The player from Germany, who suffered from a gambling addiction, had requested the casino to permanently close his account. However, the casino had reopened it, and he had lost €638 due to gambling. The player confirmed that he had asked for the account to be permanently closed due to his addiction but later requested reactivation. We had contacted the casino to discuss the issue, but they did not respond. As a result, we had to classify the complaint as 'unresolved', which could have negatively impacted the casino's rating. We had suggested the player to file an official complaint with the casino's licensing authority.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I had requested the casino via email on November 17, 2023, to permanently close my account. I also indicated that I have a gambling addiction.
On November 20, 2023, they closed my account.
However, they reopened it upon my request on December 5, 2023. Even though I asked the casino to keep it permanently closed. Due to my gambling addiction, I do not have control over gambling. The reopening of the account has resulted in a total financial loss of 638 €! Therefore, I urge you to persuade the casino to refund my 638€.
Best Regards,

Since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we have no choice but to classify the complaint as 'unresolved'. The casino can reopen this complaint any time.
Dear eurogalaxy85,
I am very sorry, but since the casino team has not been responsive, we are unable to continue with the investigation. An alternative option is to file an official complaint with the licensing authority of the casino. I may assist you with this process, and you can reach me at the email address provided below. Please note that this complaint will have an impact on their safety index on our website. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further assistance.
Best regards, Jozef
