Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Spain pointed out that the casino had charged her deposits at a different rate that day. Despite her self-exclusion request on the 16th, the casino had offered her spins to continue playing, and she then sought a refund. The Complaints Team determined that the casino had not handled the self-exclusion request promptly, which led to further deposits. However, the casino insisted that they had acted within their terms and conditions. Due to the lack of cooperation from the casino, the complaint was closed as unresolved. The player was advised to contact the Curacao Gaming Authority for further assistance. Eventually, the complaint was reopened at the casino's request, and the player confirmed that she had received her refund and that her account was closed. The issue was marked as resolved by the Complaints Team.

Today, the casino charged the deposits at a different rate. On the 16th, I requested self-exclusion due to gambling problems, and they offered me spins to continue playing. I am requesting the return of 720 from today's deposit.

Dear Gomblingo Casino,


We at Casino.Guru consider self-exclusion requests due to a gambling problem a serious issue, because often times, players are not in control of their actions. That's why their accounts should be closed permanently.


Can you close the player's account for an indefinite amount of time?

Public

Dear Michal,


We have once again reviewed the Player’s account and request, which led us to take appropriate action and restrict his access for an undefined period of time.


The initial restrictions was put in place in order to provide adequate assistance to the Player upon the manual review of the mail. Also, we would like to mention that it can very easily be extended once it was passed.


Such requests are always reviewed manually by an agent in order to make sure that we are able to assist with the issue accordingly. The Player submitted an e-mail to the appropriate address which was handled within the designated timeframe in our terms. 


We did not receive further replies in that thread as we would like to stress once again that such requests are only handled by the appropriate team and e-mail address. Thus, after our discussion here appropriate actions were taken and the request was reviewed again.


Kind Regards,

Gomblingo Casino Team

Dear Gomblingo casino, I have contacted you without success in chat, you tell me to be patient, you do not respond to any email, if the self-exclusion was indefinite, why did they only put 30 days on May 30, of which there are many charges of the day 31, this should not have happened since the account was supposedly self-excluded for 30 days, it was only when I contacted through this forum that you responded, and through the chat it told me that I would soon have a resolution.

Dear Tonivaleria1 and Michal,


Bear in mind that because we have strictly established self-exclusion process, it is crucial that all related communication goes through the dedicated email only (customercare@gomblingo.com). This is done in order to keep the handling concise and avoid potential concerns. 


Nevertheless, the exclusion request and the account were reviewed again and a restriction was placed as per our previous reply.

Dear casino gomblingo, although the casino self-excluded my account on May 30 until June 30, which was not fulfilled because on the 31st all those incomes were there, and I was able to access my account days later, and I have been patient and polite, only I claim the money from the 31st, for the evidence that I have sent to the appropriate emails, a cordial greeting

Dear Gomblingo Casino,


The player should be entitled to a refund of his deposits from the 22nd of May until the 30th of May, as the self-exclusion process took longer than we believe it should have.


Would you consider refunding the player and therefore successfully resolving this complaint?

Dear Michal, 


As stated in our previous replies, all actions taken towards the user's request, are as per our established terms and policies.


As much as we strive to resolve such requests as quickly as possible, each case is being reviewed manually in order to achieve the highest security and compliance, which may result in slightly longer handling times, which is why we have the designated timeframe for such cases.


We trust you understand that technical time is needed for each self-exclusion request to be processed, therefore there is outlined designated timeframe in our T&C, and the players request was handled within that outlined timeframe.

Gomblingo Casino Team

Dear Gomblingo casino, I have complied with the terms and conditions of the casino, it is worth knowing their mistakes, support tells me to wait for them to answer my emails, which I have been waiting for 42 days, this case is being bad for the reputation from the casino, I kindly ask for a resolution and leave this in the past, best regards.

Dear Gomblingo Casino,


Of course, I understand that there is a certain timeframe needed to manually sort out and deal with all of the self-exclusion requests.


However, it also needs to be said that these requests must be handled as fast as possible due to the fact that players who suffer from gambling addiction oftentimes are not in control of their actions, therefore the longer the process is, the longer the amount of money they lose is.


I want to ask you one more time if you are willing to reconsider your position in this matter and refund the player.

Dear Michal,


We trust you understand that all actions towards the account were taken in strict accordance to our T&C, which each user agrees with and accepts upon registration. 

Let us however once again emphasize the policies that we have followed in order to approach the case accordingly:

-The self-exclusion request should be explicitly sent to our dedicated mail for such purposes (customercare@gomblingo.com), which would ensure the proper review that needs to be done

-The account was excluded within the specifically designated as per our T&C timeframe


In addition, upon registering every user confirms and accepts our T&C as per which, they shall remain solely responsible for all activity on his Account during the time that the customer request for Self-Exclusion may be pending.

Dear casino gomblingo, I have already sent proof that self-exclusion was requested several times, and this email on the 17th, customercare@gomblingo.com They sent me an email on the 30th and they never self-excluded my account, they only closed it when I started to post the evidence here in the forum, with all the evidence even of charges on May 31st that was supposedly self-excluded, and I wanted to resolve this friendly but I see that you do not look out for the players with gambling problems and even more so when they ask to protect themselves, you have only taken advantage to get more money from the lack of control of a client who asked for help, and I encourage you to put some evidence against me, let me Of course they use that email, and it is one of the emails they send answering me and encouraging me to play so that I don't self-exclude the account, they are proving that they are a fraud, saying that you have 5 different emails to deceive the client, the terms and conditions I have complied with all of them, in those terms and conditions do not say if you have a problem with the game, play more? It is illegal to do so in Curacao, sincerely, a deceived and hesitant former player. Best regards.

Since the casino is not willing to change its stance, I am forced to close this complaint as unresolved. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side.


I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino changes its mind, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.


In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (complaints@gaming-curacao.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (michal.v@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,
