Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Italy had repeatedly requested to close his casino account, but the casino had not complied, leading to further loss for the player. The player had sent multiple requests for self-exclusion to the casino, but the account remained active. We had suggested the player to clearly state the reason for self-exclusion and specify the period in his communication. The player followed our advice but was unable to access our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool due to regional restrictions. Despite our guidance, the player's issue remained unresolved, and he lost all his winnings. We had then closed the complaint due to lack of further response from the player.

I've asked numerous times to close my account. It feels like I've been trying forever. Because of them, I've lost everything. I have the email and everything... I know I shouldn't have gone this far, but I wanted to close it myself...

Dear Luca9508,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for a self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru.

Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Luca9508,

Thanks for sending over the screenshots. It's crucial to clearly state the reason for your request to permanently close your account. Regrettably, I couldn't identify any explicit reason in the forwarded communication that indicates a gambling problem or any other justification for maintaining the account block.

When applying for the self-exclusion, state clearly the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible. 


Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion


Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:


"Greetings Greatwin Casino,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Please send another email to support@greatwin.com (you can CC me at petronela.k@casino.guru in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. If there is any option for an alternative contact such as live chat or WhatsApp, please try that too and save screenshots of the relevant communication.


In the meantime, you also have the option to utilize our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool. This tool allows you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

So unfortunately nothing can be done? Did I send the email wrong and as a result they didn't close the account?

Hi Luca9508,

I'm sorry to hear that you lost all your winnings. Please remember that when requesting self-exclusion, it's important to follow a few simple steps to ensure a successful outcome:

  • Send your request to the correct email address provided in the general terms and conditions of the casino.
  • If your email goes unanswered, utilize other communication channels to address your concerns or send multiple emails.
  • Clearly state the reasons why you wish to have your account self-excluded.
  • Requesting bonuses should never be a means to close your account.

Regarding the Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool, please attempt to access our website using a VPN, as some parts of our website are blocked in Italy.

Let me know if there's anything else we could try to help you with.
