REJECTED

Case summary

8 months ago

The player from the United Kingdom had reported a gambling problem to the casino but her account was not blocked, which resulted in additional deposits being made. She was requesting a refund for the deposits made after informing the casino of her issue. We had asked for evidence of her request for self-exclusion, but she failed to provide any. Her claim of a non-working live chat feature and lack of response from the casino could not be substantiated. Despite having extended the response time, she did not provide any further information. Therefore, we could not investigate further and had to reject the complaint.

Thank you very much for your cooperation in this case. Please, could you explain why the player's account has not been blocked after she informed you about her gambling problem? Although she does not deserve to receive the refund before 12th August, after 17th Jan 24 you were clearly aware of her addiction and the best practice would be to block his account asap.


The refund I am requesting in this dispute is after I told them 17th Jan 24 about my gambling issues and they didn't block anything which resulted in more deposits being made which I feel warrant refund 


It is standard practice and also common sense. If a player tells you they have a gambling issue then as a company who promotes responsible gambling

Hello Mumoffive87,

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. Could you please advise what reason you have given when requesting to block your account? Did you request it by live chat or casino e-mail? Is your account currently closed? If yes, since when exactly? How much and how long after your request did you deposit?

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Nick

Hello Mumoffive87,

Thank you for the e-mail forwarded. Unfortunately, there is not a single mention of gambling addiction or request for a self-exclusion in it so it was not valid and the casino had no obligation to close your account.

Do you have any actual evidence of mentioning gambling addiction to the casino?

Please note that if you do not have such communication with them, we can do nothing as they did nothing wrong.

If you do, please forward it to nikolas.b@casino.guru within the next 7 days otherwise we will be forced to reject the complaint.
