Hello,
Unfortunately, I am having an issue with closing my account. The account keeps being reopened, even though I repeatedly request for it to be permanently and irrevocably closed. I have mentioned multiple times that I have issues with gambling addiction, yet the provider keeps reopening the account directly and without any issues. Could you please also send a request to the provider that I want my account permanently closed?
I look forward to your support and thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Loewin89,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:
Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.
On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with a gambling problem).
Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Veronika

Hello,
thank you for your answer. Here is the conversation with the provider. When I want to close the account permanently and ask for a self-exclusion, I always get the offer to reopen it on request

Hello, yes the account is closed but despite a self-exclusion the provider would immediately reopen the account upon request and does not respect my request for permanent and permanent exclusion

How many times has your account been closed for self-exclusion and subsequently reopened just after your request?
Did you make any deposits while your account was reopened?

Good morning,
Yes, I have had my account excluded several times on request and then had it reopened in the chat and it was always reopened on request. I also made deposits immediately afterwards and they didn't even wait 24 hours to open it, they opened it immediately.

I'm Kubo, and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. If there have been any new updates regarding this case since the last information provided, please let me know.
Since Kikobet Casino hasn’t registered their representative account on our platform yet, they can’t respond directly in this thread. However, I’ve reached out to their representatives through their official support email address regarding your issue and am currently awaiting their response. I’ll keep you updated here as soon as I have any news.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Dear Loewin89,
I have repeatedly tried to contact the casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. Since the casino operates with an unverifiable license and does not refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to.
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 casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email.
I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Kubo
