Hello, I opened the casino on 10/25. asked to permanently close my account. The point was that a deposit that was debited from my bank account was not credited to my gaming account. On 10/27 I got the answer to wait. After that I again and clearly asked the casino to permanently close my account. This was ignored, the email was not answered and the account was not closed as requested. Driven by my gambling addiction, I gambled again. I believe this could have been prevented if my account had been closed as requested on 10/27. would have been closed. That's why I'm reclaiming all deposits. It took a total of 5 emails to close my account now.
I ask for intervention.
Best Regards
Nicole

Dear nicoledriesen,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:
Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.
On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problems).
Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? Did you specify in those requests for how long you wish your account to be closed and clearly stated the reason why? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru, alternatively, you can post it here.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Kristina

Hello Kristina,
Thank you very much for your email. I understand your reasoning, but I believe the message below is absolutely clear - even if it doesn't include the fact that I have a gambling addiction. The terms and conditions say that if you want to close the account, you should contact the email address I used, stating the "conditions" - that's exactly what I did. I clearly stated that I instruct the casino to close the account immediately and permanently. Had this instruction been followed, I would not have been able to make any further deposits, which was the intent of the email. That's a fact - closure as requested = no further deposits. As an addict, there are few moments when you realize how damaging your behavior is and then when you do the right thing and want to have your account closed, it's ignored. I don't think that's right and that's why I want my deposits back.
Thanks a lot and best greetings
Nicole

Hello Marcello,
Thank you for your message. I have no further interest in being a customer of your casino. So I would like to instruct you to refund me the €50 and close my account permanently.
Best Regards

Thank you for your reply, nicoledriesen. Do I understand correctly that you still have access to your account? Furthermore, do I understand correctly that you have not informed the casino about your gambling problem?
Also, could you please clarify if the issue with the lost deposit has been resolved in the meantime?

My account was closed on 11/13. closed after three more emails. I had received the deposit in the meantime. I did n't tell Palmslots about my gambling addiction in the first email, but made it clear that I no longer wanted to be a customer and that my account should be permanently closed.

nicoledriesen, I am afraid that if you did not inform the casino about your gambling problem in the self-exclusion request, you are not entitled to any refunds. We could help only if you clearly expressed your problems and the casino refused to close your account.
I can only recommend that when applying for the self-exclusion, 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. With such a request you also have a better chance to refund any deposits made after this request.
Please, let me know if there is anything else I could help you with, otherwise, I will be forced to close this complaint. Thank you very much for your understanding.
