SG Casino - Pelaajan voitot on takavarikoitu tilin sulkemisen jälkeen.

Hello,

Last month, or rather at the beginning of this month, I made an excellent profit at this casino. The profit was made without any bonuses, exclusively with real money. My highest win was approximately €21,000.

I contacted live chat several times to request a cooling-off period for my account so I wouldn't gamble away my winnings and could withdraw them. However, the customer service representative informed me that this was unfortunately not possible and the only solution was to close the account. According to the casino's terms and conditions, this resulted in the deletion of my entire balance.

To my knowledge, all casinos with a Curaçao license are required to offer a cooling-off period. Unfortunately, I don't have screenshots of the conversation, but the casino can certainly understand this and confirm that I inquired about it in the live chat.

In my opinion, especially since the casino advertises itself as being committed to player protection, this is a massive failure in the area of ​​player protection. Players are given absolutely no way to protect their winnings.

I don't mean to criticize the casino, but I would like to hear Casino Guru's opinion on the matter.

Hallo,

im letzten Monat bzw. Anfang dieses Monats habe ich in diesem Casino einen hervorragenden Gewinn erzielt. Der Gewinn wurde ohne jegliche Boni erzielt, ausschließlich mit Echtgeld. Mein Höchststand betrug ca. 21.000 €.

Ich habe mehrmals den Live-Chat kontaktiert, um eine Cooling-off-Periode für meinen Account einzurichten, damit ich meinen Gewinn nicht verspiele und ihn auszahlen kann. Der Kundendienstmitarbeiter teilte mir jedoch mit, dass dies leider nicht möglich sei und die einzige Lösung darin bestehe, den Account zu schließen. Laut den AGB des Casinos wurde dadurch mein gesamtes Guthaben gelöscht.

Meinem Kenntnisstand nach müssen alle Casinos mit Curaçao-Lizenz eine Cooling-off-Periode anbieten. Screenshots der Konversation habe ich leider nicht, aber das Casino kann dies sicherlich nachvollziehen und bestätigen, dass ich im Live-Chat danach gefragt habe.

In meinen Augen ist es ,insbesondere da sich das Casino damit bewirbt, dass ihm Spielerschutz am Herzen liegt ,ein massives Versagen im Bereich Spielerschutz. Dem Spieler wird so keinerlei Möglichkeit gegeben, seine Gewinne zu schützen.

Ich möchte das Casino hiermit nicht angreifen, würde aber gerne die Meinung von Casino Guru dazu hören.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with SG Casino. Please note we don't consider cool-off to be a mandatory responsible gambling feature in online casinos. We believe, however, that regardless of the license status of online casinos, the casino should provide a self-exclusion to players suffering from gambling issues. If you indicate to the casino that you are suffering from a gambling addiction and you wish to close your account, the casino should use the threat of confiscating your balance to keep your account open. Players are otherwise fully responsible for their accounts, balances in the casino, and all bets taking place.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

• Have you requested payouts of your winnings? Are there any unprocessed payouts currently pending?
• Is the amount you are inquiring about still waiting to be withdrawn?
• Have you passed account verification in the casino recently or in the past?
• Have you disclosed any gambling issues to the casino at any time?
• Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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,

Tomas
