ZonaGioco Casino - Pelaajan itsensä sulkeminen epäonnistui.

Greetings,

on 28 July 2022 I sent by email the request for the permanent closure of the gaming account and without the possibility of it being reopened in the future in my name, under penalty of reimbursement of any lost deposits.

The casino closed the gaming account on the same day but allowed me today on August 15th to reopen a new one with the same data, email and telephone number. I lost 1500 € which I am requesting a refund as my July request not to open any other accounts in my name at this casino was not respected.

In all the ADM casinos in which I have made this type of request in the past, they have put my tax code on the black list, not giving me the possibility to open other accounts in the future. This casino, on the other hand, did not carry out this procedure, causing me to lose another 1500 euros which I am requesting a refund.

Thanks for collaboration.

Salve,

in data 28 luglio 2022 avevo inviato via mail la richiesta di chiusura permanente del conto gioco e senza la possibilità che ne venissero riaperti in futuro a nome mio pena rimborso di eventuali depositi persi.

Il casinò ha provveduto alla chiusura del conto gioco nello stesso giorno ma mi ha permesso oggi in data 15 agosto di riaprirne uno nuovo con stessi dati, mail e numero telefonico. Ho perso 1500€ di cui chiedo rimborso dato che non è stata rispettata la mia richiesta di luglio di non aprire altri conti a nome mio su questo casinò.

In tutti i casinò ADM in cui in passato ho fatto questo tipo di richiesta hanno messo il mio codice fiscale in black list non dandomi appunto la possibilità di aprire altri conti in futuro. Questo casinò invece non ha eseguito questa procedura causandomi la perdita di altri 1500 euro di cui chiedo rimborso.

Grazie per la collaborazione.

Hello carsix79,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Could you please advise what reason you have given when requesting to block your account?

Please, let me explain you what the difference between closing the account and self-exclusion is:

Some casinos use lots of tools for responsible gambling and I would not mention them here. What players can do if they’re unhappy in the casino: Close the account or self-exclude themselves, those are the two basic choices.

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen account anytime, and casino has no obligation to the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problem).

In the case of self-exclusion, if casino failed in this, player may ask for a refund.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Nick

Dear carsix79,

Unfortunately that is not how it works. If you did not mention gambling issues or addiction the casino had no reason to self exclude you. You can't just made up your own rules and state them to casino and expect them to follow it.

The complaint will be now closed as it is unjustified. Please be sure to request for account closure/self exclusion according to the casino's terms next time instead of making up your own ones.

Best regards,

Nick
