The player from Germany had requested self-exclusion from Lalabet for 24 hours, after being promised a cashback of €326 which she intended to withdraw. Despite the VIP manager's assurance of account reactivation, her account had remained closed due to an alleged gambling addiction, preventing her from accessing the cashback. The player also claimed that the casino had ignored her previous self-exclusion request, leading to further deposits and losses. After our intervention, the player confirmed that she received the promised cashback, leading to the resolution of the issue.

Hi, I was a customer at lala.bet in June 2023. I deposited a significant amount of money there. After some time, I was informed that I would be receiving a cashback of €326 on June 9, 2023, and that I could withdraw this amount. Not wanting to risk depositing even more money, I requested a self-exclusion for 24 hours on June 8, 2023. The VIP manager also confirmed that they would reactivate my account afterwards to allow me to withdraw the €326 cashback. However, on June 9, 2023, when I tried to log in and withdraw the cashback, my account was still closed. Upon inquiry, I was told that they couldn't reopen my account because I have a gambling addiction. But the agreement was to close my account for 24 hours and then pay out the €326 cashback. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive the payout.

Dear Lesa,
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.
- Have you ever requested your account to be closed or suggested a gambling problem when communicating with the casino?
- Could you please advise if you have self-excluded yourself from any other casino in the past?
If there’s any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.
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

Actually, no explicit permanent closure was requested, just a time out of a maximum of 24 hours. After 24 hours, my account was not reopened on the grounds that I had a gambling addiction, which I did not express, and the cashback that I actually wanted to pay out and was promised to me was denied because they no longer opened my account . I think they would have liked to close my account but only after I got the cashback. I was expecting the cashback of €326. I think the casino just wanted to avoid paying me out and then they simply closed my account. I don't think that's right!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I didn’t get any answer yet of lala.bet nor did I receive the cashback over 326€. They just told me I need to wait and they will get back to me. I am waiting for it for 3 days now.

Hi I find out something new:
I wanted a self exclusion for over 6 months on 20th May 2023, and I told them that I feel like I can’t control myself ( please see attached). They ignored the request of my self exclusion. So I was able to deposit more and more. I was also able to do withdrawls. So after that time of stating I wanted a self exclusion I was able to deposit 3809€ and did withdrawals over 3270€. That means I lost after my self exclusion 539€ !!!!
So because they ignored my self exclusion and I was able to deposit I got an cashback bonus over 326€ on 8th oder 9th June 2023. The day before I told them I wanted a self exclusion for 24 hours and they told me I’m able to cash out the cashback the next day but they kept my account closed.
i think they should have kept my account closed whenever I told them to close it and not close it whenever I wanted a time out again and then keep it closed and keep the cashback over 326€.
So now that they don’t reply and finding an agreement I requested the lost money back over 539€ that I have lost after I did a self exclusion on 20th May 2023.
