Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Ireland, who was struggling with a gambling addiction, had requested self-exclusion from Gembet multiple times and made multiple deposits, but his account had remained open. He had provided all requested information to the Complaints Team, who then tried to contact the casino. Despite extending the response time for the casino, there was no reply. The player had also provided further evidence of an email from Gaming Curacao, the casino's Master licence holder, instructing Gembet to refund the player's funds. However, the player did not respond to the final communication from the Complaints Team, leading to the rejection of the case due to lack of response.

Hello,


I have an account open with Gembet, I sent an email asking for self exclusion due to a gambling problem after depositing €100 and they never closed my account.


A further €290 was deposited and they still never closed my account after a second email was sent.


A further €735 was deposited after sending a third email with repetitive reference to my gambling addiction and to close my account as stated in their terms and conditions and still they did not close my account.


A further €330 was deposited again and they still have not closed my account.


4 emails I sent stating gambling addiction and to close my account and they failed to do so.


This is by fair the worst accountability for responsible gambling that I have seen out of any site. What makes it worse is Gembet Manager receives the email and responds claiming I have to do a different procedure which is not stated in their terms and conditions for self excluding my account. I referenced their terms and conditions to them with a screenshot, he/she acknowledges the terms and conditions by sending the exact same terms and conditions back to my highlighted in red and says I have to do something different/more than what is stated in the terms and conditions.


Is there anything you can do to help with this matter?


Kind regards,

Hello Jozef,


May I have your email address to provide further evidence to you.


Gaming Curacao their Master licence holder personally emailed support (Gembet ) and told them to refund funds and yet there is still a delay. (I have a copy of the email sent to their support stating as such in writing)


Kind regards,
