UNRESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Spain had self-excluded from the casino in August but had previously deposited a significant amount. He also mentioned being overcharged on deposits and opening another account using the same personal information. The player requested a refund for the deposits made during the self-exclusion period. The Complaints Team attempted to contact the casino for clarification but received no response. Consequently, the complaint was marked as 'unresolved,' and the player was advised to contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority for further assistance.

Hello, I excluded myself from this casino in August, and I deposited a lot of money into my first account. On top of that, I was overcharged whenever I made deposits. I managed to open another account with a different email but with the same personal information, phone number, and debit card. I request a refund for the deposits since I self-excluded.

Thank you.

Dear juanlopxzz7,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. 

Could you please confirm that you have passed the KYC verification with the first account?

Do you have any confirmation from the casino that your casino account was closed?

Would you be so kind as to forward me all the account closure requests that you sent to the casino?

Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at dominika.l@casino.guru, or post screenshots here.

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

Best regards,

Dominika

Hello, I have already sent you the conversation I had with this casino, on top of that when I deposited money they charged me between €5 and €50. You will see at the end of the conversation that they will close my account because I have a problem called gambling addiction.

Hello juanlopxzz7,


My name is Michal and I will be assisting you with your case. I hope that together we will come to a successful resolution of your issue.

Dear Instant Casino,


Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate it if you provided us with any and all relevant evidence.  


Thank you in advance.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. 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 decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority (https://anjouangaming.com/dispute-terms-conditions/) 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,

Michal V
