I’d probably start by choosing casinos with a high safety rating, because those usually communicate with us, and if anything like that happens, we’ll try to help you—and it’s important that the casino responds as well. If they don’t respond to anything, then it’s hard to resolve anything.
Another thing I’d like to mention is that players need to distinguish, for example, between self-exclusion and account closure. But if a player says they have a gambling addiction, the casino should respond as quickly as possible to ensure the player can no longer play. I know, however, that some people try to take advantage of this and then demand refunds from the casino.
So, in our opinion, it’s always necessary to tell the casino what’s going on and that you have a gambling addiction if that’s truly the case. The casino should respond, and if it doesn’t, we always try to help. Players, however, can’t expect the casino to close their accounts in a matter of seconds. If they do it within a few days—about three—I think that’s fine. If it takes a long time, that’s definitely not okay. So it depends on various circumstances, which is how we approach it as well.
