Casinova - Pelaajan tilin sulkeminen ja kotiutuspyyntö viivästyvät.

I emailed Casinova to tell them I have a gambling problem that is harming me and my family and has left me close to bankruptcy. I asked them, as a self-exclusion under section 3.8 of their own terms, to permanently close my account so I can no longer access the site, and to pay out my verified balance of 6,729.10 EUR to my verified bank details, all handled by email so I would not have to log back in.

So far they have not closed my account or actioned the self-exclusion.

My concern is that their terms void funds if an account is closed with a balance or pending withdrawal. That clause is for ordinary closure, not for a self-exclusion made because of gambling harm, and it should not be used to delay my closure or withhold my money.

I am asking that my self-exclusion be actioned and my account permanently closed, that my balance of 6,729.10 EUR be paid out rather than voided, and that I receive written confirmation. I have the full email record and can provide it.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. I have read the casino's Responsible Gaming policy and this is what I have found:

Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@casinova.com, and we will close your account as soon as practicable. It is the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts they may hold and to commit not to open any additional accounts. While our Website will make reasonable efforts to prevent the creation of new accounts, it remains the player's sole responsibility to ensure that no further accounts are opened. Our Website cannot be held responsible for any potential losses incurred on other accounts.

What email address did you use to register at this casino? Have you used the same email address to contact the casino with the request to close your account due to gambling addiction?

Have you passed the full KYC verification, or at least submitted any identity documents to the casino for verification?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Attila

Hello DonerDenis88,

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would like to ask you to send one more email, precisely mentioning self exclusion and gambling issues to the casino again.

I would also like to invite the Casinova representative to enter the discussion.

Dear casino representative,

could you please check the case and explain the matter to us? As the player has issues with gambling, please block his account as soon as possible. Please also note, that we do not believe voiding the player's balance in this situation would be justified.

Thank you in advance for closing the account and providing us with your view of the issue.

Dear Player,

Thank you for conatcting us.

We would like to inform you that the relevant department is currently reviewing your case.

Rest assured that we will notify you promptly once there is an update.

Dear Casinova,

I am writing once more to state this clearly and on the record.

I have a gambling problem. I am formally requesting self-exclusion on the grounds of gambling harm. Please block and permanently close my account as soon as possible so that I can no longer access it, log in, or play.

I have already requested this many times over several weeks, and I have sent all the documents and selfies you asked for to verify my account.. Please pay it out to my verified bank details.

This matter is also now being handled through Casino Guru by complaint specialist Martin, who has asked that my account be blocked promptly and has stated that voiding my balance in this situation would not be justified. I agree with that.

Please block my account now and confirm in writing that it is closed and self-excluded, and that my balance will be paid.

Thank you.

Dear casino representative,

Thank you for your response.

Could you please let us know the expected timeframe for the review? Considering the player has repeatedly raised gambling-related concerns, we would appreciate it if the account could be blocked or closed as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Martin

Dear DonerDenis88,

Oh sorry I didn't know ok.

Dear parties,

thank you both for the continued cooperation. We will now await the casino's confirmation.

Hello Martin,

A quick update. I have now received a payment of 5,639.00 EUR from Casinova, so part of the money has come through, thank you.

However, there is still 1,000.00 EUR outstanding. In total I was due 6,639.00 EUR (the 6,139.00 EUR balance plus the 500.00 EUR withdrawal that was forwarded). I have received 5,639.00 EUR, which leaves 1,000.00 EUR still missing, made up of my two payments of 500.00 EUR each.

I have already emailed the casino to confirm receipt of the 5,639.00 EUR and to ask them to check on the two remaining 500.00 EUR payments and send them to the same bank account.

Could I please ask that the complaint stays open until the full amount has been paid and my account is confirmed self-excluded and permanently closed. I will update here as soon as the remaining 1,000.00 EUR arrives.

Thank you again for all your help.

Denis
