Dear michaelgiroux688,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.
Could you please confirm if you ever requested to be self-excluded due to gambling problems from one of the casinos belonging to White Hat Gaming Limited? The list can be found here:
https://authorisation.mga.org.mt/verification.aspx?lang=EN&company=633683dc-daea-49e5-9a7e-da843d38e7de&details=1
Based on the rules of the MGA license, players' accounts would be suspended across the entire platform if the reason for the self-exclusion was gambling addiction.
"(4) Any exclusion implemented in terms of this article shall be offered:
…
(b) Across all the means by which the B2C licensee provides its services, and, optionally, but not alternatively to the latter, across one or more websites and, or one or more remote means.
…
Provided further that, in the event that a player has been excluded by the B2C
licensee in light of sufficient reasons which indicate that the player may have problem gambling issues, that player shall be excluded across all brands operated by the B2C licensee"
If you have been self-excluded, you should not have been able to register and play in a casino belonging to the same operator. From our point of view, you are not entitled to your winnings since, as a self-excluded player, you should not have been able to play, and therefore, not win or lose. We consider the casino's decision to return your deposits appropriate.
Please let me know if there is anything I might have overlooked.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Veronika
