Case summary

8 months ago

The player from Greece had requested a self-exclusion from MyEmpire Casino due to gambling issues and had demanded a refund of all deposits made since the request. The casino had failed to act promptly, which led to the player depositing an additional €220. The player's account had not been verified at the time, even though they had deposited and withdrawn money several times. After a month, the casino had finally disabled the player's account. The casino had agreed to refund the deposits made after the initial closure request, subject to the signing of a waiver. After some delay and follow-ups, the player had confirmed receiving the refund, and the complaint had been successfully resolved.

Hello JoannaS,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with MyEmpire Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? How long after your request did you deposit again? How much did you deposit so far in total since your request? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about? Did they ever respond either on live chat or e-mail support?

Please forward the exact same e-mail with your exclusion request which you sent to the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

I sent them an email That I got the automatic answer that me request will be processed. Never answered me or blocked my account. I tried talking from the chat but it would load(maybe that's my phones fault)


I deposited all the money yesterday and today 26-27/01. It was 220 euros.


My account is not επαληθευμενος even though I have diposited and withdrawn money several times. On the site it says that it doesn't need to be.


I sent print screens from everything


Thank you

Hello JoannaS ,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case, and although I can see that you have indeed informed the casino team to close your account due to gambling addiction, it lacks some other important information. We have prepared this template for your convenience to properly address the account closure due to gambling issues in the future:

When applying for the self-exclusion or account closure due to gambling issues, state clearly the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible.
 
Example:
Email subject: Self-exclusion or Gambling issues
 
Player’s info:
First name:
Last name:
DOB:
Casino login:
Email address:
 
"Greetings xxx Casino,
I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).
The reason that preceded my decision is xxx
I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."
 
Please send another email to xxx@xxx (you can CC me at xxx@casino.guru in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. If there is any option for an alternative contact such as live chat or WhatsApp, please try that too and save screenshots of the relevant communication.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite MyEmpire Casino to join the conversation.



Dear MyEmpire Casino,

Could you kindly explain the reason for the delayed closure of the player's account? While I acknowledge that processing such requests may sometimes exceed the stated 24-hour timeframe, it is crucial to prioritize these cases promptly. In our collective efforts to promote a safer environment for both players and casinos, we propose a fair approach: considering the player's disclosure of gambling issues, would it be possible to refund the deposits made since they notified you about their situation? We appreciate your consideration of this matter.

How long do I have to wait for a simple return of my deposits? I already waited 1 month for my account to be blocked.

If the money is not returned to me immediately I will contact the corresponding Greek organization to block your casino!!

Dear JoannaS,

I empathize with your frustration, and I concur that the refund could have been completed by now. However, it's crucial to recognize that each casino has its own set of rules and processes for handling such situations. I sincerely hope the refund will be swift.


Dear MyEmpire Casino,

Could you kindly inform us of the expected processing time for the player's refund?
