Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

4 months ago

The player from the United Kingdom had deposited money despite being registered with Gamstop and having gambling blocks on debit cards because transactions did not appear as gambling merchants. There had been no response to the player's complaint, and the support team claimed they couldn't access the complaints department. Upon review, it was found that the casino had closed the player's account immediately after her request. The player was advised to contact the Licensing Authority Gaming Curaçao for further assistance.

I have been able to deposit when I am registered with gamstop and have gambling blocks on my debit cards as they do not appear as a gambling merchant when taking money from your account therefore my bank could not block the transactions. I’ve made a complaint to which there has been no response so I contacted support team to ensure they recieved my complaint to which I have been told they do not know as they can’t access the complaints department starting to think the complaints department doesn’t exist.

Hi 49bwg8rdmh,

I have reviewed all the forwarded messages between you and Instant Casino, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any requests to close your account permanently.

  • Is your account still accessible?
  • Have you informed this specific casino about your gambling problem?

Thank you.

Yes they have closed my account however that’s not my issue really my issue is that these sites are not identifying as gambling merchants therefore making it impossible for my bank to block these transactions

Hi 49bwg8rdmh,

Since the casino closed your account immediately after you requested it to be blocked due to a gambling problem, we consider this issue resolved. I understand you relied on the block set by your bank, but unfortunately, we are unable to assist further with this matter. I recommend contacting the Licensing Authority  Gaming Curaçao at complaints@gaming-curacao.com of the casino for additional support.

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.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint as unjustified. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.
