Lalabet Casino - Pelaaja arvostelee kasinon vastuullisen pelaamisen ominaisuuksia ja vaatii hyvitystä.

Greetings,

As someone struggling with gambling addiction, I have experienced significant financial losses at Lalabet. This casino lacks essential mechanisms for responsible gaming, such as self-exclusion options or deposit limits. Despite my requests for exclusion from their site, Lalabet did not accommodate my needs, leading to further financial detriment. I do possess screenshots to document these interactions, and Lalabet should have relevant records showing the requests of closing my account.

Furthermore, Lalabet's policy explicitly prohibits individuals from the Netherlands from using their services. However, they allowed me to gamble on their platform despite being aware of my Dutch nationality.

In light of these circumstances, I am exploring the possibility of reclaiming the funds I lost while gambling on their website.

Dear Pieterrrr,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. 

If the forwarded communication is the sole correspondence available, I'm afraid it may not be sufficient. According to the terms and conditions, you're required to send an email outlining the reason for the account closure, which seems to have not occurred in this case.

When applying for the self-exclusion, state clearly the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible. 

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Lalabet Casino,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

Please send another email to support@lala.bet (you can CC me at petronela.k@casino.guru in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. If there is any option for an alternative contact such as live chat or WhatsApp, please try that too and save screenshots of the relevant communication.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Petronela

Additional comments from the player:

so i tried contacting like you guys said, but wont get a good reply back. the so called vip manager didnt contact me at all and no actions have been taken from my exclusion request. i just want to quit is it that hard?

Hi Pieterrrr,

Thank you for getting back to us. Could you please advise if there have been any additional attempts from your side to contact the casino after the 3rd of March when you sent your last request?

Thank you.

After another attempt to close my account it finally succeeded. Closed my account for indefinite time and wont return back after losing too much while under CRUKS supervision.

Hi Pieterrrr,

• Just to confirm, was your account successfully closed after you submitted a self-exclusion request citing a gambling problem on March 3rd?
• Could you specify when your account was closed?
• Additionally, when did you make your last deposit?

Thank you.

Yes, my account is succesfully closed on the 11th of march. Im under supervision of CRUKS since december. They allowed me to play either way.

last deposit made on 11th of march 2024.

Dear Pieterrrr,

Did you proceed according to the casino's instructions and send them the relevant information? We will be waiting for your updates.

Hi, you guys got any response to my case?

i would like your expertise in this matter, because of the terrible customer service behind Lala.bet and not knowing my rights behind this case.

Im asking for my money (deposits - withdrawls) back because of the gambling rules in the Netherlands.

They allowed me to play at their casino without Dutch Regulation applies. They didnt provide me any limits to playing and therefore fueled my addiction even more.

If you would like to have my details regarding my CRUKS registration, feel free to ask me.

Dear Pieterrrr,

The casino is trying to solve your issue here in the thread, by asking you to provide the necessary information to the email address vip.team@lala.bet, please proceed by doing so.
