casino clarified that the self-exclusion had been processed correctly and promptly after the player had communicated her gambling problem on May 8th, leading to the rejection of the complaint.

When I was last active at Dolly Casino in May of this year, there were significant issues with the requested self-exclusion. My request for account closure, where I clearly explained the circumstances (addiction, financial problems, etc.), was not taken seriously and was handled very unprofessionally by the casino and its support team. Despite my clear request for a self-exclusion, I was able to deposit and lose at least another 1400 francs as the only response I received was an offer of a bonus credit of 50.- instead of taking my request seriously. It was only when I again explicitly wished to exclude myself from the platform and requested a refund of the lost money that any action was taken. However, this was done without acknowledgment and with a refusal to refund; I received only a closure and no further response to date. I am asking for your help in enforcing the refund.



I would be more than happy to forward the email correspondence with support to you.

Hello luvanava,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Dolly Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

  • Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly?
  • Did you receive a response to your first self-exclusion request?
  • When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?


Please forward the initial request you sent to the casino for self-exclusion to nikolas.b@casino.guru.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

If I am not mistaken, my account is, or rather was, verified from April 27, 2024. However, I have not been granted access since May, or since the dispute. I have forwarded all support exchanges to you by email. Thank you for checking and initiating further steps.

I cannot give an exact amount, but I have suffered large losses after my self-exclusion in connection with the problem of my gambling behavior. The amount is at least 2x 1400chf and upwards

Hello Luvanava,

According to the email provided, the casino closed your account after you mentioned addiction on May 8th.

Do you have any evidence showing that you reported gambling problems before that date? If so, please forward it to nikolas.b@casino.guru.

If there isn’t any such evidence, unfortunately, the casino is not obligated to issue a refund, as they would not have been aware of your addiction prior to May 8th.

Please let me know if you have any updates or questions.

Best regards,

Nick

Hello Luvanava,

The deposits should be visible from your payment provider from which you have deposited into the casino, it is not necessary to forward the one from the casino.

Be sure to filter out only the payment made into the casino.

Nick

Hello Luvanava,

Can you please explain how is it possible you can't access your own payment provider? What method did you use to deposit? Isn't there the history which shows the deposits into the casino?

Unfortunately no, I wanted to request transaction history from dolly casino directly because I paid via mastercard and paysafe

Hello Luvanava,

Yes I understand that but if you payed with Mastercard or Paysafe, there must be an evidence of your payments within your bank account/payment provider.

Dear Luvanava,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern; however, I must kindly point out that it is impossible to process a refund request without any proof of deposits. Without a list of deposits, we lack the necessary foundation to present your case or further investigate the matter.

It is highly unusual for there to be no record of deposits at all with your payment provider if such transactions occurred. I would strongly recommend thoroughly reviewing your payment records.

Regrettably, without this evidence, we will have no choice but to close the complaint due to insufficient documentation. If you are able to retrieve a detailed list of deposits, please forward them to my email address, and we will be happy to reassess your case.

Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Nick

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear luvanava,


We are sorry to hear about for your situation.


However, We wanted to take a moment to clarify the situation regarding your initial closure request (1st May 2024). When you contacted us initially, you did not ask to close your account instead you asked for a refund.


It is noted that we denied the refund and asked you to inform us if you need any other assistance from us.


Since you expressed your willingness to accept the bonus and didn't request the closure of your account at that time, your account remained open.


However, when you reached out to us via email on 8th May 2024, to indicate your desire to close your account and informed us about your gaming problems, we promptly closed your account.


Please rest assured as we would like to ensure that all Responsible Gambling procedure were followed correctly by us for your account.


Moreover, we would like to kindly draw your attention to the following article from our Terms and Conditions, which you agreed to before registering:


6.6.2 No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.


Therefore, pursuant to the aforementioned article, there is no refund available for your account.We wish you all the best for your future activities.


Take care!


Best regards

Dolly Casino

Dear luvanava,


Although your message from the 1st of May could be taken as a sign of a gambling problem, can you explain why you sent the email from your last screenshot to the VIP email address, when the address for self-exclusion requests is clearly mentioned in the casino's terms and conditions?


"3.8 Self-exclusion request: you can contact the customer service via e-mail: support@dollycasino.com, and we will assist you in closing your account. Furthermore, it is your responsibility to notify the Company of any other accounts you may have with us, and to refrain from opening any new accounts. The Company shall not be liable for potential losses on other accounts. We are not liable for any losses or damages which could be potentially caused by gambling."


It is imperative to send the self-exclusion request to the correct email address to ensure the process is handled as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Dear Dolly Casino,


Can you tell me when exactly was the player's account closed after their request on the 8th of May?

Hello Michal,

Dear luvanava,

 

Firstly, I have to advise you to be careful with sending emails to the correct addresses. You can not send an email to a random email address from the casino site and expect that your request will be handled accordingly and on time. Also, I have to mention that in the first email that you sent to the casino (to the incorrect email address), you did not mention any indication of a gambling problem or that you are not in control of your spending. You mentioned only that you are "not aware" of the spending and also that you are "in favor of closing the account in the future". These statements can not be taken as a request for self-exclusion due to a gambling problem. The only clear request from that email was a request for a refund.

 

Another thing that needs to be mentioned is the fact that when you contacted the casino on the 8th of May (which you sent to the incorrect email address again), and you clearly mentioned your gambling problem, your account was promptly closed without delay. Therefore, the self-exclusion process was handled by the casino correctly and on time.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
