Wettigo Casino - Pelaajan tili on suljettu ilman selvää syytä.

I accumulated winnings/credit of 3400 euros at Wettigo playing Roulette. Then I was blocked from playing further under the justification that I needed to verify my account. I had to upload the same documents multiple times and also verify over the phone. Afterwards, I was put off for days, and now in the end, my account has been suspended due to allegedly violating the terms and conditions. I was not informed of the exact violation.

I no longer have access to my account.

Ich habe bei Wettigo Gewinne/Guthaben von 3400 Euro angehäuft mit Roulette. Dann wurde ich zum Weiterspielen gesperrt mit der Begründung, dass ich mich Verifizieren muss. Ich musste mehrmals die gleichen Dokumente hochladen und auch telefonisch verifizieren. Anschliessend wurde ich tagelang vertröstet und nun zum Schluss wurde mein Konto gesperrt da ich gegen die AGB verstossen hätte. Der genaue Verstoss wurde mir nicht mitgeteilt.

Ich habe keinen Zugriff mehr auf mein Konto.

Thank you very much, Adrian91, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal ([email protected]) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hello Adrian91,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Wettigo Casino to join the conversation.

Dear Wettigo Casino,

We would appreciate a detailed explanation of what and how the players supposedly violated your rules. Kindly provide me with any evidence supporting the alleged violations of your terms and conditions of which the player is being accused. You can send the information to me at [email protected]

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Adrian91,

I have received the following email from the casino team:

Dear Mr. Michal K,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us.

In accordance with our Terms of Service, we are unable to disclose any customer information to third parties without the appropriate customer authorisation of representation. To proceed with your request, we kindly ask that you provide the following documents:

A valid power of attorney document proving your authorisation to act on the customer's behalf.

A copy of the customer's ID (front and back).

Depending on the received documents we may further request additional documentation as/ where required.

These documents are required to verify the customer's authorisation of representation and to ensure that we safeguard individual customer data in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Alternatively, the customer is welcome to contact our Customer Support Department directly, and we will be happy to assist them with this matter.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,

Marie

Wettigo Team 

While this may not have been the response I anticipated, I recognize that the casino must adhere to specific regulations, which can limit the sharing of crucial information and evidence without explicit consent from the player. If you still want us to assist in advancing your case, kindly send the requested information for the customer's authorisation of representation to me at [email protected]

I look forward to your reply

Yes, I can deliver the documents but that's the same delaying tactic again 🙂

The casino didn't even answer my personal request for reasons etc. because they aren't allowed to do so due to data protection regulations. Which is ridiculous, and the data protection law is supposed to apply to me.

Ja ich kann die Dokumente gerne zustellen aber das ist wieder die gleiche Hinhaltetaktik 🙂

Das Casino hat ja nicht mal auf meine persönliche Anfrage die Gründe etc. genannt weil sie das aufgrund Datenschutzbestimmungen nicht dürfen. Was ja hirnrissig ist, und das Datenschutzgesetz ja mir zukommen soll.

Dear Adrian91,

As I mentioned, I had anticipated a somewhat different reply from the Wettigo team; however, I understand their commitment to adhering to their privacy policy. To assist you further, I kindly ask that you send the previously mentioned documents to [email protected]. Additionally, you can send an email to the casino support team that you authorise us to receive all and any information concerning your account from them. Once all this is provided to me and to the casino team, I am hopeful that we can proceed effectively with your complaint towards a satisfactory resolution.

Dear Adrian91,

Thank you for your email. I will reach out to the casino team again to gather the necessary information and evidence. Hopefully, we can find a way to resolve this case.

Dear Adrian91,

As I have informed you via email, despite being in touch with the Wettigo team and while they have provided some information, it unfortunately does not include the critical evidence needed to substantiate the rule violation you are accused of. The casino has opted not to share this essential evidence due to their privacy policy concerns. Even though I submitted your signed authorization for representation, they have chosen to maintain their original stance. This feels quite unfair, as any rule violation could be clarified if the casino were willing to cooperate.

My recent discussions with the casino team did not lead to any advancements, and in their final response, they reiterated they are firm with their decision, which compels me to classify this complaint as unresolved due to a lack of sufficient evidence from their side. I will be marking the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this is not the resolution you were hoping for, and I empathize with your frustration. However, the impact of unresolved complaints on the casino's rating may encourage them to reconsider their position. Should they choose to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you via email.

If you want to take this complaint further, you can contact the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) via this contact form. Although GCB does not officially handle disputes between players and gaming operators, they might be able to help, so it is worth a try.

Please let me know if and how they responded at [email protected] if you try this option. It is important to ensure that your complaint is submitted in English, as responses may not be provided if it is in another language.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Michal
