Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

3 years ago

The player from Netherlands demands a refund of his deposits which were made after he has requested the account’s closure. The player asked for account closure because of dissatisfaction with the casino services, therefore we couldn't proceed with this complaint as failed self-exclusion. We rejected the complaint, because the player wasn't entitled to any refunds.

Dear jano1075,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please note, that we believe that casinos can offer their services to anyone as long as the player's country doesn't become an issue at the point of withdrawal. You can read more about our position regarding this issue here.

Furthermore, I am sure you understand that issues with connection might not necessarily be the casino's mistake, and we cannot punish the casino for something like this. It is close to impossible to prove that a weak internet connection is not caused by the player's internet provider.

So I believe we should focus on your account closure. I have checked the responsible gambling section, and this is what I found:

"SELF-EXCLUSION

Should you need to take a break from gambling, we provide a self-exclusion facility which can be activated by the customer within 'My Account' or by contacting Support. Self-exclusion means that your account will remain closed for a minimum period of 7 days, and will not be reactivated under any circumstances during the exclusion period. This is the major difference to a standard account closure request. A written request (expire after your stipulated time frame) is required before account re-opening can be considered.

The Elite24Bet site also allows customers to block access to individual products (Sportsbook, Casino, Games and Poker) via 'My Account' or by contacting Support.

If you are considering self-exclusion, please remember to contact all gambling companies with whom you have accounts and ask to self-exclude with them too. We also recommend that consideration is given to the installation of software that will allow you to block access to internet gambling websites. See Filtering Systems at the bottom of this page."

Could you please forward me a screenshot of your request? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. Also, do I understand correctly that you haven't made any successful deposits after you requested account closure?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Thank you for your email, jano1075, however you didn't include the request to close your account. This supporting evidence is crucial for us to proceed in this case, so please, forward it to me. Thank you in advance.

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 and it is a part of responsible gambling policy. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who’s are addicted/with gambling problems).

Unfortunately, from what I have gathered so far you only requested account closure because you were dissatisfied with the casino services. We cannot proceed with this complaint as failed self-exclusion under these circumstances and we believe you are not entitled to any refunds.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint as unjustified. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

I am sorry you feel like that, it has never been my intention. Nevertheless, I believe I explained our point of view simply and understandably and I don't see any reason why you should be refunded. Please understand that self-exclusion is for players with serious gambling problems and not for players who are dissatisfied with casino services.

Unfortunately, after gathering all the necessary information we are rejecting this complaint as unjustified. Sorry we were not able to help you with this one, but please, do not hesitate to contact us in the future, if you run into any issues with this or any other casino and we will try our best to help.
