The casino has now contacted me, but has only blocked my account for 30 days. But I made it clear that I wanted it closed permanently. Can you clarify this?

Dear Michal,


To clarify the situation, the player submitted his request to the corresponding email - customercare@hot.bet- where, however, he did not explicitly state a given period following our policies. 


Even so, as we treat such cases with the utmost care, we would like to point out that the account status was adjusted accordingly as per the player's wishes.


Best regards,


Hot.Bet Casino team

Dear Marti89,


Did you make any deposits after your self-exclusion requests? If so, when?

Dear Marti89,


I have asked you, when did you make the deposits. I need an exact date, so I can determine if you are eligible for the refund or not. So, I am asking again, when did you make the deposit after the self-exclusion request? Also, can you confirm that your account is closed?

Dear Marti89,


I apologize, I must have missed your email, I see it now. I have to inform you that the only refund that you are entitled to is the last deposit made on the 28th of October, as the earlier deposits were made on the day of the self-exclusion request, and the day after. This period is considered to be too soon to contest refunds, as the casino also needs a certain amount of time to go through the self-exclusion requests.


Dear Hot.Bet Casino,


Let me mention that the player mentioning gambling addiction should be taken as a request for permanent self-exclusion, even if the player did not explicitly state any time period. Can you refund the player's last deposit, as it happened 7 working days after the self-exclusion request?

Dear Michal,


Please note that in the period mentioned the player has made successful withdrawal requests in excess of his deposited amount.


Following the above, a refund is not applicable.


Best regards,

For me, permanently closing my account would be more important. Is that guaranteed?

Dear Hot.Bet Casino,


Can you tell me what is the status of the player's account? Since he explicitly mentioned he wishes for permanent closure, is the account closed permanently, without the possibility of reopening?
