Failed self-exclusion

UNRESOLVED

Case summary

3 months ago

The player from the Netherlands had struggled with gambling addiction and had repeatedly asked Lucky Max Casino to close his account since the 13th of April. Despite these requests, the casino had ignored them and did not implement any limits. The player then sought a refund for all deposits made after the 10th of April. The complaint was closed as unresolved due to the casino's failure to provide sufficient information and respond to further questions. We noted the lengthy self-exclusion process and recommended improvements, but ultimately, the casino did not engage meaningfully, leading to the complaint being marked as unresolved.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with a list of deposits for this player. As far as we can see, the account was closed immediately after the request was reviewed.

We strive to address all inquiries and requests promptly. However, please note that the timelines may vary depending on the nature of the request.

Dear Michal ,


As far as we can see, the request was made on April 13. After that, the player was sent for verification. As I mentioned earlier, the review times can vary depending on the department's workload. As soon as the verification was completed, we immediately closed the request. By the time the complaint was submitted, the player had already been closed.

hi luckymax.


you keep ignoring me here and by ur chat. Even emails. You only talk to casino guru representative and ignoring my problem. Let me tell u such a rude and disgusting casino. And you are manipulators. Making these tactics and nonsense excuses not to pay. Why you need a review to close account of gambler addiction? It takes seconds to close it in any other platforms. But you happy that gambler pays you their money. You don’t even want to show the transaction activity. What a behavior and waste of time.

Dear LuckyMax Casino,


Since we established that the player requested self-exclusion due to gambling addiction on the 13th of April, do I understand correctly that the player was asked to complete verification by sending documents? Can you tell me when exactly did you ask the player to provide such documents and when exactly the player sent them?

Dear LuckyMax Casino,



Thank you for the provided explanation. I would like to mention that self-exclusion due to a gambling problem is a very serious issue because the players often lose control over their actions and are not thinking rationally. Informing the casino about a potential gambling problem is an important part of the self-exclusion process and we at Casino.Guru believe that if a player has a gambling problem and informs the casino about it, their account should be permanently closed without the possibility of opening (except for certain situations like when a long enough self-exclusion period has already passed - we are talking about years) and also a relevant reopening process, which includes a sufficient cool off period (not a day but at least a week, ideally two) and also communication with the player during this cool-off period for verifying if the request was made in sound mind and wasn't just a temporary failure.



In this case, the self-exclusion process timeframe was too long (13.4 - 2.6). We recommend improving the whole process. The self-exclusion due to gambling addiction should be carried out within a couple of days. In this case, it was over a month. Therefore, the player should be entitled to get a refund of their deposits from 18.4. until the day of the account closure.



I would like to ask you if we understood the situation correctly or if there is any other information as to why was the player with a gambling problem allowed to reopen his account and play so easily.

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.

Since the casino did not answer our further questions, I have to close this complaint as unresolved. The complaint can be reopened anytime.

I am sorry we could not have been of more help.

The case is taking too long, since April and they are not replying or responding. And now is just another game. The casino should be banned and I don’t understand why casino guru still wants these casino in here.

Dear amoh04513,


Since the casino did not react, even though the complaint was reopened by their choice, I have to close this complaint. The casino has a Costa Rican license, but the license authority does not offer an option for officially filing a complaint. The casino also doesn't 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 rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach.


I can only recommend you choose casinos by their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,


Michal V, Casino.Guru
