Hello

I opened an account with Igame and then I discovered that they have a trademarks at Unibet and Mariacasino and big players.

I chatted with their customer service and I asked if you could open an account with you if you self-excluded from Unibet maria and big players, then they said no that it is not possible, and I asked how it happened that you allowed me to open account with you (Igame) though I have excluded myself from Unibet maria and big players? Then she said that she will forward my case to the responsible department, and that I would receive a reply by mail. I waited a couple of weeks without getting any response. I heard from myself last week and wanted to know how my case was going then told them that they were waiting for update and that I would continue waiting. Nothing happened and yesterday I heard from myself again. And I was shocked when they said they couldn't see any self-exclusion. I asked how could that be possible. I have absolutely self-excluded myself from Unibet maria and big players, before opening an account with you (Igame).

The problem is when you chat with Mariacasino Unibet and major customer service then you meet the same person. I chatted with a girl named Nathalie at Igame and she said she can't see any self-exclusion at other companies I said ok then I went to Unibet to ask them why not go and login then I meet Nathalie again at Unibet and she said because i was self-excluded, i asked her if she was the same person i was chatting with at igame then she lied straight out and said no. I was both surprised and shocked. How can they play with me? Why can't they be honest and admit they made a mistake and just pay them back the money I lost.

Dear Moses,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Could you please forward me any emails confirming your self-exclusion from the sister casinos? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru. Have you self-excluded yourself or you blocked your accounts for a specific period of time? 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

Hello Moses.

I can't speak Swedish, but I understand your point. I count on casino representatives.

I want to ask casino representatives to give me a hand in this case and explain to us where is the problem.

Hi and thanks for your reply

I have received a response from them and it looks like this


We have looked into your accounts and you have never been permanently suspended at any of our brands Maria Casino, Unibet, Bingo, Big Players or with us at Igame.

You have used self-exclusion for a number of different time periods from 24 hours up to 6 months, mostly in your account with Unibet but you have never requested permanent closure.


We then chose to permanently close your accounts with us after your disturbing comments you had with us in your chat with us on Igame 22 / Apr / 20


Your accounts are now permanently closed to all our brands and we encourage you to share some of the links at the bottom of the email.


Due to the information above, there is no possibility of repayment of your losses.


I have self-excluded anyway and I do not remember exactly if it was permanent or a few months or years. The only thing I know is that I have self-excluded myself from Unibet maria and big players. And when you do that, you can't open an account with Igame, which means it doesn't matter if it's permanent or temporary. They should have stopped me when I would open an account with them (IGame)

Moses, I am trying to get some answers from a competent person via Skype. 


In case they fail to reply here, we will lead you to license authority and help you to submit a complaint there.


So far, they are non-responsive.


I am very sorry for your troubles.

Hello Moses.


I am very sorry for all the delays. I was able to find a good contact to the casino - their account is set now. They are informed about your case and promised me some help and answers.


I reset the timer, and we will see what they will find.

Moses, in your case it is https://www.spelinspektionen.se/


During the weekend, another casino representative contacted me. They may reply to you soon.

I spoke with another casino representatives, but it might take a while till she responds.

My suggestion is to contact the Gambling license directly.

Here is the contact information:


På grund av rådande situation med covid-19 kan vi ha längre svarsvarstider till allmänheten än vanligt.

Vi har öppet vardagar klockan 09.30 - 12.00.

Telefontid: klockan 09.30 - 11.30 Tel 0152-650 100 Fax 0152-650 180

E-post: registrator@spelinspektionen.se


One more time, I am very sorry that it takes so long - I expected a much faster approach from the casino with such a good rating. We contacted this casino three times, and each time they promised us help. Unfortunately, it has not happened until now.

Hello

I have written to the gaming inspectorate but they do not receive such type of complaints.

The Swedish Gaming Inspectorate does not try disputes between players and licensees.

I see that Igame has closed its Casino

Please how do you proceed?

Is there any international place to appeal?

It looks like they only stop operations in Sweden. I'll try to get better contact on somebody who could explain what happened and probably MGA could help then.

Hello Moses.

Today we got the info from another contact which suggests you contact their support again and they will explain to you all the reasons behind their decision. Please, Moses, try to write to them one more time. We are desperately trying to find somebody, who will explain here on our forum whats happened in your case. They, unfortunately, don't want to talk about it in public. (and I truly don't know why - we can make their posts private)

(Hi Moses,

We have already informed you about this.

You have never permanently excluded yourself from us.

'' You have used self-exclusion for a number of different time periods from 24 hours up to 6 months, mostly in your Unibet account but you have never requested permanent closure. ''

Please read the information above.

Thanks in advance.

I wish you a continued pleasant day!

Sincerely,

Nathalie)


I asked them before if you could open an account if you self-excluded from Unibet maria and major players (not permanently) then told them that it is not possible. And when I asked them how it came about that you allowed me to open an account with you, then I get the answer about permanent self-exclusion. I'm just disappointed and angry

Moses, in your case, depends when and for how long did you self excluded yourself. Do you have some evidence about the self-exclusion? (email what you sent them for example?) Could you please forward all this information to my email? (matej@casino.guru)


Technically, if you made self-exclusion for a short period it is possible that when you were making the registration to iGame casino, your old self-exclusion was already expired.

In this interesting case, we are missing key proofs from Moses. 


The casino gave us an explanation what happened (without any proofs) and in this situation, the only possible solution for Moses is to contact MGA. 


We are closing this complaint with status "Player stopped responding"


Moses or Casino can reopen complaint anytime.
