Roobet Casino - Pelaajan yritys sulkea itsensä pois kasinolta on jäänyt huomiotta.

Hi,

I have requested the casino to close my account due to multiple reasons;

1. I have bet more than i can afford on roobet
2. Overtime i feel myself developing a problem with gambling which has not happened before when i have played at casinos online or building
3. customer service are often times disrespectful to me and ignore me
4. Roobets reward program which is the reason I started playing on the site, doesn’t compensate as well i was lead to believe

After all these reasons, I decided to close my account. I asked live chat staff to close my account. They sent me an email address to request close of the account. Closure of account should be honoured!

I then received an email back from roobet saying that they cannot offer any more rewards and that one of the emails I received was a scam. WITHOUT CLOSING MY ACCOUNT.

This would not have been an issue if roobet had a close account option on the website, which they do not have. So relying only on the email customer support to honour account closure.

This leads to the complaint I’m making as today i have still had access to the account and due to my problem i have deposited and played on the site today.

I am requesting a refund of net deposits for today and hoping that Roobet will honour this as it either an oversight or at worst an ignorance from roobet.

I am happy to forward all emails and i have attached screenshots of all proof of request for account closure.

hoping that we can resolve this issue with a settlement of net deposits as of today. I am being totally fair here and not requesting roobet to refund me everything i have deposited on the site. Instead I legitimately should be refunded for deposits made after Requesting roobet to close my account and after Roobet has READ, ACKNOWLEDGED AND RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL, have still not honoured account closure. Therefore I am only seeking a refund of net deposits from roobet from the point where they replied to my account closure.

Dear yuzilabz222,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we’ll contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for a self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru. Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

I have checked the Responsible Gambling section on the website, and this is what I found (here):

Hi,

i have just forwarded all the emails now thanks

Roobet have replied saying that the account was locked in a timely manner.

The locking of my account was from live chat please do not try to mistake the two actions because THAT IS WHERE THE WHOLE COMPLAINT LIES WITHIN. 

1. Asked for account to be closed on live chat and mentioning that i was not happy with the amount of money i was wagering

Then 

2. I was told to email roobet, which i have done

Then 

3. Roobet replied without closing my account or acknowledging account closure, just replying with we can’t offer bonuses. Which I believe to be a dangerous oversight

Then 

4. I accessed the site the next day and continued playing and accumulated losses

Then 

5. I contacted support and said despite asking for account closure my account was not locked which has deepened my problem with gambling on roobet. 

Then 

6. After deposits and requesting refund, live chat blocked my account.

If roobet took 24 hours to reply to my email and block my account which is what they are arguing, then understandably I wouldn’t be entitled to a refund settlement.

However, this is not the case. Instead, I received email responses and live chat responses ignoring requests to close account. Therefore i am seeking the net deposits for the time period between roobets response to my email without actioning account closure to the point when i asked live chat for a refund settlement due to account not being closed to which they simply locked the account.

please do not get confused between the two as that is the crucial factor in my complaint. Even in terms of general responsibility for any company with user accounts.

If I request to close my account multiple times and it has not been actioned, that is either a severe oversight or ignorance. I should not be pleading multiple times to have my account closed, especially when it comes to something as serious as gambling. If the situation got any worse i could have deposited and lost a lot more due to the negligence.

also all proofs have been forwarded to casino guru Petronela’s email. Thanks

Also to further expand on technicalities:

Please do NOT mistake their reply as account was closed within 24 hours in a timely manner.

their terms as you mentioned Mr Petronela:

"The Roobet support team and the Roobet compliance team might not be available at all times, but we aim to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

• By E-Mail: support@roobet.com • By E-Mail: CS@roobet.com"

From this we can see that its not the case that i sent an email to support and as soon as they acknowledge my account closure, they closed my account… this is not the case.

I have asked for account closure, both via live chat and email. ROOBET SUPPORT EMAIL THEN REPLIED TO ME IGNORING MY REQUEST TO CLOSE ACCOUNT ONLY BY STATING THEY CAN’T PROVIDE BONUSES AND STATING THAT I’VE RECEIVED SOME SCAM EMAILS.

from that point Is it not that i have done everything as a player to fairly close my account?

Also roobet stating that they closed my account in a timely manner is not accurate.

My account was locked after I realised i was spiralling out of control with my deposits on roobet and frustrated and deeply affected by the fact that after 3 attempts of asking roobet to close my account nothing was done.

Therefore i felt the right to demand live chat for a refund of deposit FROM THE LAST POINT THAT I ASKED FOR ACCOUNT CLOSURE. I’m not even seeking reimbursement from the first and second time i asked for account closure via live chat but only from the Third time that i asked.

It was at this point, when the live chat staff said that due to a violation of responsible gambling we are locking your account. Now does that seem fair? I’m legitimately confused.

If i’m excessively gambling and I realise this and regardless of previous losses i chose the right decision following roobets guidelines to be responsible both for myself and roobet and requesting 3 times for account closure.

And they still ignore this, isn’t this extremely irresponsible? Its not like roobet took 24 hours to actually read my email or live chat requests and then actioned a close, they were fully aware and allowed me to suffer, treating me like an addict who they could easily exploit. I feel ashamed, embarrassed and a total betrayal from Roobet.
